Use any “Book your stay” button on this site to see current availability and reserve directly through our booking site.

Cancellation terms are shown during booking and in your reservation confirmation. Please review the terms attached to your specific stay before completing your reservation.

We do not allow pets at this time. Our no-pets policy is strict because of the abundant wildlife on the property, including animals that may not get along with dogs. We hope you’ll still consider joining us—it’s a magical place.

We are currently open from May 1 through October 31. We plan to offer year-round stays in the future.

Even during midsummer heat waves, the mountains around Edgewood are often cooler than surrounding cities, and evenings are typically significantly cooler than daytime. We find it makes for great sleeping weather, though temperatures vary and the cabins and tents are not air-conditioned.

Our separate bathhouse is approximately a 1–2 minute walk from your unit. It serves our five cabins and tents, with three garden shower rooms and three toilet rooms. Each room has its own private entry, but the facilities are shared among guests. The garden showers are one of the highlights of the Edgewood experience.

In spring and autumn, the showers are hot and we provide blankets for sleeping, but the cabins themselves are not heated. May and October weather can vary widely, from warm days to a small chance of snow. October foliage can be colorful or already fallen, opening views of the valley and surrounding peaks. We understand that camping in cold weather is not for everyone. We generally ask for five days’ notice if you decide to cancel because of the forecast; for snow or a major storm, contact us about a last-minute refund. Please also review the cancellation terms for your specific booking. We recommend bringing cozy layers and pajamas, as well as bathing suits and beach towels.

We provide sheets, blankets, pillows, a battery-powered lantern, and soap, shampoo, conditioner, and toilet paper in the bathhouse. Bring beach towels for waterfall swims or lounging, cozy sweatpants and sweatshirts for cool evenings, your preferred sundowner beverages, and ingredients for s’mores by the fire.

There is no cell service at Edgewood. Wi-Fi is available at the bathhouse.

Check-in is after 3:00 p.m. and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible, but please confirm with us in advance.

We provide drinking water on site, but no other food or beverages at this time. We’re happy to recommend local restaurants.

Driving is the most convenient option. Trailways offers bus service to nearby Hunter, and local car services may be available for the final leg. Check current schedules and arrange onward transportation before traveling.
