We had such a wonderful weekend at Summer Smiles Honey Farm! Darci was very communicative, answered all my questions, and was flexible with me through the scheduling of workshops (they offer a handful of really fun/educational workshops right on the farm - we did the beekeeping & blacksmithing). The tiny house was clean and cozy, and the welcome platter was perfect (and delicious). We brought our two pups who loved exploring the farm and getting to know their farm dog, Sis. Truly had an amazing experience and will definitely return to eat more honey and cuddle baby goats :)

Adorable spot on a beautiful farm. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed, including coffee for the morning. We woke up in the morning to Sis the dog at the door and Bob the rooster crowing. We went for a walk through the trails on the farm and Sis + our dog played while we enjoyed the views + fresh air. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Darci was helpful and yet we never felt intruded upon. Wonderful host, wonderful spot.

Loved the Tiny House! It’s tight on the property of the main house and honey farm and is also the same site as the potter’s shed (also listed), which I guess I just didn’t realize. Overall, such a great experience! We got super lucky, timing-wise, and were able to help Darci harvest honey! What a cool experience! The outdoor shower totally made this place a 100% winner for me also. Loved it. Great little getaway.

The Summer Smiles Honey Farm was beautiful. We ordered a cheese platter that was supposed to be ready close to our arrival- it instead took a couple of hours which kind of threw off our dinner plans (arrival is at 3pm). We didn’t have any communication about that which was a little frustrating and we texted the host a question about fire wood that wasn’t answered for about an hour and a half. All in all, pretty minor issues and they ended up being resolved. However, we were not clear before our arrival how close the tiny house was to both the host’s home and a secondary guest suite- I think it was referred to as the Potting Shed. If we had been looking for a more communal vibe, this place would’ve rocked but we had gone out with the intent of really having some privacy and unwinding. The close proximity definitely hindered that. We did appreciate that the farm allowed dogs. Though be aware, if you have a grouchy pet, it can be a little challenging to steer clear of Sis (who is a sweet, sweet girl).

The potting shed was everything we dreamed and then some. Just a hour or so outside of Pittsburgh, the Summer Smiles Honey Farm is a breathe of fresh air. It is surrounded by happy farm animals, beautiful hills, and amazing greenery. I would recommend this farm to all my family and friends.

I couldn’t have picked a better place to relax and rejuvenate❣️ Darci and Amanda have created a great atmosphere on their Summer Smiles Honey Farm for folks to take a timeout from the demands of everyday life. The Farm is peaceful, the animals engaging, and the paths cleared for exploring.
I stayed in the glamping studio loft house... comfy, cozy, and cute. The upstairs loft bed was excellent. The downstairs room had plenty of space for eating and sitting without feeling cramped. Oh, the outside shower... awesome! And the Scotty Potty was the cleanest I’ve ever seen in my life!
I had the welcome platter on day 1, which sustained me for my 3 day visit because of all of the delightful treats. But I also had the yummy lasagna and a super fresh salad day 2... enough for 2 days. I enjoyed crusty, warm homemade bread and herb butter that came with both meals.
The Farm provides opportunities to sit quietly and reflect, to romp around with sweet Sis, Big Fluff, and the hilarious chickens, to hike several trails, to observe the bee yard, and even take classes if available. Several covered bridges, the Flight 93 Memorial, and other sightseeing possibilities are within easy driving distance.
Great hosts, a great setting, great beasts, great food, great bed, great outdoor shower... all add up to a wonderful, unique, ‘can’t wait to go back’ experience❣️
Thank you, Darci and Amanda❤️

Very chill and trusting host! The farm is definitely a great place for people who are a bit sick of city life and wants a break from technology, though rest assured you’ll have good cellular signal there. Lots of fireflies and really good vibe when it’s dark and you have the campfire up.

Summer Smiles and specifically the potting shed was simply fantastic, and both I and my partner had one of the most enjoyable and relaxing weekends of our lives. The hosts were the perfect balance of attentive and private, both giving us space and privacy while also providing a great experience and service. I’d recommend this location to anyone and can not wait to go back.

We really enjoyed our stay! Though it’s a “tiny” cabin, we never felt cramped and had all of the amenities we needed. The blacksmithing class was such an unique experience! The lasagna add-on was delicious and came with a ton of side goodies. The farm is well kept, perfect for a walk, and all of the animals on the farm are so friendly!

Our stay was wonderful! The tiny house was so cozy and warm. Darci was very helpful and made our stay a relaxing treat. We opted to add on the Welcome Platter which I would highly recommend. It had a ton of delicious local/homemade goodies and was perfect to share. We enjoyed getting to explore the farm in the morning with a guided tour from Sis, their pup. Loved being able to support and learn about their business and was happy to leave with a bag of treats from their shop. I really hope we can make our way back soon :)

Really nice property - this part of Pennsylvania is even more beautiful than the pictures show. The Potting Shed itself is small and cozy, a decent place to sleep and hang out. Sis, the farm dog, is very friendly and the place was dog friendly.

This was a perfect retreat for two people used to tent camping and wanting less effort than usual for a relaxing vacation. The cabin is adorable and had everything we wanted, and we loved the beautiful farm.

We absolutely LOVED staying at this property!! The cabin was so cute and well-furnished. It provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved sleeping in the loft and being able to wake up to the huge floor to ceiling windows and look out at the view. The outdoor shower is beautiful as well as such a nice convenience to have! The property itself was very well kept up and offered SO many activities. This property definitely had more activities than any other Hipcamp we have visited-they had animals (cows, goats, chickens, pigs) that you could interact with, bread, bee-keeping, and candle making workshops, and even honey tastings. One of our favorite things that they offer is farm to table meals right there on the property! They make the delicious meals from fresh vegetables, etc. that were grown right there on the farm and it is such a neat experience so definitely make sure to do that! Overall, this location was definitely our favorite Hipcamp we have stayed at so far and we highly recommend staying here!! :)

We had a great time staying at The Potting Shed. Darci was a wonderful host and the accommodations were better then expected. The interior is nicely decorated and stayed reasonably cool during the 2 muggy days we were there with the 2 ceiling fans. We spent much of our time with the doors open to enjoy the scenic view and twilight vista in the evening.
The highlight of our stay was opting for a Farm to Table dinner on both nights. Seriously... DO NOT MISS out on this offer. Darci is an amazing cook and every single item was delicious. I love lasagna and would rank her farm fresh lasagna as one of the best I've ever had. The dinner comes with a lot of food, so I would suggest skipping lunch to make sure you have room. Also, during our dinner, a chicken opted to sit next to us and keep us company.

The Summer Smiles Farm was beautiful and relaxing. The hosts were so nice and thoughtful. The meals that Darci cooked, as an additional option, were so delicious with ingredients grown there on the farm. The potting shed was private and comfortable.
