About the host
Hosted by Dean Audet
I have lived on a ranch the majority of my life being surrounded by domestic and wild animals. I love being outside. Our property has opportunity for privacy and seclusion. I love sitting outside, still, silent..... listening and watching the many birds and animals. My wife and I built the guest cabin so that we could share this beautiful land.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I choose this property because of its potential. We are passionate about our horses and we are turning this into a horse property. It is a very quiet and peaceful rural area. We are on a dead end country road (paved to our driveway) so it is pretty quiet.
What makes this property unique
One of the things that makes our property so enjoyable is the rolling hills. The cabin is in a low area with lots of trees and gives it a wilderness feel. We have many places o the property where there is no sign civilization and it makes yo feel like you are in the middle of no where. Oe of the highlights, and guest favorite, is the pond & fountain with ducks, geese, heron, frogs, fish. We offer; forest meditation, horse therapy, dog therapy with fully trained service dog, miniature goat therapy, chicken therapy..., Or just plain ol' fun with the animals. By appointment only. Contact u directly to arrange can appointment.
