Weekend Trip to Water Forest Retreat

After a must needed retreat this was the place. Bert and Nancy are the sweetest couple. Upon welcoming Nancy and I met with a warm hug she greeted me, which felt like family. My heart ❤️ goes to this beautiful property. My eyes were in just such gratitude seeing this land. This is a great taste of New England too for 🐟 Nancy and Bert are so kind and generous ☂️multiple things they have already prepared son you can pack less. Bug spray, dishes, soap 🧼. Love the tripod for grilling. We would love to be back. This is a great place to make memories with our family. ✌🏻Don’t forget the Trails! Excited for that next. 🍄🌲

The beautiful water along with the peace and tranquility were all amazing

Weekend Trip to Destination Farnch

We had an amazing time at Mike’s camp, even when it rained one night! There was plenty of firewood available, and the space was vast enough to accommodate a large group. We were upgraded to Phoenix Landing, which is more secluded and away from road noise—definitely a great spot for a peaceful getaway. We visited at the end of winter and could already tell that the area would be lush and beautiful in the summer. There’s a nice walking path on the property, perfect for a leisurely stroll. While there is a bathroom and shower on-site, we didn’t use them since we were only there for two nights and brought our own setup. The campsite was clean and well-maintained, and the land at Phoenix Landing was leveled, making our tent setup super even and comfortable for sleeping. There’s also a platform available, but we opted for a more primitive camping experience. We met Mike at the mushroom factory, and he was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and polite. Checking in and out was a breeze, and whenever we needed to communicate, he was always available and responsive. Overall, we had an awesome experience and would highly recommend this spot!

Pleasant, attentive, detailed hosts! Nancy made sure we are comfortable and showed us everything. She was so prepared, staying at her tree house is like staying in five stars hotel! Clean, all and even more than enough all essential supplies you’ll need to stay comfortable. Easy to reach and communicate if you have any questions. Gorgeous, peaceful place to visit, stay and enjoy. This is definitely a come back place! Thank you very much for doing such a great business.

This was our second time staying at the Hiker's Haven. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We had a lovely little fire in the fire pit. The trails are well maintained. It all made for a very rejuvenating stay. We do hope to stay again in the future, maybe it will become a yearly tradition.

Deer Mountain Farm

Since 1800.Learn more about this land:Privacy, exclusivity and serenityJoin us at Deer Mountain Farm, nestled on a plateau at the top of Deer Mountain, near the Sharon/West Cornwall border in Connecticut's legendary and historic Northwest Corner, surrounded by unspoiled forest land and beautiful distant hills. Deer Mountain Farm offers the ultimate in privacy, with 70 acres of land, no neighbors in sight or earshot, and no other campers to disturb you. Our beautiful old farm features 30 acres of fields and 40 acres of forest preserved for wildflowers and wildlife, a mere 3,000 feet from the Appalachian Trail. Located at the very top of the hill on a dead end road that terminates at the state forest, we are blessed with complete quiet, zero traffic, and no noisy neighbors.To ensure the ultimate in tranquility and privacy, we offer only a single campsite situated at the edge of an expanse of fields filled with wildflowers. You will never be disturbed by other campers because we only host a single group at a time.We maintain the property in such as a way as to provide maximum hospitality to local wildlife. Grasses in the fields are allowed to grow long, and the forest is kept relatively untouched, providing excellent habitats and food sources for ground-nesting birds. A dizzying array of circular pathways wind their way through the fields.On a recent birding walk with an expert from Audubon, we spotted at least twenty species of bird, including Grey Catbird, Eastern Towhee, Chestnut-sided Warbler, American Redstart, Red-eyed Vireo, Veery, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, Song Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, Purple Finch, Tufted Titmouse, Brown-headed Cowbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Bluebird, Black-and-white Warbler, Baltimore Oriole, Pileated Woodpecker, Tree Swallow, Red-shouldered Hawk, Eastern Phoebe, Mourning Dove and many others.Take a path through the woods to a dirt road that leads you straight to the Appalachian Trail (past a singularly ambitious beaver pond) and enjoy a day hike, or simply enjoy the stillness and the incredible variety of bird sounds. Spot the occasional coyote, bobcat, or bear in the quiet and watch the raptors circle overhead as they hunt rodents in the fields. Deer Mountain Farm is bordered by 3,500 acres of preserved State Forest land, teeming with birds, whitetail deer, coyotes, wild turkey, possums, occasional bears, bobcats -- just to name those creatures we spot regularly around the farm. The Appalachian Trail runs right through this stretch.At the bottom of our little mountain runs the Housatonic River, a very popular destination for fly-fishing and canoeing. Electric bikes can be rented in the nearby village of West Cornwall. Kent Falls is about 15 minutes down the road, also a great place for a day trip. Explore the area, then return to your secluded campsite to enjoy the sunset in a chorus of tree frogs and birdsong.The large swamp just down the hill through the woods is a very popular spot for passing birds and other wildlife. An Appalachian Trail campsite provides paths down to the water for bathing.Enjoy the bounty of outdoor activities the Northwest Corner has to offer, then enjoy the absolute peace and stillness of Deer Mountain Farm.The SiteOur single Hipcamp campsite is about 500 feet from the dead-end road, separated by a grove of sumac and a stone wall. Very private but only a short stroll from the main house where indoor facilities, including bathroom and shower, are provided exclusively for campers. As we are located at the top of a small mountain with consistent winds, directly bordered by the state forest, and our property consists largely of grasslands and forest, we do not allow traditional campfires on the site. However, we provide both a charcoal grill and a small firepit that may be used by campers, weather and aridity permitting.At Deer Mountain Farm, we live surrounded by wildlife and the beauty of nature and hope to share this magic with you.
