Permaculture "Earth Shelter" Cabin

Quiet, peaceful, and yummy!

Our stay was so lovely! The hosts were wonderful and helped us in so many ways. I had forgotten to pack a lighter so they lent me one. I highly recommend paying the extra 10 for produce from the garden! My daughter was absolutely smitten with the goats. Bill gave a little tour of the gardens and food forest and even lent us his shears so we could keep clipping mulberry branches to keep feeding the goats. He is a wealth of knowledge if you're at all interested in permaculture. It was so quiet and peaceful, exactly what my soul needed for a recharge! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Wild Plum Hedge Campsite

Not what expected

I got there and left.. Way off the beaten path and was not as pics showed on site. It was a site mowed out in the bushes. No permaculture farm visible.

Wild Plum Hedge Campsite

My wife and I had such an amazing time. It was beautiful and quiet. The directions were spot on. Heather met us at the site to give us a helpful rundown. The pond was a fun time to fish and the goats loved eating apples. Overall it was amazing and we will be going back in the future.

I loved the camping site and the surrounding land. Very serene and relaxing. Firewood was provided and the hosts were very nice and accommodating.
