Firstly, Jocelyn is the most amazing, kind, and helpful woman. She did so much to make our wedding here perfect. And it was! Secondly, Jocelyn’s land and barn are unbelievably beautiful, we didn’t camp there but I can imagine it would be a perfect place to camp. Basically, Heaven Sent is really an accurate description of this place.

I loved spending the weekend at the barn. It was a quiet and peaceful time away from home. Directions were easy even arriving in the dark. Everything was as described and clean too. It was a nice balance between camping and glamping! Thank you Jocelyn for being a great host and welcoming me on arrival.

A wonderful place to camp!

We had a great stay at Jocelyn's property! It was a great little peace of land in a beautiful area. Great fire pit with a babbling brook right at the edge of the property to listen to. Owls hooting at night. Great night sky visibility. And nice to have some running water and a bathroom. Plus the barn (a couple slept in it but otherwise just nice to have in case a weather break is needed). Did some fishing in nearby streams and ponds. Hiked around in Diana's Pool. Visited a couple of farms. Jocelyn was very responsive and a pleasure to meet. We would be happy to come back here anytime.

Beautiful Property!

I brought a group of women to camp here for a weekend and we had a very comfortable, lovely stay. It rained, so we were glad to have the barn to hang out in for a while. We also brought tarps and canopies and there was plenty of room for us all. Hiking trails nearby. The property is beautiful and well kept, and the host was very welcoming to us. We had a great weekend!

Jocelyn’s place was the perfect getaway for our family. With two young children, we wanted a private space to try out camping, and we weren’t disappointed! Whether you’re tent camping or staying in the barn, it’s a great spot to enjoy some solitude by the fire and stare up at the night sky. She also met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property and offered to answer any questions we had. Can’t recommend her enough!
