Glamping with sheep in a renovated 1972 Ace camper on 48 acres
Introducing Gertrude! This sweet 1972 Ace Camper is fully renovated and thoughtfully outfitted: just the thing for a simple stay in nature at Hurricane Hill, our beautiful, 48-acre historic fiber farm. Lounge in the the hammock, put your feet up around the fire pit, clean up in the outdoor shower, grill on the Weber and dance to our curated collection of 70's hits (or stream your own favorites) ....then sleep like a baby. The camper and its "yard" are both well thought through, so you will be glamping more than camping and we are nearby if you need anything at all to make your stay better. Despite our seclusion, we are actually really close to 95, 295, TF Green Airport and, of course, the ever compelling City of Providence. We are so excited to add Gertrude to our farm stay offerings! Please see our other on-farm listing to find out how we host (since we don't have any reviews of Gertrude yet). NOT self check-in. PLEASE NOTE: WE HAVE A 4 NIGHT MAXIMUM STAY

It was the perfect way to spend my short stay in Providence. Falling asleep listening to the tree frogs and crickets, then waking up to the sheep in the morning was peaceful. The hosts were very nice and easy to talk to. I would stay here again.

Delighted to find Gertrude available the same night as extended family rented a cottage on the same property through Air B&B. Drake and Wright worked with us to manage our delayed check-in.

Beautiful location, your only neighbors are sheep and chickens. The camper was clean, and comfortable. The hosts were nice and easy to communicate with they even had a little shop with honey, soap and yarn. We were only there for a night but we wished we could have stayed longer.

The hosts are very friendly. Unfortunately they didn’t receive our reservation (technology isn’t perfect) but they immediately accommodated us. We only have a one night reservation but we would definitely come back again.
The property was so nice and peaceful! We got a chance to talk with the owners for awhile, and they are so nice and down to earth. Gertrude had a nice collection of records which was nice to chill out to when winding down at the end of the night. Loved that! Ask Drake about Runaway Baa! Cute story. We hope to return at some point! And, a beautiful property to walk around! Highly recommended all the way around.
My husband and I had a beautiful stay in Gertrude for two nights. The property is beautiful and feels secluded but is close and convenient to everything you need.
The only thing to note is that the only cooking facilities are a small grill and a kettle for tea/coffee. Also a mini fridge. All worked perfectly, but good to know for planning!

thanks for your kind words and for staying with us-just to clarify for future guest who might be reading-our listing is clear there is no traditional kitchen-don't want anyone to think that this would be a 'surprise.'
Wow! Drake & Wright have something special here! Beautiful property that you're able to explore. Cutest little camper that stayed dry during the rain. The amenities are all there, though untraditional. The shower is finicky but functional. Would definitely recommend and would definitely book it again!

TY! sorry to her that shower was finicky. We gave it a check but couldn't reproduce a problem. When you come back (wink) I promise we will make it up to you!
Cute glamper on a very beautiful farm property. The owners were so lovely! We loved the outdoor shower with on-demand hot water, the solo stove for evening campfires, and camper itself was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the whole experience very much. During the day, we went into providence for excellent dining and shopping. Then, returned to Gertrude to relax and unwind. The farm was so picturesque and there were lovely walking trails. We loved every minute and will definitely book again. Highly recommend!

I recently saw and chose this place for a business trip - and I can safely say there were no regrets. Gertrude is in superb condition and continues to be a quiet and cozy oasis for anyone who decides to book. In my daily life I'm often in the bustle of everything and everyone and this place was the perfect getaway from all of it. While I saw the hosts in quick and nice passings, you really do feel like you're on your own. The sheep in the field next door made every day better....same goes for the wild bunnies roaming about. 20/10!
Our host met us at the gate and showed us everything we needed. The outdoor shower has hot water on demand and is just like showering indoors (but more fun)! The location of the trailer is a private area with only sheep as neighbors. I will recommend this location to any group of one or two (too small for larger groups)
If you think you will like this property, you will love it! The location is private and beautiful, the camper is clean and fun! There are many nice touches to make your stay even more comfortable (awesome towels, coffee and tea, a bit of wood for the easy-to-build fire). The host is very responsive and accommodating, the farm is beautiful, the privy is surprisingly charming (!), and the outdoor shower is sublime. Next time we'll stay longer.
I had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the beauty of this farm. Gertrude’s accommodations were cozy, comfortable and more than adequate. I had plenty of room for things in the fridge and freezer. It was marvelous to sleep in such peace and wake to roosters. The gardens are lush, the scenery just magical. Drake is the most wonderful and accommodating host. I can’t say enough about her friendliness and kind nature. And their canine ambassador, Rosie is so sweet. I really felt at home there.
I will be back again when I need to escape life and rest. We are also planning for girls’ weekend in the cottage soon. Perhaps on the fall as the leaves are turning. I am sure that will be stunning to see. I highly recommend this host and the sweet vintage camper.
It was fun to get back to basics and enjoy nature. Gladys is simply and attractively outfitted, and we had a great time checking out the beautiful garden; saying hi to the animals; and taking a leisurely morning walk around the farm with a cup of coffee in hand. Hurricane Hill Farm is a very special property, and it was a privilege to experience it!
