Weekend Trip to Cattail Springs

I had a great experience at The Hollow at Cattail Springs! I was the only one onsite during my time there, so I had the whole place available to me. There was plenty of firewood so the fire stayed hot, I had complete access to the pond, and I had ample time of solitude which I was after. I couldn't recommend booking through Cole enough! He was there waiting for me when I arrived and was like talking to someone I had known for a long time. Thanks for the hospitality!

Weekend Trip to Cattail Springs

The landscape here is beautiful. Lots of wetland life. This particular campsite is great for car and tent camping. Easy in easy out. Near toilet. One side is small rocks the other side is soil. The soil can become mud with heavy rain but as Cole and Janel further develop their camp each week it’s getting better and better. They put lots of passion into their work and are super great hosts. The week I was there they were installing a stream that runs from the top of the hill to the pond. What a cool feature and this will help mask the sound of the highway.

Weekend Trip to Cattail Springs

This is my new favorite camping spot in Indiana!! It's a quiet, hidden little gem. Our camping spot, The Hollow, was nestled between a couple other spots but there was so much room and privacy away from others, and each spot is settled around a really nice pond where you can fish or take a nice walk around. No electricity or running water, so there's no shower which would be a nice addition but we don't mind either way. The owner welcomed us upon arrival and was so kind and welcoming. We would have stayed there all week if we could have! 10/10 totally recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Cattail Springs

The Campsites are in a very peaceful location, by a placid lake surrounded by the shade of a forest. It’s close to nature. I went to sleep to a chorus of bullfrogs croaking woke up to a choir of birds singing to the rising sun. The Campground at the State Park was full, but Cattail Springs offered more space, solitude and nearness to nature. I would recommend it to anyone.

Weekend Trip to Heritage Farm Stay Adventure

We've been coming here since 2020 (both during spring and winter) and absolutely love the place. We made it our annual tradition and now we have expanded our plans to an additional stay at their bigger cabin - smaller for June trips, the bigger one for November trips. If you'd like to disconnect from "the chaos", yet be comfortable during your c(gl)amping (a real restroom, shower, heatingm portable AC, grill, fireplace, etc) and within driving distance to a store and restaurants in case you forgot something, this is your place! Rugged enough if you want to go a bit rougher, yet all amenities for you less adventurous team members. This place is truly awesome! Proprietors are an absolute national treasure! We've been coming back here every year, just got back from another great outing and starting this year we are making it a twice-yearly tradition. Try it! You will not be disappointed! Cheers!

We absolutely LOVED this place! The cabin was impeccably clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We came with our 2 year old and she had so much fun on the farm. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to and the animals were so sweet. Not to mention, best hosts ever. We will definitely be back!

We’ve visited Heritage Farms for several years now and my kids always have the best time. Whether it’s the nature walks to the creek, observing the animals, the hillside slide, or just sitting in the sunshine, they have the best time.

My partner and I wanted to dip our toes into the glamping life, and Acacia Farms was the perfect place for us to do this! The property is lovely and the tiny cabin adorable with all the finishing touches to make it feel homey. We absolutely LOVED the goats and the barn cats (if you love intense kitty snuggles, you are going to have a ball with PK, the tuxedo cat ❤️ The self check in process was a breeze and we had complete privacy. I can’t wait to return with my grandson!

Heritage farm was an amazing reprieve for our family of 5 with two college freshman who enjoyed being in nature! Exploring the property, meeting all the animals who were so friendly, fresh farm eggs for breakfast, and a picture perfect fall weekend. Thank you so much for a weekend to remember for our whole family.
