Weekend Trip to Rockin' K🔥 RV Park & Horse 🐴 Motel

Loved how inviting the host was. She came early to feed the animals just to accommodate our schedule and allowed our girls the opportunity to meet animals and feed them. They even got to give them a sweet treat before we pulled out and enjoyed every second of it.

2 nights at Country Woods Inn

The Santa Fe car is at the edge of a meadow and some woods, with a cluster of other accommodations ranging from campsites, airstreams and a cabin where a hostess cat lives who greets all the guests. She came knocking on our door and stayed with us, to our delight, throughout our stay. And there is no extra charge for vacation kitty! The train car is cleverly outfitted with all the comforts and everything you need for them: cooking pots and utensils, dinnerware, wine glasses and corkscrew. The hot water is steaming. The small refrigerator was plenty big enough for us and has a freezer shelf with two mini cube ice trays, but for larger groups consider bringing in some ice with you. The bunk beds are as steady as trees and so roomy under the canopy that only the very tall might have to bend to clear it. For us, it was like a small room. The mattresses are both soft and supportive. A town vendor said the car had been outfitted and adorned for the owner’s grandchildren, and we certainly benefitted from the thoughtfulness, playfulness and considerations that have been lovingly put into it. A small jar is offered for collecting fireflies darting outside. We gladly unplugged with no WiFi or tv signal there, when there were so many books, games and dvds for entertainment. Instead though we opted for star watching, deer spotting, and loving on the petting animals at the main hub. We plan to return often for the rest and rejuvenation we found easily in the woods by the river

Absolutely do it. Don't think twice. Private and secluded in a beautiful wildflower meadow. Top notch Saturday morning breakfast. Friendly animals everywhere. Our cabin came with a Fatcat who took an afternoon nap with us. So so beautiful.
