Hi Moe and Mark, We loved meeting you both and staying on your land. We enjoyed the view of the water and using the chimnea. It was great using your place as a base to explore the area. Hope to see you again. Dave and Janet Conrad

Beautiful Pond and Space
This spot was beautiful with a pond and loud water feature. We arrived at night but still managed to set up with all the bugs and rain and whatnot (watch out for frogs!). I would recommend but maybe more for the spring or fall. There were a lot of bugs because of the pond and humidity. And watch out for goose poop. Overall gorgeous and the hosts were very accommodating and kind.

Great Hipcamp Spot, I'll be back!!
I had a great stay at Moe's Hipcamp - beautiful spot, lots of great hiking and swimming nearby, and the site was nicely mown and well drained, so no worries about getting stuck! I also picked and enjoyed some delicious wild black raspberries - they were excellent! I highly recommend this spot for people interested in visiting the area!

Very helpful with firewood, providing tables and chairs, and directions and recommendations around town! We felt welcomed to their space and it was a nice, quiet getaway for the weekend in MA.
