Get cozy in this rustic space. With a woodburning hot tub, this is a perfect spot to rest and recover after a day of hiking, canoeing, climbing. Kitchen, shower, composting toilet, deck, comfy linens and firepits bring you back to yourself! This tiny home is on 4 acres that is close to town but secluded by woods and nature. The house utilizes a composting toilet and greywater systems, emphasizing sustainability. We designed this as a place to unplug, so don't have WiFi, a microwave or a TV. The water is set to HOT, and we have it set there because the hot water heater is a travel trailer size, so it only puts out a small amount of hot water. Please don't burn your hands washing them! Also feel free to turn it down if you need to, it is right under the kitchen sink. We recommend expecting a quick shower or turning the water off and on to soak your hair if you need to wash it and then lathering up. If the house is smelling bad in the bathroom, that is not normal and we will come and fix it.

This place was amazing. I arrived late and the host was not available for a duration of time. We were able to find the site based on a previous review. The campsite has been my favorite so far from the app. I really can not wait to return.

We loved the space #24, beautiful view behind us and a good size. Staff were friendly and pool was nice. They provided pool floats and had a hot tub as well. There is a new dog park and they are working on a new walking/biking path. Bath house and laundry provided. There is a trolley stop on site.

In an effort to preserve this hidden gem... “you definitely don’t camp here, it’s horrible!” — JUST KIDDING! We loved our stay at Buehler Farms, it was such a fun oasis for family and puppy. Totally private, but close enough to town to grab essentials if needed. We loved fishing in the river, caught a ton of creek chub and even a rainbow trout! We’ll definitely be back. This place would even be great for a trip with another family, plenty of room for everyone. (Just bring a good mallet if you plan to stake your tent in the rocky areas). Thanks!!

The most beautiful private paradise!!! The creek runs 3 sides of the deck and the solar lights are a perfect touch. I couldn't keep my little Annie (fur baby) out of the creek. The Farm is a beautiful operation with lots of history.

It is beautiful property with a cold ,clear water creek to swim in nestled back in the woods a bit and all on a rock bar . Nice big deck to set up a tent or your dining. Hanging solar lights to keep things well lit at night . This particular site is NOT private like the other site. There is an access road for the farmer and his farm hands also other campers looking for the other campsites . Great for family

Absolutely beautiful camp site. Camper was clean and comfortable. The hot tub was a fun addition and the area was very nice to hike. We saw some wildlife on the trail. Matt was easy to work with. Definitely would stay again.
