Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

Awesome place to visit. Rick is an amazing host. Property is perfect for camping, hiking and fishing. Hidden gem!! Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL

We loved staying at Troy's shelter (almost a cabin)! At a one hour drive from Cleveland, the shelter was well furnished with chairs, firewood, a blackstone (for rent), and sleeping platforms which made for an easy to set up weekend retreat. Troy and his family were so sweet and showed us their chickens, turkeys, and goats! We joked we need a monthly membership for a regular retreat! 10/10 recommend!

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL

I loved everything about this stay. The cabin was very roomy with the addition of sliding barn doors which were my favorite part besides the wood burning stove. The property has a nicely maintained yard that my dog really enjoyed playing in. There were tractors working in the fields on the left and right of the property so at times it could be a bit noisy. The bathroom was very spacious and clean as well. There are lights inside and outside of the barn powered by solar so it was nice not to have to use a flashlight or lantern after dark. Friendly host as well, stopped by when I arrived to show me around and she ensured I was taken care of during my stay. Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Heartland Homestead

Another successful trip at Mother Oak – we highly recommend it!

7 nights at Heartland Homestead

I liked camping at Mother Oak Campsite at Heartland Homestead. My hosts were very generous, giving me extra sleeping bags when I needed them to stay warm. When the torrential downpour of rain collapsed my tent, they let me sleep in the barn and gave me use of the cabin for the day after I paid an extra $25 to nap in it, until I found a longer term option to live in on Airbnb. I was camping to give myself more time to find an Airbnb host willing to host me. I successfully completed my mission. Watch out for ticks. They are everywhere. They have a cute and friendly barn cat named Moonbeam that became my best friend. I spent lots of time cuddling with her. She likes to make biscuits a lot though, and her claws are very sharp. I sang songs to the goats and the cows who came over to me to listen to me singing The Sound of Music, The Happy Wanderer, and Sing A Song by The Carpenters. The goats came up to the fence to be petted and eat dandelions and to lick me. The chickens mostly made a lot of noise and ran around but they were pretty to look at. I was really sad to know they were all going to be eaten (except Moonbeam) because I am a vegan and I want them all to live to old age on a farm animal sanctuary. It breaks my heart they are all going to die soon. But they are living really good lives right now, with plenty of room to roam, and are very well cared for by the entire family. I just wish they got to live them all the way until their natural deaths from old age.

Weekend Trip to Goat Farm Hide-Away CVNP

Goats! Goats are amazing! What a fantastic way to start your day! Site very peaceful and tranquil with plenty of pitch options. Portolet was spotless!

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL

This property and the structures that Troy and his family have built are amazing. So quiet and pristine, it was just the change of scenery that my friends and I needed. It’s only a short drive to a little town, but you may not ever want to leave this piece of land. Thanks for having us! ❤️

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL

I would highly recommend Troy’s cabin for an extremely pleasant “get away from it all” great camping experience!!! The cabin is spacious, very very clean, cozy and it has such a special ambiance with the soft lighting and the wood burning fireplace! We brought our own portable mattresses which fit perfect on the beds and even though it rained almost the whole day we were able to stay nice and dry and warm and with the sliding doors open we could see all of the beautiful countryside around us. Also loved how we were welcomed by Troy who had even started our first fire for us! It was nice to have the gas grill right outside and we made some great meals and enjoyed them sitting at the picnic table and the great wooden countertop with the high bar stools. We had lots of privacy all around us and yet it was nice being close to Andover for a quick grocery run or a bite to eat in town. Looking forward to our next stay there! Definitely recommend Cherryhill Chill!!! Thank you Troy for your hospitality!

2 nights at Sweet Hill

Great spot, beautiful pond and very responsive hosts! Would recommend

1 night at Camping in Wine Country

Nice site, a wide green lawn next to their parking lot. Was visible to the road but had no problem. Tom and Cindy (I think it was Cindy, apologies if I got that wrong) were nice, had to knock on their service door cuz this is off season for the winery. Would go back again.

