9.6/10 Exceptional! (70 reviews)
Pine Haven is new, and has been thoughtfully built. The cabins are roomy and well laid out, with a small but functional kitchen area at one end, and a tiny loft at the other that kids will adore. Every cabin (and RV stand) has a fire pit and picnic table, and the facility has a wide grassy area surrounding it, good for short breaks with our hound. It’s only yards from a high-speed highway: approaching from the west requires a u-turn followed by a sharp exit so keep your wits about you! The Gas Light (across the highway into Rockerville) is a true local eatery, friendly and fast. The nearest trail is The Flume, only a mile down the road. It’s a bit steep in places, but well worth it.
