The Property
Abundant Nature
You are welcome to explore the farm, and a map is provided in your guest information book. Tomahawk Creek is located about a quarter mile from the house. In the summer it is suitable for swimming or wading, fishing, and kayaking (on a short stretch of creek). It has bass and perch. There are a few fishing poles at the house, but you would want to bring your own gear if you're serious about fishing. (There are some great fishing opportunities in the Mountain View area, on the White River and in Blanchard Spring Recreation Area.)
Kayaks and canoes are (USUALLY) available on the creek bank. Please check with the host in advance if you know you want to use them.
The water level and clarity of the water will vary depending on the time of year and weather.
You are invited to bring ATVs to ride. Shooting is also allowed. (Please contact the host in advance about where to shoot.)
Farm Life
There is also a cattle pond about 300 yards from the house. Along with whitetail deer, turkeys, and other wildlife, cattle will be peacefully sharing the property with you at times. Don't bother them, and they won't bother you! If you visit in early summer, you might have a chance to watch hay being harvested. Although there are no other animals kept at the house, we do have goats, peacocks, and other animals that you are welcome to stop and visit on another part of the farm.
This property is about a 15-20 minute drive from the town of Mountain View, and the route includes about 2 miles of dirt road (can be muddy or bumpy at times). Cellular service is spotty! We provide free WiFi, along with a telephone for local calls.

Filmmaking
We are also pleased to appear in two movies! Filmed in 2019, "From the Heart" was set in an Amish farm community and used Johnson Creek Farmhouse as the setting for two different homes. This film has aired on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
A second movie, "Plus One at an Amish Wedding" was filmed at the house and several other locations around Mountain View during 2021.
An ATV commercial was also filmed on our property in 2021.
Hunting
Johnson Creek Farmhouse also serves as the lodging for Richwoods Hunting, which offers guided hunts for groups during deer and turkey season.
