Farm Stay - Spend the night in a converted grain silo on a working tree farm!

Welcome to our silo, The Traveler. We love what we do and want to share it with others. We grow container and field grown trees, as well as blueberry and blackberry plants. When the berries are in season, feel free to pick some for your enjoyment. This silo was used on a cattle farm in Social Circle to store grain. Everything in it has a story that you can read about in a book provided.
We have tried to mix old with new to make it feel like home.
When you enter the silo, the open floor plan has a very comfy king size bed with high quality linens, living area, dining area and a kitchenette. The full size refrigerator will easily accommodate food and drinks of your choice. There are ice trays in the freezer for your use. You will also find a small microwave and single serve coffee maker with a variety of coffee pods, creamer and sugar for your pleasure. The television is a Smart TV so you can log into your account on any of the apps to watch your favorite shows. The spacious bathroom provides plenty of room for getting ready. We offer premium towels and wash cloths, as well as "makeup" wash cloths. The large shower has Native brand shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided. There's hair dryer with attachments, as well as an iron and ironing board.
Enjoy the evening breeze sitting on the patio with the smokeless fire pit listening to the birds chirping.
We look forward to your stay on our farm!
