GeerCrest Farm was settled by the Geer family in 1848, and is still owned and stewarded by the family. The house Ralph and Mary Geer built in 1851 stands and is one of the oldest in Oregon to remain in the same family. The farm features creeks, forests, pastures, orchards and gardens as well as the historic buildings. Currently we have four friendly sheep and a small flock of Mallard ducks to keep us company. The Pioneer Memorial Orchard features over 50 vairieties of pre 1850 apple trees. The Heritage Grove has ten fruit and nut trees that were recognizeds as a memorial the the early pioneers of the nursery trade by Oregon Heritage Tree program. The 20 acre property, offers three tent camp sites Including the Tree House site, as well as two forest cabins and a small forest bunkhouse (sleeps 6). Our peaceful, small farm offers a reflective immersion in nature and history among the occasional quacking of ducks and baaas of sheep. The scenery from all corners of the farm is incredible - a favorite is the westward view of the valley pasture at sunset -- called "Homer's View" after famous political cartoonist and Geer descendant, Homer Davenport. No matter which camping site you choose, the sounds of the creek, pond frogs, or conversing owls are sure to lull you to sleep. Feel free to roam the farm, but always leave gates as you find them, open or closed. Please say hello to our sheep and barn cats (they may say hello first). Explore the Heritage Grove of historic trees, the Memorial apple orchard and pear glade with varieties circa 1840s, indulge your senses in our medicinal herb garden, and chat with our farm family while they water the veggie gardens, if you so wish! Your experience will certainly be unique to the season. Your host Jim Toler represents the fifth generation of the farm and will happily share stories of the farm and it's history. GeerCrest Farm is truly an off-the-beaten-path gem.

Cabin · Sleeps 6 · 1 bedroom · 6 beds · 1 toilet
Enjoy a short walk over a babbling creek footbridge and up a dreamy woodland trail to the bunkhouse. Overseen by oak, maple and fir trees, this lodging has a bed each for up to six friends.  Great for a family with kids!  The space features two twin beds and two bunks each sporting a pair of single-size (6'3"x2'1"x4") memory foam mattresses. We supply fresh sheets, waterproof covers and pillows and ask you to bring your sleeping bags!  You may open the windows on either side of the bunkhouse to welcome a refreshing cross breeze through the simple, rustic-yet-refined space.  North-facing french doors open up to a sizable covered porch revealing views of the surrounding trees and the not-too-distant barns and outbuildings. The cabin has electric overhead lighting. There is a sawdust compost toilet (also with switch light) off of the back porch.  In both daylight and moonlight, the restorative sounds of wildlife will be accompanying your retreat! *Firewood for the fire pit is not included, so if you would like to have an outdoor campfire, please add it on as an Extra, before booking your stay.*   The historic farmhouse is a two minute walk from the bunkhouse. On its back porch, you will find the shared outdoor sink with hot and cold drinking water and a dish washing and food prep area.  Feel free to enjoy mealtime at one of the two picnic tables in the grass lawn. Pencil in a v our small-but-mighty herd of sheep; two small ponds; and our various vegetable and herb gardens. Meander through our heirloom apple and pear orchards, watched over by historic hickory, black walnut, and English walnut trees. Please do catch a glimpse of the idyllic sunset over the west valley pasture! Silver Falls State Park is a 20 minute drive away. The park is full of beautifully curated trails that weave around and even under many epic waterfalls throughout vast forestland.  Silverton, 10 minutes away, is a quaint and historic town featuring a diverse assortment of eateries, food trucks, and grocery stores, not to mention a bustling weekly farmers markets and craft markets. IMPORTANT: This accommodation is a short, one minute walk from the parking area with a moderate incline up a graveled path. It is surrounded by forest floor vegetation so bring your adventure shoes. (We typically don't have any major mosquito or bug concerns, but feel free to bring your repellent.) There is a second HipCamp lodging and a residential cabin nearby. Please be mindful of sound, especially after 10 pm.

Tree House in the Valley
Such a great stay. The whole farm is so beautiful and serene. We started at the treehouse site. SO beautiful. Sheep came up to us and were grazing in the field on the site with us, there was so many birds, we could hear the creek, and some bats were flying around at sunset! 💗 the treehouse is so cool and well built, and having the picnic bench underneath was great. There was also a swing at the campsite, and the composting toilet was awesome!! So clean, didn’t smell at all, had solar powered lights outside of it and one that came on when you went inside. Hand sanitizer, toilet paper and wipes already there was a great surprise too!! And there were no other campsites nearby so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Jim was also super friendly, he let us borrow chairs since we forgot to pack ours, had plenty of firewood at the site already when we got there, and was available on call when I had a question. I can’t wait until I can visit again!! 💗

Heritage Grove
Jim's farm has lots of options from tent camping to cabins and a tree house. I put my little trailer on some open grassland. There is a compost toilet nearby. Running water is a bit more of a walk. There is lots to see at the Farm - duck pond, herb garden, sheep. I enjoyed a quiet sunset as no one else was nearby. There was a loud party next door on Saturday night but they ended it by 10pm.

Charming and cozy. Loved sitting on the deck next to a creek-wetland, watching the birds. Jim is sweet and his sheep are neat and cuddly! Bonus swag, candy lifesavers. Solo female, felt safe.

We stayed a night while traveling in Oregon. The farm was well kept and peaceful. Jim came out and gave us firewood for the pit and let us know about what's happening in the area. He was kind and hospitable. We enjoyed watching the sunset over the hills and interacting with the sheep just on the other side of the fence before having a campfire and retiring to our tent for the evening.

Jim took time to know his guests. He cared about how it was going and if we needed anything. Brought out a playhouse for my kiddos and a beautiful farm. Great for sunsets, walks and sitting on the porch. Perfect for a big family and close to Silverton. It was our favorite place to stay since using hipcamp. A real treat while on vacation. Thank you, Jim😊🙌

Beautiful place to spend a night or two, or more! There’s a little traffic on Sunnyview Rd but it’s really not a distraction from the calm and delight of the views and bubbling creek that runs through the farm. The sites are spacious and well-situated. Sunsets, birds, grazing sheep and foraging ducks. Quite idyllic. My favorite aspect of this farm was exploring the numerous native plantings that are prominent features of the Pacific Northwest. While the orchards had their heyday, the native plants continue to feed the critters and it’s a great feeling to be in their midst.

We had a wonderful stay at Geercrest - the cabins were really cozy, the kids loved the lofts, and I loved reading about the history of the property with coffee on the deck! The hosts have put a lot of thought into amenities and while rustic, it feels like a glamorous upgrade from the state park yurts and cabins we've stayed at. We can't wait to come back again. Thank you Jim!

GeerCrest Farm is a little slice of heaven! We rented the bunkhouse for our daughter’s birthday and the girls had the best time exploring the property. So many fun things to do and lovely spots to enjoy. The hosts were very gracious and helpful - setting up badminton for the kids to play, and loaning us a camp stove so we could heat up some soup. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend.

We had an amazing time at the farm. The animals were super friendly, and the hosts were there for whatever we needed. The cabin that we stayed in was really clean and cozy. We enjoyed s’mores at the fire pit and playing cards on the back patio. The only suggestion I can make is to have a lower wattage lightbulb in the cabin. Thank you so much for having us. We had an amazing time. I would recommend these cabins to anyone who wants a wonderful farm experience.
