There's 3 main acres free for camping. No hookups but there are three prong plugs on the outside of the house you're free to use. Also use of facilities inside are perfectly fine: shower, kitchen, toilet, \*laundry\* (ask first). There's a tennis court and a not functioning pool. Cows are always around, behind the fence, and my cat Meeko will likely investigate your set up with love. We're remodeling the inside which is also available for stays.
