About this property
Forest Cabin #1 at Camp Because I Said I Would
Summary:
Rustic charm meets modern comfort at this woodland retreat. Enjoy Spectrum internet, indoor wood-burning stove, and outdoor hot tub. Sleeps 6 with 2 private bedrooms, queen-size log futons, and modern amenities. Secluded location with private backyard fire pit, picnic area, and grill.
The Space:
Camp Because I said I would is owned by a charity, so 100% of our fees go to our nonprofit. Because I said I would is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and we have programs for families in bereavement at this camp. However, we rent our 5 resort cabins during downtime to generate funding for the charity!
Our 92-acre camp and retreat center is in the heart of Amish Country in Knox County where it is very peaceful, private, and quiet. Our property features a 1.5-acre swimming and fishing lake (seasonal), a 2-acre vineyard, 1 mile of privately-owned canopied forest trails. We are so much more than just a place to sleep!
Guest Access:
Guests access this cabin from our second driveway and a property map is provided after booking. We have digital keypad access! Please note you have to drive down a gravel road for about a half mile to get to our property. There are 2 parking spots for cars right next to the cabin, but more parking is available on our property if you are OK with walking a bit.
Other Things to Note:
If you are interested in booking multiple cabins, we have 5 cabins with a total of 16 bedrooms and 13 baths. We have 5 hot tubs on the property, so every cabin gets its own 😊 If you have any other questions, please let us know! Thank you for your interest in a cozy stay, but also for the impact your cabin rental fees have in supporting our charity and the families in bereavement we serve.
Interaction with Guests:
There is a property staffed every night. There is a Guest Support Textline to help you during your stay with a response time of around 1-hour or less.
