My family really enjoyed our stay at Foxfire Heritage Farm. What a unique way to camp in the comfort of a 2 pod yurt. They had everything that we needed minus a shower. There was lots of firewood for our cold nights but it was only softwood...which had me up every couple hours to restoke. The beds were very comfortable and the power pack was such a convenience to keep our phones charged. We really loved being able to explore the property and visit with all the animals. What an awesome experience!

Nous avons attendu 30 minutes et personne n’était là. L’endroit était très embarrassé et malpropre.
L’habitation proposée était dans un champ difficilement accessible.
Nous sommes donc partis car cet offre n’était pas acceptable. Nous exigeons un remboursement.
