Small children and babies are welcome, however the cottage is not childproof as far as wall outlets in cabinets. We do not have a wheelchair accessible shower or bathroom. Keep in mind we are a working farm; the cottage is located in the middle of our barnyard. You will hear animal noises such as barks, brays, and neighs. Our sheep, donkeys and goats are noisy mostly at feeding time. The livestock fencing is electric. You and or your pet will get shocked if you touch the hot wire. Our barn cats wander freely about the property and are very friendly. Our dogs are separated from the cottage by a fence. We try hard to have our dogs inside the main house when you arrive, however if they are outside they will bark at you a lot when you pull in. our neighbors dogs will bark too. The cottage faces our pond and you will hear bullfrogs and peepers singing at night. In the spring and summer months although we do treat for insects you will see insects such as mosquitoes and flies outside. If animal noises, animal smells, and the occasional insect are not your thing the cottage may not be the right place for you.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful location, amazing space, family and pet friendly, the host left no questions unanswered in the welcome email. Definitely a location we will visit again!
Amazing place to stay and bring four legged family members! They loved the experience as did I. Host was friendly and if I am ever in the area again will be back!!
We loved the cottage and the farm.Shannon was wonderful to work with. We needed a place to stay for the night with our dogs and she got us right in that night. The cottage was close to I95 and and theperfect halfway stop to Florida. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Florida.
Shannon is a great host. Check in and out was a breeze. The Cottage is cute and clean. When traveling up 95 North we will be staying there again.OH yes! And the farm animals were a joy to see and we fed a few. A great experience.
Quaint and cozy cottage. Beautiful farm setting. Would recommend to friends in the future who are traveling in the area. Location very convenient off I-95 and I-20.
This was such a great place to stay! Our family was looking for a unique place to unplug from technology and spend time together. Loved all the animals to watch and enjoy! We had a great time- even my teens without their devices.
I stayed here with my sister and two of our friends for overnight stop to break up our trip. The cottage was perfect! We loved sitting out by the fire pit with the lights on. The animals were very nice. Would definitely stay again!
We enjoyed our overnight stay at Dream Acres! We needed a place to rest our heads as we headed to Florida for a family cruise. My twin boys enjoyed see all of the animals.
The Cottage at Dream Acres was exactly what we needed. The cottage was nice and clean and the decorations added to the charm. The location was peaceful and we loved the small farm feel. We will absolutely come back to The Cottage on our next trip to the area.
Stayed at the cottage for a one night pit stop on our travels. Plenty of room for two people and two dogs. It couldn't have been more perfect for our needs.
This property was so super cute! From the decor, to all the aninals, to the property layout! It was perfect. I thouroughly enjoyed the peacefulness of the pond water fountain and the snuggles from the farm cats. The bed was comfortable and the cottage was clean as well. I would definitely come back for another stay if the opportunity comes up.
My husband, our 5 months old baby and I stayed at this beautiful farm when visiting family near by. It was a great change from the city life. We got greeted by 3 cute kitties. We had fun feeding and watching all farm animals (chickens, roosters, donkeys, alpacas, goats and beautiful horses). Owners were very welcoming and friendly. Place was very cute, clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. There is comfortable queen size bed instead of futon. We’ll definitely come back when visiting our family in future.
Overnight stay that felt like a mini dream vacation!
We always make a well-planned overnight stop on our trip to south each year- and this one has topped them all. The owner provides clear directions to a secure gated cottage- and then you enjoy your own little farm oasis… the goats, sheep, alpacas, mini donkeys, horses, chickens, barn cats, (I’m sure I’m missing somebody…) all happy to greet the newest guests! An animal lover’s dream. Or a nature lover’s happy place. The beds were super comfortable, and the cottage had all the needed amenities. Would highly recommend, and we will be booking again!
We had an amazing time here! This was our half way point on a 15 hr drive and it was so cozy and fun! We enjoyed the beautiful farm and had so much fun feeding the Alpacas & goats. The family was very nice and communicative. We had our two dogs and our infant. And they allowed us to check in at 4 in the morning, as our trip time was flexible. The farm fresh eggs were delicious and I bought some of their goat soap as well. You can’t beat sitting on a porch overlooking a farm, pond, and blue birds flying about. What a special stop! Thank you!!!

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 17, 2024
thank you so much for the kind words! Come back and see us again soon.
This was a beautiful cottage that had everything we needed inside and all the animals to love outside! Absolutely beautiful property and views everywhere, super kind owners who checked in by text with us and were very available, and very clean! The AC unit ran wonderfully cold all night on these 100 degree days and we were very comfortable. The owners thought of everything- extra fans, food to feed the animals, plenty of towels, and even eggs and goat milk soap samples! We loved the peace and serenity and so enjoyed this unplugged time with our kids and dogs. Also loved that there was a traditional coffee maker, coffee and filters (also kereg provided), ice cubes and coolies! Thanks so much for a great time!
Check in was super easy. Communication was great. The property was nice. The cottage was a cute little cottage. It was not the cleanest but it was not filthy. When we arrived we noticed dead bugs and dust throughout on the floors. Behind the futon bed definitely needed some attention. I read about the free roaming cats which I was okay with as I assumed they would mind their business and I would mind mine. Unfortunately, they stayed at the front door. So once that door opens they are right there walking up to your feet a d legs which scared my son a bit. Once one of the cats ran inside as we were trying to leave. Thankfully our dog was caged. Other than that the property was okay. I would recommend this property.
