"Cottage was perfect! The fresh eggs given to us by the host made for an awesome breakfast! The host was great! My 2 energetic boys loved every animal. The host made sure to take my boys through every fence/gate there was to get my boys front and center with the animals. This isn’t just about money him seeing my boys smile and run around with the animals definitely made his day! Left about an hour ago and my boys already asked 17 times when we are going back! "
