Amazing week! We’ve never seen our kids (15 and 12) smile so much. The host couldn’t do enough for us and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The pool was fantastic, and the animals were so cute and friendly. We’re very sorry to be leaving and would happily come back!

Property overall was nice. The vrbo was a cute little place to stay. Daughter loved the loft. We went out and fed the animals every morning. If you want a quiet place to stay with an average 20 to 30 minutes from places to go, great place to stay. We named the alpaca Jeff

Everything was perfect about this stay! The animals were so entertaining! The house was very clean. My kids loved the pool and hot tub. We even had access to a washer and dryer. It just a 10 min drive from stores and restaurants (and Costco). I recommend this location and would stay here again.

Our stay at the Tipsy Goat Ranch was amazing. The place was immaculate and decorated so perfectly. The goats, lambs and alpaca were so sweet and entertaining, especially being able to feed them right from the bedroom window. The jacuzzi on the deck was a great end to the day.I would definitely recommend a stay here if you get the chance,

We checked in late, but the host was reachable. First impressions - this cabin was so cute! It smelled like Christmas. The animals were out. The patio lights were on. It was so welcoming. They had tons of snacks (my 12 yo old was on top of that immediately). Everything was clean and cozy.

A nice place to get away. A bit smaller than anticipated, but it was sufficient. The pool was very cold. Even on an 80 sunny day, it was too much. The water features didn't seem to be working either. The hot tub was plenty warm though. The animals are a great added attraction.

We had a fabulous time feeding the animals and relaxing at The Outside Inn. Our 11 year old enjoyed sleeping up in the loft. Our hard to please 15 year old son even enjoyed spending time with the animals. We would definitely stay here again.

Miss it already!

Our family of 4 stayed here for the second time and we loved it so much we hope to make it an annual adventure! The Outside Inn is magical, charming, and rustic. Being greeted every morning by goats at our window and being able to enjoy the playground and pool were huge bonuses for our kids.

Super cute property. Actual house is snug but maximizes space and fit two adults and two kids. Kids enjoyed feeding animals, hot tub, and exploring the ranch.Address is a little hidden, so detailed/specific directions from host were very handy. Host was very easy to communicate with.

Exceeded our expectations on all levels. Sad we didn’t have more time to spend there. The barn turned home was amazing- home sweet home feeling. The access to animals was top tier. There’s really no reason to leave the property if you come prepared with meals. The house manual was . This could be a romantic getaway, a weekend reset, and great for all ages.
This was my favorite - feeding the animals from the primary bedroom window.
Each of these babies are named, and loved so well.
The peaceful sunset was beautiful

We stayed one night celebrating our seven-year-old birthday with our nine year old as well and we all had a blast. If anyone has an Animal lover or young farmer, they will truly enjoy feeding the animals. We must’ve spent hours when we added up the time just feeding the animals and laughing. Thank you so much, Heather for your kindness And the awesome coffee will be back.

AMAZING!

We had the best time at the Tipsy Goat playing with the goats, Llama, chickens and Rabbits. We liked that we were allowed to go in with the animals and love on them as well as feed them. They are all well fed and lovingly taken care of. The house was extremely clean and cozy. There was a lot of coffee and snack options available. The owner thought of everything. We are looking forward to coming back soo!

This was truly an experience to stay here at the Tipsy Goat Ranch. We loved feeding the animals, enjoyed the hot tub, just be there and relax. Everything was clean, the house was full of fun quotes and nice details. You can feel that Heather wants you to feel at home and enjoy your time there. I would recommend to stay here! We stayed for 3 nights. When we entered the house in te evening, our first thought was: 3 nights won't be enough. It was so welcoming, the complete atmosphere, the bounding with the animals, all the details... We will definitely come back. This is a place you could easily stay for a week. We planned to visit San Diego on our first day, but we decided to stay for a full day at the ranch and we all loved this day. The next day we went to San Diego and it was a short and easy 30min drive. This was by far the best and most memorable accomodation of our roadtrip.
