We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Buckeye and Lexi can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There's also Turk the turkey and his flock of chickens. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.

Jay and Heather were so kind and welcoming! Their property was beautiful AND hanging out with Rusty the cow and Lexy the mini horse was a treat. We will be back!

This was the perfect quick getaway for my golden retriever and me! We just wanted to get away from it all for a couple nights and since it was so short and last minute, decided to car camp instead of setting up a tent. Jay responded very quickly that they could accommodate that! We loved our peaceful little nook. Jay checked in on us, but mostly just let us be, which is exactly what we wanted. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a great spot! My kids loved playing in the nearby stream. Our host was kind, communicative, and considerate. Will likely be back!

The wonders of Rusty the cow!
We had so much fun visiting this farm and camping. The hosts were so welcoming and couldn’t have been kinder for our first time using Hipcamp. Jay was so generous and offered produce they were growing to us. We were able to kayak, see some cool farm animals, and relax at a private campsite. The bugs weren’t bad even next to a creek. We were able to get firewood on sight and they even helped us out with water. I would highly recommend camping here if you want kind hosts and a chill campsite. Rusty the cow is really sweet too, and we were able to give him lots of love in the morning before we left.

Had a wonderful time! Sites were spaced out and secluded. Jay and his wife were very helpful with anything we needed. If your looking for a secluded quiet spot this it. The place would be great for groups that still wanted a little space between camps! Great fishing in the acre pond!

Jay and Heather were fantastic hosts, quick to respond and accomodating! The site and whole area were well tended, clean and peaceful. Lots of various options for campers of all skills and amenity preferences, check them all out. Would highly recommend anyone to try it out.
