We loved our stay at the Camp House! The outdoor pool was a huge hit with them odd and we appreciated the games, puzzles and kids book collection. The location at the trail head tk the Community Forest is also a huge perk, when biking with littles who are learning, being proximal is helpful. Other fave aspects - the espresso machine, air conditioning, a very well stocked kitchen and great outdoor seating areas.

Cumberland MTB Retreat @ the Camphouse

The Camphouse is a beautiful home, and easily one of the most comfortable places I've stayed. Paulina was a breeze to communicate with, and the home had everything we needed for a great get away. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful time

Great property for a family reunion. The space was perfect for our needs and we enjoyed the space and the small town of Cumberland. Local woodland lakes, bars and restaurants all very good. Thanks for our stay.

Beautiful and convenient

4 of us stayed here for a writing retreat and we found it a beautiful place conveniently located walking distance to beautiful forest trails, restaurants and museum. All the amenities but also access to get away from it all. The house itself feels like it should be in Architectural Digest or some such. It does stand out quite a bit amongst the more modest neighborhood houses (which maybe accounts for the surliness of 1 neighbour we encountered when we turned around in their driveway and they came out to tell us that was private property - but this didn’t really impact our stay for the rest of the 3 days) A few minor things were missing - eg we ran out of hand soap and dishwasher pucks, and there was no hand-washing dish soap, but the folks doing the property management told us to co tact them if we needed anything, so that was on us that we didn’t communicate to ask them while we were there. They are lovely people and the property owner was very prompt in all communications. Would highly recommend for a writing retreat or a splurge if you like access to beautiful trails, quaint town and cool architecture.
