"What an incredible place!"
"The whole farm experience and Justin showing us around was so much fun."
"Our kids could stay here all summer they loved it so much."
"We had a great private weekend away from distractions and loved relaxing in the hot tub."
This is what guests have said about our Homestead Refuge package. It is so much more than just staying in a camper. There are things for everyone, from kids to adults to do and learn, all while unplugging and relaxing in the country.
Welcome to our hobby farm retreat where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet on our homestead. We have a 2023 Heartland Pioneer 250 bunkhouse camper that has a bathroom with a tub/shower and full kitchen. It is perfect for a family of up to 6. You will have plenty of outdoor space to enjoy nature in every season and experience all the sights and sounds around the homestead. Unlimited firewood for the hot tub and fire pit as well as propane for the Blackstone grill is included with your stay.
Check out our YouTube channel for videos about our homestead @HomesteadRefuge and @HomesteadRefugeKids.
We love hosting families on our mini farm and getting to know new friends around the camp fire. We have many seasonal things on our farm that can only be experienced for a short time.
January-April: baby goats are being born.
We are expecting our first goat kids in early February of 2025 with four does giving birth approximately one each month through April.
March-May: baby chicks, ducks and turkeys are hatching.
We are expecting our first hatching of baby chicks around the end of February then we will incubate duck eggs.
April: baby piglets for 4-H are brought to the farm to raise for the fair.
May: baby piglets are brought to the farm to raise for sale at the butcher.
May-September: the pool is open
June-October: fresh fruit and vegetables in the garden
October-December: venison and pork processing
You will have full access to our camper with only the front storage access limited to our personal items. You will also have access to the above ground swimming pool in the summer from mid May to late September and the wood fire heated hot tub year round. There is plenty to do with the kids around the 16 acre farm or have a romantic weekend with lots of privacy. We have a wiffel ball/kickball field that doubles as a soccer field and has a 250 foot zip line coming through it. There are plenty of trails to hike on and we also have a small pond. You will have access to a creek that borders the property and is perfect for kids to catch crawdads and tadpoles in the summer.
