Weekend Trip to Heavenly Grace Farm

Overall, the experience was delightful. I was able to pull my little camper right next to the pond and enjoy the serene view over the landscape. I enjoyed fishing in the pond and caught multiple nice size bass and a catfish, and relaxing. My son enjoyed riding his bike on the path around the pond, playing on the playset, and feeding the alpacas. Had a great time, the host was excellent, and would definitely visit again.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Grace Farm

We arrived Friday & had a fun time till we left Sunday. The property, the pond, & Ms. Erica were great. Ms. Erica even helped us out with some extra sleeping bags when the night time temps dropped lower than expected. From fishing in the pond to seeing all the animals, our grand-kids enjoyed & learned a lot on the farm setting. We’ll certainly add it to our “let’s go back” list!

Mrs. Erica was a great host. She made sure we had everything we needed and informed us of where everything was when we got there. We will definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Heavenly Grace Farm

The space was what I needed for the night. Nice and quiet place to pitch my tent. Cool animals around enhanced the space. My tent was pitched between a pond and a bunch of alpacas. A few restaurants not too far away. I did not take full advantage of the space since I was just passing through.
