My grandpa and grandma moved here in 1943 so that would make me a 3rd generation farmer on this land and a fourth generation farmer since my great grandfather was also a farmer. Originally, they paid 10,500 for this land back then and at the time all that existed was a few little outbuildings and a log cabin that needed a lot of work. There was no electricity here till after World War 2.  My grandpa built a barn and farmed this land till 1955 when he had an opportunity to buy another farm and then he moved to that place. I grew up on this farm, having moved here when I was in second grade and have been on and off, but mostly here now for the rest of my life. I am mostly retired but do have chickens, ducks and one wild goose. I make hay in the summertime and try and keep bees also.  I am in the process of planting trees on the open fields to find good purpose in life and make up for some of the destruction of habitat I may have been responsible for over the years. I also carve with a chainsaw in already dead trees or cull trees from others. I enjoy the solitude and peacefulness of our farm and I am not a hunter so wildlife abounds. Please respect the natural order of things.

What an off road gem. Beautiful property and the owner is gracious, humble, and extremely friendly. Very private area, with lots of room all to yourself..... We will definately be returning, Thanks again, Kevin. :)

Bad weather couldn’t keep me away
The property is absolutely gorgeous. Hike up the hill past the pond for an amazing view of the sunset and surrounding area. Campsite was very private and well maintained. I’m used to no bathrooms, so a clean camp-toilet teepee was a plus. Kevin was kind enough to stock wood even though he was hurt the day I came and there was nearby kindling from downed trees for the fire. Be warned that the camp site is on top of a hill (which means lots of views!) so it is windy, especially during storms like the one I was in, so stake your tent/hammock tarp down well! This was my first trip to this site and I would love to come back here again.

Expect breathtaking sunsets from the site, or take a short hike uphill for an even better sight of the sun setting over autumn colors.

Amazing
Love love love Kevin’s site. The property is beautiful with plenty of terrain to explore, lovely fire pit, hammock, and views. Amazing privacy, and my dog has a blast exploring off leash, which he allows!! He’s also a warm host and is responsive to messages. Will be staying again!

Beautiful, private site!
We absolutely loved our stay! The site is beautiful! Kevin was super nice and welcoming. After initial introductions he left us on our own and the site was totally private for our whole stay. There was firewood ready at the site which was really nice too! We would definitely recommend it to others and would love to come back ourselves in the future!
