GeerCrest Farm

25 ft travel trailer

2 nights at GeerCrest Farm

What a delightful place! Peaceful, scenic and surrounded by personal family history dating back to 1850. Jim is a wonderful host. Thankfully his great great great grandfather established the farm ten minutes from the Oregon Garden, 30 minutes from Silver Falls and only 8 minutes from the Willamette Valley Pie Company!

Shared kitchen space on-site

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

We loved our stay in the yurt! Every was considered when Karin put it together: like one of the best stocked vacation kitchens I've used😌 Just lovely! Couldn't recommend more! Molly the camp host dog was also so sweet.

Weekend Trip to Waterfall Sanctuary

Our trip to Waterfall Sanctuary for a two-night camping getaway was absolutely relaxing and refreshing. We were immersed in nature at our campsite and enjoyed the diversity of the native plants around us, a hundred different bird songs coming from the trees and even spotted a few visitors at our campsite (a squirrel and a very inquisitive hummingbird!) Just a short walk away, we were spoiled with the luxury of a roomy sauna, coffee bar and bathroom and shower facilities. It was really the best of both worlds! Tyla was so kind and hospitable. She even helped us out by jumping our car when we accidentally let the battery die. We really enjoyed visiting with her and her various animals. Overall, an absolutely wonderful time. We can’t wait to go back again!

Campsite#1 is now Much Larger!! Can accommodate 3-4 tents. Has a hammock, picnic bench and deep fire pit. It's nestled between two Bald Eagles nests. Short walk from parking area and closest to the big creek!

Weekend Trip to Nature Camp, Cabin and Farm

This campsite had everything we were looking for--privacy, quiet, and beauty. Our kids loved visiting the farm animals and skipping rocks in the river. We had plenty of space in our site with a sturdy picnic table that was close to very clean restrooms. We really enjoyed the sound of water nearby all weekend, and occasionally the bald eagles nesting overhead. The host was very friendly and helpful, and provided everything we needed. No complaints at all!

GeerCrest Farm

Weekend Trip to GeerCrest Farm

The farm is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The cabin has everything needed for comfort and the host was very friendly and accommodating.

Our mushroom tent on the Heritage site

2 nights at GeerCrest Farm

Perfect spot for a family camp out. Our 2 year old loved the swing, sheep, doggy, and barn cat. Our 12 and 14 year old enjoyed the firepit and the farm setting. My husband loved clipping fresh herbs for breakfast from the food forest. Silver Falls is a short drive away.

The "Farmer-For-A-Day" Program

1 night at The "Farmer-For-A-Day" Program

We absolutely loved the Barn Apartment! It was beautiful and stocked for a rustic but comfortable stay. It was magical waking up to the sounds of the horses and donkey below us and honking geese beside us. We were kept company by Squire, the sweetest barn cat ever. We purchased the Morning Chores package which was delightful and educational - a great experience for anyone wanting more interaction with all the animals. Stephanie and Wayne were helpful in getting these scheduled and getting us checked in, Karissa was a great instructor or our "morning chores." Highly recommend!!

GeerCrest Farm

Weekend Trip to GeerCrest Farm

GeerCrest Farm is a peaceful place to be and explore. We enjoyed the stay with our 3 year-old, who loved the ducks and sheep and exploring around. He wished we were staying another night, and I do to! We highly recommend it. Jim was helpful, communicative and kind. The cabins are what we expected and as the listing shows. The fire kept us very cozy in the April chill. Would definitely recommend! Close to so many fun things to see.

Batwater Station on Columbia River

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Yurt was great, warm and comfortable. This is our 5th trip to the property and as always we enjoyed everything about this peacful retreat. From Karin and her husband to their sweet dog Molly. Enjoyed all of the birds including Osprey nesting right in front of the yurt. Simply watching the river go by and reading to the sounds of nature.

Awesome cabin, lots of space and comfy beds! Beautiful spot on on a wooded hill.

GeerCrest Farm

Weekend Trip to GeerCrest Farm

We loved Alder meadow! This time of year the flowers are absolutely beautiful. We loved using the picnic table and firepit with our kids as well. Truly a beautiful spot.

GeerCrest Farm

Weekend Trip to GeerCrest Farm

Would highly recommend staying here. The location is perfect as well for visiting Silver Falls State Park (~20m) with the cozy town of Silverton being close by (8 min). Jim greeted us and was great to hear the amazing history around the farm. There are plaques around the property explaining some of the history and the land is so peaceful. A creek is near the Adler Meadow and when we were there all of the flowers were starting to bloom. The Alder Meadow faces west as well for a perfect sunset view with extra warmth in the evening. We'll be back!

