We loved our experience with Jon and his property! The silo cabin was great, the space around it was well maintained, and it had everything we needed for an elevated camping experience. There was even a bathroom 10-15 steps from the cabin. Jon also left fishing equipment for us to enjoy and a couple of canoes for us to use. The horses and cows nearby added to the positive experience. I highly recommend staying at this property!

The campsite was lovely and we definitely felt immersed in nature. We stayed in the silo during a heavy rain. It protected us from the rain but rain is naturally going to be loud when you’re inside a silo. We had two areas we felt could maybe be improved: one was the air mattress. Second they have showers but they are purely cold water. So it wasn’t quite glamping, more like elevated camping. It was still nice to get away and the scenery definitely left us feeling refreshed and away from the stress of the city. Be prepared to share your campsite with the occasional wayward cow (or an entire herd)…they were amusing and harmless.

A clean campsite with everything you could possibly need, even optional AC! Amazing views, lovely ponds, hiking, horseback riding, and farm animals. A perfect weekend getaway. Everyone was so kind. I plan to visit again soon.

Jon was an excellent, gracious host! The land and views are beautiful and it was a treat to see the horses and cows. We just so happened to stay during a butterfly hatching, which made the experience extra magical.
Because it was a hot weekend, he provided the air cooler for us and even helped us out when we forgot our pot for boiling water. He quickly replied to any and all texts, which made us feel extra supported during our stay.
Having a shower and toilet was extra luxurious if you’re used to camping and we took advantage of the running water by showering all the sweat and bug spray off at night. We did did go on a hike, and it was beautiful, and we were totally content just to hang by the pond and soak in the views, especially during the hot afternoons.
If you love to fish and/or ride horses, highly recommend! We ran into the property owner’s son on a hike and they had just caught a big bass.
10/10 would recommend!
