This property was perfect for our stay. Pet friendly. The farm animals were so cool. We loved being on a farm with such great views. The host was timely in answering our messages. Easy to find. Easy access to many good highways. The small town of Blue Ridge had some good eateries. Home cooking at its best and one had great pizza.

Amazing host, gorgeous land, and such precious animals!! The place was clean, well stocked, and comfortable! My boyfriend and I stayed here while we were traveling searching for fossils. The animals are super cool, the dog will come up to you and let you pet it, and the best part is none of the animals chased you. Tammy was also very nice and communicative! This place was honestly so cute and so nice, I definitely want to come back again.

Happy animal farm

Adorable clean cottage. Well stocked and comfortable. Lots of friendly animals- alpaca, emu, goats, ducks, chickens and a beautiful Tom turkey who follows you everywhere with his feathers fluffed. Owners are very friendly and give a very informative tour. Very quiet and peaceful with bright stars.

Sweet and Cozy

This is a beautiful studio cottage on a larger farm. Our stay was great - quiet, easy, and relaxing. The cottage is nicely furnished with Texas accents in lovely shades of blue. The farm has lovely animals all around that you can watch while you drink coffee on the porch. The owners were super responsive. We were super happy with this comfy find.
