Don't look now, but we have availability this long weekend. Holler if you would like to come out through Monday and I will make it possible on airbnb or vrbo.

If you're lucky, you will get to see one or 3 of our current fawns around the pond.

So happy to have cold weather guests this weekend.  It’s been a while since the firepit has been enjoyed.

We’ve had 3 wood duck clutches so far.

Looks like one more and we may be finished this nesting season.

Soon, we’ll open the calendar for more bookings starting some time in July.

We look forward to hosting humans soon!

We have a new white runner/mallard mix duck named Mutt who oversees everything that happens in and around the pond.

We don't know where he came from, but he seems to be a permanent resident and we're ok with that.

Here, you will see him swimming with a drake wood duck.

And a buck is just passing through!

As soon as the nesting wood ducks and their ducklings vacate, we will be open for guests again. Hosting ducks is fun, but people are fun, too!

We have seen this hoss on cameras as recently as 1/4/22. Isn't he a beauty?
