This 19th-century historically restored old farmstead offers the unique opportunity to "sleep in a museum" with the option of staying in the Landowner’s Suite, rooms in the old farmhouse, or in "bed closets" aka unique dorm-style beds with an authentic, yesteryear feel. There's also an additional building featuring rooms with private facilities, still decorated in keeping with the farm's vintage vibes. Stays at the Wilderness Center include free admission to their lovely bathhouse, with a hot spring spa built from stone. Home-cooked meals are available for an extra price.
