The perfect place to stay. The hosts were beyond welcoming, the property is beautiful, and the animals will have you wishing you stayed longer. If you want to get away from the monotony of everyday living, this is an amazing place to reconnect to nature and slow down. The hosts are extremely accommodating, hospitable, and they have two of the friendliest dogs I’ve ever met (when paired with their ponies, it makes quite a treat). I hope to come back again some time in the future

It was quite an very country. It was different from the airb&bs we have rented in the past. It was like a hotel room. Very clean and served our needs perfectly. It had trails to take a walk a nice pond to set and ponder on your day. The owner was very nice. He lives in the house and the room is attached. His dogs are great will fetch for hours 😊

Dreamiest Getaway Ever

This place was seriously amazing. The guest room was super cozy and had everything we needed, but the real magic was everything outside. The hot tub was perfect at night with the stars overhead, and we had so much fun using the paddle boards during the day. And the miniature ponies?? Actual little angels. We visited them every morning like it was our job.The whole stay felt peaceful and special, and the hosts were awesome! Super friendly and easy to communicate with. It honestly felt like a hidden gem, and we’re already talking about coming back.If you’re even thinking about booking, just do it. You won’t regret it

We only stayed one night, but the property was beautiful, the owners were pleasant and respectful, and the animals (two dogs and two ponies) were sweet and playful. This stay was exactly what we needed for a break during our 20-day road trip.
