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.

#4 Tree park

I found it very quiet and peaceful there. My stay was brief but well worth going a few miles from the highway for a rest while traveling.

A pleasant stay at the farm. My son dumbed the canoe while trying to save his fishing pole from going overboard after a fish tried to yank it out the canoe (do yourself a favor spend a few bucks on a floating dry bag). My son, his car keys. phone, fishing pole and tackle all ended up in the water, which brought the whole family out of the house trying to help. Long story, even though the owner was nice enough to let my son use the other canoe to search and lend him a magnet, keys are still out there and the fish escaped but the good news, the fishing pole was found!

The Best Place I Have Ever Camped!

My partner and I decided to go on a spontaneous last minute trip to hike some trails in Mohican and sight-see in the area and we absolutely LOVED staying here! We chose lakeside #6 and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous since it had been raining and would continue to rain overnight, however we had absolutely no problem getting in or out of the site! We even slept in the car and did not sink into the grass at all. James was the best host! He met us outside with the cutest dog named Toby & gave us an overview of the property and where to find everything we would need. Definitely a must to stay here if you’re looking for a wonderful retreat of peace and quiet! A bit of soft car noise and we could occasionally see a few headlights on the road nearby but nowhere enough to disturb sleep. There is about a 5 minute walk to the bathroom but the walk itself is so beautiful that I have absolutely no complaints. We will absolutely be back!!!
