Hi there, I am Kyle Varnell along with my beautiful wife Kassy and our six children, Elijah, Nehemiah, Abigail, Noah, Maryam, and Lydia. We began our farming venture because we want to raise healthy food for our family.  It started with meat chickens and has moved us to more and more of the farming lifestyle.  Our livestock now includes poultry, cattle, and pork. The farm is helping us to become more self-sufficient while improving the land and the quality of food available to our family, friends, and neighbors.

Mark was great and very responsive when we had a question. Brought us a cool sticker and a extra day due to real bad weather when we were coming down to the site. Really private and for those looking to get away from the city and just walk around on private land. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a private remote gateway or a place to stop on their travels.

Nice setting, convenient to nearby hiking, wineries, forest service roads, and plenty more to explore. Very easy in and out for the trailer. Was especially nice to have hookups (to run A/C) in the summer heat/humidity. No issue with the neighborhood dogs mentioned in the description, they were friendly and unobtrusive. I'll be back - but next time in spring or fall when the heat and bugs are down.

Weekend Trip to A Secluded Mountain Getaway

Overall loved my stay and will be back. Host was extremely accommodating and pleasant to meet. The site had level areas and room for multiple people! You can hear the neighbors and their dogs but I still found it very private. There's still plenty of birds to hear ☺️ The host has set up a beautiful gazebo with a large fan that my dog really enjoyed. I slept on the porch swing and it was so nice. The only real issue was that I barely managed to pull my truck into the site and had to get help getting out because it was a super tight squeeze. The host has an area right before you pull in that you can park at so ask him about it! I was going to stay longer but someone had booked - if it is available I would definitely consider booking this spot!

Weekend Trip to Shackalakin What's Crakin RV Park

We love this campsite! It’s off the road but we didn’t have issues with any loud cars. Loved the electric gate, made us feel safe! The property isn’t fully fenced so we kept our dogs on long leashes and walked the trail along the perimeter - really beautiful! The bistro lights were a nice bonus and we found enough down branches/twigs to build a fire. The WiFi and offshore power were great too. We’ll definitely be back!

Our family loved staying at Robby's place! The RV was so nice and a good size for our little family of 4. Our kids ask everyday if we can go back, that's how much they loved it! It is very private and Robby is super hospitable. We're already trying to plan our next visit because we didn't get to explore his land as much as we wanted. Everything was amazing, we actually needed a little help learning how to work the water and drain the tub after bath times for both kids and Robby was up there and ready to help ASAP. He's super responsive and had a ton of incredible information to tell us about the native land we were staying on. I had to go to Chattanooga for a work trip, but it never felt like work when we got back. The firewood he provided gave us 3 nights of fires and the bed was so cozy, even though my husband and I are both really tall. Our kiddos loved the bunk beds and slept through the night, which is rare with two toddlers. The amenities are so nice and it really is such a short drive to Chattanooga. We will always look back on this trip as one of our favorites and we can't wait to visit again. Thank you for everything, Robby.
