Their directions to find the site were thorough and informative. Seeing the donkeys and piggies on the farm was great too! I picked up some fresh bratwurst, eggs and lard from the farm too to take home. They were so kind and made the stay a breeze. Sadly their farm was damaged in Helene but they have done a great job of restoring the land!"

The views and nature are breathtaking, water in the river is clean, the nights are starry, and above all nobody is bothering anyone.\n\nWe were hesitant to write this review because we loved the place so much and didn't want it to become crowded. However the hosts deserve the recognition for their efforts — this place is a hidden gem. People, please help preserving it."

They worked so hard to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Helene and the property was restored so beautifully.  We stayed with friends and our two children 4yr and 8yr.  All enjoyed the river access, walking around the gorgeous property and taking in the magnificent views!  If you’re an animal lover take the mini donkey farm tour.  Catherine had so much to share about their farm and the Mangalista pigs they raise. She is enthusiastic and passionate about everything going on at the farm! I highly recommend camping here!"
