Such an important review! Our farm is meant to be a bit of a destination and not just place to be be go-go-go all over town and then sleep at the farm. Set aside some time for only the farm and family, and then head out to the roller coaster or to a nice dinner or whatever the mountains are calling for you and the fam!

Amazing Stay

The Fairy Tale Barn and farm was a dream come true for our family. The kids loved waking up and going to see the animals every day, swinging on the swing, jumping on the trampoline, and enjoying the hot tub. Even during a snowstorm! Listing had everything we needed and more, honestly one of our best stays yet. Don’t miss out, stay here.

Had a great time!

We had a wonderful stay at the farm. The renovated barn where we stayed was beautiful and had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. The back patio with hot tub overlooking pasture with horses and llamas was so peaceful. The farm animals were so friendly and loved attention and petting. Zip line, water slide, and relaxing on tubes in creek kept my granddaughter busy. Loved every minute!

My family and I had a great time. Our pet seemed to have fun as well especially feeding the goats rabbits and the little pig. The little goat was liking our little dog through the fence. Our kids are older but they seemed to enjoy themself as well. The hot tub was especially refreshing in freezing weather and the process of getting in and out was fun. Very cold but refreshing. Having a fire was also convenient, with there little store shed. No smores on our visit but had the fire wood. The little country store/gas station down the road was also convenient and a treat. The sandwiches were great. The host was very helpful with info and and would definitely recommend this place especially with kids.

Completely Unique

We loved our stay!! Connie and Enrique have done such a wonderful job! All sorts of creative and whimsical additions to the property. Our 4 year old loved all the animals especially! There was a small water/plumbing leak causing a bad smell in one of the rooms (which was going to be used by our toddler), so that made it pretty much unusable during our stay but Connie responded promptly and I'm sure they will have it fixed up very soon. Other than that issue, it was absolutely amazing and charming accomodations and scenery!! 😊

Fun around every corner

My family enjoyed staying at this property. The owners have done such a beautiful job adding little features which encourage families to be outside and explore. We really had no need to leave the property and explore the surrounding area because there was so much to keep us entertained. The owners were extremely responsive to our questions. We hope to get back there soon. I would recommend if you are planning to book Fairytale that you also book the unit on the top floor of the barn and invite friends or family to enjoy this property with you. There was a family who booked the upstairs unit and overlapped part of our stay and the sound of people walking above is easily heard in the lower unit. Fortunately, the guests in the upper unit weren't up too late and it wasn't a nuisance.

So happy you found yourself so entertained during your stay!!! Yes, there is an upstairs and a downstairs, it made sense to split the barn into two units so more families could afford a farm experience and we are so happy we made this decision!

Magical Family Vacay!

Our family had THE BEST time! I have a 4, 3 and 5 month old. The 4 and 3 year old are full throttle from the time they wake up until they crash usually at 10pm or later. This is the perfect place to get out all that energy! They went to bed around 8 every night and I’ve never seen my 4 year old sit so still as he did in the petting zoo with the bunnies lol! I cannot recommend it enough. The accommodations, all the outdoor activities, etc.. Highly recommend bringing your family. My husband and I enjoyed it so much we will be coming back just us for our anniversary. It’s so peaceful and relaxing! Pro tip: bring produce to feed the animals in the petting zoo. The animals are so friendly and docile even with rambunctious kids like ours.

Beautiful Little Paradise

This is a quality property in a semi secluded area in the mountains. Property is not near towns or stores, so you would need to bring your food, etc. with you. Property is amazing for children and even for us 70 year old children. Plenty of activities for all to do. Pickle Ball court, tube riding in creek, water slide, small zip line, kayaks, games, lots of animalls to feed and pet, plenty of walking trails both flat and difficult and so much more to do. Around every corner you will find Connie's artistic side displayed. Several options for lodging on property to choose from. We saw several repeat visitors who had come back a second or third time. A great place to bring kids of all ages and enjoy all the mountains have to offer. Very relaxing and refreshing place to get away from it all. Webb Watson

This is an awesome property

It’s just like all of the other reviewers posted, but we’d like to add a couple more things. Alpacas were very friendly. Goats and bunnies were domesticated and would cuddle with us when we gave them food. Saw chickens, pheasants and a peacock - first time our kids saw one in real life. The trail in the woods is fantastic, every 100 yards you would see something that the owners made, a teepee, benches, rocking chairs, a zip line, a hammock, kids playground toys and much more. The stay was exactly like it was described, hot tub was working and the place was well cleaned. We fished in the stream, saw ducks and donkeys and made a fire. Also bought eggs - $3/dozen on an honor system. Oh, we also used the trampoline, the over the river swing and had a corn hole competition. Beautiful stay, would recommend for families with kids of all ages. You can tell that the owners put a ton of effort into this property. Thank you!!
