Nancy was very accommodating and helpful and we had the site to ourselves. The bathroom/shower facilities are a bit rustic but the view across the paddock was nice and the surroundings were very quiet. Hannah the horse and Daisy the donkey were sweethearts.
We had a wonderful time with our family at Nancy’s ranch! The sunsets were beautiful, Hannah and Daisy were so much fun for us to feed. The space had all we needed and it was quiet. Oh and the stars. Thank you Nancy for such a sweet time away. Loved it!
