My husband and I enjoyed this cute little unit as a getaway during our visit to Emporium. The farm is very scenic and is located right along the West Creek Rail Trail - which I highly recommend for biking or jogging! The farm animals were very amusing to watch.We were here in July, and as the listing mentions, there was no AC. Thankfully it was overcast, but it was still pretty warm for us. Other should keep that in mind when visiting.Robin was very communicative and accommodating, working with her was super easy. We would stay here again!

High School Reunion trip

We enjoyed the location and all of the animals. The accommodations were the perfect size for us. The full size appliances were a nice surprise. Our favorite part was sitting on the second story deck and watching the animals. Although we did not need anything, it was reassuring to know that the owners were right there. .

Alpacas, Goats, Cats, Ducks and a Rooster- Perfect Farm Getaway!

We stayed here instead of Benezettte to see the animals! Anything you’d need is there. We didn’t have any issue with the slight smell and honestly I hate all smells and only noticed it the first time we walked in! The STARS!! Amazing! The rooster woke us up but what do you expect on a farm haha! Robyn is very kind, friendly and helpful!
