I took my grandsons aged 12 and 9 in my travel trailer. There is a wonderful dock, benches, deck chairs, and a fire pit. The beautiful pond and biting fish kept the boys happy along with building a fire. There is a shed which we visited in the evening for a shower and to watch tv. The most perfect views. I hope to make it back someday. Hosts are lovely people with beautiful children.

Super friendly owners and a beautiful farm with plenty of amenities and so many fun things to do! Swimming in the pond was great, the creek had so many cool fossils and we woke up to a ton of cows on the hillside which was so much fun for my son. Jock was such a sweet dog and my dog loved him a lot! Highly recommending staying here.

My daughter, dogs, and I stayed in our tent by the pond. It was quiet and secluded but we were also just a few minutes drive from groceries and anything else we might have needed. The mowed paths were great, they gave us a map of all the paths on the property. My daughter loved playing in the pond and watching the fish. We ran to town and bought floatie chairs to add to the fun. In the morning there was a family of geese with five babies that floated around on the pond while we packed up. I felt safe and had a relaxing time. Hosts are very kind and helpful.
