My adult son and I were deer hunting in the Palomar area and our usual place was booked up. This place was perfect for our needs and was pretty close. Amber was a great host and introduced us to some of the many animals she has adopted. I really liked Ricky the donkey. My son wants to bring my grandkids up for a stay so they can enjoy Amber's petting zoo. I really enjoyed this place.

This was a wonderful experience for myself and my daughters as you really get to connect with mother nature is out in the mountains. There is very little lights from home and you could see the star so spectacularly bright all the animals that are on the property we got introduced to by the Host). Her name is Amy. We had a wonderful time doing that and then she also introduced us to an area. We could do some knife, throwing as well as the horseshoe pit, and we love the wood-burning fireplace.

Clean,I may have not read instructions well but would bring own plates/utensils. They're difficult to serve on. Amber provided fresh duck eggs - so generous! The kids loved gently interacting with the animals, though it was difficult to understand what interactions were ok and what weren't. Really lovely location, lovely host. Exact accommodation we were looking for!

Great little farm stay

This is a beautifully maintained mini working farm with a comfy barn and a wide range of animals to check out (some of the rescued). It's in the country and quiet but easy to get to, Amber is a great host, and the bed is comfy. I would definitely return.

A true heaven.

Amber is absolutely amazing. Greeted us the moment we arrived and was also there for any questions or concerns we had. She also gave us fresh duck eggs, and they were YUMMY!!!The property is so unique with chickens, roosters, ducks, peacocks, ostriches, goats, donkey, mini horses, regular horses all enclosed and there for viewing (bring some carrots, apples, lettuce) they love it!! Plenty of space to go for a walk along country roads. The best part is that the place is so far from civilization, there's no sound of traffic, planes and the general city sounds, just peace and quiet, with many shiny stars during the night. Fireworks are 100% forbidden so we really enjoyed spending the quiet July 4th long weekend far away from LA.

Wonderful stay

What a wonderful property and even more wonderful host! Amber was incredible. She took the time to show us around and let us meet all of the animals. My sister loved petting Tom the Turkey. He was suprisingly very mellow. But the one who stole the show and I had to stop by to say hello was the sweetest little donkey. Amber also guided us to a beautiful hike called Blue Lady Mine nearby. If you love crystals and caves, you will love this hike!If we are in the area again, we are definitely staying at The Barn!
