Cedar Springs Greenhouse

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Just minutes from town yet very natural, serene and private. The Blufftop Greenhouse is 6'x 10' and has electricity, lights, air conditioning & heat. The futon sofa converts to sleep 1-2 people, w/ an air mattress stowed beneath it for extra sleeping space if needed. Linens, pillow and 2 fleece blankets are provided. Coffee is included and set for service inside. The greenhouse sits on a deck with a small cafe table and 2 chairs, there are two reclining lawn chairs and a fire ring. One bundle of wood is included and more is available as well as 5 gallons of potable water per person and a few basics for cooking/dining. Right beside the greenhouse is a private outdoor shower and an outhouse is on-site as well. There is plenty of room for more people to bring smaller campers, trailers, or overland vehicles for additional people to camp, one level spot for a tent.

The site itself is wooded, with shade and sun, it sits on the rim of an old limestone quarry with impressive views of the quarry cliffs and the rolling greenways of Silvercrest Golf and Country Club. Like golf? You can walk down the trail and be there in a few minutes.

Throughout the property are a few hiking trails, with varying degrees of difficulty including a private 4 wheel drive historic road which has access to College Drive. Campers may use the quarry for fires and gatherings. There is a historic limestone house on the lower property which may be used for photo opportunities but can not be explored inside at this time. There is also a limestone creek bed which is rich with fossils and periodically offers up trail treasures such as antique bottlers and cans and square nails.

Campers must be 18 and over due to the possible dangers of a natural environment which contains high elevations, cliffs, falling rock and wildlife. There is only one site listed at this time so campers will pretty much have the place to themselves. Hosts are 500 feet from the site, on the other side of the woods so you'll have lots of privacy. Dogs welcome, please keep them close by you at all times.
