The Best Way To Recharge!

If you’re looking for a place where you can stay on property the entire time and not see another person the entire stay, OR a place to fill your stay with all the activities you can fit in, this fits the bill. This cabin is our favorite getaway spot and this was our fifth time here. Bill and Karen are the best hosts, and communication with them is so easy. We always come away from our stay relaxed and recharged, and are already ready to come back!

Quiet

Location was about 30 min from most places BUT it is so amazing! The quiet and distance allowed us to see so much wildlife that would never have been seen otherwise. We had an owl visit almost every evening. The property had plenty of space for kids to run and play. The host were so welcoming and gracious! Karen came and walked us into the deer area and feed them “cookies”. She also answered all of our questions.

Delightful Get-Away

Our family group of five loved our week at Sunhillow Farm! The log cabin was so cute and comfortable, well equipped, and nestled in a beautiful setting, surrounded by a blueberry orchard and deer farm. Our hosts Bill and Karen were so friendly and helpful and surprised us with a number of nice treats. We had a wonderful time and can highly recommend Sunhillow Farm.

Awesome-Amazing place for family get away. The best ever!

Our family had an excellent time! The grands loved the deer, having the golf cart to get around the beautiful property, picking blueberries, going on a boat ride and swimming in the canal. Peaceful, relaxing, and overall, a great place to unwind. Of course, Freddie the rooster was the best! Meeting and visiting with Bill and Karen was great. Wonderful hosts - almost family. Thank you for the wonderful experience and sharing your little piece of heaven on earth!

Unplug & Relax!

I booked the Log Cabin for our family of 5 (my husband and our 3 teens [18, 16 & 16]) to celebrate our daughter’s high school graduation. It was even better than advertised and we loved our time there!! We spent 1/2 of a Saturday on the pontoon boat, then fed the deer, picked blueberries, explored the property and made good use of the golf cart. Bill was helpful & attentive. The cabin is well appointed and Acura is. Bring extra toilet paper! Can’t wait to book again

Home away from home

We came to celebrate our son's birthday, and everything about our stay was exceptional! We could not have felt more at home and comfortable in the cabin! Our family of 5 always had something to do while on the property, from feeding the deer (personal favorite), to fishing the ponds, walking the trails, catching frogs and lizards, basketball games and an epic cornhole tournament! We had a nice little thunderstorm during our stay that made for great sleeping in the cabin, and the huge covered patio was great for grilling and enjoying the storm. The sunset cruise in the pontoon boat was the nicest, most relaxing trip down the Pearl River, and the perfect way to end our last day in Louisiana. The owners, Bill and Karen, were the absolute best! We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with them, and the knowledge they both shared. We will definitely be back, and during blueberry season next time!

Wonderful As Always

This was our fourth time to stay at the farm, and, as always, it was wonderful. The cabin is spotless, the grounds are beautiful, and Bill and Karen are such amazing hosts. They truly made this year’s trip the best we’ve had down here. You can be as involved on the property as you want. Feeding the deer with the provided corn, riding the property with the available-to-rent golf cart, and canoeing or kayaking on the canal are all options you can enjoy. When you’re ready to go out, Abita Springs is a fun, quaint little town about 20 minutes away, where you can get food and drinks at Abita Brew Pub, or an amazing breakfast at Abita Springs Café (it truly is one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had). Covington is the “big city” 30 minutes away, with more restaurants (including a Café du Monde) and grocery stores. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with the friendliest hosts you’ve ever met, you need to come to the farm!

We enjoyed our long weekend trip! Great place to stop the world for a few days. It was peaceful watching deer while drinking coffee and relaxing outside. We hiked the trails, and used the canoes and kayaks in the late afternoon. Bill & Karen are very responsive to their guests. We are already discussing a return trip.

