We are a former homestead with a swimming pond, two beautiful art campers and camp spots. We have trails in the woods and are located near many places to explore: Lake Erie, Amish trail, excellent fishing and beautiful woods. We are on a dirt road very secluded and quiet but not far away from main traveling routes. Note to eclipse travelers: April is cold and often wet in Western New York, please be prepared for winter-like camping conditions. Including overnight temperatures in the 30’s and mud.

Goodschoolfarm Wildcat Art Camper
Magical solar eclipse getaway!
My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to stay for the eclipse and happily stumbled across Christopher’s awesome campsite! The wildcat art camper was super cozy, comfortable and clean, not to mention so cute with the custom painting/furniture and lighting. It was predicted to be chilly at night so we brought a little electric blanket and we were aok. Christopher was a wonderful host, was very responsive and after a long drive from Philly we were pleasantly surprised there was a bbq feast solar eclipse party, we felt very welcomed. His gardens and land in general is very beautiful and well kept. 10/10 would come back!

Camping on Chris's land was absolutely wonderful. It had been snowing and raining the few days ahead of our trip, so there was a bit of mud on the way to our site - Chris was prepared with garden carts to help us carry our gear. We had access to crisp & refreshing mountain spring water, lovely mountain views, and a lovely little community of campers and locals. During our stay, Chris threw a lovely Eclipse party; hosting several awesome musicians in his barn - literally a dream come true - and a potluck featuring some of the most delicious pulled pork I've ever had the pleasure of eating. On our way out, we were welcomed to fill up our water bottles with the aforementioned spring water, and given specific recommendations for where to visit Lake Erie. Thank you again, Chris. Your hospitality really kicked off our camping season right. We'll definitely be back whenever we can make it!

Such a delightful experience! The entire farm is like a work in progress playground for adults and kids alike. Paddle boats, a plank-walkway to a little island, hanging chairs and climbing ropes, rock gardens, fields to explore, and art everywhere. It’s an easy place to unwind and meditate by the lake for misty sunrises, or to have a bonfire and loudly sing campfire songs accompanied by a deafening frog/cricket backup band. Chris and Co. are fabulously kind and attentive and provided great suggestions for things to do/see in town. We enjoyed their good company and appreciated their thoughtfulness in inviting us in to their events, and also giving us plenty of space to be solitary and do our own thing. In between campfires and sight-seeing, there was live music in their beautifully lit old barn, and even a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. As backpackers, this was a cozy glamping experience for sure, complete with electricity, 3 comfy beds, an electric burner/coffee kettle, and fresh springs bottled water. For folks more accustomed to hotels, be prepared for a lovely camping-ish experience with unregulated temperatures, no running water (yet! as of April 2024), the bugs and mud that come with farm life, and outdoor composting toilet. Will 1000% visit again

Great stay!!!
Had a very lovely stay, Chris is charismatic and kind, very welcoming and enthusiastic. A group was there celebrating the eclipse and welcomed us to a fantastic meal and good company. The little pod was cozy, clean, unique and fit my partner and I perfectly. Out building was kept clean and designed well. I would suggest if you stay you bring boots, headlamps, wet wipes, trash bag, Thanks again for the accommodation and a lovely stay.

We had a great time camping out on Christopher's land for the solar eclipse. Christopher is such a great host and we appreciated him opening his space to us. He provided camping spots for people to tent camp in the field, rentals in the art camper by the pond, as well as two car camping spots, (which we took advantage of). Christopher not only provided us with a friendly and beautiful space to view the eclipse, but he also made it special with live music in the barn and a community potluck lunch before the eclipse. There are little paddle boats for to cruise around the pond, fresh spring water to drink, and really creative structures and sculptures to check out. Thank you so much for showing us a great time. We'll never forget our lovely solar eclipse adventure.

They were welcome on out enexpected late reservations. Very friendly hosts. The weather put a little dapper on our visit. That was the only down side. I see great potential for these hosts.
