The space
The 9 Acres is situated (you guessed it!) on 9 acres of abundant greenery adjacent to the Chautauqua Gorge State Forest for your friends and family to enjoy. This property is home to 3 micro A-Frames. The A-Frames share 2 eco bathrooms with gravity fed water and composting toilets. Each A-Frame poses a minimalist setup with everything you need, but nothing more so that you can unplug, and reconnect with the world around you.

Guest access

Other things to note
The 9 Acres is off the grid (no electric or running water), we provide solar lights and battery-powered lights to try and keep the light pollution in the stargazing field at a minimum. Each A-Frame is equipped with a portable solar power station so you can keep your devices charged and make your complementary morning coffee/tea using our kettle and french press. Fresh drinking water is also provided in each A-Frame.
Enjoy roasting marshmallows over the fire-pit which has Adirondack seating for six overlooking the pond. We supply firewood for your use. Please do not cut down any trees while you’re here. Our land is precious and we haul our wood from offsite.
Your camp is located in natural wildlife habitat. Bugs and critters make up our natural ecosystem and come with the territory. None of our sites are ideal for insect-phobic guests. We do everything possible to keep them outside, by thoroughly cleaning the space between guests, but some inevitably still wander in.
Cell Phone/Internet Service:
Cell phone service is a bit spotty on the property. We do not provide internet at The 9 Acres specifically for you to unplug with our low-tech minimalist setup.
Events:
All guests should be listed on your reservation, please let us know if you are expecting anyone. All event inquiries, please contact the host.
No pets. No hunting. Catch & Release Fishing Only.At The 9 Acres, we embrace the beauty of living off-grid. While this means you'll be able to connect with nature on a deeper level, it's essential to be prepared for some amenities' limitations. There is no wifi or running water on-site, but rest assured, we will provide you with ample drinking water for your needs.
Connectivity: While we encourage a digital detox, we understand the need for communication. Please be aware that cell service may be spotty in the area, so it's best to inform your loved ones before settling in.
Canoeing and Fishing: For some exciting water activities, we offer life-jackets for your safety during canoe trips. If you decide to fish, we encourage catch and release practices to preserve the natural ecosystem around us. When we purchased the property in 2019, the pond was neglected and about 1/3 the size it is now. We spent the last 3 summers working to restock and populate a healthy eco system. All we ask is that when you fish, please try your hardest to remove the hook before releasing back into the pond. Unless absolutely necessary, please do not cut the line and release the fish back into the pond with the hook. We are trying to be as eco-friendly as possible!
Composting Toilets: Additionally, we want to inform you about our eco-friendly composting toilets, which are an integral part of our commitment to sustainable practices. These composting toilets are not only environmentally conscious but also easy to use. Upon entering, you'll find a container of wood shavings or pellets next to the toilet. Before each use, we kindly ask that you scoop some of the wood shavings/pellets into the toilet to aid in the composting process. Once you're done, simply scoop in some more wood shavings/pellets. Rest assured that our team will empty and maintain the composting toilets daily before the arrival of each new guest, ensuring a clean and fresh experience for everyone. With your help and understanding, we can collectively contribute to minimizing our environmental impact and leave a positive footprint on this beautiful landscape.
Security Cameras: To ensure the safety and security of all our guests and the preservation of our beautiful surroundings, we have installed security cameras at specific locations on The 9 Acres property. These cameras are strategically positioned near the pond area and the driveway. The cameras at the pond serve as an additional safety measure, enabling us to monitor activities near the water, especially during canoeing or fishing. The cameras also assist in safeguarding the property when it is unoccupied between stays, ensuring that it remains a secure and tranquil retreat for all who visit. Please rest assured that the security cameras are solely intended for safety and property monitoring purposes. We highly value your privacy and have taken measures to ensure that your comfort and peace of mind are never compromised during your stay.
We want you to have an enriching experience and make the most of your time at The 9 Acres. Our team is available to assist you with any questions or concerns during your stay.Once again, thank you for choosing The 9 Acres Eco Glamping for your upcoming adventure. We can't wait to share the magic of this place with you!
