What a beautiful place! Jeremy was such a wonderful host and it is a magical place. First thing when we got there, Jeremy handed me a lamb that was just born that day! What a dream! We ate fresh eggs for breakfast that we gathered ourselves from the chicken coop, skipped rocks and kayaked on the lake, and pet all the horses and sweet dogs. We were sad to leave.

A truly unique property!
This was a perfect little get away! It’s perfect if you don’t want to tent camp but you also don’t want to rent a huge cabin. The view of the lake from the tree house is breath taking and it’s amazing to be surrounded by so many animals. Their dogs were super friendly and respectful. We loved getting to pick fresh eggs from their chicken coup as well. There is a full outdoor kitchen with a mini fridge and a port-a-potty. It is very steep getting to and from the campsite and lake, so be mindful of what car you bring and if you have any issues with mobility, especially if it’s been wet out. If you don’t want to sit all day at camp there are so many amazing wineries nearby to visit. We had a truly spectacular time here and are ready to plan our next trip! Huge thank you to the amazing host for being so accommodating and friendly! We loved our stay here.

Loved the treehouse!
Took my large family glamping in the tree house and loved it! We brought sleeping pads and sleeping bags and we were about to for 2 adults and 5 kids in the treehouse. Two of our kids are teenagers, so basically adult sized. Jeremy's farm is on a hillside, so be prepared for that. We liked hiking down to the lake to go kayaking. It's a bit of a hike back up to the treehouse, but we didn't mind. There was a heater inside the treehouse, which was nice since it was rainy and cool overnight. The sunrises over the lake were beautiful, as was the full moon rising over the lake. We went kayaking in the moonlight one night, and it was so peaceful. Kids loves seeing all the animals (goats, sheep, chickens, horses), and they even found some of the goats to be playful. There was a kitchen nearby the treehouse that had a fridge and a sink with running water. There was also a grill, stovetop burner, and a griddle that made cooking easy. There were also plenty of pans, plates, cups, and utensils. The kids were able to get fresh eggs from the chickens every morning. The restrooms were porta-potties. They were removed enough to not worry about, but close enough to be convenient. And they actually didn't smell hardly at all, which is always a bonus. Host, Jeremy, was great at communicating with us. He and his family were warm and personable. We loved our 3 day weekend autumn getaway. We're already trying to figure out a time to come back in warmer weather so we can swim in the lake.

A wonderful time!!
This was SUCH a wonderful experience. Surrounded by nature, the sweetest animals, a gorgeous lake you can kayak on with the provided kayaks, fresh eggs you can pull straight from the coop…seriously, paradise. Would love to return.
