Fun family farm

What a treat for our family of 5 to be able to stay in such a comfy/organized/extremely clean farm. Every view outside this homey/warm house is a striking panorama scene. You can see all the animals from the windows in the house! All the animals were so clean/unique/social! Neil made us a fire and brought out a cooler of refreshments!. Also we spent time walking through the amazing wedding venue. So much to explore at the farm. Can’t wait to stay again. Neil and Deba are one of a kind with their nurturing abilities with animals and humans. Thank you so much for much for creating the best family time ever!

Cute shabby sheik house with animal friends everywhere you look! We enjoyed sitting out front feeding berries to the chickens and peacocks:) Really laid back animals who want to hang out with you. The house was clean and the beds were great, I slept like a rock! Fun experience!

A Serene Escape: Unforgettable Family Memories

Our stay at Deda and Neil's property was truly exceptional. The peaceful and beautiful vibe of their space, combined with their accommodating and attentive hospitality, made our visit unforgettable. Witnessing the realization of their dream in creating this space and wedding venue was incredibly inspiring. This was my second stay with them; my first visit was a girls' getaway organized by my sister. We enjoyed nature, picked fresh flowers, and savored fantastic wine from the Amana colonies. I knew immediately that this would be a perfect little getaway for my husband, our 6-year-old daughter, and me. My daughter loved it so much that she was sad to leave. She adored the friendly animals, and our family walks around the serene property were a highlight. Deda's fresh pastries were a delightful treat, and the house was well-equipped with board games that provided additional fun. Deda and Neil went above and beyond, providing us with fresh eggs from their chickens and quails. Their thoughtful and caring approach made us feel as special as family or friends. The property was immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful retreat to everyone. It is a place where core memories are made, and the warmth and hospitality of Deda and Neil make it truly special.

Funnest BRBO ever!

Stayed here while visiting Amana. We were as excited about the VRBO as we were about Amana. It did not disappoint. Beautiful view, lovely house and bonus animal entertainment. Deda and Neil were great. We also enjoyed Thursday Throwdown at their venu next door. Yummy whiskey sours with mix from there berry farm. Had to take some home. Will definitely stay again if we ever go back.

Great location to the Amanas. House was well stocked with all necessities and beds were very comfortable. The animals were a hoot and the hosts were the kindest we’ve ever had at a VRBO. They showed us around the property and the beautiful wedding venue they own.

A lovely place to stay

We loved our stay at the farm. Deda was so kind as was her husband. The animals are really cool. We live on a farm as well with most the same animals so it was kind of like being at home. We loved the free range peacocks and fields for us to hike through. It was fun to see the animals from the windows too. The house was clean and the beds super comfy. They left us chicken, quail and an Emu egg for breakfast in the fridge for us. The kids LOVED seeing the Emu egg. There is a cozy fireplace and very lovely artwork in the house too. We baked and cooked a bunch and spent a lot of time at the house. The grocery store is very close as is a very cool 1965 built 6 lane bowling ally. We would totally visit again if we are in the area. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

Great stay and experience

For a city gal raised in Chicago this was so much fun. The house is great, plenty of room to stretch out and get comfy. 5 minutes from Amana. We ate Sunday brunch at Ox Yoke Inn… yum yum. Best part of the trip, besides chatting with Deda were the critters. Oh my the peacocks knock on the patio doors to get their berries. Ed the Emu is a hoot. Kune kune pigs to pet! So much fun.

Sisters birthday getaway

This was the perfect place for the five of us sisters to celebrate one of our birthdays! Deda, the hostess, was so friendly, and greeted us when we arrived. She acquainted us with our surroundings and the numerous animals that live on the farm. There were even fresh pastries from the local bakery in Amana, which we enjoyed for breakfast the next morning! The house and furnishings were wonderful, comfortable, and cozy! The house sits on 22 acres and we enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the unique and friendly animals. It was amazing to have peacocks walking so close to us. They would even come to the patio door, waiting to be fed berries that Deda and her husband had picked from their property. We had only a short time to enjoy the comfortable patio, but the views were beautiful! Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! Thank you to you, Deda, and your husband, for sharing your home with us. We have already recommended it to others and would not hesitate to come back!
