The front of the cottage, absolutely stunning!!

1797 Farm

Located in the heart of Chester County, few locations offer so many things to see and do. Some of the loveliest creations of man or nature are nearby The cottage is on a 70 acre country estate (circa. 1797). See Longwood Gardins and many other world famous nearby places. Learn more about this land:Chester County was rated as the sixth most desirable County  to raise a family in the United States. Relax, there are no animals that want to eat you nor poisonous creatures to kill you. Bird watcher's heaven where John Audubon was inspired by rolling hills and friendly forests containing walking trails and babbling brooks. Moss, ferns, mushrooms, and a huge variety of tree species make their home here. The weather is temperate and mostly sunny and there are dozens of things to see made by man or nature, all within less than an hours drive. Many stores and locations of interest are within bicycle distance. History & Art abound and world famous Longwood Gardens is nearby. Notable industrialists  like Sun oil  , Ludens, Carnation, Dodge and Safeguard are just a few who made this their home. The farm cottage is surrounded by over 2000 acres containing walking paths and horse trails, and even an Indian chipping ground where flint arrow heads and other Indian implements were made.

The estate the cottage is on is absolutely gorgeous!

The sunroom is a beautiful place to relax right at the front of the house.

The little dining area is cozy and great for meals.

The living room has lots of seating room and room to relax and watch movies, play games, and have conversation.

The original lower level of the campsite, intended for 1 -2 campers.

Ironwood Trail & Private Campground

     It took seven years to carve this winding trail and two-level scenic  campsite into the wooded hill behind our home.  Now completed, I feel inspired to share their solitude and beauty with others who will appreciate it. From the top of a steep drive, a brief but precipitous hike leads you high up very quickly through a mature forest to some steps that lead the first of two camping locations leveled within clefts of rocks forming a pair of overlooks. A soft, level campsite awaits you there under a canopy of trees where you will find everything you'll need for a small-scale deep forest outing.

     The lower level either stands alone (1-2 persons) or serves as a base camp for the Northwest Expansion area (3-4 persons) a very short hike away.  (Please inquire about additional campers.) The expansion features a roomy 13 x 15ft groomed tenting surface, a stone fire ring with steel fire pit, and plenty of extra space to spread out.  It provides an additional layer of privacy and a (leaf-permitting) northwest view that usually includes a sunset.

     [Note: Reservations include use of both the lower level and the upper Northwest Expansion camping areas.  Keep in mind that the technical nature of the trail and terrain makes it unsuitable for most children under 10 years old.]

     Hundreds of feet away, there are a few homes residing below the camps, but you are high enough above the world below to enjoy a sense of separation from it.  Were these camping areas part of any state or commercial campground in Pennsylvania they would easily be among the best tenting sites in the state.  Even among Hipcamps we were awarded a top-ten rating in 2018 and 2019+ - and we've improved since then. People love it here.

      Guests will find a huge, well-stocked chest of supplies at the lower level to furnish virtually any extra thing(s) that may help you camp in comfort, from a Coleman cookstove and table, an air pump, a kettle, a 8x10 tarp, plates and cups and cutlery-there's even a Scrabble game and playing cards. You get the idea.  ** We ask our guests to arrive prepared with their own supplies and to use the supply box as a backup for items that may have been forgotten or to fill in for things they do not want to purchase for a single outing.** (Please do not depend solely on the camp supplies to meet ALL of your camping needs!)  We took items on most camping lists and tried to have them waiting in the box so you can visit without worrying about forgetting anything. 

      Firewood bundles can be purchased at any time during your stay. We try to keep an abundant supply in a woodpile at the trailhead that you purchase as needed via cash, Paypal or Venmo.  Wood can easily be gathered, there are even hatchets and hand saws in the supply box for cutting fallen branches down to size.  We also provide a two-person hammock, plastic Adirondack chairs, battery powered lanterns, citronella torches, etc.  Cell chargers and jugs of drinking water are available upon request.    

      The woods are teeming with resident species of woodpeckers, owls, warblers and more, and vultures and hawks and can almost always be seen riding thermals overhead. If you're lucky the turkeys will come to roost in the woods above the area as they often do. The best part is that no one else will know you are up there.  

     In addition to overnight stays, daytime and evening hours are available too for morning bird walks, lunch breaks, herbal retreats, sunset cookouts--whatever guests might imagine doing in the privacy of the outdoors. Tree climbing and treetop camping are welcome and encouraged for anyone looking for a good place to hang their gear and enjoy the view.  There are scores of great campsites waiting to be discovered up there for experienced and responsible climbers.

     Please check out our reviews for more relevant details and feedback from our guests.  We hope to see you here sometime soon!

Our Northeast Expansion (added June 2019). The roomy new 15 x 15ft tent area is now open for business! There is a second fire pit and more improvements are on their way. For now it's perfect for larger-sized tents.  Book for 3 or more to reserve both levels.

Our original tri-fold brochure (outside).

A panoramic view in November 2017 shows a 12 mile northwestern view. The shoulders of Fancy and Sand Hills are visible in the foreground while the tops of Monocacy and Gibraltar Hills are seen to the left.  Mt. Penn can be glimpsed on the furthest horizon.

A sneak peek of the lower level camping area, your first destination as you pick up the trail.

Look for the mailbox post with the red lantern etching and pull up a steep driveway.

Keep left at the top and park at the trailhead; it's marked by same lantern sign along with the first of many wood-burnt arrows (and reflector pins) to guide you up.

View of the drop box and lower trailhead from the guest parking spot.  Quickly fill in the sign-in sheet so we know you're up there, then follow the arrows or reflective pins if it's after dark. That’s all there is to it.

A look upward reveals that you are walking into a canopy of some enormous oak and poplar trees mixed with maples, beeches, ash and ironwoods.

4 acres in rural suburbia

We are nestled on 4 acres with gentle borders to suburbs with neighboring homes. We are campers and consider this spot to be very fair after staying at some overpriced places. Our home is from 1880 and was the general store and post office for Hynemansville PA. It will need work long after we are gone. George Washington's troops slept across the street.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent on almost 2 acres and have more privacy than in a crowded campground.  We are a mix of farms and new construction. 2 min to highway. Close to hiking,  biking, Appalacian Trail, lakes, streams, ponds. Soccer and baseball fields nearby.

FernRock Retreat

This land

had been a summer camp owned by 8 families, each having their own cabin and outhouse. 

We bought it in 2000 for use as a retreat space for people who need a get away of peace and quiet.

It's close to many towns and restaurants

and the turnpike, but surrounded by trees and a creek, it feels far away from anything demanding your attention. It's a place to relax and enjoy nature.

We offer a beautiful and sacred place in the woods of Bucks County, PA. The rustic cabin includes as much privacy as you desire, with

a full kitchen, small bathroom, two bedrooms, and a meditation loft. The property includes a labyrinth, prayer path, treehouse, multiple fire pits (firewood included), and a creek with a dock, bird blind, kayaks, paddle boards and a rowboat.

We are also offering discounts for stays longer than 3 nights.

If you'd like to take advantage of one of these, 15% off for a 4-6 night stay or 20% off for a stay longer than 6 nights,

please contact us, BEFORE BOOKING, and we can send you a code.

You know you are there when you reach the pink flamingos!
