This was a great trip for the family. The farm house was a little bigger than we needed for 4 people, but it is on the edge of the property so we were in our own world. The owners let the animals into the pen close to the house, so we woke up to a horse and donkey right outside our window for breakfast. We did bring our dog on the trip, and there were no issues. Thank you for a great, short spring break trip.
