What we had hoped would be a peaceful weekend on a farm ended up being an end of summer headache. It started when the hosts began texting me a word document waiver to print because they weren’t going to be on-site to provide it as usual. Thankfully, I have easy access to a printer, but if you don’t have a printer, that would be my first warning to look elsewhere. Friday, we had to message the hosts because the list of animals they informed of lacked the mention of goats that were out roaming the property. Not a big deal, but odd that the hosts failed to communicate that there would be goats in the campsites, especially since they knew we had dogs with us. Saturday morning at 8am, people started showing up asking our group about a work day that was occurring on property that day. So again we reach out to the hosts who inform us that, yes, there will be a workday on the farm doing clearing. The hosts claimed to have forgotten to block the weekend out for bookings, but failed to mention a word of this event in advance. Had they known about the work day and had accidentally not blocked the weekend out as stated, they should have informed us upon booking so that we could have made an informed decision about where to stay. Instead, we were blind-sided and had to pack up less than halfway into our stay. After promising a 50% refund, I received a 33% refund from the hosts. We were cheated out of 67% of what we payed for less than 50% of the weekend. So be warned, avoid the scammers.

We had a great time here! Lots of fish to catch, and great campsite. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. The sheep and goats were fun to watch and the 2 farm dogs loved spending time with us at the campsite. If you have dogs, I would make sure they are good around animals and other dogs before considering coming out. We didn’t bring our dogs and I’m glad. I don’t think they would have done well. There are canoe rentals, farm tours, fresh eggs and more. They also have special events at the farm that look like a blast!!

Rich and Mary were very kind and enjoyable to talk to. They met us when we went to the wrong gate and showed us to our spot. We only stayed one night, but I would love to go back for a longer stay. The one thing to note was that there were a lot of bugs, but that was expected due to the location and lake. I definitely recommend this site!

Tent camping was perfect on this land. Beautiful lake around beautiful animals and it was very secluded and quiet just what I needed!

I loved the tent camping at this place. It felt really private, cozy and you could still experience the wilderness. There was a pond by our campsite and the view was breathtaking. Also, we saw some sheep and cattle by the ranch. However, on our first day, a deer visited us too. The host provided us with free firewood too.

We loved camping here! It was a nice, private area and Mary and her son were very helpful. It was definitely a peaceful view in the morning when the sheep came near us as the sun came up. Will definitely be back again!!!
