This place has everything, ski trails at our door step, cozy sauna and hot fire all under the towering pines. Thanks for everything and well be back!
We checked out Wildlife Orchard and immediately felt at home in the space. There’s a large rock firepit, outhouse, picnic table, and lots of shaded areas. The grounds offer trails, gardens, greenhouse, and barn with chickens, pigs, and sheep to explore.
It was great to pull up & be greeted like family. Rachel & Jayson our hosts gave us the grand tour even though we arrived at dusk. We felt like we could talk to them forever! I loved hearing about the new land they just purchased with plans to build affordable housing with equity. So important & meaningful!
We sauntered through the garden & greenhouse sampling raspberries, cherry tomatoes, and edible flowers called nasturtium. Rachel showed us the bee hives, how to feed the pigs, and the morning chicken run. Their dog Luna was super sweet & friendly - with us & all the animals on the farm.
The timing of our stay was perfect, as one of Rachel’s friends was leading a yoga session the next morning. We rode over on our bikes in the morning sunshine, and enjoyed outdoor yoga in the breeze. Ah, Heaven.
Wildlife Orchard Is a spectacular spot to summer camp. When we arrived, our host, Rachel, gave us a tour of her property, explained the various amenities in detail, and introduced us to the farm animals. She thought of absolutely everything. For campers used to a state park campsite, this will feel comfortable and familiar, from the pristine outhouse to the outdoor shower. While we stayed, we made use of the sauna, and picked berries for a fair fee in the morning after breakfast. The site is quiet, and the trails are well maintained. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay and fully intend to camp here again some day. 5 stars!
Thank you Ben! How great to meet you both.
