Other Details to Note

This countryside escape also functions as a small working cattle farm, which adds to the authentic ranch atmosphere. Nature is part of the adventure here. Wild animals, snakes, spiders, bugs, and other critters all share the property. If these natural neighbors make you uneasy, this may not be the best fit. For safety, no pets are allowed. A protective donkey watches over the cattle and considers all dogs coyotes, so pets cannot be accommodated. Inside, the home includes personal touches such as family photos and some belongings tucked in closets and drawers. These details create a warm, lived-in feel that many guests find inviting.
