1. Authentic pioneer cabin at Big Elkin Creek Farm (from USD 170)
The picturesque farm cabin at Big Elkin Creek Farm dates back to the 1800s, creating a connection between early Americans and those of the present. The log house has been restored and modernised while retaining much of its original timber and red brick features. It’s a bit snug, especially with all the furniture, but it all adds to the cosiness and immersive spirit of the place.
Furthermore, take a walk and explore the farm’s meadows and woodlands, meeting the local furry farm denizens along the way. After a hike, wind down and warm up with a pot of coffee or chocolate made using the wood stove. You can also make dinner in the fully equipped kitchen or fire up the barbecue grill and enjoy a cookout using farm-fresh ingredients or your day’s catch.
