This two story cabin was perfect for our family stay. We enjoyed all the animals at the farm. Leo and snoopy the dog greeted us upon arrival. They were super friendly and helped us not miss our dogs so much. The host was very responsive to questions we had and didn’t have a whole list of to-do’s upon our departure. We hope to go back again soon .

Cozy farm

Loved our stay here, was very surprised on how clean and nice everything was. The farm animals were great to show the kids and they loved Leo, the dog, he was super nice and would walk around with them around the land.

Nice place for the price

Animals were very cute and the host was very laid back and responsive. The place is pretty small and not emuculate so people looking for a more hotel like experience may be disappointed but it worked fine for us.
