A little time in the Chicken Coop

Great little place to stay and not worry about a tent, firewood or the weather. Would definitely plan on returning.

This was a neat last minute find - especially when so many places are booked this time in October! The coop was super cool , as chicken lovers ourselves, we appreciated it. Site was nice and very picturesque by the little creek. The grill was also a huge plus. Will say , do not expect to have any service and plan ahead ideas and places , (but we enjoyed a nice place to unplug) . Only complaint is the porta potty smelled like it had genuinely never been serviced, and felt like a chemical / biohazard. And we have used some really bad porta potties as runners… but this one was basically impossible to go in. Other than that , was a lovely stay and we would visit again. Such a beautiful place !

I am SO SORRY for the experience you had concerning the Porta-Jon! I was at that time, trying to get that situation resolved, and actually thought it had been. Since then, and before you posted your review, I have changed companies for service with Porta-Jons and expressed my total dissatisfaction with their service. I also forwarded your review to this company. We have always made sure that our facilities were clean and accessible and even had reviews that reflected that. We value all legitimate reviews, good or bad, as they help us to assure you of a positive experience. Again, my sincere apology for that aspect of your stay. I also thank you for your gracious comments concerning the rest of your visit and assure you that you are welcome back anytime and that the situation has been resolved. Scott

Quaint little getaway

Arriving after dark was a little spooky but the check in directions made it easy to find and get in. The hammock was comfy brought great relaxation. I quite enjoyed the sounds of nature, farm animals, and the creek out back.

Convenient, clean, and great setting

Clean bathroom (portable) but did not use shower which I heard was decent. Great shaded spot by a babbling Brook. Only negative was noise from farm animals on adjacent property that perhaps some ear plugs would take care of.

Backyard camping at it's finest

We stayed in site 4 with our little pop up camper. It was perfect... and by perfect I mean we were able to pull right in and pull right out (no backing in to a tight space in the dark). The sites are close together and it's not glamorous, but it checked all of our boxes for ease of access and convenience to mountain biking!

Had a great stay!

We stayed on a cold spring morning. Host was extremely accommodating and communication was excellent. The sites are decent and along a stream near a farm. We were the only couple staying when we were there but could see that it could be a little close to other campers if all sites were full. We pretty much just slept there and didn't spend much time during the day, but would definitely stay again.
