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!

Disappointed
We saw one review that mentioned something about the animal smell upstairs, but thought they might have been a "city sleeker". My wife and I both grew up on a farm so we can handle some animal smell, but the animal smell was horrible upstairs. We ended up going to a motel instead. I was able to contact Robin about the smell. I did give a few suggestions to try to minimize the smell. They did refund us most of the money, which we very much appreciated!

Alpacas!
Everything great. We arrived in the dark and fumbled with the lack of lighting. We are older and not as nimble as we once were :) A light on by the side door would have been terrific. Loved flipping on light and seeing the kiddos! Thanks!

very nice with a few exceptions
The place was nice, but I would say that it needs to be understood that it is a working farm with all the odors associated with it. It was fine for us, but others should know. Also, the place has no air conditioning so consider that when planning in the summer. Other than that, it was an excellent apartment and we enjoyed the alpacas, the farm and the rail trail that runs through the property.

This was the perfect little place for my husband and I to have a quick little getaway. We had so much fun seeing all the alpacas and other little animals. Perfect location between St. Mary’s and Emporium making it easy for us to travel back and forth between attractions.

The property was exactly what I needed for my stay in St. Mary’s. I enjoyed seeing the animals and the host were amazing. I did have an AT&T hotspot and was able to connect to the outside world. I would deffinetly stay there again.

Great place to unplug.
We were a bit bummed nothing stayed in the barn and there were no animals to see while we were there. And it was a bit shockinf to find the bathroom door doesnt cover the doorway😅 But the property is lovely! The location is great! Everything was clean, working and obviously cared for! And the bed was so comfortable. Great place to unplug! Wed be happy to stay again when theres more time to enjoy it all!

Beautiful country setting
The kids loved the animals. We just recently acquired a stray kitten and so the kids loved having our visitor Loki. They were also excited to see what other animals could be viewed from the apartment. Only down fall (with no fault to the owners) was the lack of service in parts. Did not discover until we were leaving that we could get some service on the porch but none inside the building. My 6 year old said he was sad to be going home. ☺️

Off the grid getaway
We loved being off grid, just wish we hadn’t ended up having 90 degree weather that week! Still, we were able to talk, read from actual books, and give our eyes a break from screens. The alpaca’s and goats, cats and ducks, all were delightful sights to see and hear which added to our relaxation! We’d love to come back!!

Peace, quiet, and farm friends abound! Loki the feline ambassador greeted me upon arrival and showed me to the door (really, it was impressive!) of a clean, modern, and comfortable apartment. Well appointed space with plenty of room and activities for families. Would definitely stay again!
