Please be sure to look through the photos and add any amenities you would like to enjoy during your stay.The spaceThe campsite is an all-weather tent in a half-acre field. There are no other tents or sites in close proximity. The farm is visible from this tent.This site features a memory foam queen bed, and a full size futon.This tent is 1/4 mile from the pond, barn, and bath house, and isn't your best choice if you want to be close to indoor plumbing and the farm. This tent, will offer a little road noise, but it's still tolerable. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to choose the secluded tent located in the back of the property.The tent does not have power, but there are solar lights that will kick on at night and last until early morning. Additional camp lanterns are included at no additional charge. There is a private patio area with a fire pit. Fire wood is available to purchase. If you wish to collect any wood or sticks on the property, please do so. This will help our clean up efforts and save you some money as well! We do strictly ask that you do not bring firewood from another location. we do not want to risk spreading any diseases to the existing ecosystem that aren't already here. There are beautiful hemlock trees on the property, and these trees are part of a very delicate ecosystem in this area. These trees are at risk, and we take this very seriously.There is a bath house with power and a hot shower located 1/4 mile from this site. Most guests prefer to drive to the barn and bath house. A composting toilet is provided near the tent for convenience. If you prefer indoor plumbing, you are welcome to use the restroom located inside the barn or bathhouse.please be aware while this is GLAMPING, it is still a somewhat PRIMITIVE camping experience. the barn kitchen is available for use as well for cooking and storing food. Again, be aware that this is a shared space. Please label your items with a marker provided on the fridge if you wish to use the fridge.We are a safe space for any guest regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. No one is discriminated against here as long as they are respectful to house rules, and other guests.Guest accessThe barn is a shared space where guests have access to the restroom and the kitchen. Utensils and cookware is available as well, please wash after use.Label items accordingly as to not mix them with other guests a black marker is provided for labeling. feel free to say hello to our farm animals but be aware that guests are not permitted to access the animals without supervision. Farm tours are available upon request at $25/person.There is not easy access to the barn from this tent, so driving to the barn would probably be your preferred mode of transportation.Other things to noteIf you wish to add on any amenities such as firewood or propane heat, please give us a 24 hour notice.Pets are restricted to less than 35 pounds and must be leashed at all times. Proof of rabies vaccine is required before booking. Anyone who brings an animal into the site, and cannot show proof of rabies vaccine, will be asked to leave immediately and will forfeit their rental. For Biosecurity measures, pets are only allowed at designated pet areas.Due to our location in the forest, we must use the protection of a livestock guardian on our farm to protect from predators. Unfortunately, our guardian dog may see your pet as a threat. While it is our priority to keep our guardian contained with the livestock, we cannot always trust the fencing as it does fail at times. We cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your eyes on your pet at all times. If you choose to bring your pet, you do so at your own risk. Our guardian is extremely friendly and will not be a threat to humans, and is typically contained with the livestock, but sometimes can get loose.
