Fruitdale Farm

Come stay at our little sustainable farmstead amid the beautiful rolling hills of southern Ohio!

Our peaceful 20 acres has a good mix of woods, wild meadows and maintained cleared areas as well as a small pond, all of which can be explored via our nature trail.  Enjoy the sounds of nature and an incredible night sky.

Farm fresh eggs and fresh produce are available for purchase during the growing season and firewood is available all year round.

There is also a wonderful sauna on the property that can be reserved.

Great hiking, kayaking, biking, birding, fishing, swimming, and disc-golfing opportunities just a few miles away at Paint Creek State Park and the Highland Nature Sanctuary.  Amish country is also just 15 minutes away with a great bakery, markets and greenhouses.  This area is home to an impressive network of ancient earthworks including the world famous Serpent Mound.

Our accommodations range from primitive tent-camping to "glamping" in one of our tiny off-grid cabins.

The sites are spaced out for privacy and each site offers a private picnic table and fire pit.  There are two shared privies/outhouses which have basic composting toilets.  A grassy parking area is provided near the road, however, ALL SITES ARE WALK-IN ONLY.

Greenfield (5 miles north) is the nearest town and has two grocery stores, restaurants, a bar, hardware, gas, etc.  Bainbridge (7 miles south) has gas, hardware, a couple of restaurants, dollar store, amish businesses, etc.

The screened gazebo kitchen is a lovely place to prepare a meal and is stocked with just about everything you'd need.

West Wind Stables

We have owned this farm for the past 20 years, it consists of farm land, pasture and some wooded areas. Lots of wildlife around, and few lights to distract from the stars at night! We are close to several small Ohio towns, including Indian Lake. Plenty of eating and shopping options within minutes.

Fire area, bring in your own wood, or we can provide for a small fee!

Most of the views are of surrounding farm ground. 

We have constructed a little outbuilding with a camp shower and camping toilet for campers use.

We usually have around 20 horses at a time. Unfortunately, no riding, most of these horses are here due to health or behavioral issues we are working on.

Cabin and Company (RV/Campers only)

Our beautiful 1800’s cabin was moved to the property in the 1970’s by a former neighbor who owned the property at the time. The same neighbor also had a historic train depot moved to the property where she sold antiques out of for several years. It is not sure what the cabin was used for at that time but it certainly added charm to the antique store property. When we acquired the property years later, the cabin was in need of work. It sat for a few years until we decided to restore this lovely cabin back to it’s beautiful charm and character. Jim spent a couple years on the project working in his free time and added the porch using old wood in keeping with the natural look and feel of the cabin as well as some interior areas. Upon completion, we opened the cabin as a gift shop selling unique items including antiques, primitives and decor for a few years. We decided to transition the cabin into a place of retreat for traveling guests and still keep some of the goods we sold in the shop available for purchase. We hope that you find the cabin and property a place of peace and tranquility and will want to return. Whether passing through for a night or a few days stay, you’re always welcome in our neck of the woods.
