We have chickens and two small goats that reside on the property. During the day, they free range in a fully fenced coral. At night, the chickens return to their coop and the goats have their own shelter. The chickens will lay 3-5 fresh eggs in the nesting box between the coop and shed. You are welcomed to collect eggs from the nesting box outside the coop. The animals are very social and enjoy interacting but please do not let them out of the coral. Food and water is automated but someone will be coming by to check on animals every 2-3 days.

Summary: Beautiful…the landscape, hummingbirds, something for everyone to do, the secret room where we told ghosts stories in, s’mores over the fire pit. It’s just so relaxing and homey. The goats and fresh eggs were so much fun. The books and magazine! A great place to stay whether you are 2 or 70. It was priceless for our family. Thank you so much!
