## Overview

We have a lovely piece of property to come enjoy a getaway at. We enjoy all of the peace and quiet around here. The night sky is unbeatable in my eyes. We have a small hobby farm with lots of very tame animals. We have 42 acres to roams with lots of trails within the woods that are filled with aged oak trees and many young maple trees. Our property is filled with lots of wild flowers and wildlife. 

We are locate 3 miles from the root river if you enjoy fishing or going for a float down the river. There are two caves in our area that are a must see while you are visiting. I you like to hike there is a state park 14 minutes from us that have many miles of hiking trails and horse trails. 

If you are more the small town strolling type of person we have lots of small towns around us that are filled with shops and lots of great food! There is a large system of bike trails in our area that make a very fun way to check out some of the small towns. 

If you have a family with kids we have a lot of fun activities you can do with your kids, like spending time with the goats and chickens, playing on our playground, or taking a nice walk through the woods looking for fossils!

> We had a family of 7, kids age range 2-14. Stayed in beautiful off grid cabin, kids loved taking turns in the loft. Very private and far removed from the family house. Beautiful trails and view of corn fields. Clean, nice outhouse setup. We didn't have mosquitoes, which i was surprised by. They allow you to go in the animal pen as you please and we all enjoyed the goats and chicks following behind their mamas...and we wanted to take the sweet calf home with us. This is a fantastic hip camp experience. We stayed just two nights but there are plenty of things to do in the area to extend the stay…

> My 2 girls and I had an amazing time on Cathy's farm. Peaceful, secluded spot and the goats, chickens, dogs, cats were so much fun! We will be talking about George the goat for a while. Can't wait to go back.

> This was such a special place. We were traveling with four kids (7-12), and everyone found something they loved—as well as a favorite animal—at the farm. The site was clean and peaceful; Cathy was great to work with; and her boys were incredibly informative and sweet. This was the first night of a 6-night road trip, and we all agreed it was the best part.
