Great time on the Farm!

Great hosts! Great location! Great animals! Great space to relax as a couple! Dan spent time with us on the farm answering all of our "City Folk" questions on Cows, Donkeys, Kittens, Dogs, and Farm ownership. It is a wonderful place to relax with the sounds of animals and awesome sunsets!

Farm apartment

Our stay was enjoyable. We were close to the small towns we wanted to go and see and the landscape was beautiful We were in Bluff Country. The weather was great too. Every time we came back to the farm we were greeted by the 2 dogs, especially the puppy. Both dogs were cute and fun to be around.

Peaceful beautiful farm stay, family friendly.

It’s a peaceful area except, for the outdoor dogs who might bark, and run around the yard. It says fully furnished kitchen but there were no pairing knives, only 2 large knives. This was our second visit in 4 years. The beds upstairs are not ideal for adults who have pain, or to avoid a head injury climbing up to get there if you’re unsteady is a challenge. The big king bed is fine. The hosts are all friendly. If you like farm atmosphere, it’s a nice place. We wished we could have opened the windows to hear birds and crickets but flys, bugs might come in, so air conditioner is recommended

The property is beautiful and the donkeys, cows, dogs, and cats were all so wonderful to be able to see and visit. The property owners are lovely - we got to have some good conversations with them. It’s tucked away in the country which is exactly what we wanted, but it’s only a 10 minute drive to Forestville for fishing, and 30 minutes to Lanesboro for the shops and restaurants. We had an amazing time and will definitely book here again.

Wonderful farm location

Tammy and Dan were most accommodating in ensuring our needs were met. We chose this location due to being close to family homes and Forestville Park and it was perfect for our needs. The apartment was very comfortable and well stocked with necessities. Copper and the kitties made us not miss our fur kids as much and were very fun to interact with. Would love to stay here again on a future visit and would recommend to anyone in the area needing a place to stay.

Wonderful and relaxing !

The serenity in the country, the hospitality of Tammy and Dan and the pet therapy of Copper and the black kitties was what we needed. The day we arrived the monarch’s were migrating and had gathered in one of the trees on the property. It was magical to see so many gathered in one place. The bed was very comfortable and the towels plentiful.

On The Farm

Peaceful and quiet place in the beauty of green farmland. We needed to get out of the city for a few days and this fit the bill. Our host, "Eik" was welcoming and told us lots of stories about his farm. We met the donkeys and dog Copper. One of the things we would recommend is more lighting - the apartment was quite dark. We are older readers and the lack of lamps made it difficult. Perhaps move the large lamp on the dresser in the bedroom to the side of the bed and add another lamp in the living room. The kitchen had most of everything we needed except for bowls - no serving sized bowls were to be found.

A little bit of heaven!

What a special place! We were greeted by a friendly dog and two adorable kittens. Check in was a breeze, thr door open. Instructions were all listed with any information we could possibly want or need, but oh so good to have. Spotlessly clean, well furnished. Comfortable couch, bed, etc. Everything we would possibly need, i.e. wifi, television, fridge, coffee maker AND fresh coffee, etc. Beautiful flowers all over their beautiful yard, and all the peace and quiet you would need. Love the donkeys and cows as well. Very friendly hosts, we had a very nice stay in the beautiful countryside. Thanks from us both!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this immaculately clean, homey, and well-appointed home. The escape into the country after exploring nearby bicycling trails, state parks, antique malls and eateries was blissful. Our host Tammy was super helpful and immediately responsive to all inquiries. Highly recommended!
