Wonderful farm location
Tammy and Dan were most accommodating in ensuring our needs were met. We chose this location due to being close to family homes and Forestville Park and it was perfect for our needs. The apartment was very comfortable and well stocked with necessities. Copper and the kitties made us not miss our fur kids as much and were very fun to interact with. Would love to stay here again on a future visit and would recommend to anyone in the area needing a place to stay.

Wonderful and relaxing !
The serenity in the country, the hospitality of Tammy and Dan and the pet therapy of Copper and the black kitties was what we needed. The day we arrived the monarch’s were migrating and had gathered in one of the trees on the property. It was magical to see so many gathered in one place. The bed was very comfortable and the towels plentiful.

Comfy Farm Retreat
We stayed here 4 nights to attend a wedding. The rental is well stocked and well furnished, very clean and comfortable, especially the king bed. Great hiking at nearby Forestville Mystery Cave SP. Highly recommended.

On The Farm
Peaceful and quiet place in the beauty of green farmland. We needed to get out of the city for a few days and this fit the bill. Our host, "Eik" was welcoming and told us lots of stories about his farm. We met the donkeys and dog Copper. One of the things we would recommend is more lighting - the apartment was quite dark. We are older readers and the lack of lamps made it difficult. Perhaps move the large lamp on the dresser in the bedroom to the side of the bed and add another lamp in the living room. The kitchen had most of everything we needed except for bowls - no serving sized bowls were to be found.

A little bit of heaven!
What a special place! We were greeted by a friendly dog and two adorable kittens. Check in was a breeze, thr door open. Instructions were all listed with any information we could possibly want or need, but oh so good to have. Spotlessly clean, well furnished. Comfortable couch, bed, etc. Everything we would possibly need, i.e. wifi, television, fridge, coffee maker AND fresh coffee, etc. Beautiful flowers all over their beautiful yard, and all the peace and quiet you would need. Love the donkeys and cows as well. Very friendly hosts, we had a very nice stay in the beautiful countryside. Thanks from us both!
