The location is hidden off Terex Rd, but once you take the winding road back towards the lake, you've entered a magical winter wonderland! There's plenty of parking and the staff are extremely courteous and helpful. They have a great selection of pre-cut trees at fair prices (perhaps fair prices for Hudson, as the other tree seller at the center of town was a charitable organization that charged through the roof). Here we take a pull cart, grab a hack saw and go hunt for the perfect tree. They have most every common Christmas tree that you can imagine. We hunted for 90-mins until we found the perfect live tree for the height, width and proportion of a tree we were looking for. Once we cut it down and put it on the cart, we brought the tree back to the main house, paid for the tree and the staffers shook off the leaves, bundled the tree and put it on the roof of my car. My children were entertained by the livestock in the back of the farmhouse. They had a pig, goat and rooster with staff showing off these animals. It's a beautiful tree farm that's very picturesque. We saw three separate families on professional photo shoots. I've been here in two snow storms in years prior and can tell you it really helps the moment. Something so magical about the precious white snow falling as you find the perfect Christmas tree. Like a scene out of a Hallmark Channel movie with a washed up actor from Full House or Doogie Houser.

Peaceful Motorcycle-Friendly Getaway!…read more Booking through the Hipcamp app was super easy--I picked the exact campsite I wanted without any hassle. I was traveling by motorcycle and ended up arriving late at night, so I messaged the hosts ahead of time. They quickly let me know that late arrivals were no problem and that check-in was completely self-serve, which made things simple. Finding my spot was easy once I arrived. I stayed at Campsite #4, conveniently close to the parking area, which made unloading and reloading my bike a breeze. The little shack at the site was awesome! It even had a tarp you can unroll and secure over the doorway for a bit of privacy when you turn in for the night. The latrine was located near the check-in area, and the whole property had a calm, quiet vibe. There were other campers around, but it honestly felt like I had the place to myself. It's nothing like those packed chain campgrounds with big RVs and noisy crowds--this spot was peaceful, rustic, and relaxing. You can't beat the pride note, excellent value! I'll definitely be coming back for another stay on my next ride through the area!

Cute little place that I never really knew existed!…read more My husband and I came here in mid-October to pick some pumpkins and they still had a decent selection. Not many of the green variety but lots of orange and white ones. Prices seemed a little high ($8-9 for an average-sized one, $10-$14 for the large ones, $6-7 for smaller ones). They also had a nice selection of gourds ($1 each), and other decorative or pie pumpkins ($4). Not bad individually, but if you're looking to buy enough for a family or front yard display, it can add up quickly. We picked out 4 and paid $28. In addition to pumpkins, they had a variety of fall activities including a small corn maze, hay rides, and scavenger hunt ($4/ticket for each, I think). We don't have kids so I can't speak to it from that perspective. We went on a gray, drizzly Sunday afternoon so it wasn't very crowded. Appreciated that they require masks throughout the property, though out on the scavenger hunt trails people weren't always abiding.

I've been DYING to see the inside of this place for a while so I was delighted to hear they were hosting a monthly flea market this summer. The interior is lovely and awesome as one may expect. There are several rooms on the first floor including the kitchen, the Orange room, the Pie room (totally misnamed sincerely there were zero pies) and a grand staircase leading upstairs which is closed off for events. I believe it is available for private and community functions and would be a lovely and impressive space for a party or gathering. To rent the space you just have to get permission from the Worshipful Master, pay a deposit fee, and there is no alcohol allowed ever. (I read this on a sign.) ;) I hope to be back for the flea and perhaps sometime for a tour so I can see those upper floors. I've heard tours here are a a thing but I don't know how to get hooked up with one!

Menards... Where do I start? I ordered a few things online. I got the series of emails and texts…read moreabout the order being ready. One of the emails said to drive through delivery but smaller orders could be picked up inside. The smart assed kid working up front could not have been more rude than he was. I asked him about picking up inside and he said "It's in the very back right corner of the store." I said "But that is the same place you go to if you drive through. Why do you bother saying small orders can be picked up inside?" He snapped at me and said "It's in the far right corner of the store sir." Younger me would have grabbed him by the shirt and slapped him silly for being that disrespectful, but as a man now probably 50 years older than him, I let it go. I went to use the drive through, which requires scanning a QR code from your phone. However, following links to get to the QR code took me in a circular loop where I MUST create an account. I will NOT set up an account. Every account you create is one more place a criminal can try to steal your identity, because businesses (like Menards) sell your information to scammers and hackers. I am an older man and a disabled Vietnam veteran. Menards stores are the size of an indoor sports arena. My old, tired legs simply don't have the steps in them to walk from the front door of Menards all the way to the furthest point of the store and then back again. I then thought "Maybe if I just drive to a closer entrance." Well, there are other doors, but they don't open from outside. Apparently they choose to presumptively accuse me and everybody else entering the store of intending to slip in and out of that door without paying for a bag of wing nuts... And it's not like you really save a ton of money shopping there. Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart... there are all within a dollar or so on everything they sell. You don't really "save more money at Menards". So, rude employees, demanding that everybody open an account so they can spam your email, and an extremely uncomfortable store experience for older people with mobility issues will keep me out of there forever. Now let's see how long they delay sending me a refund for the order I just cancelled. So call these people out for how awful the customer experience is.

Still a 5-star, family-run farm, but worth an update!…read more For the past two years we've been cutting our own trees here at Swan Farm. This year, since Thanksgiving was so late in the month, we didn't get here quite in time to cut our own. However--we did purchase a pre-cut Scotch Pine that was huge and perfect, for only $48. Their pre-cut trees are brought in from another Ohio farm, and haven't been sitting around since August. Ours was cut maybe a week before we purchased it, not even. Even though picking out and cutting down your own tree is a special treat, snagging one of these pre-cut trees didn't take away from the wonderful experience and customer service. The gal outside walked us over to the Scotch Pines and even helped us measure the tree to make sure it would fit in our house. Once we did pick it out, we were sent inside while they safely secured this huge tree to our car. This is the kind of service I love! Inside, I'm assuming the owner of the farm checked us out--and asked us if we'd been there before. He's always so warm, welcoming and talkative! The little guy was able to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa and a candy cane (free inside!), so he was happy! My favorite tree farm in CLE+!!

We were full from our great lunch down the road at Tinkers Creek Tavern, so all we left with was a tree. Great combo, though. If we had more time, we would have started with a hike.
