- Finding the place was easy. Using Apple Maps or Google Maps on your phone will get you there without a hiccup.
- As soon as you drive onto the property you'll see the horses and goats, which was a wonderful welcome.
- Julie (the owner) already had everything ready for us, we didn't really need to "check in", but I'm sure glad I stopped by to do so. In chatting with her, I quickly learned a lot. She has an energy that is one-of-a-kind, it's very calming and makes you feel safe...you'd just have to chat with her to understand. What she does as a job isn't described by her as a job, but instead a passion. You'll quickly learn that she changes lives...she saves lives...and it is without a doubt exactly what she was meant to do.
We were very lucky during our stay, there were some adorable baby goats running around and they loved being held...so much so, they'd fall asleep in your arms. Do you need more activity? There's a dog that will fetch a ball until you can't throw it anymore. There are chickens that like some petting too, but you need to sit down and be calm...they'll let you pet them if you don't chase after them. The sheep want to sniff you and get some scratches too...but good luck with that, their coats are so thick! They'll take whatever they can get, they just want love too. There was a barn with three new kittens. It also had rabbits and chinchillas. They're a little tricky to catch, but once you have them in your lap, they love the attention and didn't try to run off or bite you. There are peacocks and pigs and of course the horses. It's a small zoo, and everyone in it loves attention! It's wonderful.
- We chose the camper as our sleeping quarters and it was perfect, we love it! Everything about the camper was clean and serviceable. The firepit and gas grill outside both got used and were great.
- Some folks always find something to complain about. If you're picky, you might want to find a 5-star hotel that caters to all that. If you want a good place to stay, knowing you have an excellent host, and you like the farm life and campers, this will be above and beyond what you're looking for. I'd stay there over and over again.
- Thanks, Jullie!!!
