Sweet find in the backcountry
Very quiet at night. Expected bird noises from the roosters, turkeys, ducks, chickens and pheasants. All the birds were very respectful. All the other animals were very polite as well. Bed was comfortable and the place has character. Fresh duck eggs were provided and they were delicious. Enjoyed our stay and ten minutes to/from Hawkwatch winery….the best wine on the North Mountain Wine Trail. Thanks Amber and Steve.

Great stay, kids loved the animals
Really enjoyed the farm, kids loved all the animals and the area was beautiful. The barn was fun, the stove kept everything nice and warm. Kids didn’t end up needing the air mattress, they liked sleeping on the futon. Outlet in kitchen wasn’t working, but there were others available. View was amazing from the porch.

Great little getaway spot!
My grandparents live nearby, so this was a great location with us. They were very candid about the rules and amenities upfront so there were no surprises. It's a super cute place and a great size for a couples getaway, especially if you love animals. It was fun waking up to all the animals on the ranch and a morning walk with the pups. They're very dog friendly with a bed and bowls waiting for your fur babies. Our pups really enjoyed the space and all the smells outside with new friends to meet. We also loved the fresh duck eggs! The beds were comfortable and the AC cooled down the space pretty quickly from the summer heat. We met the owner while we were there and she was very friendly. We definitely recommend the spot if you're looking for a place in the area. Make sure to find some time to check out the local wineries while you're there too!

The barn is well equipped with a kitchenette (microwave, hotplate, cutting tools, sink, etc). I didn't find the heaters on the first night so I was freezing, but I found it the second night and was warm. Amber greeted me upon arrival and told me a bit about the pets, and they left fresh duck eggs. Delicious. It was still a bit far of a drive to get to Anza Borrego Desert Park. An hour or so. This location might be best suited for a family or a couple. Just feels eerie for a single woman. At one point, I went to leave and the gate code wouldn't work. It was early in the morning and I drove back up to the barn to get internet since I didn't have phone service. I couldn't find a number to reach them so I tried knocking at the front house but it was still early (before 7am). I ended up driving to the gate and stepping over a dip in the barbed wire to punch the code from the outside in order to leave. All worked out and the gate was fixed by the time I left the following day.

Amber was a lovely, generous host and we enjoyed our stay very much. Meeting her menagerie of animals and having fresh duck eggs for breakfast was delightful and made the stay memorable. The walk-up to the second floor apartment would be challenging for a disabled person.

Really special place!
My friend, and I were looking for a space near Borrego to see the bloom. This farm was so much fun adding to our adventure. Amber gave us a tour of the farm and all the animals, and when asked about hiking spots she even drove ahead of us to show us to a local spot where we could hike to a cave. The actual rental space was bigger than I thought and very comfortable. We also got duck eggs from Amber to enjoy at breakfast. Lots of fun. I highly recommend it.

Rustic gem far from the city
We had a great time. My only caution was there are a lot of steps (if that is a problem for you). Amber introduced us to the animals which we throughly enjoyed. We came for the dark sky and weren't disappointed. Saw the milky way for the first time in years. The unit was well stocked and very unique. We are planning to come again!

A breath of fresh air!
What a delightful and charming experience!! Exactly as advertised, if not better. The barn department was clean and comfortable, the property was beautifully rustic and rural, the animals (rescues, I learned!) were darling and friendly and the host was happy to tell me all about them when I came down to join her during morning feeding. Even though she said that the birds weren't laying eggs much right now since it's winter, she's still shared the few they gathered that morning with me, which I enjoyed sitting on the porch of the barn overlooking the morning snow. Just a wonderful experience across the board. If I could give more than five stars I would. I will definitely be back the next time I can afford to escape the city like that again. ♥️♥️♥️
