This home was perfect even though there were only 4 of us. We appreciated that there were no bunk beds and our adult children were able to spread out and have our own spaces in comfort. We enjoyed the private location with close proximity to everything we had planned. The goat therapy was awesome! The hosts answered all of our questions and gave great recommendations on things to do. We will definitely book in the future if we are back in the area.
Place was great. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend staying with Josh and Amy.
