Such a beautiful property and tent on the land, it's a short walk up from the parking area to the tent site with lush fields as you go back to it. We had a blast seeing all of the animals on the farm and meeting the livestock guardian dog along with their 3 farm cats who were curious about us being there, everyone was very friendly! The tent itself is quite large and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Horrible host. The instructions were not clear and we did not receive what we saw in the photos. There were no extra blankets and the place had very little lighting. I would not recommend it.

None of the pictures matched what we ended up with. It was very confusing. There was plenty of potential but it seems like they're in the middle of getting it set up. I can't recommend it right now. The peacocks were a lot to deal with.

The yurt was very spacious and the area around it was absolutely beautiful. There’s tons of outdoor seating, a playground, trampoline and more. The cat is awesome and super friendly. I highly recommend.

Loved our yurt getaway from the city! The host was very responsive and you have a panoramic view of their gorgeous land. They also have the sweetest guard dog who greets you when you arrive and leave. Couldn't recommend it more, and I look forward to visiting again.

Cute little spot and fun camping experience for kids. Would just suggest that the tent and grounds be maintained a bit better. Many of the zippers on tent were broken and almost all lights (string lights and standing lights by trail) were not working. Also the electricity kept going out at night. We pay a cleaning fee but tent was not very clean, which is to be expected while camping but not when paying for cleaning.

I loved that the campsite was on a platform and on a hill. It minimized bugs and allowed a nice breeze.

We had a wonderful time with our family! My wife, our child, and I visited this place and were absolutely delighted. Besides the stunning beauty of the surrounding nature, I want to highlight the hospitality of the hosts. They were very caring and attentive to us, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
Despite the slight chill in the evening, it didn't hinder us from soaking in the atmosphere of the place. We understand that it's not yet the summer season, so feeling a bit cold was expected. But even that didn't dampen our spirits.
We are very happy that we chose this place for our getaway and will definitely come back here again. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming spot to relax!

Although an unexpected rain event proved a bit of a challenge the 1st night we stayed, Jamie was so accommodating, bringing us heated blankets and helping us get comfortable. Tom made sure everything was much better the 2nd night. The property is just beautiful and we enjoyed everything about it: a nice hike, watching Baily (the animals guard/herd dog) take care of her charges, and were just charmed by the friendly and cuddly Timothy the cat! Tom appears to take great care of the camp and looks like he's got some fun expansions coming in the future. We will definitely go back :)

I loved staying here! My boyfriend and I camped during an unexpected March snow storm and still had an amazing time. When you arrive you’re greeted by the cuddly and friendly massive Pyrenees Bailey. She marched us to our camp site where we were able to get a fire going in the camp stove and start a bonfire outside. Despite the below freezing temperatures, we’re cozy with the camp stove, some extra layers, and an electric blanket plugged into the outlet onsite. We will definitely be back… maybe when the weather is a little better!

Such a cool spot! The tent was great- it had a ton of resources for making fires and cooling, etc. The land/farm itself is beautiful. Very peaceful.
My only note to future folks who bring dogs - if your dog gets super interested/excited about seeing animals- is to make sure you put your dog on a leash to get up to the campsite.
The guard dog is sososo sweet (so is the adorable cat) but the dog is “on duty” snd has a job to do. My dog got excited and started to bark, got a little too close to the pen, and well…the the guard dog did it’s job. My dog wasn’t hurt at all. I just wanted to share to emphasize the note that is already in the listing- to drive your dog up or make sure you leash and walk around back. The dog is so sweet that I can see where it might be easy to want to let them play but as it says in the listing and on the sign (which I saw in the morning) the dog is working! :)
All that said- I would love to stay here again!

Beautiful farm and wonderful site. We unfortunately got pummeled with rain so we didn’t get to hike but were warm and dry in the yurt!

This was our third time staying at Hruby Ranch and it was a magical time. The ranch has the best yurt and this time it got really cold but the stove heated up and we were warm in no time! Tom is a great and responsive host! Izzy and the orange cat have the best personalities. And the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. If you’re thinking about going to Hruby Ranch, I highly suggest it!

