Pleasant Valley Farm was originally a working farm with a two-story farmhouse and traditional bank barn, built in the late 1800s. The massive timbers and joinery are constant reminders of the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. Jim and Kathy Grogg purchased Pleasant Valley Farm in 1994 and not only updated the house and barn, but also expanded the lake to its current 13 acres. The large 144-year-old, 2736-square-foot barn is now available for special occasions such as weddings, receptions, birthdays, and reunions.

#8 Pine tree

Jim's place was super cute! Our site (site #8) was really close to the home, but we still felt like we had privacy. We also felt super welcome to explore the land and come and go as we pleased. We stayed on a cold night and have a fully sheltered restroom so close to the site was lovely. We'd definitely stay here again!

#6 Lake side

Highly recommend

Incredibly beautiful property. Very friendly and accommodating host. We will definitely be back! #6 site was very private and right on the lake. Beautiful trail around the rest of the campsites to take a walk. Can’t recommend enough!

#8 Pine tree

Beautiful fall stay

This farm is a beautiful place to unwind and just enjoy the peace and quiet. James was a very kind and excellent host. As well as a really nice conversationalist to “chew the fat” with. The pond is absolutely beautiful. Nice trails to walk thru in the woods and if you have a well behaved puppy they can run free. Our dog loved it there. It’s also a few miles down the road from Malabar Farms, a must visit farm. We stayed on site 8 with our 20’ travel trailer. I would recommend site 1,6, 9. for bigger trailers. Small Overland trailers will have no problem with any of the camp sites. Some of the sites were a tight squeeze to get to on the drive leading uphill to the sites. Site 8 I probably should’ve never been on. Lol However, I was careful but did put a mild scratch on the trailer from a tree limb squeezing up the drive to the spot, it will bluff out. Then you have to go down a paster at a 3% grade before you can settle in. Site 8 is a nice site with big pines. Great for tents and hammocks because of the many trees.
