I had two grandkids along and they loved seeing the horses, chickens and the dog Marley. Victoria and Mary were so friendly and helpful. We had a great time in spite of the damp and cold weather. We explored local parks.

We’re new to hip camping and found it surprising to have such a different experience at the same price point during our extended road trip. We were thrilled to have a hot shower available in late November although it felt weird traipsing through the owners back yard to get to it, with a window to the house right in the shower (yes it was covered from the inside). Hooks for a towel or shower bag would have been nice. The outhouse was in the opposite direction and leaked out the front a bit. It was cold and rainy during our stay so overall not the best day for camping. Hosts were very friendly.

Mary and Victor's farm was very enjoyable. We had lots of room and privacy. Victor was very helpful and an excellent host. We unfortunately did not get to meet Mary, however she handled our reservation well and answered all our questions ahead of our visit. We would recommend staying there.
