Took my son for a short camping weekend and given forecast decided not to mess with traditional campsite. Aefintyr was a fantastic choice. Chelsi was so accommodating and responsive. Gave local guidance to fishing spots, and when we were in need of follow up to know where to get our firewood, she responded immediately. Cabins were very well maintained, clean, and the bathrooms w/ showers were perfect. Siting on the deck at night was perfect. Not a lot of bugs. Cabins were hot, but with a box fan and ceiling fan provided, it made it comfortable enough to sleep at night. I would highly recommend a weekend here. Especially, if you are looking to experience outdoors without a lot of the work and a unique place with all the amenities of almost a traditional hotel. Thank you for a great experience.

My sis and I stayed at Celtis in mid-Aug of 2024 and had a wonderful time. The bed at Celtis is the most comfortable mattress! The extra blankets were great too - it was chilly. No bugs whatsoever. We slept with the walls 'rolled up' so we could feel the nice breeze at night. We got to hear owls hooting, coyotes yapping, distant cow moos, and deer barking (yes, barking.) The only drawback was that for our first night there was a very rowdy bunch of young folks having a good time at the nearby group site. "Quite hours" started at 10pm but they continued on until at least 2am making noise, even after we asked them to tone it down. Aefintyr states that quiet hours are enforced but this wasn't the case that night. The rest of our stay was incredible though - perfect stargazing area, clean composting toilets! And cool glowing fungus and grasses - bring a black light and see what you can find at night. But watch out for poison ivy! Chelsi was in touch before we arrived to make sure we knew where we were going, where to park, make sure we had a map, etc. The hike up to the bluff top units is STEEP and unrelenting! Wear your practical shoes! I hope to return and check out the other on-the-bluff Aefintyr units!

What a magical hidden gem! From our first night listening to a howling coyote pack, to fireflies surrounding our floating cabin in the woods, to baby squirrels playing in the trees as we sipped our coffee in the morning. This campground is located on a bluff overlooking the state park. I'm very surprised more people haven't found this place yet. We stayed in the North Cabin followed by a night in the bed in the woods. We especially loved the cabin stay. A great place to do some luxury camping.

Beautiful, unique campsite. Gonna be hard to find one like this elsewhere. FYI, however intense you think the hike up to the campsites is going to be from reading their website, it will be harder. Chelsi was very responsive. Highly recommended.

Stayed at aefintyr for a weekend getaway. With all the rain, I was unsure of going. Chelsi, our host, responded to my questions and concerns promptly. We still went, but stayed out first night at quercus, in a big bell tent, which had more room to be move and be dry. The tent was amazing with little solar lights. I was very excited about staying at celtis, which was an outdoor bed. That was magical! If you are looking for an escape in nature and not afraid of a little work to make it happen, this is for you!

Found short notice for a quick get away. Stayed at cabin #3 and had a great time. Relaxing for a few hours underneath on the swing was wonderful. Hiked up to the top stargazing area and enjoyed some quite but had too many clouds. Enjoyed hiking at Whitewater State Park and the thunderstorm from the deck was wonderful.

This was a really cool spot! Perfect for a group of friends or family to enjoy time outdoors, while not having to worry about weather as we would have with tent camping. Chelsi and Chris were very kind and great hosts.
