## Overview

Pleasant Valley Farm was originally a working farm with a two-story farmhouse and traditional bank barn, built in the late 1800s. The massive timbers and joinery are constant reminders of the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. Jim and Kathy Grogg purchased Pleasant Valley Farm in 1994 and not only updated the house and barn, but also expanded the lake to its current 13 acres. The large 144-year-old, 2736-square-foot barn is now available for special occasions such as weddings, receptions, birthdays, and reunions.

## Recent reviews

> Very nice campsite. The barn with running water and flush toilets was super nice to have access to. James was a very kind and helpful host. I was having battery issues and James checked on me to make sure I got the car started OK. This location about and hour from where I live; I will definitely stay here again when I'm looking for a quick getaway...

> Pleasant Valley has always been great! We have camped at #5 in a tent, a pop-up, and this time in a teardrop. We had the place to ourselves this late fall weekend. The foliage could not have been better. James is super responsive and a genuine nice man. We will see you again soon, James!

> Stunning farm and lake setting. Very peaceful. Helpful host, though the electric at my site was not fully 30A, so I needed to be a bit more careful than usual. Still, it was a very positive experience!
