Clean,I may have not read instructions well but would bring own plates/utensils. They're difficult to serve on. Amber provided fresh duck eggs - so generous! The kids loved gently interacting with the animals, though it was difficult to understand what interactions were ok and what weren't. Really lovely location, lovely host. Exact accommodation we were looking for!

Great little farm stay

This is a beautifully maintained mini working farm with a comfy barn and a wide range of animals to check out (some of the rescued). It's in the country and quiet but easy to get to, Amber is a great host, and the bed is comfy. I would definitely return.

Wonderful location

Such a wonderful vacation! Beautiful property that was warm and cozy on the cooler December mountain days. The animals are an added piece of joy to the stay. The sweet rescued animals are in good hands here too! Amber was so kind and helpful during our stay. We will be returning if our family remains close by :) so happy that we found this location

Nice getaway on a cute farm!

The check in process was a breeze when we arrived. The whole farm was so cute and nice to walk around. The miniature horses were adorable and seeing all the other animals definitely made the trip worth it. Gave us a little taste of the homestead life. The barn was set up so nicely inside and it felt like a comfy little home away from home. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay

What a wonderful property and even more wonderful host! Amber was incredible. She took the time to show us around and let us meet all of the animals. My sister loved petting Tom the Turkey. He was suprisingly very mellow. But the one who stole the show and I had to stop by to say hello was the sweetest little donkey. Amber also guided us to a beautiful hike called Blue Lady Mine nearby. If you love crystals and caves, you will love this hike!If we are in the area again, we are definitely staying at The Barn!

Amber was a lovely, generous host and we enjoyed our stay very much. Meeting her menagerie of animals and having fresh duck eggs for breakfast was delightful and made the stay memorable. The walk-up to the second floor apartment would be challenging for a disabled person.

Incredible experience

Peaceful property with very stylish and very clean barn. Our two sons were amazed with how many animals they could pet. Amber, our host gave us a bowl of carrots to feed to the sheep, donkeys, goats and horses. There are chickens, peacocks, turkey, ducks — we got fresh duck eggs for breakfast! It was an amazing experience for the whole family. Our 2 large dogs were very welcome and had a great time as well.

My adult son and I were deer hunting in the Palomar area and our usual place was booked up. This place was perfect for our needs and was pretty close. Amber was a great host and introduced us to some of the many animals she has adopted. I really liked Ricky the donkey. My son wants to bring my grandkids up for a stay so they can enjoy Amber's petting zoo. I really enjoyed this place.

A true heaven.

Amber is absolutely amazing. Greeted us the moment we arrived and was also there for any questions or concerns we had. She also gave us fresh duck eggs, and they were YUMMY!!!The property is so unique with chickens, roosters, ducks, peacocks, ostriches, goats, donkey, mini horses, regular horses all enclosed and there for viewing (bring some carrots, apples, lettuce) they love it!! Plenty of space to go for a walk along country roads. The best part is that the place is so far from civilization, there's no sound of traffic, planes and the general city sounds, just peace and quiet, with many shiny stars during the night. Fireworks are 100% forbidden so we really enjoyed spending the quiet July 4th long weekend far away from LA.

Sweet find in the backcountry

Very quiet at night. Expected bird noises from the roosters, turkeys, ducks, chickens and pheasants. All the birds were very respectful. All the other animals were very polite as well. Bed was comfortable and the place has character. Fresh duck eggs were provided and they were delicious. Enjoyed our stay and ten minutes to/from Hawkwatch winery….the best wine on the North Mountain Wine Trail. Thanks Amber and Steve.
