Stargazer tiny cabin at the Guinea Farm was perfect for me and my pup. Ian was the perfect host and made us feel so welcome. Meeting the chickens and guineas was a lot of fun and the beach nearby was breathtaking. We explored the area, had a few campfires, and relaxed. Even the rainstorm was amazing while inside Stargazer!!! The cabin was super cool. We will be returning! Just a quick note that did not detract from the experience at all - we did encounter some hunting dogs loose at the beach hunting a deer. Its obviously hunting season and off the location, just good to note. We loved our trip here and valued meeting Ian and learning about his much loved birds, clearly living in paradise. Definitely worth a visit! The cabin itself was extremely clean and well stocked. The property was fun to explore, even has corn hole and axe throwing!

1 night at The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest
I’m a returning camper. Last time I went to Trilogy. Love this whole property. 2WD accessible. I was greeted by the host Ian who promptly brought me a huge pile of firewood. Campsite has a nice picnic table and nice fire ring with swivel cooking grate.
The treehouse features a deck with a tent for anyone who needs it. The treehouse also has a griddle and grill running off a propane tank.
Inside the treehouse has bar stools and a bar top dining area. It also has L-shaped benches on the back wall and a foldable table. There is a projector with Roku stick for streaming off of their WiFi. Also for fun there is a Nintendo 64 with 3 games including Mario Kart 64. All electrical components run off a battery powered by solar. There are USB-A ports in various area for your convenience. Additionally there are cots and camping chairs provided.
I had a great time and felt very safe on the site. I really got to relive some childhood memories sleeping in a treehouse and playing video games. I highly recommend.
If sleeping in the provided tent isn’t your thing or you have brought your own, there are countless areas surrounding the treehouse and an adjacent field with ample room 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Weekend Trip to The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest
We had a wonderful stay at the Stargazer tiny cabin. It was incredibly cozy, warm and clean. The cabin had every amenity we needed, and Ian provided clear instructions for everything. He responded to all of our requests quickly and kindly, which made our stay even better.
One of the highlights was looking up at the stars at night. It was absolutely fantastic! Aaron’s Beach and Haven Beach were only 3–5 minutes away, and we had the best time there with our dog.
This was truly one of our best stays, and I strongly recommend Ian’s place. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads
We visited the Strawberry Crossroads in early Nov to enjoy the fall foliage. We rented one of the small wooden cabins, which had 6 individual bunks with mats, a small fridge, a small table, a trash can, ceiling light and fan, and a cooler/heater. The land was beautiful with a lovely creek and a cute wooden bridge that crosses over it. We enjoyed the goats and chickens, and just the overall beautiful nature. The hosts were very responsive, kind, and relaxed. We had a great time and will recommend to friends/family.

We had an amazing camping trip! Ian was very responsive and welcoming, and his hospitality really made our stay enjoyable. We loved the fresh eggs from his chickens for breakfast. There was plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and comfortable getaway!

Went camping as a group and couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Ian was absolutely amazing to meet. He let us explore the property, meet all his different birds (even got to see one in the cutest little hat), and gave us eggs for breakfast! The property is beautiful, with wonderful beaches nearby, and beautiful views of the night sky. We were even lucky enough to watch shooting stars while there. Couldn’t recommend Ian or this property enough. We will definitely be returning and camping at the other sites he offers!

Very magical place! We stayed at the Wisteria Treehouse and it was super easy to get to, awesome meeting the guineas, short walk to beach, and a super gracious and helpful host. We’ll definitely be back!

This is our second time at Ian's hipcamp and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The stargazer cabin was lovely and definitely a nice glamping experience. We didn't have to bring anything with us other than toys for the kids and food to feed ourselves. We brought my 60+ MIL and she loved that there was a composting toilet 😅 Being around the birds was so fun and we went to the little Haven Beach nearby and had a wonderful time- it was a perfect beach for young kids with lots of shells, fun rocks, and calm waters.

Ian was very kind and helpful! My sister and I brought our brood of younger kids (age 3-13) and they loved it as much as we did and I'm positive our older ones would have. There's quite a few chickens with fun back stories. My oldest daughter wanted to steal Zed the zombie chicken. There was very little light pollution so we were able to lay out on our sleeping backs in an open field and watch a meteor shower, my kids and I actually fell asleep out there because it is so peaceful. We stayed at the treehouse, so cool! It slept 8 comfortably. Ian showed me the heated cabin in case we wanted to visit later this season, we probably will. There was a griddle and fire pit, we used both for cooking. The small town less than a 10 minute drive has every forgotten item one could need. Ian's is a wonderful place to be! Guinea zoomies are about as cute as a dogs. He also had two very sweet dogs.

He has a something for every type of camper. We stayed in the treehouse and it was delightful. We also got to meet the chicken/turkeys/guinea fowl, and my kids had a blast.

1 night at The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest
Wonderful spot! Beautiful area and the variety of Ian's birds added a whole other level to the experience. Spent less than 20hrs there but between visiting the secluded Adams Beach at sunset, making a campfire outside the treehouse, and laying out in the field under the stars made it feel like several totally unique and great experiences. We hit up the other slightly more developed (though still very secluded) beach on the way out which was a perfect finishing touch.
Ian is awesome and a great host and communicator. It'd be fun to have a few more people out next time we stay.

Let me first start by giving the due credit to the host directly. Ian was incredible. He stayed in touch throughout the duration of the trip. Making sure we knew about all available amenities and ensuring we got the absolute most out of our stay. Communication was certainly a 10 out of 10. Not to mention he was just a super cool dude, he let me know our group could come see his various birds (which was a tremendous hit with the kids, and the adults for that matter) I stayed at camp with our dogs but the rest of my group met him personally and had nothing but good things to say about him. He really did set the expectation for what the best host possible could be.
Now onto the campsite itself. The Wisteria Treehouse was incredible. It was just the coolest how it looks and is set up. From the creature comforts inside it- a charging station, n64(as a 90's kid i saw it and thought, HOW COOL IS THAT. he even has Mario cart for it), projector, seating, a cool bar style seating arrangement to look out, to the lights strewn around the tree house. It was beautiful during the day, gorgeous at night. The bell tent very comfortably fit my family of 4 and two dogs. The layout of the site was perfect. Plenty of room for our groups kids to run and safely play. The little field next to the tree house made for the creation of some amazing core memories when night fell and the moon lit everything up for our group. There's so much more and it's a 100% guarantee we'll be back.

2 nights at Little Rustic Cabin Near Onancock
Mona's cabin was everything we hoped it would be - and more! The land is gorgeous and the cabin was even more inviting than the photos. Mona was very pleasant and responsive. We wish we booked longer and will absolutely be back!

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads
Camp site was easily accessible. Staff was accommodating for my late night arrival and helped get me into the cabin after a long day.
There was a nice stack of firewood outside of the cabin. I didn’t use it because of wet weather and limited time at the site, but it was a welcome surprise.
Inside has 6 bunks. I doubled up on mattresses since I was solo. Inside has a small refrigerator and remote controlled air conditioner, both worked well and AC helped ensure a solid nigts’s sleep. Inside flooring is carpeted and also has a small table and chair.
Communication was timely and efficient.
Bathhouse is about a 5 minute walk. Showers were clean, well maintained and had nice hot water. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quick accessible cabin near Ocean City.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads
Second year in a row staying here. Cabin was clean and had just what we needed to be comfortable for the weekend. Bathrooms had nice showers. The goats did sleep on our front porch and stalked us all morning Saturday, so that was an unexpected fun touch! Would definitely come back, and most likely will!
