The beautiful view overlooking Lake Hope, the namesake of the 2,983-acre Lake Hope State Park. The park lies entirely within the 26,824-acre Zaleski State Forest. The park provides opportunities for #hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, photography, dining, and general R&R. The park even has a really cool summer program where you can feed hummingbirds from your hand! You hold a vial of sugar water at arm's length and from out of nowhere the hummingbirds start appearing! If you're steady and patient, they'll begin to feed right in front of you!

The floor was very dirty. My white socks were black after one night. Feral people knocking on my door at all hours of the night. Very strange.

The hard work put into the structure and creation of the treehouse was very much appreciated. Only catch was the Keurig, but we left a not on the counter about that one. One small recommendation, maybe using gravel where the steps are to help filter water and keep the wood from becoming slippery ...
