The Guinea farm is 18 acres of feild and forest on the rural middle pennensula. Only 1 mile from 2 separate secluded beaches and a boat launch. There is verly little traffic or light polution here, nature is at your fingertips. Come visit the farm and experience agrotourism at it's finest. Pick your own veggies in the community garden and meet the Guinea fowl! Enjoy the windernes and learn about the local ecosystem here on the middle pennensula. There are 3 sites spaced out across the 18 acres set apart for privacy. Wisteria is a primative site closer to the entrance gate. Trilogy is a suspended tree tent in the pines 700' beyond that and seperated by dense forest. Stargazer Tiny cabin is an offgrid rustic camping cabin on the back side of the property. Each site is surronded by several acres of forest and close to the edge of a large feild. There are romaing 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 are free to use bicycles, 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.

Being off the ground keeps the tent drier and invites a nice breeze. The Treehouse itself is a renovated hunting blind turned into a sheltered spot relax and take in the view. The porch has a grill and griddle for cooking your favorite camping dishes. Inside you can charge you phone, connect to the wifi, watch a movie, or Race Mario Kart on the 12V powered N64.

The tent sleeps 6-8 without cots or 4-5 on cots. Guests are welcome to pitch their own tents and/or move the cots around as they like. The treehouse is located on a 2.5 acre lot of wisteria covered trees with a 3/4 acre clearing. There is a gravity fed shower is located behind the treehouse and the porta potty is 150 foot walk. Bring your own sleeping bags, coolers, and camping cooking gear. Enjoy being surrounded by acres of forest hearing only the wind in the trees and chirping of birds. Secluded Treehouse camp hidden in wisteria covered trees 1 mile (by dead end road)from 2 separate beaches on the bay. Enjoy relaxing in the the quite solitude of nature while being 2-3 minutes from secluded beaches. The site has an outdoor gravity fed shower and faucet/improvised sink. The water is not considered potable for humans but is fine for washing and watering dogs. Both beaches and all of my property are dog freindly, let the doggies have a vacation also!

Stargazer Tiny Cabin

Tiny home · Sleeps 10

((Winter info: Please keep in mind that Stargazer is a bit of a challenge below freezing. Message for details)) Rustic off grid tiny cabin tucked in the trees on the back side of a large field. The cabin has solar, well, a shower, composting bathroom, and Wifi! Enjoy being immersed in nature while staying comfortable in a quirky cabin built from local and reclaimed materials. Perched over the kitchen the loft sports a full-sized bed. USB outlets are available for all your charging needs. The clear roof provides stargazing from the comfort of the bed. The living room has a double adult-sized cot/bunkbed that transforms into a couch. Chill on the couch and stream a movie from the mini-projector and warm up by the wood stove. The living room has ample USB charging, lights, and the solar controller is built into a working retro gaming cabinet. It's truly a cozy space to recharge after a long day at the beach. The kitchen has a gas cooktop, sink, propane heater, drinking water cooler, small fridge, and dinner table. The screened windows and clear storm shutters keep nature at your fingertips in any weather. Work remotely? I got you with wifi and 110v outlets near the kitchen table. Go ahead and make your co-workers jealous with a beautiful Zoom background. Outside the cabin, you will find a shower and composting toilet built from locally sawn pine. A hand-dug well and solar pump feeds the gravity tank providing water for the shower. A propane on-demand water heater will provide a hot enough shower to cancel out those cold mornings. Next to the cabin is a fire pit tucked in the woods for secluded smores or burnt weiners. Or scamper out in the field and use the larger fire pit under the stars. sleeps 4-5 comfortably, additional guests my need to pitch a tent. (tents available on request) Not recommended for people with mobility issues. Please note, this is a small rustic off-grid camping structure on the edge of an untamed forest. The refrigerator is a high effeciency powered cooler and has the capacity of a minifridge. An additional beverage cooler is recomended for larger/thirsty groups (loaner available). The forest contains everything that likes to live in forests. It is very likely that a frog or spider will be hanging with you in the bathhouse.

Ian's campsite offers a blend of rustic charm and thoughtful amenities, making it a delightful escape for campers. The setting feels secluded, yet provides access to essentials like a fire pit, outdoor shower, and fun extras like a treehouse and axe throwing. Visitors appreciate Ian’s hospitality and the proximity to quiet beaches, which adds to the serene atmosphere. While the presence of guinea fowl adds a unique touch, the overall experience is peaceful and well-received by guests.

Trilogy (blocked for Improvements)

I stayed at the Trilogy site. I stayed in my own tent, but there is a suspended tent available on site. It also had a picnic table, fire, pit, and outdoor shower. I hiked around the property and took part in the axe throwing board. That was a lot of fun. I drove down the road a mile to the beach and did some fishing and came back to the site that evening to cook dinner and hang out around the fire. Ian is a great host. He included firewood and farm fresh eggs for me. I used one of the eggs to put on my burger that I cooked that evening. You can’t see anyone on the other sites from where you are at, you can at times hear some of the other people in the distance, but I was surrounded by good people in a safe area. I would recommend the site to anyone doing a solo camp, family camp, or other group camp. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 💯
