Great visit

My 13 year old granddaughter & I had a lovely visit. The horses, donkey and goat were fun- the koi were fascinating. The a/c was the perfect respite from the heat and humidity. Comfy beds, clean & quiet setting to enjoy time together.

Amazing stay

The ranch was perfect for our family. My son celebrated his birthday here and was able to spend time with the horses. Dara was very accommodating and took the kids on a trail ride as well as give some riding lessons. The koi pond was beautiful, and my husband and I were very relaxed sitting outside in the evenings. Definitely recommend!

Such a great stay

Had a great weekend stay. The property owner was so kind to my family, especially my oldest. She gave her some carrots to feed the farm animals there. It was a lot of fun for the kids to pet the animals and see the koi pond. She even helped us by working with us on our check out time so we wouldn't be stressed about an event we had to attend. I would recommend this property.

Bereavement

Our Family was staying in the area to help a family member and a friend transition. She passed on July 4th. The location was just 10 minutes from hospice. The house we stayed in brought us joy, in this time of need . The farm animals would check in with us from time to time.

My husband and I loved our three night getaway from the city .The older farmhouse had everything we needed, but the highlight was the animals. We loved sitting on the front porch and watching the horses and the donkey and the goats were very entertaining as well. There were a couple of cats that hung around and were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Unfortunately, for us, it rained every day And the sun didn’t shine at all. Other than that, we had a perfect getaway.
