Another great stay
We had been here a few years ago, under a previous owner. But the new owner is still taking care of things. The facility was wonderful. Clean, comfortable, etc. Lots of snacks provided! And the fowl (chickens, ducks, turkey) are gorgeous. Love this place!

Farm fabulous
We spent a wonderful weekend at Full Moon Farm with Dana, Richard, and all their furry and feathered friends. This trip was a gift for my daughter's 18th birthday and we were greeted with a cheery "happy birthday" banner hanging in our room. Dana treated my two teens like they were family. My normally shy or surly teens were happy and totally enjoyed interacting with the animals and learning all about how to play with and care for them. This is the perfect place to get fresh air, fun, and get the kids off their electronics. We stayed in the Storybook barn which was super clean, comfortable and totally well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. They also had farm fresh eggs and loads of snacks upon your arrival. Dana definitely knows a thing or two about hospitality! We loved our stay with them and hope to make it back again someday.

Simply Outstanding
Both the property and the hosts were exceptional. My wife and I have stayed at numerous VRBO homes away from home and this one tops them all. The comfort, serenity, cleanliness and added amenities were all top notch. I would highly recommend this property to anyone that inquiries. We look forward to a return visit.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay with Dana and Richard! They were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed learning about the animals and daily routines of the farm. Our cottage was clean and comfortable. We felt more like friends visiting than strangers meeting for the first time. We will definitely return!

Exceeded expectations
We decided to take a short, local family trip before heading back to work and to school after the Christmas break. To say that we were fortunate to stay at Story Book is an understatement. It satisfied every item on our list and it was truly difficult to leave on our last day. The hosts are professional and it was evident from the minute that we arrived that they put a lot of time, passion, and effort into the property. Clean, well-stocked, and quiet would best describe the accommodations. We look forward to our return.
