We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.

Beautiful property! We absolutely loved how kind the owners were to us, so we felt right at home. All the sites were in great locations! Also Rusty was, of course, the cutest 🐮

Beautiful!

Beautiful space! I loved camping by a brook. Jay was very helpful and responsive. Our pets were welcomed. The site had a little store to buy items you might have forgotten. We were able to have a relaxing weekend seeing the eclipse :)

Secluded stay with flowing water

I had a great stay here. It was my first hipcamp experience. Jay was a very kind and welcoming host. There was farm honey and eggs and necessities for sale. Camp site #2 was perfect for me and my dog. It is a kindof triangular site, with water flowing on two sides. Jay used his trailer to bring my gear to and from the site, the cars are parked by the road. It is not a long walk, so I was able to go back for anything I left in my car. The property is beautiful, with striking sunsets and sunrises. There were no sounds of traffic, and the other camp sites are placed thoughtfully with a lot of space and privacy between. I would absolutely stay again.
