This was a wonderful experience. My wife enjoyed the quietness of nature. She sat out by the lake and read her book until sundown while watching the ducks live their best life. The cow experience was awesome too! Tinsel is massive; all the animals are beautiful.

This was the cutest place we have had experienced. Their farm animals were friendly and adorable. The owner was the nicest person. We booked the place in the late afternoon and got there kinda late night. She welcomed us with the warmest welcomed. We really enjoyed the place and highly recommend!!!
