We're bringing my family farm back to life. My parents farmed here until the 1980's, but couldn't make a profit with corn and soybeans.

Come wander the 125 acres of woods, wetlands, and farm. Check out the animals in our pastures, and walk along the Muscatatuck River. Enjoy a quiet fire. Hear the roar of frogs calling in Spring. Chase fireflies. Behold a family farm coming back to life.

Weekend Trip to Acacia Farms
I absolutely loved my stay at Acacia farms! Leah Ann accommodated my traveling needs and really went the extra mile to make sure quests feel comfortable. The shed house was adorable and cozy, and the location featured many extra amenities including a fire pit, a large backyard, and of course a barn full with baby goats that made me wish I could have stayed longer!! If you are passing through the area I would highly recommend booking here.

This is our second time here and my goodness, it’s perfect. My daughter loves hiking on the property and petting the horses. It has everything you NEED and the warm shelter after a rainy hike at McCormicks Creek State Park is always what we need. Can’t wait to come back again. Our little dude with Cerebral Palsy could absolutely love this property too.

Where to start with this review??
The directions to get there were easy to navigate, and communication with Dwight was super easy.
The location was absolutely beautiful, and serene. The cabin was super comfortable. The site had many amenities that our children loved. The adults favorite was the firepit, the kids loved the access to the boat and the rocking chairs on the porch. Watching the ducks and rooster and making up stories of their antics was a close 2nd.
We were only there for a couple of days but we are excited to come back next year.

Weekend Trip to Urban Farm
We were on a road trip and need a nice place to recharge and sleep for one night. It was a last minute reservation and Justin was quick to respond and accommodate us. We wish we could have stayed longer . The apartment with the deck was spacious, clean, quiet and had a nice bathroom and kitchenette. We left early in the morning but were able to visit with the two friendly kitties , chickens, goats and a dog. Got a peak at the gardens too! Great spot close to a lot of shops etc. but feels rural! We had a lot of camping equipment in the back of our truck so we appreciated the gated and locked parking.

They have an amazing mountain bike trail system within the state park! There is a fire lookout tower which guests can climb. There are multiple scenic overlooks. You can ride your horse there! There is a swimming pool AND a lake. There is a great tourist shopping town nearby, an artsy community and a lot of ongoing "yard sales".

We spend a lot of our time at Brown County State Park throughout the spring through the fall. As avid mountain bikers, my son and I enjoy the BCSP trails, as they are some of the best in the Midwest! It's truly easy to create an epic ride out of the trail system and not be on the same trail twice.

We have tent camped at Brown County State Park for the past two years now. One year we camped the end of June, with an average amount of other campers in the park. This year we camped in mid May, the park was nearly empty (no weekends). Nice hiking trails!
