Only real issue we had was that the shower in the back bathroom was out of order. Other than that, we loved it there. The hosts was welcoming, the animals on site were cool to watch. Even visited by one of their cats.We'd rent this one again.

Awesome experience!

My entire family had an excellent time at the farm. The hosts were both super kind and gave an awesome tour of the animals on the property. The place was stayed was clean, quiet, and reasonably priced. It is also in a great location if you are looking to fish or hit the beaches. I highly recommend the Rise N Shine Farm!!

About the host

Host profile image

We are husband and wife Army veterans who have lived many places. We settled in Wewahitchka in 2021 by way of Maryland. We had a farm there as well and brought all the animals that could make the trip with us. We enjoy sharing our animals and beautiful property with others so they can enjoy the natural beauty here in Gulf County, Florida.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy living in the country and being part of this small town setting yet being just a short drive to the most beautiful beaches in the world. We enjoy going to the beach at the state parks, kayaking, biking and hiking. We love it here and hope you will to.

What makes this property unique

Our property is situated on a farm with full view of trees and wildlife, along with our furry and feathery family members right out your front porch. The fence to the pasture is just outside your front door where the animals will greet you from the fence to say hello. This isn't just a place to stay, this is an experience that your family will remember for a lifetime. Included with your stay is a private farm tour and access to kayaks to use in our local waterways.
