Amazing!
This was the perfect little place for my husband and I to have a quick little getaway. We had so much fun seeing all the alpacas and other little animals. Perfect location between St. Mary’s and Emporium making it easy for us to travel back and forth between attractions.

The property was exactly what I needed for my stay in St. Mary’s. I enjoyed seeing the animals and the host were amazing. I did have an AT&T hotspot and was able to connect to the outside world. I would deffinetly stay there again.

Great place to unplug.
We were a bit bummed nothing stayed in the barn and there were no animals to see while we were there. And it was a bit shockinf to find the bathroom door doesnt cover the doorway😅 But the property is lovely! The location is great! Everything was clean, working and obviously cared for! And the bed was so comfortable. Great place to unplug! Wed be happy to stay again when theres more time to enjoy it all!

Beautiful country setting
The kids loved the animals. We just recently acquired a stray kitten and so the kids loved having our visitor Loki. They were also excited to see what other animals could be viewed from the apartment. Only down fall (with no fault to the owners) was the lack of service in parts. Did not discover until we were leaving that we could get some service on the porch but none inside the building. My 6 year old said he was sad to be going home. ☺️

Ahhh
Very relaxing place. Has all the essentials. Watching the animals (even in the rain) was entertaining. Quiet, close to many destinations you want to explore.
