Matt's campsite is a 10 out of 10 stay. It's very private with lots of land to explore. The wildlife and birds are amazing! This is also a great spot to bring your puppers so they can run off leash. Thanks Matt for being such a great steward of the land. We'll definitely be back. 😃

My dog and I loved this property so much! We had no trouble finding the entrance thanks to the excellent directions including a photo. Matt also sent us a history of the property with native plants and wildlife we might see and a map of the trails. That was a special touch. It’s very private and relaxing with lovely little hiking trails that are well marked. We even saw some wild turkeys in the woods and heard coyotes the second night! Matt was very friendly and came down to check on us when we heard some gun shots from the neighbour. It didn’t last long and my dog didn’t seem too upset about it but it was very thoughtful of Matt to make sure we were still happy. The property is clean and tidy with homemade benches along the trails and by the fire pit. This is the perfect place to get away from the city without having to drive hours on the highway to get there.

Beautiful location - close enough to a city to get the essentials but far enough away to be in nature. Matt and his family were so kind and responsive. We couldn't say enough nice things about this site and the hosts!

Some friends and I went camping on Matt’s land! It was beautiful to be so close to the flower field :) I recommend! I was able to buy wood and fire starter at the time of purchase for my stay and that was very convenient. You can tell a lot of love and care goes into the property. I would definitely go back! It felt private and the right kind of vibe for old friends catching up around the fire.
