Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Camp among the pines on Little Jay

Where do we begin! This was such an amazing experience for our group! We loved the spots for camping our tents! Obviously we were aware of the extra parking spots for vehicles up top the driveway which worked out perfectly fine! It’s just a bit of a walk down to the site but that’s totally fine! Great area to let dogs roam and swim! Owners were absolutely AMAZING! They were so helpful and wonderful to meet! They supplied us with plenty of firewood and we chose to do a pontoon rental through them as well which was in great shape! We went with a group of 9 of us and enjoyed every minute! Great location for privacy on the lake and we loved being able to have the property to ourselves and our pets! Two fire pits to use, one by the lake and one up by the camp site. The lake firepit was a bit hard to sit everyone around with the angle of the hill but the upper one was perfect! Couldn’t say more positive things! Well done & will be back!

Weekend Trip to 16 Squared Cabin

We loved spending time at this cute little cabin! The property was beautiful and very well kept and clean. The views were amazing and it was so peaceful. We had a pet emergency and had to leave a night early, Amanda was very accommodating, friendly, and helpful in our prompt departure. If we ever come back to this area, we'll definitely come back to the cabin! Thank you Amanda!

Weekend Trip to 16 Squared Cabin

Very cozy cabin and beautiful land. This was a very “all to yourself” site other than 1 day a parade of side by sides went across the property right behind the cabin. We weren’t aware that others would be accessing the driveway/trails on the property during our stay. There were lots of ticks but there were not mosquitoes. Bring flashlights as the inside of the cabin stays dark throughout the day because of so much tree coverage which is great for temp control. Amanda was great for fulfilling our water needs. We would absolutely go back.

1 night at Two Rivers RV and Campground

I stopped for just a night while on a camping/road trip. It was a really nice place. Pretty clean (there were a ton of cig butts on the ground at my campsite, but it didn’t bother me). The trails were nice. I only walked a bit but it was really pretty. The toilet was really clean and well kept. It looked like a fun place to spend a few days.

3 nights at 16 Squared Cabin

Great stay! The snow blocked the sign to the road but Amanda was helpful in getting us back on track. Once we were there the cabin was exactly what you could ask for. Warm cabin surrounded by gorgeous scenery blanketed in snow.

This land was homesteaded by my great grandparents in 1900 as part of the Homestead Act of 1862. After losing my store to fire in 2013, I took the leap, and decided to open the farm to the public. I have a menagerie of animals, many rescued or adopted, that love all the attention. My friends' kids love camping in the pasture with the animals and when I saw an ad for Hipcamp, I thought maybe others would want the experience, too!Learn more about this land:Yoga with goats meets camping with alpacas! We offer camping in the small animal pasture of our family petting farm. (We also offer campsites away from the critters if your not too sure about sharing your space with livestock!).
