We moved to our 3 1/2 acre property in 2012 to escape town life and to enjoy a more simple family life. Nestled among the trees, our home is the perfect setting to relax and enjoy what God created - singing birds, fragrant flowers, colorful sunsets, gigantic ancient sycamores, and rushing creek waters. We're excited to share this beautiful area, especially the adorable shed and gardens we created for others to experience the peace of God. It's our hope that many will discover the tranquility we have come to appreciate here. Learn more about this land: The Shed Retreat is a sacred space for anyone looking to shed their worries, fears, and busy schedules. Once a home for goats located in a secluded area on our property, it is now a peaceful garden oasis among the trees for those seeking a break from the norm. Inside, you can enjoy a cozy and relaxing place to lounge or rest.  Outside, you can spend time around the fire pit, collect fresh eggs for breakfast, kayak on a nearby river, bike to local ice cream shops, or take a nap in a hammock.The Shed Retreat is a sacred space for anyone looking to shed their worries, fears, and busy schedules.

The Shed Retreat
Lovely Place to Recharge
What a gem! Heidi and Kurt have created an oasis of a retreat in a beautiful setting. A rustic place to stay with modern comforts. We were welcomed with amazing peanut butter chocolate muffins - they were perfect with the coffee supplied for the morning, sitting on the porch watching the day unfold. The prior evening we enjoyed dinner in town at MainView and made a campfire at the site. The outdoor lighting added coziness. The two kittens are the cutest and sweetest! The entire property is beautiful and we only wished we were able to stay longer.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything during my stay, Kurt and Heidi were kind and thoughtful hosts, I was traveling solo, they extended an invite to Easter services at their church, It was a beautiful service and I felt welcomed. The space is comfortable, the bed perfect. The space heater kept everting cozy. I enjoyed the firepit and collecting fresh eggs for breakfast. I will definitely be a return visitor. Looking forward to kayaking.

Goat Shed Goals
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at The Shed! For an old goat shed, this place was amazing! Our hosts were quick to respond and answer any questions we had. It was so cozy and relaxing and everything we were hoping for to celebrate our 3rd anniversary! When we arrived, they had cozy robes & delicious welcome muffins, firewood & kindling stacked and ready to go, and the friendliest "welcome committee" of 3 lovable cats there to greet us. If you are looking for a quiet, cozy space with a few extra creature comforts to getaway and recharge, restore, or reconnect, then this is definitely worth looking into! 10/10 would recommend and will probably stay there again someday!

A Sweet Retreat!
My first HipCamp experience, and it was GREAT! The Shed was perfect for me, and my only regret is that I only booked 1 night. As they describe, The Shed is behind their garage, and secluded from the main house and the neighbors. I felt like I was in a sweet little cottage in the woods, with Adirondak chairs and a bench surrounding a fire pit, and 2 sweet kitties to welcome me and keep me company. (Cats aren't allowed in The Shed, so if you have allergies, no worries.) The Shed itself was just lovely, with a sitting area, Kuerig-type coffee machine (and so many choices of tea and coffee!), and a very comfortable bed. There's a curtained area in the corner if you decide you want to use the camp toilet in the room, rather than the outdoor camp toilet, which is just a few feet away from the entrance to The Shed. They had WiFi available in The Shed, and clear instructions on how to use it, as well as informatino about local places to visit if you want to go into town. I didn't meet Kurt and Heidi during my time there, but their texts were clear and friendly, and they seemed genuinely interested in providing warm and welcoming hospitality during my stay. I would definitely recommend The Shed for personal retreats, or just an overnight stay. I travel a lot between MN and PA, and finding a place like this to break up the trip was a real gift. I hope to be able to visit again, and I hope you gt to stay here too!

The shed was everything we expected and more. Kurt and Heidi were exceptional hosts kayaking on the hill River was awesome! We will definitely come back in the spring and spend more time! The only problem we had was it was too short!

Fantastic
It was a perfect and unique experience for my husband’s and my getaway. We needed quiet and nature without the work of a tent and such. They had everything we needed and more available which allowed for some needed relaxation even for just one night stay. Also loved the nearby town feel with all the brick buildings and coffee shop!
