This place was FANTASTIC! It was the perfect set up for a relaxing rustic trip! Mark and Bonnie were super responsive and very kind. If you are choosing between this place and someone else pick this one!!! It was close to mountain hikes and only and hour away from Freeport! 11/10

Amazing spot! Very thoughtfully done. Had everything we needed, so it made the stay so convenient for a weekend getaway. Our dogs were thrilled! Will definitely come back.

I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday, we had a blast. Mark and Bonnie were great hosts and made sure everything we wanted/needed was supplied, including a bouquet of flowers waiting for us upon arrival and games for rainy days. The location is quiet and private, with beautiful trails to the gardens and throughout the woods. The area was impressively clean as well! We had an amazing time and are definitely planning on coming back. We feel so lucky Bonnie and Mark chose to share their space with us.

Amazing Camping Spot

Amazing camp site and wonderful host. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was a wonderful experience and we all wished we could have stayed an extra night. Highly recommend.

Great spot!! Beautiful garden and spacious field. Mark and Bonnie were very helpful and kind. Glad to have the field for my dog to run around I just wish it was easier for him to roam around the campsite while on a long line. (Unfortunately there were too many trees in the middle of the site and he kept getting himself tangled). Mark and Bonnie have thought of everything; light, everything you need in a kitchen, instant coffee/tea, spices, stove, ECT. I didn't stay long enough to enjoy everything they have offered definitely need to come back.

Magical Treehouse-like Stay!

Amazing! If you are contemplating between two places, choose this one! Mark & Bonnie's space was magical, wonderfully curated, well cared for & an overall special place to retreat to. Pictures do not do this spot justice! Atop a small hill, all the structures and thoughtful amenities are within close proximity to one another, yet each feel like a destination in itself. We felt like we were on a giant treehouse, moving between wooden decks, on a bed of soft, dry pine needles. We appreciated the screened in porch area to play games, read and eat our meals. The sunken fire pit had various seating options from stones to logs to comfortable outdoor wooden chairs with cushions. The main tent sits atop a large deck built into trees with ample spots to sit, relax and connect. We appreciated all the thought that went into their covered kitchen space to prepare meals. Bonnie and Mark added special touches, were great communicators, a pleasure to chat with upon arrival, yet gave us the space we were seeking after check in. Their whole property was free to roam and explore from the nicely cared for loop trail to all their gardens. What a delight - really no need to seek another Hipcamp destination! But if you do want to leave, go no further than the local town pond you get access to, or if you want organic vegetables and raw milk products, head to Pasture Lane Farm Market in town or Nezenscot Farm in Turner for a local meal, drink or treat. You won't be disappointed with those stops.
