FeatherStone Farm

After 4 years of living in a large house in the middle of town we decided try tiny living! We sold our house and bought and remodeled a 5th wheel camper and lived in the country with Emily's parents. During this time land down the road came up for sale and we decided this would be our perfect forever home! We realized we loved the tiny life so we renovated one section of the barn as our studio apartment and the rest is either shared with the sheep or used as the location for our barn market! The original tobacco section of the barn is estimated to be around 75-100 years old. Emily and her family have lived on this road for more than 70 years so we have lots of stories about this area! The farm also has what we call "The Tiny Cottage" located here. It's a small shoppe that is filled with hand made and USA made products we keep stocked year round. The trails on the farm were made by Jordan. He carefully mapped out each one to require as little disturbance to the trees as possible and he did it all with a rake and weedeater! We love our home and sharing it with others just makes it more fun living here! We work hard to take care of the land and animals we share it with. If you have any questions always feel free to ask! Otherwise we will do our best to let you have your privacy while you stay here.Learn more about this land:Enjoy a glamping experience on our 13 acre farm. You can wonder the trails etched through the fields and woods. Enjoy the stars from the comfort of the 16ft wide and 10.5 ft tall Star Gazer Lotus Bell Tent decorated in mid century furniture. Have a campfire or watch a movie projected on the inside of the tent. You can also meet our “farmily” that consists of ponies, sheep, chickens and a few other fur babies running around! They are friendly and full of personality! We also have a monthly market in the barn with a select few artisan vendors with a range of handcrafted goods. Come experience this quaint little place that we call FeatherStone Farm.*A few things to note: - We have barn markets and the occasional pop up at our farm. If you want to book your stay around these events feel free to message us. - There is no shower at the campsite. The site has a private porta-potty that is serviced weekly and a hand washing station outside. We provide a wash basin in the tent and water bottles are kept in the mini fridge. - Be prepared to walk to your campsite. In some seasons it may be possible to drive your car to the fenced area of the tent but usually the hay field is too grown up to do that. We provide a lantern at the tent but it's always a good idea to keep a spare handy in case you are coming or going after dark. -The bell tent has access to electric and we keep a mini fridge, snacks, a coffee maker, French press and even a mini waffle maker there for your convenience as well as a cast iron skillet and grill to go over the campfire for outdoor cooking. - While the fence is for your privacy please remember this site is at our home. Dogs running around, sheep grazing, and occasionally chickens free ranging should be expected. -We do have poison ivy on the property so be aware when going on the trails or if you decide to go off the paths in the field or woods.The tent has two heating options: electric space heater and Mr. Buddy propane heater. Mr. Buddy Propane heater MUST be turned OFF when sleeping as well as the propane tank its self. NEVER run the propane heater when sleeping. The heater does have safety features and there is a carbon monoxide detector and proper ventilation, but you can never be too cautious with gas heaters. Thank you!
