We had a great stay! Owners were very friendly and helpful. Our kids fell in love with their dog (pretty sure that was their favorite part of our whole trip!). Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking to stay in the area.

We visited with my parents and twin toddlers. It was a great property and my kids loved Leo the dog and visiting to pigs in their pen. The place was very nice and it worked out perfect that my parents had their space down stairs with the kitchen and bathroom close to them and us and our kids stayed in the upstairs area that was plenty of room for us and our 2 pack n plays. It was quiet and peaceful and easy to communicate with the owners.

Great place in Grass Valley. The second bedroom was a separate entry upstairs and outside so that was different. But great spot.

Sleeping 8 and calling it a two-bedroom is a stretch. It is a lovely studio apartment downstairs with large couch, queen bed, kitchen and bathroom. There are two sofa beds upstairs, accessible by an external staircase…no bathroom up there, so you’ll have to walk outside in the middle of the night if you need to go, waking up anybody sleeping in the main floor apartment. There was no indoor space to dine, only old outdoor table and chairs.

The host was very responsive and the location was easy to find. It was great to see the animals and a loving couple of puppers greeting us as we parked. We did not even realize that we had the upstairs too and stayed downstairs which had plenty of room and a good size kitchen. Would stay here again.

Needed a place to stay overnight in Grass Valley after our Thanksgiving Family dinner. Great location, great accommodations, and fun time on the farm! Would recommend!

Everything was lovely. It was a great stay! Cute, cozy, and had everything we needed. My husband and I were there with a friend, and the only thing is that we didn't realize the upper loft room has an outside staircase to get to it. It's right there, so not like a long trek, but I felt bad that our friend had to walk around outside to come in for the restroom in the middle of the night. But that's really a personal preference (or maybe just a girl thing). If you don't care, or maybe if it's your kids and they don't care, then it's really a perfect little spot! My husband and I would go back by ourselves and be perfectly happy. So, great for a couple by themselves or singles (like a single person, or a group of single people that don't mind sharing the bed and the couch and then they don't have to walk around outside at night).

The upper floor is separate from the lower - access from the outside only. That makes it a little harder with younger kids. If sleeping upstairs, need to go outside first, then enter downstairs for using the bathroom.All imaginable supplies were there if needed - a place made with lots of love!It looks more secluded on the pictures. There is a den right adjacent to the cabin and then the house.Kitchen is complete, but old frying pans. Clean in general, just lots of dust from outside.Cute dogs on property.

Cozy farm

Loved our stay here, was very surprised on how clean and nice everything was. The farm animals were great to show the kids and they loved Leo, the dog, he was super nice and would walk around with them around the land.

Nice place for the price

Animals were very cute and the host was very laid back and responsive. The place is pretty small and not emuculate so people looking for a more hotel like experience may be disappointed but it worked fine for us.

This two story cabin was perfect for our family stay. We enjoyed all the animals at the farm. Leo and snoopy the dog greeted us upon arrival. They were super friendly and helped us not miss our dogs so much. The host was very responsive to questions we had and didn’t have a whole list of to-do’s upon our departure. We hope to go back again soon .

This property is FANTASTIC! Tucked away in the mountains? Absolutely gorgeous. The house check was smooth, host kept us informed and soooooo clean and decorated so cute. The greeting dog (Leo) was absolutely wonderful and friendly. We were only in town overnight for a concert and I wish I had booked this place for the whole weekend to explore this area. This place would be great for a family with the upstairs sleeping loft. The little sweet amenities were so thoughtful. Candy jars for snacking, great coffee station with keurig and creamers. The host really put some thought into decorating and stocking this house. Thank you for sharing your guesthouse with us!
