There are free range chickens, Cody and Ditsy (horses), and Wilbur and Maple (pot-belly pigs). Don't worry they are all very friendly. We also have 2 historic buildings on-site.

Adorable and peaceful place to stay. The cottage has everything you could need. In the country but short and easy commute to town.
The cottage is off the beaten path which is perfect for a secluded getaway. It is clean and comfortable and nicely appointed. Communication with the host was excellent.
