This property is very clean and stocked with whatever you need to make yourself at home. The property owner is very responsive. Your furry family members will enjoy staying here as well because the back yard/field is huge. I'm very picky and this place was pretty on point.
We had a wonderful time at golden acres barn ! Spacious .. clean and very welcoming . Nice little welcome basket . Host was very accommodating and available when we had an issue . We especially loved the hot tub .
Drove 4 hours to get to my accommodations for the weekend only to greeted by 2 dogs already in the property. I booked this back in May and the owner double booked for the same weekend and I had no accommodations. Very disappointed and the owner blamed VRBO for opening the calendar up to allow for another booking. She was not empathetic at all.
