We loved the cottage and the farm.Shannon was wonderful to work with. We needed a place to stay for the night with our dogs and she got us right in that night. The cottage was close to I95 and and theperfect halfway stop to Florida. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Florida.

This was such a great place to stay! Our family was looking for a unique place to unplug from technology and spend time together. Loved all the animals to watch and enjoy! We had a great time- even my teens without their devices.

Safe location

I stayed here with my sister and two of our friends for overnight stop to break up our trip. The cottage was perfect! We loved sitting out by the fire pit with the lights on. The animals were very nice. Would definitely stay again!

A perfect country cottage

The Cottage at Dream Acres was exactly what we needed. The cottage was nice and clean and the decorations added to the charm. The location was peaceful and we loved the small farm feel. We will absolutely come back to The Cottage on our next trip to the area.

Overnight stop

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Dream Acres! We needed a place to rest our heads as we headed to Florida for a family cruise. My twin boys enjoyed see all of the animals.

Perfect pit stop

Stayed at the cottage for a one night pit stop on our travels. Plenty of room for two people and two dogs. It couldn't have been more perfect for our needs.

Beautiful farm cottage

This property was so super cute! From the decor, to all the aninals, to the property layout! It was perfect. I thouroughly enjoyed the peacefulness of the pond water fountain and the snuggles from the farm cats. The bed was comfortable and the cottage was clean as well. I would definitely come back for another stay if the opportunity comes up.

Great stay

My husband, our 5 months old baby and I stayed at this beautiful farm when visiting family near by. It was a great change from the city life. We got greeted by 3 cute kitties. We had fun feeding and watching all farm animals (chickens, roosters, donkeys, alpacas, goats and beautiful horses). Owners were very welcoming and friendly. Place was very cute, clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. There is comfortable queen size bed instead of futon. We’ll definitely come back when visiting our family in future.

Overnight stay that felt like a mini dream vacation!

We always make a well-planned overnight stop on our trip to south each year- and this one has topped them all. The owner provides clear directions to a secure gated cottage- and then you enjoy your own little farm oasis… the goats, sheep, alpacas, mini donkeys, horses, chickens, barn cats, (I’m sure I’m missing somebody…) all happy to greet the newest guests! An animal lover’s dream. Or a nature lover’s happy place. The beds were super comfortable, and the cottage had all the needed amenities. Would highly recommend, and we will be booking again!

Perfect pit stop!

We had an amazing time here! This was our half way point on a 15 hr drive and it was so cozy and fun! We enjoyed the beautiful farm and had so much fun feeding the Alpacas & goats. The family was very nice and communicative. We had our two dogs and our infant. And they allowed us to check in at 4 in the morning, as our trip time was flexible. The farm fresh eggs were delicious and I bought some of their goat soap as well. You can’t beat sitting on a porch overlooking a farm, pond, and blue birds flying about. What a special stop! Thank you!!!
