What Our Guests Say

I have traveled all over the world and had lamb in Scotland and Ireland where lamb dishes are excellent. Your lamb even exceeded that. Our guests raved about it!
Thank YOU so much, Julie. The hand felted Nativity scene is absolutely exquisite, and oh so precious!! I will treasure it for years.
I can’t say enough about our stay on Gene and Julie’s farm. It was peaceful and storybook beautiful! We spent the first hour just walking around the property enjoying the sights and sounds of the animals on the farm, the garden and our private deck overlooking the mountains. The inside is spacious, fresh, clean and beautiful. The list of amenities goes above and beyond any AirBnB we’ve ever stayed at.
