Guests have private use of the cabins. Several fun amenities and farm animals (gardens, pond, playhouse, hammock, bunnies, chickens, ducks, 2 friendly dogs, and soon goats) are on the main house side of the compound. Guests are welcome to ask the owners for a tour or to use the amenities.
The owners live in the main house with their kids, so while guests may see the family, but it is up to the guests to interact with anyone.
This retreat is an one-of-a-kind experience, to live off-the-grid and get a taste of being unplugged.
Solar electricity powers the compound, but we've limited the appliances that use a lot electricity.
Internet is available via Starlink. Cellphone signal strength will be dependent upon your carrier.
We're replacing common appliances with off-grid friendly ones...e.g. coffee maker is pour over, not a plugged in drip coffee machine.
