Magical farm retreat!
Julie and Robert's Farm retreat is absolutely magical!! The whole set up is amazing and they provided everything we could possibly need. The bell tent is spacious and perfect for myself, my fiancé and our three pups! There is an private latrine, several seating areas, hammock, table and fire pit for cooking and enjoying the night. The campsite is nestled at the back of their property and overlooks a BEAUTIFUL valley! Their barn hosts a lively all flock of pretty birds, goats and a couple Llama/Alpacas. Couldn't have asked for a better spot to spend the weekend relaxing and being outside. The Dahinda General store has excellent coffee and baked goods - and if you're looking for more traditional fair, Galesburg is just twenty minutes down the road! I couldn't recommend this valley retreat more and hope to be back in the future.
