We had such a relaxing and nature filled time here. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to interact with the animals. We were given a brush and we could brush any animal that wanted the extra attention throughout our stay!! We LOVED this and the animals loved it too and looked great afterwards!

This was the cutest place we have had experienced. Their farm animals were friendly and adorable. The owner was the nicest person. We booked the place in the late afternoon and got there kinda late night. She welcomed us with the warmest welcomed. We really enjoyed the place and highly recommend!!!

This was a wonderful experience. My wife enjoyed the quietness of nature. She sat out by the lake and read her book until sundown while watching the ducks live their best life. The cow experience was awesome too! Tinsel is massive; all the animals are beautiful.
