The Watkins cabin is such a special, peaceful place. And so secluded, with woods and beautifully maintained trails at your cabin door. The pictures don’t do justice to how beautiful the landscape around the cabin is— gorgeous! This is an ideal location for experiencing the outdoors, while still sleeping indoors with a bathroom. Cabin’s heat worked great, and it had everything we needed. My son asked if we could come back next week!

We had a great time staying at Watkin's Place. The home and location were exactly what we were looking for. The home is isolated and feels remote even though it is only a short drive to Hardin. Plenty of hot water and full kitchen made our stay comfortable and a step up from tent camping but we still had the "out in nature" experience. Our dogs loved it as well. Hiking took us through open fields and forest sheltered paths. Watkins Place was clean and stocked with the necessities, including linens and basic cooking supplies. If you are looking for a cross between roughing it and glamping, Watkins Place is exactly the right fit.

We enjoyed our stay in Cabin #2 @ Peacetree Farm. Katie was a wonderful host. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and our room had nice cool A/C with a serene view into the woods. They were welcoming of our dog and had a goofy kitten that came to play with her frequently. Stargazing was amazing; being in such a remote location and far from any major city lights. We saw several shooting stars and could clearly see the Milky Way. We walked the 1-mile loop around the gorgeous 7 acre lake and saw some breathtaking views along the way. We relaxed by the water and did some fishing - we didn't catch any but we saw another group pulling out a few good sized fish. There weren't a lot of other campers there and everyone was spread out over the property so it felt like we mostly had the place to ourselves. We had our own fire pit (wood provided) with chairs provided and also had access to our own charcoal grill. We had access to a canoe and kayaks and had planned to paddle around the lake with our dog but ran out of time. We hope to go back again in the future. This was a wonderful getaway for us to relax in nature. I highly recommend this place if you're looking looking for a very peaceful getaway in a gorgeous remote location.

We stayed in the cottage and loved it! It was very clean and comfortable. The lake is great for swimming and kayaking. It’s so quiet and peaceful at the farm. Perfect for stargazing at night and watching beautiful sunrises. Katie is a wonderful host! She gave us some of her tomatoes when we forgot to bring our own. Highly recommend Peacetree Farm!

The cottage is clean, complete with all you need except for a functional kitchen, but it's clean, great view, and the lake has a lot of big fish! Will definitely come back in the future! The host, Katie, and Steve are amazing people! Hopefully, a fire pit will be available near the cottage in the future.

This place is a hidden gem. I was only there for one day, but was able to experience full serenity. Plenty of time to get out on the canoe and catch some fish. The cabin was super comfortable and air conditioned. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying. Thanks Katie and everyone at the farm!

This place was one of my favorite stays so far on this app. The host was absolutely charming and so helpful, the view from the cottage has to be the best on the property like a post card. The lake was the perfect size for hanging out by. We could see so many stars, and the kayak/canoe included was amazing. It was just quiet and lovely and so relaxing.

I had a wonderful stay with my husband and 10 month old at PeaceTree Farm. Katie was very welcoming, informative, and easy to text with if we needed anything. We wanted a warm stay in nature, get away from crowds, and enjoy a hike. We got it all at the farm! The lake is gorgeous. We’ll definitely be back with our camper van when it’s warmer.

The Cottage at Peacetree farms was absolutely perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. The cottage itself was very tidy and had everything one would need for cooking, cleaning, and showering. The farm was very beautiful too. 150 acres of trails, pathways, lakes, peaceful woods, and during the holiday season, Christmas trees!! My favorite spot was sunrise hill. I loved waking each morning and watching the sun come up. Katie, the host, was super friendly and promptly replied to my calls/text. The only thing I wish is that I would have stayed longer.
