Here are a few essential points to keep in mind during freezing conditions on the Farmstead:

  1. Water Supply: When freezing temperatures are expected, we turn off the water supply to the RV sites. We strongly recommend using heat tape for your hose to prevent freezing issues.

  2. Bathroom Water: After our first hard frost, the water area is turned off, so there won’t be running water(no shower or sink). If this poses an issue, please check with us in advance. We have alternative areas with running water, such as another sink, that you can use.

  3. Portable Toilet: Rest assured, we always have a portable toilet available on-site for your convenience.

These measures are in place to ensure a comfortable and problem-free stay during colder weather conditions on the Farmstead.

We provide the convenience of a washer and dryer conveniently located in the barn office. Operating on an honor system, you can use dollars (no need for coins) to run these machines. We aim to make your stay as comfortable and hassle-free as possible, and our self-service laundry facilities are part of our commitment to your convenience.

Absolutely! We offer Wi-Fi connectivity for your convenience, allowing you to stream videos, access necessary materials, or stay connected while setting up your new trailer. We understand the importance of staying connected, and our Wi-Fi service is here to support your needs during your stay.
