Upon request, availability and approval

Please contact me before your trip for alternate directions if your rig is over 12 feet tall because we are located between two railroad trestles with low clearances. Not all GPSs show the trestles. Call/text when you arrive. Parking spot is outside the main gate in the grass/gravel "triangle" on the southwest corner between the mailbox and the cedar fence. The spot is right along the road, for easy arrival and departure. I suggest entering/parking whichever direction the door to your RV faces inward toward the cedar fence for "patio" area and a little privacy - either via the main driveway or the side gate to the south based on direction of travel and turning radius. We hope to have two more spaces available inside the fence in 2024 for smaller RVs. We will meet you at the gate for introductions and a tour to visit the animals and to learn about our homestead. This is our first year with Harvest Hosts, so we thank you for your patience.