We enjoyed our stay at Hruby Ranch. Great opportunity to really hang out as a family and unwind and unplug. This self-proclaimed non-outdoorsy gal had a wonderful stay! My kids (4 & 10) wanted to camp and this tent was the perfect compromise for our family. They loved the playground, climbing landscape logs and sand space, & even the mini "hike" to our tent. Tent was spacious enough for our family of 4 & my 6'7" partner was plenty comfortable too. Bed was cozy for us both. Kid 1 slept on provided cot, kid 2 on the lil couch. (Bring extra linens for everything but the bed!) The working farm was sweet & my city kids especially loved all the animals! If you don't want animals (re: noises, smells, bugs) don't stay here. We got a kick outta the noisy duck and barking dog - it didn't bother us!- but worth noting if you're looking for a *quiet*, secluded campsite under the stars. The bathroom is a short walk away fyi. And general headsyp-I wouldn't say this stay is accessible those with ADA needs (rocky to mulch terrain, tent itself is narrow to navigate inside, portojohn is small one w/out ramp, outdoor shower, very dark at night all around). Overall, great stay and would recommend to friends.

We loved staying on this farm! Spaces are a good distance apart and made for a quiet stay. The tent was spacious with a comfortable bed and firewood and cooking supplies was provided which was much appreciated! We loved seeing all the animals and taking in the beautiful views. It was so peaceful. Keep in mind you are staying in a open field close to a wooded area so bring bug spray. (This did not take away from the experience just want others to be prepared)

I really enjoyed the stay at Tom's place. The location is so beautiful and it was wonderful not to have to buy & cart up all the camping equipment letting me focus on just the fire and the food. The location is near (45 min drive) The Indiana Dunes State Park, a gorgeous hiking park. The tent was sturdy, and the bed, comfy. All of the many animals friendly.

We were greeted by a friendly dog and cat on arrival! Stayed one night in the yurt and everything was so nice. Arrived in the dark (so many fireflies) and there were lights that guided our way so the spot was easy to find on the ranch. It was cozy. We loved it. A few others were staying at the other sites, and there was a good amount of space between each spot.

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing stay at the yurt. Everything was set up with thought and care - slippers at the door, utensils and French press to make coffee, plenty of blankets and firewood.
The bed was so comfortable! It got down into the 30s at night but we were very snug.
Bailey the guardian dog is a big marshmallow and i loved giving her scratches.
Timothy the orange tabby made himself welcome in the yurt and was excellent company.
Can't wait to come back!

After the first time I visited the ranch, I knew we would be back. Hruby Ranch is really just such an escape away from all the stresses you out. Truly grateful that the owner has decided to share their piece of paradise at the ranch. The sounds of nature, the scenery and the tent are just so perfect for someone who wants to get away from a busy life. The sunsets and sunrises are so beautiful to experience. Thank you to Tom for being so accommodating when I was concerned about it being cold. Kept consistent communication and was able to answer my question quickly. We will be coming back regularly as this place has stolen my heart.

The Glamping site was great. Complete with enough firewood for the very chilly fall nights we spent there.

It’s a great little setup at the ranch! The tent is well equipped and very comfortable - more than I expected for glamping. The bed was super comfy. Loved the walking trails and going to see the animals. Overall, a great experience! Definitely plan to return.

We had an amazing weekend glamping here! The accommodations are great, the location is beautiful and our 4yo adored the playground and animals. We will definitely be back for another long weekend.
Our only complaints would be the livestock guardian dog barking quite a bit one night (hard to be mad at a working dog for doing their job though!) and the lack of cooking utensils at the campsite.
Timothy the cat was an excellent friend throughout our time there and we loved watching the stars come our each night.

The negative: no one from the property showed up during our stay. When we arrived to our tent it was full of dog hair and the place had not been properly cleaned. The garbage outside the tent had not been emptied and it smelled badly. We paid for the fresh eggs bundle, but did not receive them. Overall, communication with the host was not great.
The positive: the place is nice and very quiet.

Amazing camp site, wonderful area and tent, and a really nice host. The dog on site however, stood outside our tent and barked all night long, making sleep impossible. But the cat, 10 outta 10, loved that little dude!