Roam the pasture with the sheep!

Weekend Trip to GeerCrest Farm

Just book it! This historic farm has all the charm of a storybook with a rich history(there are information plaques all around the garden, orchard and cabins, so make sure to walk around). The cabins are well stocked with everything from ample outlets to extra bedding to kindling for your woodburning stove. Jim was such a warm and excellent host. While we didn't end up needing anything I'm sure he would have been more than accommodating 😁 Silverfalls is only 20ish mins away and an epic adventure. There's also a small town just a few mins away from the farm, so if you need anything you can just pop into town. I hope you stay here so you can experience the peace and beauty yourself

Riverfront Glamping & Camping

2 nights at Riverfront Glamping & Camping

We had a great stay! Our family really enjoyed spending time by the river and exploring the property. I look forward to visiting again in Fall or Summer.

Favorite Creek Campground

Weekend Trip to Favorite Creek Campground

The pictures didn't do this place justice! We had an incredible weekend staying in the lodge. It was so well-insulated that the small heater did its job well. I love that all the campsites had a firepit, table, and were near water. You can hear the creek flowing from the whole property. Tyler was a great communicater, too. Plan to be back!

Batwater Station on Columbia River

3 nights at Batwater Station on Columbia River

The was a great place to come even for a rainy March getaway. It would be fantastic in nicer weather when one could have fun playing on or in the river. We saw all kinds of critters, including many, many birds. The host was super, very helpful and kind. The common area was well stocked with the things we forgot to bring. We will be back!

Batwater Station on Columbia River

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Another spontaneous trip to be next to a body of water, this time is the Columbia river. Just wow! Such an amazing property Karin has, she is very responsive, friendly and overall a star host. Thanks so much for letting us immerse in nature in your beautifully maintained paradise. We’ve had a lot of animal sounds, from different birds singing, frogs chatting to howling coyotes or (maybe wolves) we dont know. We loved the outhouse with complete kitchen facilities, toilet and bathroom, that is heated! Campsites and other forms of accommodation (yurt, cabin & boathouse) were distant from each other and we felt our spot was private even though it’s in the roadway. We really loved our stay here, with the amazing sounds of nature, serenity and the views were truly outstanding! We’d love to come back.

“Flederhaus” the 12’x12’ sleeping quarters is on the Columbia River and has easy access.

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

The location is exceptional. The amenities and kind attention by hosts wonderful - without being intrusive. Great place to rest.

GeerCrest Farm

1 night at GeerCrest Farm

What a delightful find! Not only is the accommodation warm, clean and inviting, the property itself is a historical monument of Silverton, remaining in the care of it's original family for over 100 years! Jim was a gracious host who was very attentive to ensuring I had everything I needed, and kindly took me around the property to share some of its history and beauty. Highly recommend! Plan to arrive early or stick around if you can.

GeerCrest Farm was settled by the Geer family in 1848, and is still owned and stewarded by the family. The house Ralph and Mary Geer built in 1851 stands and is one of the oldest in Oregon to remain in the same family. The farm features creeks, forests, pastures, orchards and gardens as well as the historic buildings. Currently we have four friendly sheep and a small flock of Mallard ducks to keep us company. The Pioneer Memorial Orchard features over 50 vairieties of pre 1850 apple trees. The Heritage Grove has ten fruit and nut trees that were recognizeds as a memorial the the early pioneers of the nursery trade by Oregon Heritage Tree program. The 20 acre property, offers three tent camp sites Including the Tree House site, as well as two forest cabins and a small forest bunkhouse (sleeps 6). Our peaceful, small farm offers a reflective immersion in nature and history among the occasional quacking of ducks and baaas of sheep. The scenery from all corners of the farm is incredible - a favorite is the westward view of the valley pasture at sunset -- called "Homer's View" after famous political cartoonist and Geer descendant, Homer Davenport. No matter which camping site you choose, the sounds of the creek, pond frogs, or conversing owls are sure to lull you to sleep. Feel free to roam the farm, but always leave gates as you find them, open or closed. Please say hello to our sheep and barn cats (they may say hello first). Explore the Heritage Grove of historic trees, the Memorial apple orchard and pear glade with varieties circa 1840s, indulge your senses in our medicinal herb garden, and chat with our farm family while they water the veggie gardens, if you so wish! Your experience will certainly be unique to the season. Your host Jim Toler represents the fifth generation of the farm and will happily share stories of the farm and it's history. GeerCrest Farm is truly an off-the-beaten-path gem.
