Welcome to your premium, private orchard getaway! Experience the perfect blend of rustic homesteading and modern convenience in our beautiful, clean 2019 Jayco Jay Flight SLX.
Tucked away on two entirely private acres of fruit-bearing trees, this retreat offers the ultimate digital detox without forcing you to rough it. Unlike typical off-grid sites, we feature on-site power hookups and a provided wastewater tote tank, giving you a fully operational bathroom, bright lights, and hot running water throughout your entire stay!
🍎 The Property: Your Private Two-Acre Orchard
You have two spacious acres entirely to yourself to explore, unwind, and slow down. The camper sits in a beautiful, mature micro-orchard:
The Fruit Trees: Stroll past sweet apple, peach, and plum trees. Depending on the season of your stay, you can pluck fresh, juicy fruit right from the branches!
The Hardwoods: Two magnificent, mature black walnut trees frame the property, casting deep, refreshing shade and creating a peaceful canopy for afternoon birdwatching or reading.
🔌 Fully Functional Utilities: No "Roughing It" Required!
While you are surrounded by wide-open nature, you will enjoy all the comforts of home. Thanks to our dedicated utility setup, you have seamless access to:
Steaming Hot Water: Wash off the day's adventures with a hot shower right inside the camper, powered by a fast-recovery 6-gallon propane DSI water heater.
Private Bathroom: Enjoy total privacy with your own indoor shower, bathroom ventilation fan, and a marine-grade foot-flush toilet. No outhouses or shared facilities here!
Constant Power: Stay plugged in, keep your devices charged, run the kitchen appliances, and enjoy the indoor climate control with ease via our steady electrical hookups.
🛌 Flexible Sleeping Setup (Sleeps up to 5–6)
Whether you are planning a family vacation or a trip with friends, our smart layout maximizes every inch of space to keep everyone incredibly comfortable:
The Master Queen Bed: A dedicated, plush queen-sized bed area up front, perfect for a restful night's sleep after a day exploring the property.
Twin Bunk Beds: Tucked neatly in the back are two twin bunk beds. Built with Jayco's ultra-sturdy, structural plywood bases, these bunks are incredibly supportive (rated for up to 300 lbs each) and make a fun, cozy fort for kids or adults.
The Convertible Dinette: The booth-style kitchen table easily folds down into an additional bed in just a few quick steps! It utilizes the plush booth cushions as a mattress, creating the perfect extra sleeping nook.
☀️ Sunlit Interior & Premium Amenities
When you are ready to head inside, the 2019 Jay Flight SLX serves as a clean, bright, residential-style haven packed with exceptional manufacturer features:
Three Overhead Skylights: Flood the camper with warm, natural sunlight by day and offer a unique setup for romantic stargazing right from the comfort of the interior at night.
Rich Cabinetry & Flooring: Features gorgeous Chocolate Maple real wood cabinet doors for a warm, cozy cabin vibe, paired with premium DiamondFlor® vinyl flooring that is always swept clean for your arrival.
Stargazing Windows: Premium, deep-tinted G20 privacy windows shield you from the midday heat while offering panoramic, uninterrupted views of your private two acres.
Gourmet Glamping Kitchen: Fully equipped with a 2-burner range stove, high-rise kitchen faucet, deep sink, microwave, and a temperature-controlled refrigerator to store your local farm stand finds.
Total Climate Control: Stay perfectly cozy no matter the weather, using the integrated auto-ignition furnace for chilly nights or the wall-mounted A/C system for crisp summer days.
Entertainment At Your Fingertips: Unwind with a premium multimedia sound system featuring Bluetooth® wireless connectivity to play your favorite playlists, complete with pleated window shades for total privacy.
🌌 Your Private Outdoor Oasis
The experience maximizes your time under the stars with premium outdoor living amenities:
Ambient Evenings: Roll out the massive 12V power patio awning at the touch of a button. It features integrated outdoor LED light strips and marine-grade exterior speakers to create the perfect evening atmosphere.
Campfire Cookouts Made Easy: Utilize the built-in frame-mounted LP quick-connect port to easily hook up an outdoor grill right under the awning. We also have a portable charcoal grill inside the campers storage w/ charcoal and lighter fluid.
Rock-Solid Stability: Built on heavy-duty stabilizer jacks, the camper stays perfectly still and balanced so you feel secure from the moment you step inside.

Weekend Trip to The Art Farm
You know when all the signs seem to point in the right direction... I just felt connected to this place from the moment I saw it online. We had several changes to our trip, but Laura was very accommodating. My sisters and I arrived late in the day, after dinner, in fact, but Laura was quick to make sure we had fire wood and anything else we might need. We happened to arrive on the last day of an event, but the next day, all the other campers and RVs left and we had the entire farm to ourselves. We were able to explore and check out the other campsites, yurt, cabin and barns.... It was so peaceful. Turns out our trip was on the night of the Strawberry Moon, also known as "Sister's Moon", and that made it even more magical. And, one of my sister's actually knew Laura and the ladies, but had lost contact with them several years ago... talk about connections and magic... now they are reconnected. Chicken and Nugget and Cali-Cat were our front porch mates most of the time... of course we always had treats to share. But the best part was Laura and the ladies were just so darn pleasant, helpful and nonintrusive. If you're looking for a get-away that's just 15 minutes from everything, yet feels like you're totally remote/off grid, pack your swimsuit and your walking shoes and give The Art Camp a go... there's no way you'll be disappointed, it truly was a magical place to just stop and be....

The cozy cottage definitely lived up to its name! Host Laura thought of every detail to make this little cottage homey and comfortable. Laura is also a very welcoming host.
The cottage decor was adorable, and the bed was so comfortable that I slept well past my usual wake-up time! The cottage is set on Laura's farm property with rolling hills, big skies and room to breathe. Laura made her lovely property available for walking and exploring. It was so peaceful. As a city dweller one of my favorite things were all the stars overhead in the rural black sky. Magic!

My husband and I loved the cozy cottage on Laura's land! Everything was clean and we even had chocolates on our pillows! There were some stink bugs in the cottage, which is to be expected anywhere you go this time of the year. But we let Laura know and she took care of them right away. As others have said, the cottage is kind of close to the main house, but you don't really notice. I never even saw a light on in the house. The area was quiet and peaceful. The chickens joined us for dinner on our second night lol. There was another family/couple there on our first night, but we never heard them. There was also a group of guys there on our second day, they were having the time of their lives it sounded like, but they were quiet at night. We did use the hot tub a few times and it was great. Nice and clean. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor shower as the pilot light went out, but that didn't bother us. The outdoor toilet was easily the cleanest either of us have ever used! I usually freak out at the idea of one, but once I saw it, I had no problem. The property was very easy to find! Laura was amazing and responded very quick to any question or concern we had, through the whole process. We will definitely be back to either the cottage or the Yurt next time! Thanks for having us Laura!

The peace and beauty of this farm is so breathtaking. Looking out over the fields Under big oak trees… It’s a very special place. I came here to have some restoration and healing and I got that and so much more! And it’s not just the farm, Laura sat and talked with me at the picnic table and walked with me around the property as we discussed life’s issues.
The cozy cottage was lovely. The bed Was so comfortable and the sheets were really soft. And I loved the outdoor shower! Thank you Laura and Bianca for sharing your beautiful place and your kind hearts with me. I will be back again!
