Deck of shine.

Very beautiful and peaceful. Loved the deck to catch some beautiful sunshine. Great host, he had led me to some beautiful hikes and super nice. I felt extremely safe being a single traveler. Very highly recommend if you're looking for safety, views and lots of beautiful land.

Fantastic spot. Ben is a great host and his farm is beautiful. Nothing like sleeping under the stars and waking up to pick strawberries

Honest review

Property and privacy were great. Directions to site once in the gate were not obvious. One of the first directions was to take a 180 degree turn right…..isn’t that a U-turn?

The Shaded Walnut

It was nice for what we needed. Lots of bees around and no shower as listed though so somewhat disappointing. The lookout platform was very cool though.

Trampoline and golden raspberries!

It was a very unique experience. There was a trampoline for the kids to jump on, and they got to pick their own golden raspberries. They loved it. It was nice walking around the farm. There was a lot of yellow jackets but a bug tent was really handy.
