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.

All the nature of camping without the hassle of bringing all the gear. Rest assured that if the weather goes sideways you are off the ground and under a roof. Packing up wet tents isn't an issue in this secluded campsite with 2 Micro Cabin camping shelters. The A-frame cabin is outfitted with 3 camping cots and a clear plastic roof. The Square cabin has a twin over full bunk bed with very comfortable full/twin camp pads. There are also 2 rocker camping chairs for use in or out of the cabin. There is a gravity shower, picnic table, and firepit in the site. The porta potty is located a modest walk from the site and is shared with Wisteria Treehouse. This site has a large firepit and a semi-private outdoor shower. The site is 1 mile drive to 2 separate secluded beaches and a boat launch.

Treehouse · Sleeps 10
Wisteria Treehouse is an elevated camping structure designed to imerse you in nature. The lower deck hosts a 13' bell tent with cots and camp matresses. 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 walls are insulated and the teehouse has a Small Mr. Buddy propane heater inside. The bell tent has 4 cots with camp matresses and an additional 2 cots stored in the treehouse. 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!

Tiny home · Sleeps 10 · 4 beds · 1 toilet
((Winter info: Stargazer can be a little more of a challenge in very cold temps. Please 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.

    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.
