Folk School Farm Stay

We absolutely loved our stay here! Anna was a lovely host and the site was tucked away with plenty of privacy and great facilities. We would definitely recommend and look forward to staying again.

Loved it

Our family had a great time camping on Anna’s land. We loved being near so much beautiful landscaping and the flock of sheep. It was convenient to have bathrooms and showers so near our campsite too.

We loved the space and the convenience of the Folk School building. It was great to see the sheep and cows. We had good shade which was needed to keep cool while camping.

Perfect for a quick stay while on the road. Electrical hook up was right by the road but no traffic so we had very quiet night.

Anna greeted us with warmth and showed us to our level parking spot, offered an electrical hookup, and showed us lovely dog walking paths. Later, I clipped some kale and a leek, as I had purchased a forage pass, and we purchased maple syrup, which was delicious on our breakfast. We met other campers in the kitchen, and felt welcomed to explore the wetlands and gardens around the property. We viewed a gorgeous sunset over the farm field and had a great sleep. There were ample clean showers and toilets in the building nearby. There was an amazing restaurant-quality kitchen available—with many sinks for washing dishes. Everything was meticulously clean and this farm felt very inviting. The kale and leeks were delicious in our dinner and the whole experience nourished our souls. Anna loves what she does and couldn’t have been friendlier. She clearly enjoys meeting new people and being creative and it made us want to return. This was a stand-out host and we highly recommend.

The farm was a perfect spot to camp at as I drove across the states with my dog and kids. Being outside in God’s creation is my favorite way to relax and we loved the shaded meadow we camped in and falling asleep to the sound of crickets was so peaceful. The shared kitchen was beautiful and clean and the bathroom and shower were lovely as well. We hope to stop by when we travel again.

Camping on a farm

My family enjoyed staying at Anna's farm! There was a nice kitchen, decent bathroom and showers to use adjacent to her home. It's a nice place to camp along the way to your destination. We were heading to Wyoming from Michigan so it was a great spot to rest in between!

This is great for groups, with Cabins and tent camping, and a large well appointment kitchen for making breakfast. Its fun to wake up to baby sheep and barn cats in a beautiful setting.

So beautiful and easy to reach from I-80! Truly the perfect stop on our way between Denver and Grand Rapids - we can’t wait to come back and see the sheep again!

Such a beautiful, serene place

With pets ·

I'm on a long road trip with my two dogs, and this was one of my first stops. It's a beautiful place, and Anna was gracious and helpful. The Garden Shed is basic but workable, with the bathrooms and kitchen right across the lawn. My dogs loved walking the mown paths around the extensive property, including a quick dip in the pond for my black lab. They also loved meeting the sheep, which was a whole new experience for them! I highly recommend Anna's place - there are a couple other nice cabins if you don't have dogs.

The work restorative work Anna is doing to her land is inspiring, particularly the wetlands around the pond--gorgeous! Recommend the farm tour option.

This is one of my favorite HIPCAMP places to stay. Anna and Dave are wonderful hosts, and have multiple options for where I can place my car/tent. This last visit I stayed in a lovely stand of trees full of quite the assortment of sounds. Before that I was close to the hilarious sheep on property. I picked up some of Anna's Elderberry glaze that she makes- that too was wonderful.

Beautiful farm and warm welcome. We set up our tent in the garden shed and had a great stop on a long drive. Can't wait to try the homemade vinegar. Thank you!

This is absolutely our favorite place to stay on our drive across the country. There is truly something magical and nourishing about the land and the curating they have done to the farm. We always wish we could stay longer.

Truly Magical Land

Anna is such a lovely human I am grateful to have had beautiful conversations with her. She hosts magical lands with firefly’s lighting up the sky at night. It was so peaceful and truly a beautiful space. The kitchen lounge area is stunning and the showers and bathrooms are clean. Highly recommend this beautiful land and beautiful people that govern it. Thank you Anna 🤎

Hey we had fun, it certainly was an adventure for us...It is 'just a shed. but that is what we were expecting. No ementies, no bed so we brought our own. Fun stay, even our dogs enjoyed it. Next time we might try one of the other bookings there.

Great place to reset!!

Indigo Pod

I had an amazing stay in the Indigo Pod on Anna’s property! It was a perfect place for a reset after the busy holiday season. It was quiet, comfortable and relaxing with no distractions. I was able to journal and catch up on some reading during my stay. The supply of hot tea and kettle were a lovely touch. I enjoyed a cup as I watched the fog roll over the Iowa farm fields in the mornings. There is also a community kitchen where I could prepare nutritious meals instead of getting take out. Being able to roam the property and be in nature also helped with my holiday reset! I highly recommend Anna’s place to anyone wanting time away to refocus and relax. It has everything you need without the distraction!

Anna was so gracious, even as I surprised her by arriving 20 mins after booking. It's so clear that she enjoys hosting people. Her indoor space was wonderful for my morning meditation too.

One trip and I fell in love

My friend and I stayed in the flower shed. It was one of the few locations I could find to stay after the college football game. When we returned after the game, the shed was lit with a beautiful set of 3 door frames with branches and lights. The soft lights helped in relaxing after the game and were soft enough to leave on all night. Only a young girl at heart could have thought up such a wonderful place for people to stay and relax, if even for a one rainy night. I can't wait to come back and stay when the flowers are all in bloom as the pictures show. This is a place one can come and disconnect from the world and sit enjoying the peace and quiet of the surroundings. Looking over my calendar for next year planning a few weekend trips already!!!!

Perfect weekend

A great weekend getaway on a peaceful farm. The communal kitchen was so nice to have, the flowers around the shed were pretty, walks around by the sheep were fun, and the farm cat was friendly. All the camping fun with some nice added comforts.