OH DEER!❤️

What a wonderful experience! I wanted to give my grandkids, ages 15 and 12, a little get away before starting school. They had an absolute blast, feeding the deer, playing cornhole, basketball, swimming in the beautiful lake and exploring the area. My husband, who is physically challenged was perfectly comfortable. The lift reclining chair was perfect for him. Owners/Hosts Bill and Karen made us feel like family. It was an experience filled with excitement, love and connection. This place is a hidden gem and we will definitely be back next summer. My granddaughter insists on it!!! Thank you so much Bill and Karen for your hospitality!

Amazing property

Bill and Karen were great hosts. They have an amazing property that is well appointed for any stay. My children fed the deer and loved the interaction with Karen while she was bottle feeding a fawn. Unfortunately we missed the blueberries, but we were gifted and amazing pineapple- blueberry dessert with wine! It was terrific. We were completely satisfied with our stay and I would highly recommend this property for a low key relaxing stay. However if you choose it is only a short drive to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. My advice though if you come during summer be prepared for the insects as they are there.

Dream Getaway with Kids

The Magee property is a perfect place for a family with children to get away from the city and into an unplugged cabin setting with many wonderful outdoor activities. The property is large, gated, and safe for you to let the kids run loose. The kids fed the deer, picked blueberries, rode bikes, played basketball, and kayaked to a nearby beach on the canal inlet. Hope to come back. Thank you Karen and Bill.

Relaxing Getaway at Sunhillow Farm

Sunhillow farm is such a great place to get away and just relax. The cabin was well stocked, furnished, and clean. The property is absolutely amazing. We enjoyed watching the deer from the cabin and walking over to the blueberry orchard and picking some fresh blueberries. It was great to wake up every morning and see rabbits, hummingbirds, cardinals, and many other wildlife. There are many trails to walk or ride the go cart on. Even our dog enjoyed going ride the trails. The trails are well maintained and easy to use. The beach/pavilion area is a great relaxing spot. We especially enjoyed the fishing pond with the canoe. There were some good spots to catch fish. There is something to do for every age group here! The hosts are some of the best. From the very beginning Mr. Bill was helpful with the booking process. Mr. Bill, Mrs. Karen, and all of their family are so nice and welcoming. Mr. Bill took the time to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. It was nice hearing a little background on the deer and how the deer farm works. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a peaceful getaway in nature with some wonderful hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Bill or Karen Magee

Host profile image
Karen and Bill have been married for 33 years, raising 4 children who have left the nest and the payroll. Bill has retired and they have moved back to the farm to raise chickens, deer and blueberries. We enjoy the outdoors and meeting new guests.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property when I was in college as an original 22 acre property at the end of the road. I added another 18 acres in 1981 and another 350 acres in 1996. After selling some acreage in 1998 we ended up with 220 acres. We met on the property back in 1987 while water skiing. I built the log cabin in the early 80s and converted it to the VRBO unit in 2019.

What makes this property unique

Secluded with no noise, no neighbors and no traffic. You want to get away from it all and enjoy the solitude of nature, this is the place for you. Our chickens provide fresh eggs for your enjoyment while here. You can help us feed the deer if you are here during feeding time. Pick fresh blueberries for your breakfast during the season. In early spring, enjoy the new green growth on the cypress and oak trees and other plants as you walk along the many trails we have. Also in early Spring, watch as the Swallow Tail Kites return from their stay in South America and make their nests on the property. One of the most graceful birds you will ever see soar over the fields and the ponds/lakes. The hummingbirds also return at around the same time. Late April brings the extraordinary display the fireflies put on during their mating season. Literally hundreds of fireflies are found with their glows in sync on certain evenings after dark. Truly an amazing site to see. In mid May through July, the deer are having their fawns which is another exciting time on the farm. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, enjoy the water sports on the waters around the property. Fall brings with it the colors of the cypress and maple trees changing to burn orange and red. As a special treat for those who book stays of 4 nights or more, enjoy a complimentary Blueberry Crostata, Bill's favorite blueberry dessert, topped with Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. It's to die for. Also included is a complimentary bottle of wine of your choice. Let us know if you like white or red.
