    Quiet rural area. Enjoyed all the animals especially the small black calf who liked his head rubbed. Bed was comfy, AC was a blessing during the heat wave as was the steady breeze out on the patio. Kitchen was well set up for cooking.

Want to pet more animals, there is a petting farm less than a mile away where you can even partake in goat yoga!
