1 night at Aefintyr
These cabins are perfect for a winter get away! Watching the first snow of the year come down while comfy on the porch was incredible! It is close to the road, but the traffic generally sounds far off and ambient in the background. The cabins are warm, the bunk beds are fun even if you’re grown ups, and the windows on the ceiling are incredible for watching snowfall. The hiking around this area is incredible!
We really appreciated the quick response and availability of a cabin short notice. Another place had double booked and cancelled our booking a few days before our intended night away and Chelsi really came through and saved our Thanksgiving week!

My wife and I had such a great stay at the Rock Bottom Cabin. It is a very cozy and secluded place. We particularly enjoyed hiking the great network of trails on their beautiful land. We hope to be back!

Weekend Trip to Gilles Family Dairy & Woodland
Mike and Joan thought of everything. It was a perfect short stay for us. We appreciated the kindness shown to us and the ride to and from the site. We had our own little spot in nature with everything we needed. Campfires were so easy with the setup provided. Loved the presence of drinking water and wash up water. The compost toilet bathroom was clean and perfect. I’d come back in a heartbeat. Remember to bring warm sleeping bags or blankets if you are headed there in the fall!

The land, cabin, Cathy and family and of course the goats were all amazing. My kids had the best time! Everything was as described and perfect. The cabin worked great for 5 of us and the cabin amenities like games, hammock and fire pit were perfect.

Third time at The Edge charming rustic cabin since earlier this summer. It was wonderful to see the seasonal differences of the surrounding corn and soy bean fields over the months. Other than the host Edward stopping by on the day of arrival to show me the ropes of the wood stove, my dog and I had complete solitude for four nights. Like my last two visits, I hit the weather jackpot with sunny breezy days near 65-70 degrees and mild nights. Hard to imagine tiring of this sweet place. Edward has been timely in responding to all my questions and for those who aren't familiar with the general area, everything you can imagine for your camping/cabin/food needs are about 10 minutes away (Fleet Farm, Menards, various fast and slow food restaurants, etc.).

We loved our stay! The goats were friendly, the trails were great, and the kids had a blast looking for fossils. A lovely place to get away for a weekend.

4 nights at Gossman Goat Ranch
Was a cozy little cabin in the wood. We enjoyed hiking about the property and visit the animals. We really enjoyed the hammock and porch swing. Cozy fires and beautiful stars! Thanks for creating this lovely spot.

Weekend Trip to Gilles Family Dairy & Woodland
We loved our weekend deep in the woods staying in the Wooden Tent.
Mike was great to work with and guided us right to the site and gave us a map of the trails to hike on. This is such a cool site and Mike and Joan's willingness to share their land with others. We had a few rain showers while trying to set up and the wooden tent was bone dry inside! The site has firewood, your own saw dust out house, garbage/ recycling, wash water, drinking water, chairs around the fire/ cooking area, they have literally thought of everything. Make sure if you visit you bring plenty of lights its dark dark that deep in the woods. It also seems 4-5 degrees cooler being that deep in the woods. We also didn't have any mosquitoes when we visitied mid September.
At night you could hear owls and coyotes off in the distance. We did not see a single other person while camping and the few other sites are far away from each other so the nature sounds can be heard all day and night! We will 100% stay here again in the future. I will never camp at a regular camp site with neighbors again after this experience! Thanks again Mike and Joan for sharing your land and a great/ cool experience.

This was our third time back to the Gilles Family Dairy & Woodland, and our second stay at Rock Bottom Cabin. We brought friends with us this time, as we knew they'd love it. The site is down into a valley, surrounded by hillsides full of trees. It is very spacious and private. The grill set up for cooking over the fire was great, especially for a group. There is wood on site for the fire. Picnic table is extra large. There is a large awning on the front of the cabin, which came in handy when we had rain one evening, and still wanted to be outside. Mike and Joan are gracious hosts who clearly care for their property. This can be seen through communication, how well thought out the sites are, and how the trails on the property are cared for. I have no doubt we will visit again in the future.

Miek and Joan were extremely accommodating with our stay. First, there was rain in the forecast so they upgraded us to the Hilltop Queen, which was lovely! I was very impressed with the setup (of all the sites, we took a walk around) and the outhouse is the BEST I've seen on hipcamp (and there have been other great ones!). Fire pits, water, and refuse setup made all aspects of enjoying the site easy. There was no "oh this is hard bc we are camping", just pure enjoyment.
The trails were lovely and the map was much appreciated. We wish we could have gotten to explore more, but our dog got sick and we headed home early. Mike was really understanding and refunded us our unused night, which we were surprised by, because it was certainly not expected/necessary by our point of view.
Again, wish we could have fulfilled our stay and enjoyed another day, but hopefully we will be able to stop by again.

This was my second trip to the cabin at The Edge; it will likely not be my last. This is one of my favorite places to visit! First, a few things to consider: The entire property has no electric or potable water. The ceiling lights inside the cabin are VERY dim, so bring good supplemental light. The exterior light over the door is also VERY low light. The lovely hanging garden lights around the parameter of the site are lovely but dim solar lights. Second, bring something to use for curtains. There are four windows in total; I use a cut up light weight canvas painter's cloth cut into quarters and they work really well! I tie them back during the daytime for added light. Third, this cabin in RUSTIC, in that there are well-used (not fresh) sheets on the beds and is quite dusty. I bring my own fitted sheet and blankets/pillows. Some folks might like to use a sleeping bag instead. Fourth - there was recent rain and lots of mud; one family using a tent site got stuck - they were driving a van rig and pulling a car - ultimately, they had to call a pro towing service and it ate up a couple of hours of their day and a few hundred $. I imagine this can be remedied by contacting the owner first to hear about conditions. This is a beautiful little area that I cherish. There is airplane and car noise, but I was easily able to block it out and enjoy the birds. On the edge of a wooded area and up-close-and-personal to acres of corn and soybean fields. I can hardly wait to return.

We had a great time with our hound dog and 1.5 year old. Lovely spot with an amazingly clean and unsmelly composting bathroom. Need 4wd or they can shuttle you and your stuff down with their ATV

I loved staying on Mike & Joan’s property! The site that I was booked to stay at was a little flooded from recent storms and so they upgraded me to a different site for free which was so lovely of them! Would definitely recommend staying here to others :)

Weekend Trip to Gossman Goat Ranch
Such a great getaway! The location felt private and the pictures don't do it justice. It is a well kept cabin that has just enough to be comfortable while still having the camping vibe. We were close to many cities and multiple attractions. Definitely recommend biking the trails or going on a cave tour.

Yet another fantastic stay at Rock Bottom! Mike and Joan are incredibly accommodating and quick to respond. The cabin is solidly built, cozy, and offers all the comfort you could ask for, while still feeling like you are camping. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

2 nights at Gilles Family Dairy & Woodland
I stayed in the wooden tent for 2 nights and had a great experience. The hosts are friendly and very accommodating. They have thought of items that you might have forgot and provide them for your use. The site was very private, the outhouse was well maintained and the area is wonderful for exploring! I hope to come back next year.

Beautiful cabin tucked at the bottom of a huge hill. Laying in bed morning and night listening to wild life its like being in a tent with the luxury of being in a bed.
Loved having so much space for my dogs to run around on my camp site. It was awesome that they have so many trails to walk and allow the dogs to ve off leash as long as they're behaved. Bring your bug repellent, the best of the best, and bring extreme cause the flies, mosquitoes, and gnats are absolutely crazy down there.