2 nights at Camping at Heritage Farms

Peaceful place, the owners go above and beyond! I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Hemlock & Hobbit Forest

A perfect cozy spot for those spending time in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It was 10-15 minutes away from the trailheads we wanted to visit and from downtown Penisula. The bed was comfortable, and the whole cabin was welcoming and beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Heritage Farms

Always a great time with wonderful views and clean sites.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Heritage Farms

Everyone was very friendly and they moved us over to a shelter because one was open!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Hill

Jason’s spot was a wonderful stay! We stayed one night passing through and it was easy to find. It was a quiet, peaceful spot, but still close to town for things we needed to grab the next morning!

Weekend Trip to Camping at Heritage Farms

Beautiful views tucked away on the tree farm. Quiet and convenient, had a great stay with the dog. Hosts were super kind and even helped out when my lighter ran out of fuel. Carts were sipper convenient for lugging gear back to the deeper spots on the land. Would happily stay again.

3 nights at Camping at Heritage Farms

Great space with great people! Appreciate everything they did to make it a memorable weekend for us.

Weekend Trip to Camping at Heritage Farms

Such an amazing piece of land and super close to cuyahoga valley! The campsite was absolutely perfect for a great getaway weekend. The sites are far enough away from each other that there really was no disruption. I've gone here for pumpkin picking before and the people have always been so nice and welcoming. I cannot recommend heritage farms enough! We are already looking for another weekend to spend there

Weekend Trip to Barrel Run Creek

Booked a night here pretty spur of the moment and it’s not really camping season yet so I was surprised to see firewood stocked. We had a kid with us that was new to camping so this was a great first trip for him. The kids explored and the parents relaxed. This is close to my office so I’ll be adding it to my favorite.

Camping at Heritage Farms

47 sites · Lodging, Tents115 acres · Peninsula, OH

At Heritage Farms, we’re currently a 5th-generation, family-owned and -operated Christmas tree farm headed by my husband, George, and me, Carol. Originally founded in 1848 by my great uncle Lawson Waterman, it was my father who shifted our primary focus to cultivating Christmas trees in 1955. George and I took the reins in 1979 and have been happily continuing the tradition of growing trees while also expanding into other areas, including celebrating Halloween with our month-long Pumpkin Pandemonium in October. We’ve also taken to hosting the Peninsula Flea during the summer months, catering to a wide variety of artisan- and craftsman-centric clientele. As for camping, we began eight years ago following a trip George and I took to Denmark, wherein we stayed in a number of outdoor shelters that would later inspire us to construct the first of our several Adirondack-style shelters. We’ve since expanded to offering six shelters total, three of which share the same Adirondack aesthetic of our original build, and three of which take inspiration from an open-air A-frame design. Along with those shelters, we’ve mapped out nine primitive tent sites, all of which are available for rent, spring through fall—we hope to see you here! Heritage Farms is a 5th-generation, 115-acre farm located in the heart of the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and as such we are incredibly close to the various trails located across the Cuyahoga Valley. We are a working tree farm, and while we do ask for your care while residing among our fields, we also encourage you to take advantage of the beauty and serenity that our property has to offer! WHAT WE OFFER From April 1st to October 26th, 2024, we have 15 campsites available* for rental, including nine outdoor tent sites, three A-frame sites, two standard Adirondack shelter sites, and one “Glamping” site. Each site comes standard with a fire ring, a grilling grate, a picnic table, and a storage rack for firewood and kindling drop-offs. All shelter sites include closure devices for privacy and protection. Our Glamping site (numbered as Campsite 3) features an upgraded Adirondack shelter that includes a complimentary mattress, screen door and fasteners, exterior curtain, lean-to awning, and full propane grill and tool set. Also included is a furnished campfire ring featuring rustic bench seating and chairs. It’s a perfect site for large groups! Included for use by all campers is our Games Field, located by our lower gravel lot, adjacent to campsites A and B. This field holds a cornhole area, a horseshoes pitch, and a tetherball court, all with playing pieces available. We also have our Lending Wagon, stocked with board games, books, puzzles, and miscellaneous gear campers may need—we do request that all items borrowed from the Lending Wagon be returned before departing Heritage Farms. Other amenities include an information booth where carts, charging stations, and assistance from an on-site attendant can be found. *During October, several of our campsites (A-F, and 6) are closed in lieu of our Pumpkin Pandemonium. As a result, our reservations are limited during this month. SOME THINGS TO KNOW 1. We have capacity limits at our sites. Tent sites, labelled A-J, can hold three (3) tents.

