This magical 40-acre cultivated ecosystem will wrap around you and leave you enchanted. Enjoy this peaceful retreat site truly a place to rest and reconnect with the earth and yourself. We are closed from September 1st until May 1st but our BnB is open search for The Grand Room at Simplicity Sanctuary to stay on the land in the colder months. A great place to stop for the night but one day will not be enough to wander the grounds, drink a cup of hot tea from the herb garden, sit on a bench talking to ancient trees, walk the labyrinth, wander the sacred Grove, and camp under the stars. There's so much to see here from the rose and vegetable gardens to the orchards and sheep. Spend the morning sipping tea in the greenhouse, an afternoon walking the gardens, and an evening watching the moon and stars from the observatory platform. Take a tour or a workshop and learn to spin yarn from our Icelandic sheep. bring your knitting, bring friends, or just a book and spend a few days here on the land. Contact us about small gatherings and retreats We love to host groups. NOTE: This is a working farm we have animals, dirt, sticks, bugs, and poop, and lots of opportunities to "connect" with Nature. All of our amenities are shared spaces, designed to foster community. You will find good signs with clear communication here. All of our lodgings are off-grid with no electricity or running water. Water, electricity, and wifi are available in the kitchen, garden, cafe, and lounge areas. Please bring battery-operated lights, bedding, and a pillow, unless otherwise noted. We request that campers check in before 8 pm. Remember you are coming to someone's home, Please communicate if you are coming in late so we can accommodate you. We have tent camping, glamping, and cabins available from May to September. We also offer tours of the animals and gardens by arrangement. Amenities include a showerhouse, bathhouse, semi-commercial kitchen, library, cafe, fiber studio, yarn shop, and plenty of outdoor seating. Additionally, we have safe potable water, 2 portable toilets, a hand washing station, and two charcoal/wood barbeques available for your use.

Round House
The Round house is great. Cozy, clean, cute and comfortable. Kateen is a lovely host, Generous with her time in introducing us to her land and farm despite having lots of guest. Great spaces like a shared kitchen, gardens and nature walk. Loved the farm animals!!

Awesome stay on Kateen's incredibly charming farm. So lovely to interact with geese, ducks, and turkeys roaming the grounds, and to get the opportunity to pick some fresh produce for dinner. It was also fun to interact with other guests in the communal spaces.

Enjoyable time, some prominent cons
Overall went better than I had expected upon arrival. Site amenities were good, but could be better beings that they are provided. By this I mean the gas was so low on the stove that it took over an hour to boil water, fridges were set very high, hot water tank didn’t work and we weren’t told until arrival. I understand it’s a farm but there’s clear lack of minimal maintenance. I really enjoyed the tea options, gardens, greenhouses, decor. It was great being around animals although the ducks and turkeys will bite at you when you’re eating at the tables. The sites are okay but the family site photos should all be updated to show that there’s now a private yurt there and not much room for more than 1 tent, the only ground left is very uneven and full of duck poop, rake is provided though. Being able to collect flowers, herbs and the produce available was nice. I would probably have enjoyed my time better if I chose a cabin, yurt or camper. I would consider coming back as the surroundings and animals trump the bad here. It is close to the highway but you cannot hear any cars, I did hear a lot of gunshots so just FYI for anybody easily triggered** by that.

How to start this review, that is the question! Would I ever stay here again? No. Would I recommend it to my friend? No. Would I recommend it to my enemy? Absolutely. What an odd place. Not my cup of tea. The poultry having loud, loud sex made me reconsider all of my life choices thus far. Overall, a 1/10. Only a 1 and not a 0 because now I have a great story to tell.
