Rustic Escape on an 8-Acre Homestead, Agro-Tourism Retreat, Pines, Trails and Wetland Views Step into a peaceful, off-grid retreat on our 8-acre working homestead, where open grassy fields meet whispering pines, and nature invites you to slow down. Set up camp in the wide-open meadow or follow a quiet trail through the woods to a secluded, wooded site overlooking untouched wetlands. This stay blends rustic camping with simple farm life, goats, chickens, fields, and wetland edges all in one place. It’s the perfect spot to relax in a hammock, stargaze by the fire, or kick back and stay a while. We border protected wetland conservation land, offering a truly remote and rustic experience, secluded, yet still close to town for anything you might need. Please note: This is boondocking/Dry camping only. There are no toilet facilities, so we ask campers to bring a bucket, sawdust, and pack everything out. It’s your stuff, we don’t want it. Farm Life Bonus: We share the land with friendly goats and egg-laying hens. You’re welcome to say hello, feed the goats (they LOVE weeds, feel free to

Welcome to our beautiful property! This is a very special place, located an hour from Chicago and only minutes from the west suburbs, you will be transported to another time! This has to be the best “swimming/ fishing hole” in Chicagoland and you can have it all to yourself. The property features 20 acres of woods, prairie and an 8 acre lake!!! The lake is crystal clear because it’s so deep (reportedly 125 ft) and is sandy on the bottom. We created a massive beach area with many camping spots to choose from. The kids will love exploring the trails on foot and on bike. Everyone will love lounging under the umbrellas on the comfy chaise lounges and enjoying the views. You won’t want to leave, but if you need to restock, there a gas station 1/4 mile away and full service grocery store and restaurant under a mile away. We even get pizza delivered! There’s a nice driveway of gravel that leads to a nice open field for RV campers. Tent campers can continue to the beach and set up in style. The property was once an active quarry and was then basically abandoned for 40-50 years. Nature took over over, Trees matured, the stocked lake grew some massive fish. A few years ago we started camping out there and just loved it. We’ve worked hard to make it amazing and we want to share it with you.

Offering a great little spot to overnight as a rest area between Chicago and Milwaukee only 2 miles off of 294. Nothing special but a low-cost option to park and relax.

Only can support tents, vans, or small RV pull behinds up to 20 feet. Total of 5 acres with a couple locations to park depending on what your preference is, whether more remote in the back of the property, or by the house close to the outhouse. One night only.

It’s a scenic, easy 850-foot paddle through the shallow channel out to the crystal-clear waters of Lake Mary. • Explore Two Lakes: Another, much shorter channel connects Lake Mary to Lake Elizabeth—perfect for low-profile watercraft to glide under the footbridges and explore both lakes in one trip. • Pristine Water: Lake Mary is known for its incredible clarity and lack of seaweed/algae, making it a dream for paddlers. • Complimentary firewood for your campfires, all I ask is that you please be respectful of how much you use because I want to offer this amenity to all guests this summer!