The cabins do not have electric or water. A porta-potty is located near the barn (a 5 minute walk) and a lug-able loo or portapotty will be available closer to the cabins depending on when you stay. We are happy to help get your gear back to the cabins with the farm cart and then it is an 8-minute walk along a hay pasture to the parking area.

With ample shade, a fire pit, and nearby portapotty, you can relax under the stars into the night. Hiking trails weave through the back of the property and you are welcome to explore those as well. Because we are a working homestead and farm, a few things are true: -Sometimes there’s mud.

We are happy to arrange opportunities to interact with the animals. Just ask! -Not always, but at times, our neighbors will start farming early in the morning and you can hear their machinery.

Conveniently located 1 mile from Oberlin College, 6 minutes from the turnpike (I-80), and 35 minutes from Cleveland, Heartland Homestead is like stepping away from the hustle of everyday life and into nature. Rural enough to feel like you've gotten away from suburbia but close enough for DoorDash, last-minute store runs, + all the yummy restaurants in Oberlin, we hope you enjoy stepping into our modern homestead as much as we enjoy hosting you!

Bass and Buck Tent Adventures

8 sites · Tents230 acres · OH

With over 230 acres, a lake, trails, the Grand River, and plenty of wildlife. Bass and Buck Adventures is the perfect place to get away. Once known as Parkman Gorge the valley was a hub for water powered industry in the early 1800's. The river and valley is home to a wide array of wildlife. Deer, turkey, eagles, hawks, owls, mink, river otters to name a few. The area also attracts many song birds including a wide variety of warblers. There is also an abundance of wild flowers. The valley is rich in Native American history. Many artifacts have been found on the property. My great grandfather talked about the last Native American to live in Parkman had a cabin on one of the bluffs along the river. In the 1820's there was a water powered sawmill and forge on the river. The boy scouts used the valley for a camp in the 1930's. My grandpa purchased this property in the 50's from Ohio Edison. Ohio Edison's plan to dam up the river for hydro power never materialized. The valley has been a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, "jeeping". Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill.

Hickory Shores Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents180 acres · Rome, OH

In 1955 when my family bought our 180-acre farm, there were Shagbark Hickory trees lining both shores of a rock-filled stream. Years later a 550-acre lake was created from damming our stream and Hickory shores became the wildlife- filled headwaters. Bald Eagles, fox, river otters, ospreys, beaver, and deer are frequent visitors to our farm along with other water birds and wildlife. Recreational opportunities are plentiful including fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking. The 50 mile Western Reserve Greenway paved bike trail is 1 1/2 miles away on country roads and other adjoining roads create unlimited quiet country rides and walks. In 2023 we have added a 3/4 mile wooded trail along the shores of Rock Creek with lookouts and 27 numbered stops. These stops are described in our Hickory Shores interpretive guide available at the trailhead. Additional hiking trails continue upstream and connect two seasonal waterfalls on the property. Benches along the way provide quiet spots to rest or picnic. Spectacular sunsets, a quiet country paved road and Amish buggies await your visit. We are in Ashtabula County, home to 32 wineries and 19 covered bridges including the shortest and longest in the U.S. The second weekend in October brings the Covered Bridge Festival in nearby Jefferson, Ohio.

