Budget Friendly Farmhand Stay

Breckenridge Park model 12x24 trailer, large porch, fire pit, and fenced dog run. Perched on a hill overlooking our hangar. Incredible sunset views!

This listing is very basic and targeted at anyone looking to be our ranchhand! Come relax while working part-time on our farm to offset your stay expenses! Want an upscale experience? See my profile's other listings.

Enjoy incredible panoramic views of Blue Mountain and Swatara Creek Park, beautiful sunsets, starry nights, and a crackling fire!
The space
Sleeping accommodations include a full bed in the master, a twin loft bed in the second bedroom, and a foldout futon in the living area. There is endless hot water from a propane tankless heater, propane-forced hot air heat, and air conditioning. Full bathroom with shower tub combo. There is a dedicated workspace in the second bedroom under the loft bed.
Guest access
Feel free to explore our 66 acres but ensure you stay within the treelines / our boundaries. The hot tub is next to our house - look for the string lights. There is a 1.5-acre fenced dog run that is across the road from the treehouse that you are welcome to use. The double gates are on the side opposite the main road.

It’s a little house/ camper on the farm property. If you don’t mind glamping camper style- you’ll be fine. The deck was really cute to hang out on and it had a great view. The hot tub is not at the little house- it’s at the main house. We drove to it (mainly because it was chilly at night but can be walkable.) The rooms were very small, studio apartment like but still very cute. It had all the essentials and we were very happy with it.
