Lovely Remote Ranch

It’s a lovely ranch, the property is stunning and the hosts were kind enough to show us around. It had everything you need, my only caution would be that the beds in the room with the bunk were definitely not made for two adults

Farm stay

We had a fantastic time. Margot and John were wonderful hosts and my 5 yr old loved helping out with the chores. The cabin is as described and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked. Margot dropped off her homemade goat cheese and bread and it was a real treat. We absolutely plan to return again next year!

A sweet farm get away

The small house where we stayed was humble, clean, and nicely decorated with great books on the shelves. It was lovely to be by a pasture with wide skies and green rolling hills all around. At night we opened the windows to hear the peepers and farm animals quietly living alongside us. Margot and John were gracious hosts. We loved joining Margot for morning chores and meeting all the animals, especially the dogs.

Best place we have ever stayed!

John and Margot have a jewel of a cabin and are wonderful people. The cabin is cozy, the animals are adorable, and getting to be part of the help even in freezing weather was a treat for me and the family. Couldnt have asked for anything better, it was perfect. If you get the chance do yourself a favor and come visit the ranch!

Wonderful relaxing stay

We had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay. John and Margot were excellent and gracious hosts! My daughter and I chose to help with morning chores so we got to be up close to the animals which was great! They taught us a lot about the animals. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here. We will most certainly stay here again when we are down that way.

Very kind owners

Margot and John were incredibly kind and welcoming. My partner and I stayed over the weekend, and got welcomed with brownies and shown around the farm for chores. Completely optional but completely worth it to see the animals and get to know both of them! We had our car get stuck due to weather at the end of our stay, and they offered us food and helped us move our car. Incredible kindness and we will be back!

Wonderful stay!

My husband, almost 2 year old and I had a great time staying here! The cabin was so clean and very cozy - I was very sad to leave at the end of our trip! It is centrally located and the owners gave us some great recommendations of things to see/do nearby! We loved seeing the animals every day and learning about the farm!
