## Overview

The Guinea farm is 18 acres of field and forest on the rural middle peninsula. Only 1 mile from 2 separate secluded dog friendly beaches and a boat launch. There is very little traffic or light pollution here, nature is at your fingertips.

Come visit the farm and experience agritourism at it's finest. Pick your own veggies in the community garden and meet the Guinea fowl! Enjoy the wilderness and learn about the local ecosystem here on the middle peninsula. 

 

There are 3 sites spaced out across the 18 acres set apart for privacy. Wisteria Treehouse site closer to the entrance gate. Trilogy Micro Cabinz is in the pines 700' beyond that and separated by dense forest. Stargazer Tiny cabin is an off grid rustic camping cabin on the back side of the property. 

Each site is surrounded by several acres of forest and close to the edge of a large field. There are roaming guinea fowl that may come make a very loud appearance as they canvas the property eating bugs. Deer, Turkeys, Bald Eagles, foxes, and other wildlife are common guests also. Mid-summer is what I call frog season, Tree frogs are abundant and provide a wonderful soundtrack. 

There is an axe throwing board and cornhole boards available. 

4 miles from shopping and dining in Mathews Virginia, 15 miles to Gwynn Island. Gwynn's Island is an island located in the Chesapeake Bay off of Virginia's Middle Peninsula. The island is located in the northeast part of Mathews County, south of the mouth of the Piankatank River. It is connected to the rest of the county by a swing bridge over Milford Haven.

## Recent reviews

> Fantastic spot, nice and private, potable water and a very clean porta-potty. I had no idea what a Guinea Hen was until this trip- super cool but they are noisy little things- no complaints - just something to be aware of. We’ll probably be back to try the cabin next.

> No surprise here, our 5th trip to the guinea farm was one for the books! We had 2 newbies with us this time as well. We got to meet all of the birds that Ian has. They are so awesome and adorable 😍 the tree house is fantastic like always! I unfortunately broke my foot(that last step is a doozy) *shouldn't used a light* but Ian was gracious enough when he found out to reach out to me and check up on me. He is a top notch host and Definitely the biggest reason why we keep coming back!!! Looking forward to next time!

> Great stay! We had booked Stargazer Cabin for the weekend for a group of boys. I was going to tent camp to give them some space. With rain in the forecast Ian offered to let me add on Trilogy for a reduced fee to avoid having to pack up wet camping gear in the rain. It was one of the better decisions I’ve ever made. Very much enjoyed having the Trilogy site to retreat to at night. Slept very well.

> Even though the weather didn’t hold up for the whole weekend, the stay at Ian’s bird haven was memorable in all the best ways. Took a group of five teenage boys who stayed at the Stargazer cabin while I was able to add on the Trilogy site for some peace and quiet. The sites were both exquisite and Ian couldn’t be a greater host. The meet & greet the birds experience was priceless. Ian patiently answered all the questions we had, let the boys hold some of the chickens and let them collect freshly laid eggs. Rhe nearby beaches are wonderful as well. We all had a great time! Will definitely book…

> The property is nice and we really enjoyed all of the birds, Ian knows a lot about birds and it was fun to talk with him about all the different kinds. It is very close to a couple of beaches which were both lovely and relatively empty at the time we were there (a weekday in September) The cabin is cute a comfortable.
