BATHROOM There is a very clean porta potty nearby for the bathroom. OUTDOOR COLD SHOWER We have an outdoor shower for your convenience. NOTE: COLD WATER ONLY. It's not glamorous by any means, but it works! You can also swim in the pond or nearby beautiful Hart Creek to cool down or rinse off. We provide towels! (PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The shower is not available during the winter due to freezing temperatures that make the shower inoperable.) WILDLIFE Warmer months you'll surely encounter some of the resident tree frogs, birds, peregrine falcon, bald eagles, worms, Gary the groundhog, possums, snakes, armadillos, insects, dragon flies, bumblebees, lightning bugs, deer, wild flowers, trees, grass, turtles, fish and celebrity Justin Beaver. POND We have a small pond on the farm. As it is fed by both rain and a little spring, the water level depends on how much rain we've gotten - if we've gotten a lot of rain and there isn't a lot of duckweed growing, you can enjoy a good swim! You can also swim in the nearby beautiful Hart Creek (it also runs on our property) to cool down or rinse off. We provide towels. FISHING We also invite you to fish in our pond. You are welcome to keep and eat any fish that you like, with the exception of all bass under 12 inches. Please be sure to release these until they get to breeding age in order to help us ensure the healthiness of our pond. Anything larger than 13 inches is all yours! ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS We have another cabin on the property that sleeps 2, and a farmhouse that sleeps 6. Please inquiry if you'd like to make a family or friends trip to the farm! NOTE: This is comfortable glamping, and the cabin sits on 177 acres of nature. It might be hot. It might be cold. In the summertime there will be bugs, including ticks on the trails. We provide some bug spray, but bring your own to help. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped but rustic. It is thoroughly cleaned after each guest's stay; but since it is OUTDOORS, it may show signs of outdoor exposure, including dust. Please come with reasonable expectations so you will have a delightful stay! Guest access Guests of the Moon-Rise cabin will have the place all to themselves. Note that there are two other rentals on-site (but at a distance). Please enjoy our walking trails, ponds, and the great outdoors. Be sensitive to other guest's privacy while enjoying your own - but you may see other people and/or their pets on-site.
