Visitor Feedback
We had a magical stay with our two boys! The goats were enchanting and our boys loved feeding and spending time with them each day. The location was great for a variety of things to do from beach trips and eating out to nature walks, and Adam was extremely helpful providing recommendations and maps for things to do in the area.
Beautiful quiet location, exactly what we were looking for. The space is kept neat and tidy. The animals are so friendly I was able to sit down with my 6mo and pat them. There are some lovely drives and waterways to explore close by. Adam was super helpful with local info and accomodating to anything that we needed.
First time ever using Airbnb and I am absolutely impressed with how great my first trip was for a weekend getaway. My partner and I definitely recommend this place and we will be coming back here to stay again. The yurt was set up so nicely and very spacious I must say! It basically had everything you needed ..
