Michael was very helpful and communicated well before my stay. They helped me find their property easier when I was arriving after sunset by turning on their vehicle’s hazard lights. They waited for me to arrived and welcomed me in their home which is so unexpected. They even offered for me to stay in their guest bedroom. However, my planned trip is an adventure goal of a lifetime to travel across US/ Canada and car camp. I had a peaceful night car camping at Michael’s property. I was able to parked my vehicle on their driveway which made it easier and closer to use the restroom in their home. Michael and Jan are gracious hosts and very kind people. They’ve offered to share 3 types of home cooked soups when I arrived, which I tasted and had small bowl of each. All were very delicious - my favorite was the beef and barley, and then the leek soup - soups made with produce from their garden vegetables cannot be beat. In the morning Jan brewed a fresh pot of coffee for me to enjoy! They really went out of their way to make me feel at home. Michael gave me a tour of their working garden and there are hens on the property as well. Winter veggies such as kale, Swiss chard, beets and some fava beans were abundant. Michael shared some of their produce including some garlic. I got an insight on their no-till gardening approach. Michael and Jan shared their stories on how they got started hosting and they are such beautiful people with warm souls. Thank you!

Wonderful hosts

Tent

Mike and Jan were some of the kindest and most generous people we have ever met. They made us breakfast with all farm grown ingredients and welcomed us into their home with open arms. Unfortunately our trip was cut short but they made the little time we did get to spend there special for us. Their hospitality is above and beyond! Thank you Mike and Jan! And Penny (the dog) too!

Just the best 🌻 🧄

Tent

Exceeded all expectations!! Mike and Jan welcomed us with a delicious summer feast for dinner. They were so accommodating and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We loved hearing their stories and wish our stay could’ve been longer. Thanks for the great company, juicy peaches, morning coffee, and the perfect place to pitch a tent.

Michael and Jan welcomed us into their home for dinner and breakfast. They made a big bonfire for us as well. They have many amazing stories to share and are friendly and welcoming people. They even sent us home with homegrown garlic cloves.

In the shade by the big garden :)

Tent · With kids

Mike & Jan went out of their way to make us feel at home, like staying as the guests of friends. We had a very relaxing experience, enjoyed learning about the garden, and all the homemade/home grown food that was so generously shared. I also loved hearing and seeing a variety of birds around us. We camped underneath the big tree out back which provided some nice shade. At the time we were there (early July), there were quite a few mosquitoes coming out in late evening, but they weren't noticeable during the day or early evening. We could largely avoid them by choosing judiciously when to go in the tent! Anyway, what a fun, interesting, and friendly place to stay.

Kind and Welcoming Hosts

Tent

Directions were clear. We received a tour of the homestead inside and out upon arrival. The host and hostess were welcoming and shared their home grown garlic as well as allowing us to pick unlimited berries. We were able to set up our tent anywhere we chose in an area. There were no other campers and we had good space. The local area had a farmers' market that the hostess took part in and we found hiking, swimming and entertainment nearby.
