About this property

Cozy Guesthouse on Big Sheep Farm


Your cozy guest house is tucked away in 112 acres of rolling pasture and woods on our family farm. With hundreds of sheep, working border collies, friendly pigs, horses, chickens, turkeys, and honeybees, there is always something interesting going on. Your visit is private and personal, because we host only one group at a time. The bedroom is on the second floor: one bunk bed, one twin, and one double. You have your own fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. Despite our country location, grocery stores and amenities are just 10 minutes away in Sunbury and Danville. Explore our woods and fields, curl up with a good book by the pond, watch the peacefully grazing sheep: this is a great place to relax and be in touch with nature. Families are welcome: for safety's sake, children must be supervised at all times. There are many other guest attractions in the region, such as Knoebel's Amusement Park, Clyde Peelings Reptile Museum, and Tobias Wild Animal Park. Dave and I are your hosts: we live steps away from the guesthouse. Note: when we say Sleeps 6, we feel the space is best suited when the 6 includes kids. 6 adults will seem a bit crowded.

First time staying here. Was in town for parents weekend at university. Would highly recommend and will likely stay again in the future. The hosts were very accommodating and welcomed you to explore the property, with certain precautions.

Great and unique stay

Other than a bit of trouble finding the place due to road construction and a confused GPS, our stay was lovely and the owners were very responsive and friendly. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon.

Memorable time with my family.

Our family recently had a wonderful stay at owens farm. The guest house was cozy and clean, plenty of space for my daughters. We loved exploring the farm, petting the animals. We would highly recommend this farm stay to anyone with kids looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway

Family trip

We were so happy to be able to stay at Owens farm again this summer… my daughters and I had the pleasure last summer and we’re so excited to bring my boyfriend this time around. He enjoyed the honey and all the animals and we can’t wait to come back and order fresh lamb and turkey next season!!! Thank you again Owens Family!!

If you like rural, this is for you!

We loved staying on the farm. It beats a hotel any day of the week. The bunk room was perfect for our family. Lots of space and all the amenities you need. The space is well appointed and organized. Arriving late and night was a concern but very easy to find. Perfect for the Bucknell Graduation weekend. Thank you!

Beautiful stay outside of town

We loved this place. We plan to return again in the future. We had a rain a few days but they had rain boots available for guests in a variety of sizes! Caroline gave us a tour of the property and invited us to be a part of activities going on during our stay. Dave gave us a bee keeping lesson and let us all taste some hunny right off the hive! We even got to see one of the queens! We were free to roam and come and go as we pleased. I was wishing we had more free time to just enjoy the farm. Next time we will plan less activities to lounge more. They provided plently of towels for our group of 6 and the kitchen had everything we needed to make large meals. The location was also perfect for our needs. The farm is kind of in the middle between danville and shamokin dam, we have family and friends in both towns so thar was very convenient.If youre thinking about staying here just book it! You won't regret it!

A great place for a family who is interested in the workings of a farm. Caroline and David were very nice and willing to take the kids and my family around the farm to see the pigs and demonstrate sheep herding with the dogs. It's a big farm, so be prepared for some walking if you're going to check it out. The loft was plenty of space and plenty of beds - very spacious upstairs and down. The downstairs couch is a pull-out sofa which is super convenient. We really only planned to eat breakfast there so we didn't cook much and can't speak to what's available. The nearest grocery store is 10 minutes away. It's definitely rustic accommodations but perfect for an active family and you couldn't have nicer hosts. If you're planning to stay here as a base for Knoebels, know that it's 22 minutes away.When we checked in, the upstairs was VERY warm and we turned the AC down hoping it would fix it before we went out for the afternoon. After we returned, David attempted to fix it but wasn't able so he went out the next day and got a new unit. It would have been good to know that was an issue before we checked in at 3, but they took care of it as soon as they could after we reported it - it was a warm first night, but the next night was fine.

Amazing Experience

Great time staying on David and Caroline's farm. They were great hosts and you felt like you were visiting family. We were free to roam the farm and visit the animals. My husband would go out with David in the morning to do farm chores. He loved learning about the daily farm duties. We also got a bee keeping lesson-very interesting!. The barn was cute and comfortable and perfect for our stay. It was just enough room. There is wifi but no tv. At first I was worried about that, but we decided to stay anyway. We took advantage of family time and played games so we didn't even miss the tv. The farm dogs and cats were adorable and friendly and would come up to you to pet them. The 2 pigs were so cute running to greet us when we were going to see them. We also got to see the pony and the horse which was loving the attention from us. The location is central to many area attractions, but you may also want to leave some time to spend on the farm. We really wished we had more time to spend there but were so booked up with visiting attractions. It was a great time for us and our two 20 year old children. We really enjoyed it! I highly recommend the farm for families with younger children and even grandparents wanting to take their grandchildren on a memorable vacation. We have a few friends that heard about our stay and want to visit. Thanks David and Caroline for a vacation that we will always talk about! We are looking forward to visiting you again in the spring! Have a great winter!

Wonderful experience

Our son attends Bucknell University and we needed a place to stay for family weekend. When I saw this listing on VRBO, I thought it would make the stay unique and more like a home. It met our expectations. The farm is beautiful and is there to explore. We walked all around the fields exploring and seeing the animals. The loft area is where you sleep. The beds were super comfortable; the comforters were made with their sheep wool and were so warm and cozy(I wish you could buy them); There is no TV. I’m a person that needs to sleep with a TV. Well-I slept better than ever and will probably remove the tv from my bedroom. Caroline and David are really nice people. They told us the history of the place and made you feel very welcome. Bring some cash because you will want to leave with their honey. Delicious. All in all, we had a wonderful time staying at the Owen Farm.

Great family farm

My daughters and I only got to stay at the farm for a brief time so we didn’t get to enjoy all it had to offer, but what a time we had. The sunrise walk up to see the horses and pigs was amazing. Memories we’ll never forget!! We will definitely be back, and stay longer next time, to be able to enjoy the farm and neighboring activities more!!

We enjoyed our stay

We came to the area for Knobles. I traveled with 3 kids 14, 9, & 7. They said it was the best vacation they had and can’t wait to go back to the farm next year. Caroline and Dave we very friendly and showed my kids the sheep, horses, and fish. We would definitely stay again.

Pastoral, tidy working farm guest house

We stayed for parents’ weekend at Bucknell. The layout is a great-room/kitchen with a loft where everyone sleeps in one big room on bunk beds. We camp a lot, so that was fine. The great room was perfect for unplugged family time. We played games and had a wonderful time connecting. The kids loved playing with the barn cats and watching the sheep, goats, etc mill about. Very comfortable AC, bathroom clean and kitchen was well equipped.

David and Carole were terrific. The kids really enjoyed feeding the animals. I enjoyed watching them explore. We all learned a lot about a small meat farm. It was a great place to stay while we visited Knoebels. We will be back. Thank you guys.