Camping, hiking, fishing, hunting. Many of the items used for the camp sites have been reclaimed. The fire rings are old tractor rims and scrap steel. The tent platform is from reclaimed deck lumber. The firewood is excess cutoffs purchased from a local sawmill. For more information log onto our website. bassandbuckadventures.com

Depending on the time of year + season, you may see our goats, cows, pigs, chickens, or more! We may have pick-your-own tomatoes, pumpkins, + flowers as well Glamping Cabins We have two glamping cabins that include beds and lanterns so you get the feel of sleeping in nature but comfortably. Each cabin has a picnic table, fire pit, and charcoal grill. One cabin has a queen-size bed and the second has a full-size bed and a trundle bed with 2 twin-size mattresses. The cabins do not have electric or water. A porta-potty is located near the barn (a 5 minute walk) and a lug-able loo or portapotty will be available closer to the cabins depending on when you stay. We are happy to help get your gear back to the cabins with the farm cart and then it is an 8-minute walk along a hay pasture to the parking area. Tent Camping Our tent camping spots are located under Mother Oak, a 100-year-old oak tree in the middle of our farm. With ample shade, a fire pit, and nearby portapotty, you can relax under the stars into the night. Hiking trails weave through the back of the property and you are welcome to explore those as well. Because we are a working homestead and farm, a few things are true: -Sometimes there’s mud. We suggest boots for walking around the property and in the woods. -Our farm animals are great - and may also bite. Please do not pet or chase them. We are happy to arrange opportunities to interact with the animals. Just ask! -Not always, but at times, our neighbors will start farming early in the morning and you can hear their machinery. All of our sites have privacy but are not truly remote. We want you to enjoy yourselves but please be mindful that our house is on the property as well as our neighbors. Music needs to be turned down to a low level by 11 PM. We can accommodate pop-up campers, camper vans, etc near Mother Oak as well. Please message with any questions before reserving. Additional fees would apply. We can also accommodate larger tent camping groups depending on the day. Additional fees would apply. The homestead is located near 58 so you can hear cars during the day and night. The cabins are about a ½ mile from the road so the noise is greatly reduced. We regularly host modern homesteading workshops, full moon yoga, and sound baths at the farm. If you would like to inquire about booking one of these as an add-on to your stay, please message us! Conveniently located 1 mile from Oberlin College, 6 minutes from the turnpike (I-80), and 35 minutes from Cleveland, Heartland Homestead is like stepping away from the hustle of everyday life and into nature.

Bending Oak Permaculture Farm

Bending Oak Farm is an educational farm on 25 formerly clear cut acres. We are committed to our mission creating a more sustainable world by showing people what is possible. Through classes, workshops, school tours, community programs and hands-on experiences, we look to demonstrate attainable practices to better the lives of all people. We invite you to come and experience how you can create a more sustainable life for you, your family, friends and your community. To ensure an environment that is family friendly and mitigate the risk of injury Bending Oak does not permit alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs at the farm. Guests who stay in one of our permaculture cabins are participating in a permaculture design process where the goal is to create a system of abundance. During your stay, you will be challenged to think differently about how you go about meeting your daily needs. By design, you will encounter limits to the typical expectations of your living space, which grants you the opportunity to think deeply about what really is important to you and join us in exploring effective possibilities in meeting these expectations. After all, necessity is the mother of invention. This is our first study of building a sustainable living environment. We started with a blank slate, a new system designed with the permaculture principles in mind and the intention of ultimately creating a living space with the creature comforts we have all grown accustomed to. Eventually we will be building the next round of accommodations (principal: Small & Slow Solutions). When staying in one of our cabins, you are participating in this process by sharing with us your experience (principal: Observe & Interact), letting us know what you have discovered you can and can not live without, and possible solutions to efficiently address those needs and wants (principal: Apply Self Regulation & Accept Feedback). We look forward to your stay with us and your participation in creating abundance in this living space!
