I would certainly love to come back again.\nI realize that that volunteers do much of the work, so please tending the following will make the experience of the next campers better:\nboth cans of wood ash were over flowing, so there is not a spot to clean out the wood stove, the outhouse is at capacity and the wood box was near empty.  Many thanks!  "

The Joe and Doe Cabin was SO private and situated in such a beautiful spot, which was close to the Main Barn and probably the easiest to haul things in to. I think it was ideal for us. My 4 year old has been obsessed with camping, this was a good introduction. The wood stove was wonderful and kept us HOT most of the night. We had bought my 2 year old a down bunting sleeping bag, which she did not use. We had to open a window, haha. The sound of the owls and sleeping in the moonlight was charming. Can’t wait to go back (with less stuff!). "
