Beautiful space! I traveled with my mom and dog and we had a great time. The owners were out of town but their son was there and answered all questions for us! If you choose to stay down by the pond there are multiple options.

This was such a nice place to stay. If you want peace and quiet. Just enjoying the view of the field and the pine woods. Or look at the stars with a campfire burning. You need to go here. And Danny is the perfect host!

Weekend Trip to Family Farm Forever

We loved camping in the pasture near a serene pond sheltered by rows of pine trees. Woke up to birds chirping in the pine woods. Danny set us up with electrical and dumping service. As well as access to water. It was a drive in for a quick one night stay as we traveled back to WI but would be worth it for a longer stay. Danny was very friendly-when we come back we will bring him some squeaky cheese curds!
