Guest access
↟ The entire forest is shared among all of us and is yours to explore — wander the trails at any time.

● Cabin East and the immediate backyard is your private off-grid oasis to enjoy; shower in the forest, relax in the hammock and read a book on the deck at your own pace
● Picking fruit on the homestead is done from 8-10AM

Other things to note
↟ Our small hobby farm is new and continues to grow just as our skills and interests do. Currently, we have 3 large dogs (danniff, great dane and a golden labrador retriever), 3 cats (that are too pretty to get hurt outside), 18 chickens and a courageous rooster. Our projects this year include beekeeping, goats and alpacas

● Wildlife is part of the experience here; we all live in harmony together
● Cabin has cell reception but no wifi (a true digital detox)
● We look to nature and follow her rhythms (for sleep, gardening, indoor lighting, mindful showers and power usage, foraging and harvesting)
● Just a heads-up that hunting season is from Nov 2-15 which may affect noise levels; wear bright clothing when outside during these days
