We needed a place to stay one night on our way passing though, and the Greenhouse was perfect. It was conveniently right off of the Thruway, had plenty of space on the stone pad for our tiny camper trailer and car, and the greenhouse offered shelter to feed the dogs and help with pack out in the rain the next morning. The porta-potty and grounds were clean and there was plenty of greenspace for our dogs to stretch their legs. If we were there longer, we would have made use of the ample fire pit. It was accurately advertised and the host was responsive. I would recommend.

This made for a fantastic, quick overnight stay. We were running later than expected, and the host thoughtfully left the lights on for us at the campsite, which was a huge help upon arrival. The location is super convenient just off the highway, yet remains quiet and private. A standout feature for us was the amazing dog run—our two pups absolutely loved it! It was fully equipped with water, a pooper scooper, and even agility equipment. A wonderful spot that we would gladly stay at again!
