Looks like you are not going to get any personal experiences.
There is a Wikipedia entry written by someone who knows what they are talking about.
Here, if you want to know more about growing difficult terrestrial orchids, you seek help from the specialist native orchids societies. Must be similar societies in the USA.

Have you tried contacting Robert's flower supply in Ohio? They sell native slippers and may be able to help.

Hello Dave:
I have never heard of a Cyp. acaule being successfully raised indoors. If you're in zone 5 then stick to the outdoor planting. If you plant in a terrarium setting, the plant probalby won't have the depth of soil needed, not the type of soil - it wants good drainage. Also, lack of good air circulation. Then of course, it needs a long winter dormancy.
This species resents trauma to its roots. Once a root is damaged, it takes years for the plant to recover and produce flowers.

I once saved a cyp from a local excavating project - the backhoe was poised! otherwise enjoy these in the wild. I had to dig at least a 2 foot diameter chunk of soil to be sure to avoid the roots and cart it in a wheelbarrow home. At the time I had a correct spot for it. It tooks years before it bloomed again, then the conditions changed, some trees had to be cut and the cyp then declined.

Best of luck ~
