We came here to spend one last vacation as a family of 3 before our 21 month old gets a little sister. As soon as we pulled in lance greeted us w a bubble station and bunny rabbits in the yard. From then on we were able to unwind. Our daughter played in the fully fenced in yard filled w kids activities, woke up in the morning to the sight of ponies and sheep and a camel right outside of the kitchen. She was able to help feed the animals, wander around and say hi, eat fresh eggs from the coop, and fresh fruit picked off the trees. It never stopped being an interactive experience, even outside of the actual tour.
Lance and Todd were the sweetest hosts and it felt like we’d known them forever. They clearly love what they do and are not only knowledgeable regarding the animals, but they definitely also understand kids. Having a toddler and being pregnant has made relaxing difficult these last few months, and it felt really good to be able to sit back and know that my kid was totally entertained in a way that I could actually enjoy with her. The animals were just as fun for us too! At night we were able to sit under the stars w the baby monitor and have a date night style dinner while she slept soundly.
I was also happy w the cottage itself. It’s small but it’s completely redone and is really nice inside. The decor is great and modern and the kitchen has what you need. There was a great welcome basket w snacks and plenty of coffee.
We went to Gilroy Gardens which would be a great day trip for the 4 and up year olds and was beautiful, but I honestly wish we would’ve just stayed at the farm the whole time and skipped the extra expense and the crowds.
We can’t wait to come again!!!!
