MonaLisaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Great place to stay! We visited for my mother-in-law's birthday weekend. It was three adults and a mid-size dog. We all had the best time. I had been looking for a pool and fenced yard. We got both! Although it wasn't a normal size pool which is shown in the pictures listed, we thoroughly enjoyed it! It fit all three of us comfortably so we could relax and chat while enjoying the scenery and the quiet space. The views and the area is just what was listed and expected. We all couldn't get over how peaceful and quiet it had been. Inside the home was absolutely comfortable and cozy. We gave my mother-in-law the larger room, but my husband and I still enjoyed the twin beds and personal bathroom. We are so thankful we were able to book as I've noticed this place is booked for quite some time this summer. Thank you Susan for being so accommodating with all of my questions and allowing us to stay!

JackieRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Words can not express how absolutely beautiful this property is. I didn’t want to leave , I’m actually already planning to book again. If that doesn’t say much , I don’t know what will. The pond was so cute , and has so much wildlife ! It was ridiculously peaceful. You can see So many stars at night. I will say it is in the middle of no where so pack accordingly. It’s like 20 mins drive to go to any major store.

Relaxing Modern Ranch Stay + Friendly Animals

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We enjoyed the privacy, sounds of nature, peace, and quiet. There is a cabin being built next to it, but it is still in progress. We were happy having area to ourselves. I love the large windows in the cabin and being surrounded by trees everywhere. It was so refreshing. The cabin is also very clean and love the decor. Keep in mind there is no oven, and it is a mini fridge, so don't over pack on fridge/freezer food. The cabin faces the sunset and is shaded very nicely. The goats, pigs, donkeys, and chickens were a short walk, but you didn't see from cabin. Loved the animals! I loved watching the cows and horses from a distance and hearing some of the farm sounds. Overall, this is just what we needed to escape from the city and to reset.
