The view coming in to our farm.  1 mile driveway.  

A great view of the rolling hills on one of our hiking trails.

Pond on the property for use when no one is renting that tent site.  Plenty of fish.

Many hiking trails on the property where you can see some amazing wildlife and take awesome photos.  I made this bridge myself.

Carolzy’s Secret Gardens

Twenty plus years ago, there was an ad in the paper listing ten acres for sale in Old Church. It has always been a special place and so the adventure began... We built the house and ever since, have been adding gardens, paths, trails, benches, swings and generally giving back the love to the land for the pleasure it has provided. As a result, there is wildlife and birds galore. Hummingbirds will delight you as will the tree frogs and lizard frogs at the frog pond canoe. Wander down the path to our first vegetable garden location which is now a prime spot for pitching a tent or just hanging out and watching for deer, turkeys, or turtles. Depending on the season, you can enjoy blooming azaleas, coneflowers, crepe myrtles or zinnias. This is a super woodland that will give you every opportunity to relax and wonder at the beauty of nature. The RV site is close to the house and we will be right here should you need us.

The main house (which Carol also rents out as an airbnb)!

Carol was kind enough to pose for a photo!

Carol's place is a certified Monarch way-station! 

Each campsite was equipped with chairs, a fire pit and trash can

Gratitude at the Mill Pond

In 1831 formerly Northern's Mill had an old mill house, dwelling house, outbuildings, mill pond and water courses with about 31 acres and was bought for an enormous amount of
$10.00!

At the working mill the owner's wife baked pies for the workers to enjoy
while they waited for their ground grains (most likely corn, soybeans and wheat).

The pond is also recognized as
Courtney Mill Pond and Kissinger Mill Pond.
 Fires in the 1980's have claimed the building creating a perfect place for you to enjoy nature outside.

Learn more about this land:

Fresh and salt water surrounds a birding, fishing paradise with 5 acres to explore. Bald Eagles are a common siting. We offer a primitive camping experience in the heart of the Northern Neck.  The road is washed out and fresh water pond mostly drained.  You will access from Mundy Point Road. This historical site had a working Mill built in the early 1800's. Please check out my friend's place nearby at Callao Brewery and Rivah Vineyards at the Grove!  Grab some fresh local veggies from one of the Amish stands and don't forget your tackle and bait at RW's.

Camp 1 has the most room for car camping and groups close to the road and overlooking the pond.

Camp 2 is a short hike to a private knoll overlooking the grassy marsh of Mill Creek, this is tidal water that flows to the Potomac.

Welcome to Gratitude!
