Weekend Trip to The Olive Grove Cabin Tent

After three long months of going to school and finals I really need this break! We really enjoyed camping at the Olive Farm. It was so super cute and relaxing. We enjoyed the fresh eggs and the olive oil, the outdoor kitchen was really useful and the bathrooms were clean and easily accessible. We will definitely come back and stay again. Thank you Deirdre for being available to always answer my questions!!

Lakeside spots are great. Beautiful views of the water and spectacular sunsets. The host was fantastic. It was quiet barring just a bit of local traffic on the road. The bathhouse is functional but a little rough (old fish camp facilities).

Peace and quiet. Good conversations nightly around the campfire with the local group and guest. Great bass fishing. Looking forward to my next visit.

4 nights at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

These guys are excellent hosts! Everyone was friendly and laid-back, as well as super accommodating. The pig was super sweet, Thomas the turkey kept us great conversational company, and the goats were adorable.

1 night at Cabin Glamping

We loved our stay! It was an adorable cozy little cabin with the benefits of camping--dinner over a fire, enjoying the outdoors, and an outdoor shower (so cool and enjoyable--even when it got cold at night!). We will definitely be back here. Perfect for a short getaway weekend and very easy to take kids with you without the stress of cramming into a tent and/or getting bad sleep on the ground. We brought out 5 month old and had plenty of room for her portacrib ! Very simple and fun!

2 nights at The Olive Grove Cabin Tent

My stay at the Olive Grove was perfection! I stayed in cabin two, a modest a-frame with comfortable accommodations. Deidre was available when needed, but her and other staff gave us the space to enjoy the property without interruption. Plenty of firewood was available for purchase, the bathrooms and outdoor communal kitchen were lovely and private for the most part. I spent much time here resting, journaling, and enjoying a private fire. I left feeling rejuvenated and peaceful, just as I hoped! Thank you Deidre and crew for the lovely space to breathe and reconnect!

2 nights at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch
