Canpers! We have had a great fall season! the leaves are starting with displays of outrageous color. This lakefront farm is a very special spiritual location. Listen to the night life in the woods and loons on the lake. Fall time- the acorns are falling:) The farm animals are gone now, but there remains a huge barn and outbuildings. Enjoy observing old time architecture! Room for soccer too! Monet tight? We are open to a refund of $20 a day for an hour for farm chores. Chores like mending fences, cutting vegetation, collecting the harvest from the earth, etc. Pay in full thru hipcamp, then we can arrange a task per interest and capabilities!! We're almost seventy now -getting harder to keep things up, ya know! need lots of oak limbs peeled off the bark:)

The Duplex in the Woods

I enjoyed the kind hosts, the private natural setting and ability to make a fire. Very easy to find.

Welcome ! Pioneer Farm @ Fish Lake

Such a joy!

Nancy's land was absolutely magical. From the stunning art in the studio (bought a fabulous pair of earrings) to the beauty that was the lake. My friend and I felt so welcomed and safe to explore and enjoy their property! I absolutely recommend a stay here.

The LAV & LOUNGE

Nancy & Kal are amazing people, very gracious & welcoming hosts. Their property is lovely & well maintained. Kal's studio is anazing. The camper needs a lil bit of TLC though, no working shower or locking front door. The fridge did work and the toilet was usable & we were provided a fan for the heat. Also, the dock & lake is across the street from the site, it is not situated by the site itself as we originally thought & was definitely not a swimming area. But there was a nice beach on Fish lake itself about a 3 minute drive away. Other than that, my kiddos enjoyed it & wanted to stay another night but due to unforseen circumstances we sadly could not stay. Thank you.

The LAV & LOUNGE

Had a great night staying at the farm. Lovely farm and lovely people. Nice to be able to walk to the beach down the road. Slept in the small Rv. Nice to have shelter when the rain showed up. Beautiful large tree helped create some shade and really nice to have a fire pit and small table to cook on. Over all a great evening, close to the cities. Would definitely recommend.

The LAV & LOUNGE

Private, very basic.

It depends completely on what one is looking for. This place is very basic. The gas stove does not work, nor does the ac, but the lights and outlets do, and there is a working fridge with small freezer. The toilet is a "pour your own flush." The bed is quite narrow for 2 older adults. The mattress is not comfy, which we did not think of until we were actually laying on it and it felt like it was too late to be seeing if there might be some kind of topper. The hosts are pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed the frogs and toads that hop about and under the trailer as well as the loon and other bird calls, and the privacy. The fire pit is lovely and was our favorite spot. We were only there for one night, so did not get a chance to tour the interesting historical farm buildings. So all in all I would say it was okay in some ways and lovely in others.
