Two Blocks Away Farm

We are a working farm located in central Ohio. The main house and barn were built in the 1890s. We moved to this lovely homestead two years ago and began our journey to sustainability. Our animals are all pastured, heritage-bred animals, from the pigs to our chickens! We love exploring our wooded 3.5 acres and discovering more and more with each trip just outside our back door!Learn more about this land:Pitch a tent along the wooded trails while nature surrounds you. Located on 6.5 acres of woods, meadows and pastures, the place allows you to do bird watching, exploring nature or simply observing the goings on at the farm. We are a working family farm raising chickens, pigs and goats all on pasture! Children giggle while playing with the dogs or jumping on the trampoline. Don't hesitate to explore the growing food forest, gardens or pastures.

The campsite Kali's kids picked out for us was perfect, tucked back into the woods right by a stream. Loved it.

Right when I brought my camera up to my face they got up and came towards the fence. I think they like the camera :)

My morning view. Can't get much better than that!

Kali's kids were so nice to show us all around the farm

Kensley warmed up a little to the pigs. They were really nice. They also snore, which I found hilarious.

Kickapoo Kamping

This location in Ohio is about a 10-minute walk to Dillon Dam, Reservoir and Lake! The road that was there was called Yelp Town Hollow Road. The road that this camp was on had to be raised when they put the dam in, they even had to move the one room school house! Black Hand Gorge preserve isn't far from the camp, lots of hiking and bicycle trails. Dillon State Park is 10-15 miles away with trails for horses, walking and biking. About 3,000 acres of State and Federal Land is right in our backyard!  Learn more about this land:Set your tent up in a wooded area or near a stream. Great star gazing and forest bathing. The area is in the Yelptown Hollow Valley, the road and one room school house Yelptown School are reminiscent of a bygone era. The old road bed is near camping and old school house has relocated to a site nearby. Come enjoy the laid back ambience of the area! Peaceful, solitude, nearby stream.

The pond is quite large and had a canoe, two kayaks and a paddleboard for us to use

The Lake at the Flying J Farm

The Flying J Farm is 250 beautiful rolling acres including 100 acres of forest, 6-acre lake small pond, three streams, and numerous fields for crops and pastures with cows, horses and chickens. The owner bought the farm in 1998 for his retirement from a faculty position at the Ohio State university. Two buildings, the farm house and old barn, are original dating back to 1831. These have been restored for current use. The mission of the farm is to restore health both in people though the products produced and in the land by farming in a sustainable way with no conventional chemicals, antibiotics, and use of GMO. We host many visitors including tours and events. An on farm market is available to visitors for purchase of our products including grass-fed beef, maple syrup, and fruits and vegetables.

The cabin was built using wood from the farm. It has off-grid electricity meaning it is powered by batteries charged by solar panels. There is not sufficient power for devices with a heating element such as coffee makers and hair dryers. You may charge cell phones. For any other use, please check with the owner.

kayaks, a canoe, paddle board and even a floating tent available to guests. 

Ruby was thinking about taking a canoe ride. 

Our cozy site was nestled right beside the lake. 

The campground is marked by this welcoming sign. 

Burke's Bend

Burke's Bend sits on a dead end road in Perry County, Ohio--where you can find a abundance of wildlife, a spring-fed Cory, rippling stream with a bathtub and trees all around.  Plenty of hiking, hunting, motocross or ATV  depending on season and bookings. There  is a log captain that is occupied by special guest and the owner. It is our dream to make a Bed & Breakfast someday. The area has a rich history and was previously occupied by a church. The Bethany Cemetery  is still visited by history buffs. It dates back to the 1800's and is nicely maintained . It adds to the adventure in the fall. I believe the land  was mined for coal at some point due to access when purchased. My mother's family were a part of the heritage  in this area. One of the reason's for the purchase. We built our retirement home here in the hopes of passing it along to our family. But now we would like to share the beauty of it with others. Hope you enjoy!Learn more about this land:Burke's Bend sits on a dead end road in Perry County, Ohio--where you can find a abundance of wildlife, a spring-fed Cory, rippling stream with a bathtub and trees all around.

I had fun practicing knife throwing while I was here!

McKee Farm - Treehouses and Camping

McKee Farm is rich in memories and rich in history. It has been in the family for over 150 years and we were told that it was one of  stopping points for the underground railroad. The 240 acre farm boasts a hidden cave, wide open fields, breathtaking forest land, and historic and rustic barns. 

Nestled at the edge of a wooded creek, Tullihas in the Trees treehouse boasts a beautiful sunset view with rolling hills. Tullihas combines comfort with the thrill of being immersed in nature. Built using recycled electric poles, Tullihas in the Trees has a deck perfect for hammocking, an interior dressed with windows so that guests can feel as if they are living amongst the trees, and two small lofts ideal for a restful night's sleep.

Oxley in the Woods is our newest treehouse cabin. Nestled in the woods with a view of the sunset, the lovely A Frame is filled with lovely woodwork, vintage parquet flooring, and private wooded views. The deck is huge! We've had guests set up a tent on the deck beside the treehouse for fun! Swings, and a slide make the Oxley a fun adventure. The double bed in the loft and the two stacked single beds are comfortable and cozy.

The McKee Farmhouse was built in the 1800s and is rich in memories. It's a rustic old house, with wood trim, hardwood floors, and plenty of imperfections that make it unique. You can sit on the porch and drink your coffee with a view of the barn and pastures, or cozy up in one of the house's four bedrooms and sleep in. The house is fully air conditioned and heated, has all the amenities of home, but takes you back to a simpler time. 

Our campsites are all set apart from one another in various locations on the 240 acre farm. Secluded and unique, each campsite has its own charm. We provide guests with a fire ring and a shovel, and some sites have a picnic table. 

Hiking trails are marked throughout the land. Guests can hike with views of horses, cows, wildlife, corn fields, large boulders, and rustic barns. The dirt roads provide great places to drive ATVs and four-wheelers. An Amish farm borders McKee Farm. Guests should know there is minimal cell service, however, this can offer a great opportunity to unplug. Tullihas in the Trees provides a perfect remote and rustic getaway for anyone.

In October and November, access to hiking is limited.

The McKee Farmhouse is nestled in the heart of a 230+ acre farm

Sandstone rock formations can be found throughout the 240 acre property and make for some cool views. 

The farmhouse has a large covered porch with wonderful views of the farm.

Beautiful and vast forests to hike and explore.
