I don’t know about staying here
Did not want to have to do a review like this, but Tyler had been really nice about the concerns of the rain, but then I began to have a weird encounter with him. Asked me to send a picture of myself to him & then proceeded to send me inappropriate texts. Did not even stay here due to the texts. This me and my friend feel super uncomfortable.

Need to come again
This place is absolutely beautiful I hate that it rained me out so I was only able to stay one of the 2 nights planned.. It was awesome though & I definitely want to come back when I’m able to. Host Tyler was really nice & welcoming!
Primitive Farm/Ranch Camping
lovely location...
The site is lovely and quiet. We camped by the pond and the fall colors really hit the spot. When we arrived, Tyler was very pleasant and said to set up wherever we want, and pointed to the spots next to the pond as well as indicated that past the pond was a clearing in the woods that people also like to camp in. He also said to let him know if anything needed to be leveled and offered us firewood. We did not get a tour of the property or a guide to our spot like the description indicated.
On the third day it rained the entire day, so we left the site and drove around looking at the fall foliage. When we returned to the spot we had been parked on it looked ok, and our error, we did not get out and walk on the dirt. When we drove on it our van started to slide, so we attempted to back out, and unfortunately got stuck. I texted Tyler to asked if he had a way to pull us out. His response was "maybe, be back soon". In the meantime, my husband walked up to the barn, and one of the ranch hands came down and pulled us out with his pickup. I messaged Tyler back to let him know. A few minutes later he messaged me again and was basically yelling at us. "That road and damn better not be torn up, do y'all not have 4x4" (his listing does not indicate that 4x4 is ever necessary) "we have 15k tied up in fixing that road and I can't afford to fix it again, I hope y'all didn't attempt to drive on the dam of the pond" (no obvious dam, was never told there was a dam, or that there was a spot we shouldn't drive on). We asked if he could clarify where the damn was, because we didn't want to be where he didn't want us and explained that we had been attempting to park right where we had been for 2 days. He replied, "at this point it's too late and dark to try to move much, just wherever you can park will have to work” That was the last we heard from him. He never clarified where the dam was - we guessed it was the grass road/path that led to the clearing in the woods he had pointed out on day one, that people like to camp in. But if you can camp there, then you have to drive on the dam so... Anyway, we left the following morning with no damage to anything, a few tire tracks in the mud not near where we think the dam was. If no rain is in the forecast, it's a nice place. Unfortunately, since we didn't get the tour, we didn't know where to find the creek etc. that other people have commented on, our dogs would have loved that. The pond is nice, the horses are beautiful. Oh, and it's 38-44 minutes from the property to Falls Park in Greenville depending on traffic. I specifically asked this question before booking and was told 25 minutes.

Fantastic
Tyler was an amazing host. He was very polite and hospitable. He explained where everything was and said if we needed anything to feel free to contact him. There were some other people that were working on the property as well and they were also very hospitable and friendly. I would highly recommend coming to this location.

Great site right on the pond
Great spot! Kids loved the stocked pond and petting the horses.

A beautiful visit. The campsite was secluded, not far from town. I loved getting in the river and seeing the horses. Tyler was very helpful.
