Great host, accomodating to our needs and arrival after dark. Sit was easy to navigate and park with minimal light.
Noreen was incredibly sweet and super helpful for the next day forecast and best routes to navigate the next couple of days. Wonderful bread and eggs, perfect for a quick breakfast as we left at the crack of day for our RV service.
Also wonderful nice dogs, was my morning walk around entertainment before driving off.

We loved our experience at Doubting Thomas! Noreen was an excellent host, very welcoming and super engaging. We really enjoyed hearing about her work and the farm and got excellent recommendations for fun things to do during our visit to Fargo. The spot is beautiful, excellent star-gazing at night, and fun to see the chickens running around. We will definitely be back on our next trip up there!

Noreen was a WONDERFUL host! She welcomed us with a dozen eggs accompanied by her guardian dog, Max (who is super friendly as well!). She helped us get settled, had a clean Porto potty, educated some on her farming practices, and pointed us in a good direction to stretch our legs after the long drive. Definitely recommend!
