Pioneer Farm on Fish Lake

Canpers!  We have added one more pop up camper for this Memorial Day weekend !   First one gets it! 
  This lakefront farm is a very special spiritual location.   Listen to the night life in the woods and loons on the lake.   Fall time- the acorns are falling:)

BEAT the HEAT at the LAKE!

The farm animals are gone now, but there remains a huge barn and outbuildings. Enjoy observing old time architecture!
  Room for soccer too!

Monet tight?  We are open to a refund of $20 a day for an hour for farm chores.  Chores like mending fences, cutting vegetation, collecting the harvest from the earth, etc.  Pay in full thru hipcamp, then we can arrange a task per interest and capabilities!!   We're almost seventy now -getting harder to keep things up, ya know!    need lots of oak limbs peeled off the bark:)

Awesome cozy camper with water and electricity

The lake was a perfect mid-day cooldown spot

Spirits of the Forest

How we ended up in Knife Lake Township on 81 acres of forested land. 

We began looking for land in late fall of 1996.

 After several months of searching, we happened upon a tiny newspaper ad for 81 acres of land described as "Beautiful, secluded, mature hardwoods, tall pines w/creek & beaver pond, many gd bldg sites & great hunting". We toured the property, covered in almost two feet of snow, on a snowmobile in January 1997 and fell in love with it. 

We have been stewards of this piece of land for 25 years and are still enamored of its beauty and diversity. We are lulled to sleep by the sounds of owls and bullfrogs and the distant yipping of coyotes. Spring through fall we are often awakened by the rattling, honking of sandhill cranes and a wide variety of bird songs. Besides deer and lots of small critters, we've seen bear, bobcat, rafters of turkeys, quail, grouse, pheasant, owls, hawks and eagles. The sky, on a clear night, is breathtaking. 

We have always visualized sharing the land with others, so come and immerse yourself in this bountiful space.

A short, drivable trail to the yurt grounds.

Plenty of private space to relax in or invite other friends and family to pitch a tent for a small additional fee!
