Getting Outdoors

Peoples State Forest is a mix of hardwood and pine trees that blanket over 3,000 acres of gently rolling mountains and hills. Farmington River meanders and serpentines along the western edge of Peoples State Forest, providing excellent trout fishing opportunities. On a quiet, misty morning, an early riser hitting the trails may find that hardy fishermen have beaten them to the outdoors. As the steam rises from the cool river, a fisherman, clad in waders, calmly and deftly flicks his rod. Tall maples and birches crowd the banks of the river, lush green in spring and summer. In autumn, the trees turn into a blaze of gold and ember.

We had a great experience renting from Jon. Since it was our first time doing this, we were nervous, but Jon explained everything perfectly and was easily readable for questions throughout the rental period. We'll definitely do this again.

Gerry was great to work with! Super accommodating and just a nice guy with a handsome dog :) The camper was absolutely perfect for a weekend away. The upgraded bed was amazing after a long day and the shower had great pressure and super hot! Thanks Gerry! We look forward to next year!
