Die Camp-Hütte im Darst-Myers Hallstead

If you're looking for an unplugged camping experience/family farm adventure, we'd love to share our cabin and farm property with you.

Although there is no running water in the cabin itself, the restroom with shower is a short walk (about 50 yards) inside the basement of our farmhouse, with its own private entrance. This restroom is private to your party during your stay.

This one room (plus loft) cozy cabin sleeps up to six guests, who choose to "rough it" with many comforts, including a queen bed, a futon, and two low twin beds in the loft (accessible only by ladder, not for children under 8). All linens are provided.

Enjoy petting and feeding our goats and sheep. Interact with free-range chickens. Our hens provide eggs guests may cook for their breakfast; guests bring their own side items to make a complete meal. We also provide complimentary snacks and filtered water in a glass dispenser. There is a small refrigerator/freezer combination in the cabin (dorm sized).

From May to October, if no other events are scheduled during your stay, guests have use of the barn gym with "full court" basketball (two hoops, not full regulation sized), air hockey, foosball, playground balls and other fun activities like indoor swings. This facility is not climate controlled-- no air conditioning or heating system. The climbing wall is off limits to cabin guests.

We do not have a television in the cabin, and this is a purposeful decision. We have a selection of games, books, and puzzles, and there is much to do on the property itself, which features a small pond near the cabin with a paddle boat, kayak and canoe. In winter months, we have sleds available for the hill.

There is a fire pit right outside the cabin and firewood is provided. There is also a charcoal grill for cooking (bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid). Guests are also welcome to use any other fire rings on the property, including the common area in the backyard of the main house, which includes a gas grill, picnic tables, a hammock, swings, and a playground. This is a non-smoking property-- in or near all buildings. Guests who smoke may only do so by the fire pits. Dispose of butts properly.

Free parking. Guests may drive along a grass/dirt path to park near the cabin (at your own risk) or park in the gravel area near the goat pasture and make the short walk to the cabin. The property is not handicap accessible and may be over uneven terrain. If needed, we can shuttle on our side-by-side ATV if special arrangements are made ahead of time.

The cabin is on the farm property where we live, but guests have their own private space but are also welcome to explore the farm property as desired. We aim to be responsive to your needs before, during, and after your stay so feel free to text us with concerns, needs, or celebrations!

Quiet hours are from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Thank you!

We hope you enjoy your stay.
