The Guinea farm is 18 acres of feild and forest on the rural middle pennensula. Only 1 mile from 2 separate secluded beaches and a boat launch. There is verly little traffic or light polution here, nature is at your fingertips. Come visit the farm and experience agrotourism at it's finest. Pick your own veggies in the community garden and meet the Guinea fowl! Enjoy the windernes and learn about the local ecosystem here on the middle pennensula. There are 3 sites spaced out across the 18 acres set apart for privacy. Wisteria is a primative site closer to the entrance gate. Trilogy is a suspended tree tent in the pines 700' beyond that and seperated by dense forest. Stargazer Tiny cabin is an offgrid rustic camping cabin on the back side of the property. Each site is surronded by several acres of forest and close to the edge of a large feild. There are romaing guinea fowl that may come make a very loud appearance as they canvas the property eating bugs. Deer, Turkeys, Bald Eagles, foxes, and other wildlife are common guests also. Mid-summer is what I call frog season, Tree frogs are abundant and provide a wonderful soundtrack. There are free to use bicycles, an axe throwing board, and cornhole boards available. 4 miles from shopping and dining in Mathews Virginia, 15 miles to Gwynn Island. Gwynn's Island is an island located in the Chesapeake Bay off of Virginia's Middle Peninsula. The island is located in the northeast part of Mathews County, south of the mouth of the Piankatank River. It is connected to the rest of the county by a swing bridge over Milford Haven.

A Truly Wonderful Experience

Stargazer Tiny Cabin

My wife and I had a absolutely wonderful time staying at the Stargazer Cabin. Ian was very attentive and has truly thought of everything when he built this cabin. We had no problems with the solar power even though it was cloudy and we were nice and warm all night thanks to the diesel heater. The kitchen was fully equipped with any cookware you would need and we also did a little cooking over the fire pit as well. We definitely plan on coming back with some friends. Thanks for a great time, Ian!

Wisteria Treehouse

This was such a nice experience. We ended up booking on a very cold night and Ian went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable. The guinea hens, chickens, and turkeys were fun to see and learn about as well. Very close to the beach which was quiet and beautiful on a cold December morning!

Peaceful and Perfect for Dogs

Stargazer Tiny Cabin

Cozy cabin perfect for an outdoor getaway without completely roughing it. Cabin has running water and solar powered electricity. There is a composting toilet and propane heated, outdoor shower next to the cabin. Fire pit and picnic table also adjacent to the cabin. Plenty of room for dogs to roam and explore. Walking distance to two quiet beaches (dogs allowed off leash). Stores within a 10 minute drive. I stayed in low 40s/high 30s temps and it was quite pleasant. The privacy and solitude were lovely, without being in the boonies. The host, Ian, is on site and extremely accommodating, communicative and flexible, which made for a wonderful stay! Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

Great site!

Trilogy (blocked for Improvements)

Ian was absolutely amazing with communication! He replied quickly and thoroughly explained or answered questions. He let us pick from his garden. The Trilogy site was smaller than I expected, but we still fit two 6 person tents inside. There as enough parking for at least 4 cars. (Ian did tell us we could use the open land beside our site.) The only bummer was the bikes were either broken or had flat tires. And the picnic screen house had a lot of rips. The port-o-potty was about 100 yards away. We used a Lowe’s bucket in the shower for the ladies to go to the bathroom during the night.

Wisteria Treehouse

Our recent camping trip was a truly special experience! The land we rented was stunning, and our campsite was set up right next to a beautiful treehouse that the owner built himself. The treehouse added such a unique charm to the property, and he was kind enough to allow us to explore his land. My kids loved every minute of it. The natural setting was perfect, and the owner’s friendly Guinea fowl added a fun, unexpected element to our stay. Overall just a perfect mix of peaceful surroundings and touch of adventure—an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend for families and nature lovers alike.
