Weekend Trip to The Country Retreat

Perfect little country get away. Very secluded, quiet, and peaceful. The house had everything we needed. Our 2 dogs had a great time running around the land. We'll definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to PeaceTree Farms

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.

This place is a hidden gem. I was only there for one day, but was able to experience full serenity. Plenty of time to get out on the canoe and catch some fish. The cabin was super comfortable and air conditioned. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying. Thanks Katie and everyone at the farm!

I had a wonderful stay with my husband and 10 month old at PeaceTree Farm. Katie was very welcoming, informative, and easy to text with if we needed anything. We wanted a warm stay in nature, get away from crowds, and enjoy a hike. We got it all at the farm! The lake is gorgeous. We’ll definitely be back with our camper van when it’s warmer.
