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!

This is a perfect place to get away from the city and feel nostalgic about the memories I had when I lived in a small village. It’s a cozy, warm little cottage—perfect for staying a few days. The setup and furniture in the house have everything we need, even for just a one-night stay. The room is clean and spotless, and very well maintained. The host, Tom, is very friendly and helped introduce us to his animals. We arrived during the first snowfall of the winter season, and the view outside the window was gorgeous. The pig and chickens were hiding in the barn to stay warm. The LaMancha goats were eating grass and even let me pet them when they came close. There were also geese walking around the yard. Overall, it was a fantastic experience staying at this little cottage.

We were looking for a place to stay while in town for a volleyball tournament. This space worked out perfectly. We will be back! Next time hopefully we’ll have time to enjoy the farm. Thank you!
