7. Lovely and spacious tent-like accommodation near hiking trails (from USD 95)

What makes Pointe of View such a compelling option is that it’s run by a caring and hospitable host, which means that guests will feel right at home once they check in.

But you’ll probably want to stay here due to its tranquil surroundings where the only sounds you’ll hear come from the birds and the nearby creek. As with most long-term rentals, this property also accommodates guests opting for a longer stay. The tent-like accommodation is clean, secure, and spacious, yet features most necessities to make your stay as convenient as possible. These include a kitchen so that you can prepare any meal you desire, free parking on the premises for your vehicle or rental, and toiletries for your hygiene. And when you decide to venture out for a bit of adventure, you’ll have much to look forward to due to all the hiking trails, walking paths, and mountain ranges that you’ll find in the region. But do take the time to discover Emerald Hollow Mine, Love Valley, and W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir in the surrounding areas.
