This is a working farm... a beautiful and wild permaculture agro-forestry farm paradise here. You may hear/see people around working or enjoying the land, but usually it's pretty private, and you may see no one the entire time. We naturally provide you with space, unless invited to interact, though we may check in and ask you how you are doing if we see you out and about. We REQUIRE a pre-dark check in. If you cannot arrive before dark, please do not book the space. We're out in the country, under a big dark sky at night. That's one of the best things about this place, but it makes arrival and check-in very challenging at night. That is why we REQUIRE a pre-dark check in. Guest access Come down our driveway (watch for our friendly dog who barks and runs by your car, but immediately settles down once she meets you), and pause in front of the barn & honk if you don't see us around. We'll provide guidance. We require a pre-dark check in, and we appreciate working out your ETA with you, so the bus is prepared for your arrival and to make sure we are around when you get here. Other things to note First thing to know...This is not a place for people who are uncomfortable with nature!!! The bathroom is an outhouse and a separate cold-water shower house. If you scare at the sight of bugs, dirt, and animals, you should consider accommodations elsewhere. It's a jungle out here...ticks are a real thing. Be prepared for a full nature immersion experience. Second thing to know... The bus is best suited for up to 2 people who are comfortable together. There's only one bed. We'll have to chat about any additional guests, as "the bed situation" will have to be figured out. We want to make sure everyone is comfortable. Also....We offer various in-season farm products for sale. Firewood is available for no cost, but we do accept tips for the hard working wood splitter and stacker. We have a very friendly dog, Tulsi, who might bark at you, but she's not a threat. Just act like you know her, and she'll be your bestie.
