My healing journey brought me to Sky Valley Acres, and I'm grateful it did. I have struggled with chronic illness for much of my life, particularly eczema and fatigue. After moving out of a moldy home and work environment, I was encouraged to spend time in a place with really clean air.
My stay was a 2.5 week retreat into nature and fresh air. I can genuinely say I noticed a difference! In days, I experienced about a 50-75% relief in my symptoms (my flaking skin around my wrists became almost baby smooth around day 9!), which I strongly believe was due to the environment here. This was the main reason I came here, and I'm very happy to be able to say this.
This is a really beautiful and tranquil piece of land, and Ash, the host, has thoughtfully and tastefully made great use of the land to maximize enjoyment and appreciation of its beauty. Trail walkways are mowed which helps a lot with tick avoidance (though not to be completely relied upon, I spotted 4 ticks in the wild here in early October), lots of the land have been preserved as-is especially in the primitive section for one's appreciation of raw beauty. I became very comfortable with it. Clean bathroom with toilet, sink, shower available added a level of comfort to camping that I really appreciated without turning it into a full on glamping experience. But if you want the raw camping experience there are of course the composting toilets available too ;)
Ash is a kind soul, and I am grateful to have met him. He welcomed me personally at my site and we bonded right away over a mutual interest in meditation. I really enjoyed the conversations that came out of it.
