History Of Property

Picture
History of the property Hoffman's Camp 1920's-1950's

After living here for a few years, I found out that long before the dome was built the property was called “Hoffman's Resort”. 

The original resort was owned by Carabel & Lou Hoffman. They used to have Sunday dinners for the guests cooked by Carabel.  People loved staying here and couldn't wait to come back as evidenced by the guest books they signed!

Grandma Carabel also wrote some beautiful poetry that I so love. I have photos of the cabins and huge trees from that era.

I am honored to once again bring to life the long history of welcoming
new friends to this beautiful magical place on earth.

Enjoy the slideshow of photos that were taken in mid 1940's.
