AMAZING STUNNING PROPERTY! PRIVATE! PEACEFUL! Absolutely heaven sent! A place that will stay in your hearts forever. The property's backdrop is the lush James Goodwin forest where you can walk directly from to hiking trails. Fall asleep under the magnificent brilliance of the millions of stars, hear nothing but the sound of crickets, croaking frogs, hooting owls; see fireflies light up the night and fall asleep to the sound of the streams running right alongside the property. Watch the ariel acrobatics of the swallows swoop into the barn to feed their chicks! The two streams feed into the huge Natchaug River right across the street which is great for fishing, or spending the day at Diana's pool basking on the rocks with a picnic lunch. The area and property is perfect for hiking, horseback riding, small retreats, family gatherings all the while enjoying nature at its purest.
We offer a Weber grill and large fire pit and outdoor picnic table with umbrella.
You can either sleep in the barn, down in the clean stalls, or up in the barn loft. Bring supplies as if you are camping ie bedding, hammock, tent, sleeping pad or inflatable mattress. There is a long wooden table up in the barn loft that seats 14. There are games up there too, (dominos, cards, trivial pursuit etc). You may also camp outside under the starry skies.
No loud music. Noise off by 10.30pm please
We provide a VERY clean porta potty and the barn has electricity and running (cold) water. Bring a solar portable shower should you need.

State park 20mi from Willimantic · 62 sites
Pachaug is Connecticut’s largest state forest, clocking in at twodozen acres. Oh wait, excuse us, two-dozen-thousand acres! That’s 24,000 for the non-bakers here. Long story short, it’s going to take a loooong time to explore this whole place.
Pachaug is derived from the Indian term meaning bend or turn in the river. Unsurprisingly, the Pachaug River is one twisty son-of-a…headwater, probably. Anyways, this makes for excellent boating and the fish seem to like it too, if you catch our drift. And why wouldn’t they? This place is something else.

Come stay on our working farm!
Relax and enjoy all that our farm has to offer. You can enjoy nature and privacy or opt for a more interactive experience and join our morning or evening farm tour where you can interact with goats, sheep, mini-horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more.
We are a small family farm where we raise animals and grow flowers/food. Our family home was built in 1739 and is situated near the street entrance.
As you enter the property, you will see two cottages, the oldest corn crib in the county, and a beautifully restored 1800s barn. There is a vintage-style camper to the left of the barn, located in an area where you can have privacy overlooking the pastures.
We live on the property and can assist guests with anything that they might need.
Guests are welcome to stroll around the property and enjoy all it has to offer. We have a farm store and education center opening summer of 2025! Check our website to see classes and offerings that you might take advantage of during your stay.
Please note, that we ask that guests do not enter the barn or fenced pasture without one of the farm owners (Molly & Diego). Our animals are accustomed to people, but livestock is unpredictable, especially to people that they do not know. There is plenty of area outside of the pasture that guests can enjoy. If you opt for a farm tour we promise that you will have plenty of interaction with our many animals.

I reserved the terrasphere and three glamping domes for my bridal shower. The hosts were there to greet us when we arrived and helped move our heavier party supplies and sleeping gear from the parking area to sleeping areas with the help of their off road vehicle. The hosts were great to speak with and work with.
Some of my guests carried their gear the walk from the parking area to the terrasphere. The walk goes past the horses and is easy enough for flip flops, but also uneven enough with rocks that requires keeping an eye on where you're walking.
Firewood was provided for the fire pits, propane provided in the grills, and we used their power bank, Bluetooth speaker, and projector in the terrasphere to watch a movie. I brought my own HDMI cord to connect the projector to my computer. There are a couple tables and metal chairs. We did yoga using the available mats, carpets, and blocks. We used the power bank to blow up several full size air mattresses for sleeping.
The event was late July and the bugs and such were very manageable.
My guests had so much fun, and most of them rarely camp, and some had never been camping before and said it was a great experience.

Amazing getaway from any neighbors! We had 6 of us ladies and plenty of space! Having a kitchenette with a fridge was huge as we got to leave our bigger coolers at home which allowed us to leave a little extra room in the suv for other camp stuff. Danielle was only a message away a d was such a great host! It downpoured our last night but we will definitely be back to enjoy a full weekend away.

our second time visiting the cabin was as magical as the last. The weather was beautiful the breeze was just right and mistys hospitality was unmatched and communication was a breeze.
The only downside in the summer is the bugs which as you can expect in the summer can get brutal when the sun goes down and the breeze is no longer blowing. perfect time to visit here is spring or fall or even winter when you can cozy up to the fire and not worry so much about the bugs. we love this cabin and look forward to it being part of a new tradition for our family of 3

And more beautiful than the land itself were the people. We had a bit of car issues and David went over and above to make sure we were safe and set. The true meaning of , salt of the earth . Definitely going back.

This site is large and private with dozens of unique features and details that make spending time here so delightful. The treehouse was stocked with books, games, led light fans, bug spray, and a refrigerator. From the screened porch we saw so many birds flying over the lake. We enjoyed a walk through the forest and saw a family of turkeys! Outside there is a fire pit, charcoal grill and gas grill. It was very hot so we didn’t get a chance to use these. The host was helpful with our initial questions, and the only thing we would have changed was the 90 degree weather! This site is a short drive from Mystic and Westerly with great restaurants and shops.

I found this place looking for a place to go tent camping and stumbled upon the treehouse. After looking at the pictures I realized I wanted to pay for the upgrade. I am 100 percent happy I did. The amount of details and heart that was put into this place cannot be put into words. If you are thinking about this treehouse, do it. I cannot recommend it enough. Also the more you explore the treehouse, the more cool things you will experience. I don't want to ruin the surprise of finding and trying things that I have not attempted in years. Just know that this place comes with side quests.
