The property was very well maintained. We didn't even start a bonfire. There were more fireflies than I've ever seen in my life and they lit up the property. We were able to sit in our tent with the door open because there were almost no mosquitos or flies. A few beetles, sure, but no big bites due to the maintenance of the property. I loved that part. We had privacy, a beautiful property, no bugs, and a warm shower in the morning. It was really peaceful and nice.

I ABSOLUTELY loved visiting the Art Farm.
This was my very first hip camp experience and it couldn't have gone better!
Laura was extremely communicative from the very start. As soon as I booked my campsite she helped walk me through the hipcamp app. Her presence and loving nature continued throughout my stay.
When I arrived she gave me a full tour of the land and even offered to let me upgrade to the cabin if I'd like.
Her passion and love for the lush green land was palatable which made me feel very welcome and safe 😊
I was very sore from a long hike and even longer drive the 2 days before and as soon as I stepped foot on the property I felt revitalized.
The place was very well maintained and tent site even included an electrical outlet to heat water and charge my phone.
I got the best sleep of my month long journey so far there on the moss covered floor of a site I named the fairy forest which was a patch of untouched pine cedar and oak trees surrounding a cute little picnic table perfect for an enchanted tea party.
Everything was divine and felt so perfectly aligned. I must say I NEVER have I ever experienced a portable bathroom that smelled so good.
Way to set the bar on high for future hip camp hosts there Laura! 🙌
I pray my land will someday be the soul sanctuary fpr others that yours was for me.

My boyfriend and I travel a lot for both work and pleasure and this is definitely one of my favorite stays! This place was very peaceful. There is only dim lighting outdoors at night so the stars were amazing. Our host was very warm and welcoming as well.
The property is well kept but if you need to ask which port a potty to use, this may not be the right fit for you. You are more in nature than in the city.
Highly recommended!
