Get away from it all when you stay under the stars! Your stay here in our Shepherds Hut will be an amazing Glamping experience! Aberdeen Mills is a 40 acre family friendly farm. Enjoy total privacy or join us on our morning chores, feeding the animals treats and maybe even walk the goats on their leads! Walk the trail through the property along the creek. Snooze in a hammock or meditate by the creek. Our farm is a relaxing spot after a day of site seeing or visiting Hershey Park. Welcome to Aberdeen Mills-a 40 acre farm and grist mill! Make some memories at this unique and beautiful place! You will be staying in the Shepherd's Hut on the creek. We cater to couples in this setting. The Hut consists of one room with a Queen bed. We provide all bedding and towels. Enjoy sleeping in our enchanted forest designed shepherds hut. Keep the windows open to listen to the sounds of the creek as it lulls you to sleep. Or, if you re too hot or cold, turn on the portable A/C & heating unit! You will have access to electricity to charge your devices, make coffee and turn on lights! There is no wifi out here, but you can use your own cellular data for internet needs. If you have a child, we can provide a futon, bedding and set of towels for an additional cost of $25. (Keep in mind that the Hut and surrounding area is not child proofed inside/out and open waterway is very close to the hut.) Please let us know as soon as possible so we can have the futon available for your stay. Glamping here is fantastic! You will have a private outdoor shower to use right next to the Hut. Hot water available seasonally. Please confirm with host as to hot water availability. Biodegradable body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap/dish soap is provided and we ask that you use the provided products to help us protect our natural surroundings - especially the creek. Please keep in mind that water provided to the shower and outdoor sink is not drinkable (not potable), however, we do provide water for drinking/cooking/brushing teeth that is from a 5 gallon bottle with pump dispenser. A separate toilet room is available right next to the hut as well. It is equipped with a bucket toilet which requires eco- bags and kitty litter (both provided). The full bags are then tied and disposed of in a larger outdoor trash can just outside. Use the fire pit just outside the hut for grilling or use the gas grill with burner that faces the creek. Basic kitchen supplies are provided (please refer to pictures for details). There is also a picnic bench facing the creek. Walk the trail through the property and enjoy the cool shade. Pack a picnic and enjoy eating on the moss covered boulders next to the water, play games in the yard, snooze in a hammock, meditate by the creek or take a swim in the swimming hole. Enjoy privacy while in the hut, or join us on our morning chores (we live in a house on the property), by feeding the animals and gathering fresh eggs. During the day, cross the bridge over the creek to get to the beautifully maintained Conewago Recreation Trail where you can walk or ride bikes. Our rural setting is a relaxing spot to stay after a day of seeing the sites or visiting Hershey Park just 15 minutes away. We are 10 minutes to the train station which will take you to all the surrounding major cities - DC, NY, Philly and others for a day trip too! Experience a bit of history while staying in the Shepherd's Hut. The houses, grist mill and bank barn were built with sandstone brought to the property by wagonloads in the 1770's. Just think! This homestead was built before the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Revolutionary War began! Stay in or explore the 40 acres of property consisting of woodlands, creek and farmland. The grist mill and other buildings require host to accompany guests in order to enter and we are happy to give you a tour! During your stay you will have access to the entire area surrounding the Hut, the creek, the property trail that is alongside the creek and the swimming hole. Other buildings and pastures are accessible only with your host. This is for guest and farm animal safety, as well as owner privacy (reminder that we live on property). Our family lives in one of the homes on the property and we are home much of the time. If you ever need anything just let us know through text or phone call - or wave us down as we work around the farm. It would be awesome to have you join us in feeding the animals and hunting for eggs. We welcome interactions with you, and we also wish to respect your privacy - so we will follow your lead as to how much interaction you would like to have with us. :) Our neighbors are quiet but very friendly! There are several farms in the area. The Conewago Recreational Trail is just on the other side of the creek and offers a beautifully maintained path for walking or biking. Say hello to passerby’s and you are sure to get a friendly greeting in return. You may hear or see some vehicles crossing the bridge. Quiet hours are between 10PM - 8AM. Walking, biking and driving are the best ways to get around our immediate neighborhood. Driving will be needed to get into the lovely downtown area of Elizabethtown. There is free and metered parking in town. Parking at the farm is off the road and free. Amtrak is only an 8 minute drive and can take you to most any large city. This is a working farm. If you spend any amount of time enjoying the outdoors, you will most likely see us taking care of the animals, tending the garden or working on various projects throughout the property. The Conewago Creek runs right through our property. If you have a fishing license you can catch/release. Please watch children carefully as the creek is very rocky and deep in some areas. While exploring, please clean up after yourself by throwing trash in the garbage can. There is no smoking on the property. Thank you!!
