The Darst-Myers Hallstead

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

Enjoy petting and feeding our goats. Interact with free-range chickens. In the spring and summer, you may also find pigs, sheep or cows on the property. 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).

The 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).

Although there is no running water in the cabin itself, the restroom with shower is a short walk (about 40 yards) inside the basement of our farmhouse, with its own private entrance. This restroom is private to your party during your stay.

All linens are provided.

If no other events are scheduled during your stay, guests have use of the barn gym with "full court basketball" (two hoops), air hockey, playground balls and other fun activities like indoor swings. We also have a climbing wall— this experience is available April to October by special requests—additional fees apply.

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.

There is a fire pit right outside the cabin and firewood and matches are provided. There is 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.

Free parking. It is a short walk to the cabin over uneven terrain. The property is not handicap accessible, though we can shuttle on our side-by-side ATV if special arrangements are made ahead of time.

We hope you enjoy your stay.
