Hidden Ridge is a peaceful wooded hideaway overlooking Otter Lake, offering an authentic, off‑grid camping experience with a few comforts of home. Your stay includes a 14×16 canvas wall tent set on a stilted deck with a queen bed and beautiful lake views. A private outhouse with a flushing toilet, hot shower, and outdoor cooking area are all yours.
We’re beginning construction on a tiny treehouse nearby, so you may see an active build area as our long‑time dream takes shape. Many campers enjoy watching the progress.
Groups are welcome — up to eight guests. Bedding is provided for two; additional campers should bring tents, cots, or air mattresses. There’s plenty of space to spread out and make camp your own.
Otter Lake offers boating, skiing, tubing, and excellent fishing. Canoes and kayaks can be rented through Otter Lake Park, and the boat ramp makes it easy to launch your own. Note: Otter Lake is a no‑swim lake. Check with the park office for fishing permits or fees.
Hidden Ridge is fully off grid. A small solar‑powered battery provides just enough energy to pump water for the bathroom and kitchenette and to power a few soft string lights. Please use electricity sparingly so the battery lasts your entire stay. Enjoy lanterns, firelight, and cooking over an open flame or grill. Winter heating is provided by a small propane heater.
Verizon and AT&T service are reliable; plan to recharge devices from your vehicle.

Weekend Trip to Black Sheep Flower Farm
Great cabin set at edge of woods with huge windows that puts you right among the trees. The weather was warm but this location, the lower evening temps, plus the cross ventilation allowed by the window screens made the cabin temp feel just right (and especially nice at night). It's a good sized space for those guests staying solo or as a couple. Front porch is ideal for watching sun rise. Ample acreage to explore and yet (if wanted) provides the privacy and solitude to allow you to be your true self with nature. Relax in the hammock (very comfortable) and/or the double-seated garden swing. Fun to watch the lightning bugs and stars come out at night. Didn't have the chance to meet Dennis, but found him responsive to email and accommodating to work with. Definitely recommend.

It was so peaceful and beautiful. The cabin had AC, which was fantastic. But even during a July heatwave the property was a nice temperature to walk around, especially the woodland area. The host was great, and very responsive! I will stay here again.

The Watkins cabin is such a special, peaceful place. And so secluded, with woods and beautifully maintained trails at your cabin door. The pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful the landscape around the cabin is— gorgeous! This is an ideal location for experiencing the outdoors, while still sleeping indoors with a bathroom. Cabin’s heat worked great, and it had everything we needed. My son asked if we could come back next week!

We had a great time staying at Watkin's Place. The home and location were exactly what we were looking for. The home is isolated and feels remote even though it is only a short drive to Hardin. Plenty of hot water and full kitchen made our stay comfortable and a step up from tent camping but we still had the "out in nature" experience. Our dogs loved it as well. Hiking took us through open fields and forest sheltered paths. Watkins Place was clean and stocked with the necessities, including linens and basic cooking supplies. If you are looking for a cross between roughing it and glamping, Watkins Place is exactly the right fit.

We enjoyed our stay in Cabin #2 @ Peacetree Farm. Katie was a wonderful host. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and our room had nice cool A/C with a serene view into the woods. They were welcoming of our dog and had a goofy kitten that came to play with her frequently. Stargazing was amazing; being in such a remote location and far from any major city lights. We saw several shooting stars and could clearly see the Milky Way. We walked the 1-mile loop around the gorgeous 7 acre lake and saw some breathtaking views along the way. We relaxed by the water and did some fishing - we didn't catch any but we saw another group pulling out a few good sized fish. There weren't a lot of other campers there and everyone was spread out over the property so it felt like we mostly had the place to ourselves. We had our own fire pit (wood provided) with chairs provided and also had access to our own charcoal grill. We had access to a canoe and kayaks and had planned to paddle around the lake with our dog but ran out of time. We hope to go back again in the future. This was a wonderful getaway for us to relax in nature. I highly recommend this place if you're looking looking for a very peaceful getaway in a gorgeous remote location.

We had such a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary here with our toddler. You can tell how much love is put into this land and we enjoy it so much here! We had a very rainy night and the cabin stayed cozy and dry. The land is quiet and was perfect for letting our little one run around. We will definitely be back 😘

We stayed in the cottage and loved it! It was very clean and comfortable. The lake is great for swimming and kayaking. It’s so quiet and peaceful at the farm. Perfect for stargazing at night and watching beautiful sunrises. Katie is a wonderful host! She gave us some of her tomatoes when we forgot to bring our own. Highly recommend Peacetree Farm!
