They even hold classes on fossils!🦴

It gives me much satisfaction in working to clean up this land. I appreciate your support by staying here, and I look forward to the opportunity to offer memories that can be remembered with fondness. While staying here, you may use my bathroom in my house if you need. I recommend bringing all the things you would bring if you were camping in the woods far from society. However, I do have a tent for two, including mattress pads and sleeping bags you may use. Otherwise, this is a relatively primative site (for now 😉).

Wisteria is such a cute site. Our family of 5 was looking for somewhere to watch the Perseid meteor shower & the open field next to the cabin was perfect. Ian quickly fixed the shower when the water was running low, and being just down the road from the beach was nice. We’d definitely camp here again!

Incredible place to stay, rained everyday we were there and still managed to keep 2 young kids entertained. Ian was incredibly helpful, woke up with a flat my first day and he was willing to do whatever to help. Haven beach is the perfect spot only a couple minute drive away. Even with the treehouse, WiFi, and projector my kids favorite part was getting to see and hold Ian’s chickens. Grateful of my time here would love to come back.

Had a great time with my kids at the stargazer mini cabin. I used to be an avid tent camper before kids and this has a nice blend of being outdoors while still having your basic amenities. I only stayed one night but we were able to enjoy all the classics like hotdogs and s’mores over an open fire but then could go inside and watch a movie on the projector. Took a peak at the other sites as well and may try to come back this fall. Also the host was great, simple instructions and very responsive.

Haven beach was so close and the perfect family beach, especially for littles. The swings under the treehouse were a huge hit. When we go back we’ll add an extra rechargeable fan and folding table to the packing list. They’re provided, we just wanted one more of each. Looking forward to another trip sooner than later!
