The campsite offers a unique and cozy experience, with accommodations creatively transformed from grain sheds and silos. Guests appreciate the rustic charm and the peaceful, private setting that allows for stargazing and enjoying nature. The hosts are praised for their helpfulness and clear communication. A few guests noted the presence of flies, but overall, the atmosphere is tranquil and the amenities are well-maintained.

A very unique and interesting concept. Easy to get to from the highway.
Especially enjoyed the comfortable bed and spacious bathroom as well as the cool lookout spot. Definitely on our return list.

Comfortable & Unique Accommodations
This was such a comfortable spot to land after a long day of traveling, and so unique too! Benjamin was very responsive and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Converting a grain shed into a living space takes imagination. The transformation includes all the furniture and fixtures fabricated from recycled wood and metal and the result is absolutely charming. I only wish that we could have a clear night sky to see the stars.

Staying on the farm
Great stay! Very unique setup from the sleeping "shed" to the bath house silo. This beats a chain hotel any day, I wish I had more time to spend at Benjamin's.

I enjoyed this quiet and peaceful site. Loved the layout of both the sleeping quarters and the bathroom. Enjoyed reading all the notes from the various visitors.
Host communicated clearly and the place was easy to navigate to.
Will definitely check this place out again when I'm heading back to Denver.

A Magic Place!
5 Acre is a special place. The accommodations are excellent. I traveled here alone and felt safe and comfortable. I was able to watch the stars and several meteors on the viewing spot made out of a silo. The quiet, the peace, the birds! Highly recommended!

It's the place to be!
What a great place to stay. Rustic outback decor on the farm. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic. Quiet setting as there is nothing around.

Absolutely fantastic stay. I’ve told at least half a dozen folks about it. The stories and signatures on the wall of previous guests was particularly memorable.

Great glamping spot! The photos in the listing look cool - but it’s even better in person. Great spot to stay if taking I-70 through Kansas like us.

The place is super cool the way he managed to make a tool shed and a grain storage container into a bedroom and bathroom is something you have to see. We will definitely be back.

Delightful!
What a delightful fun place! We totally enjoyed our time there. Was fun reading all the sentiments and information people have written on the boards and I loved the custom artwork!
The silo is the coolest bathroom ever. The lights make it so serene.
Definitely visit and stay if you are in the area!

I stayed the night here during my road trip home for the holidays and it was amazing. I really wish I had more time to stay. I was slightly worried about how cold it gets outside at night but the electric heater kept the whole place toasty. One of my favorite spots I’ve been to so far.

Was the perfect stop for us on the way to Utah! Very comfy and private. Way better than a hotel. Will be staying here again in the future!

Dreamy starry night.
Wish I could have stayed more than one night! The decor is really unique and cute. The bed was super comfy. The silo bathroom is like nothing I’ve seen before. As a city-dweller it was great to see the stars at night. I don’t see them often. (Although it was so quiet I needed to put on white noise to sleep since I’m not used to silence, ha.) Location is very private which I loved. Great location for a cross-country travel pit-stop.

So unique and fun!
I’m so happy I stayed here! Walking in and seeing all the people that left notes on the inside walls was so fun to look at. The bathroom was fantastic and even had a bidet!
I recommend this to everyone. And would absolutely stay here again!

Omg what a fun and neat place! Old grain silo as a hugh bathroom, a quonsit hut as the master bedroom. A nice small coffee pot. Beautiful stars, sky. My wife saw 2 shooting stars and I saw a satellite moving across the sky. Kinda magical really, we'll worth the drive, the stay...everything!

We enjoyed a unique and relaxing stay at the 5-acre. We were so glad we were not tenting the night we stayed there because a thunder storm rolled through the area. The rain on the metal roof (once it quieted down a bit) was soothing for sleep. Our host was responsive and cordial. The place was stocked with everything we needed for our stay, including a small fridge and a coffee maker. If you are traveling on the 70 and need a place to stay, you'll want to check out the 5-acre.

What a great spot! Quiet, clean, saw, beautiful. I’m sad that I typically travel with my dogs, otherwise I’d never pass through without a stopover. Well maintained and had more than enough. The rain on the tin roof was as advertised in the personal’s and just an overall good spot.

Fantastic place to stay! Character and comfort, with a great location close enough to highway 70 for road trip convenience but far enough to feel completely secluded

Really cool spot and a unique experience. The bedroom and bathroom facilitates were great, as well the setting. My only footnote is that there were a lot of flys around that impacted my stay somewhat.
