Follow us on Instagram @shitefootfarms As always we are excited and can't wait to share our place with you! We are a small farmette with goats, chickens, ducks, fruits, veggies, and Irish Wolfhounds. The 1.3 acre parcel across the street from the house and farm has a forested peninsula that the A-frame is located on. Our street ends in a small stream that continues to separate the farmstead from the A-frame site. Come stay in our tiny rustic A frame cabin built of mostly reclaimed materials. Enjoy being across the stream and over the bridge from the main house on a private peninsula. Enjoy the privacy of a "single site" camp! Use the fire pit, grill, outdoor wood stove, single burner butane stove or umm the bathroom :) without having to leave your site! Please be aware we are in town and you may hear road noise, lawn mowers, dogs, ect. You may also see and hear wildlife ex; deer, beavers, ducks, muskrats, rabbits, geese, foxes, and coyotes. We encourage native plants and work to provide a sanctuary for many threatened bird species. The cabin is 100sq. feet with sloping interior walls the flip up side wall is permanently open and screened in. There is no running water or electricity so unplug and unwind. A place to plug in and the water spigot a short stroll from your cabin in the driveway The cabin has a a full size mattress with sheets, blankets, throws and pillows. Lanterns, cooking utensils, camp mugs and camp coffee pot are provided. Please request the cast iron skillet and butane burner, it will not be in the cabin if you do not ask for it. You are also welcome to set up your own tent. Please note cleared space is limited and the tent should be a 1-3 person smaller tent. Outside on the deck are tiki torches, woodstove and bistro table. There is a hammock, picnic table, and 2 sets of outdoor chairs at your site. We do not have a swimming hole but the town beach is 5 minutes away and requires a day pass. If you forget something you are a short walk to Cumbies, and several farms, bakeries and a large grocer are a very short drive away. Venture farther (10 minutes) to one of the nearby hiking trails. We are within 15 minutes of the Blackstone Gorge, Southern New England Trunkline Trail, Cornier Woods, Franklin State Forest, Wojcik Farm, Cook's Valley Farm, the New England Bonsai Museum, Diamond Hill Vineyards, Caroline's Cannabis, Shire Conservation Area, New England Country Club, and many stables.

A wonderful getaway!

My stay at the little A frame was just what I needed. Well appointed with lots of details and very welcoming and cozy! Jae was a kind and friendly host. I was lucky enough to be there during October so I could add on a special card reading with Jae which was wonderful. The site itself is quite and private but super close to gas stations, wine stores and even some excellent Thai food! Meeting Jae’s beautiful dogs was the icing on the cake. I’m sure that I will be back next year and this time I will not forget my headlamp:) Thanks to Jae for an experience I will not soon forget.

💜☪️💜🍁Must not miss this spot 🍁

What went well? Everything from the second we arrived. Host was laid back and encouraged us to do the same. Her amazing personality makes you feel welcomed. I’ve met a couple grouchy hosts. She was the BEST! My boyfriend and were looking for a romantic atmosphere and her site was magical. Everything from utensils, water, clean bathroom, and the A-Frame. Bathroom was very close which is important for someone like me (medical issues). Privacy completely, which we love. The lights at Night are peaceful and again magical. The bed was clean, sheets so white and been taken care of. The bed felt better than a Hilton hotel! No joke. Beautiful look out on view of the water. The A-Frame is well taken care of. I was not scared of critters while sleeping. We will be back. By far the best host and best Hipcamp I’ve visited with privacy and romance if that’s what you’re looking for. First time taking my boyfriend to a Hipcamp and now his sold 🙂 P.s Fall was an amazing time to come. 🍁 leafs changing and surrounded us with its beauty. Thank you 🙏 again we both appreciated it and came at a time where we needed a break. Came from CT well worth the drive. 💜☪️💜My crystals are fully charged thanks to the beauty and Good vibes.

Cute little hidden gem! A welcoming private space, tucked into a suburban town. The A-frame was the perfect size for 3 girls and two dogs. Jae had it fully stocked with everything you could need for a comfortable and convenient escape.

We spent the night in the the AFrame and had a wonderful time. We brought our own fire wood and our host provided a propane stove that we utilized for cooking dinner and breakfast. You truly feel secluded even though you are minutes from many stores. A highlight was watching the moon move through the sky while lying in bed and eating breakfast on the deck by the water. This is similar to rustic camping with the outhouse and open sleeping quarters- everything was clean and we were pleased with what was provided. We also appreciated that our host took the time to look up and provide us with information on the area and activities to do.
