I felt so at home and there is always particular attention paid to comfort with little details throughout, i.e. : fresh farm eggs, fruit basket, bagels, muffins, etc. as well as a complimentary bottle of wine. Delightful grounds with animals that will entertain you. (All of the chickens have special names!). A very peaceful five days.... ##### Rita F.

This trip was a gift for my daughter's 18th birthday and we were greeted with a cheery "happy birthday" banner hanging in our room. Dana treated my two teens like they were family. My normally shy or surly teens were happy and totally enjoyed interacting with the animals and learning all about how to play with and care for them. This is the perfect place to get fresh air, fun, and get the kids off their electronics. We stayed in the Storybook barn which was super clean, comfortable and totally well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. They also had farm fresh eggs and loads of snacks upon your arrival. Dana definitely knows a thing or two about hospitality! We loved our stay with them and hope to make it back again someday. ##### Shelley T.

To say that we were fortunate to stay at Story Book is an understatement. It satisfied every item on our list and it was truly difficult to leave on our last day. The hosts are professional and it was evident from the minute that we arrived that they put a lot of time, passion, and effort into the property. Clean, well-stocked, and quiet would best describe the accommodations. We look forward to our return. ##### Matt S. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter P.

My husband and our dog have stayed here four times now. There will be more. The environment is quiet and peaceful. The Barn is cozy and reminds me of a quant English cottage tucked away in a quiet countryside. Dana and Richard do everything possible to make your day relaxing. They welcome you with a bottle of wine and a note thanking us for joining them. The cottage is very clean and beautifully decorated. They supply all the pots and pan, cooking utensils, fresh eggs, orange juice and sausage for the breakfast plus much more. Then you can take your coffee/tea outside and listen to the chickens, goats and of course pet their two dogs. Life is good on the farm!!! ##### Jane P C.

The cottage was delightful, everything clean and lovely, the farm enchanting, and the location cannot be beat. But that's not the best part. Dana and Richard are the best! In spite of having work to do (caring for the property and animals (and their own lives) - they were SO available and warm and friendly. We've rented lots of places, but have never EVER seen the extras they supplied in the kitchen. Eggs, sausage, fruit, condiments, drinks, snacks, etc. But, still, what amazes me is the incredible hospitality. GREAT ##### Barbara F. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda S.

It was everything we were hoping for and more! Dana and Richard were wonderful hosts and had thought of everything we could have possibly wanted. The cottage took cozy to new heights and we were welcomed into the surrounding grounds by dogs and horses and a fascinating chicken community! And our hosts were full of interesting tidbits of information about all of their critters and the surrounding places of interest.

The unit was very well stocked with breakfast, snacks, goodies, essentials. The bed was very soft which we usually don't like but it was still comfortable! My 3 years old had a blast roaming the property, seeing the roosters and the chickens, playing in the dirt, and meeting the dogs and horses! Fantastic location and the host Dana was fantastic with recommendations and helping our little one feed the horses. I highly recommend and have already forwarded this to many of my friends.

Jun 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An escape to the country Even though Full Moon Farm is only a mile from town, the countryside starts right at the town line. The farm is in a pristine valley with pastures extending as far as the eye can see.. the silence is interrupted only by birds. I heard wild turkeys gobbling under the oaks, horses.snorting. on the next farm over. If you just want tranquility and no agenda, the two vacation rental cottages on the property provide a great place for down time and come with amenities worthy of a nice hotel.. private small patios, wide screen TV, wireless. Don't worry if you didn't get to the store before arriving, fresh eggs from the farm's chickens await you in the fridge with organic olive oil next to the stove,, along with bagels & muffins. There were tea & coffee beans & grinder, snacks on the kitchen counter, wine , craft beer and soft drinks , help yourself.. The markets in town can supplement, as there are plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans. A great place for couples, or families, or anyone needing a relaxing pace. Bathroom stocked with soap, shampoo, lotion, hair dryer.. A cushy king sized bed and fold out couch are in both cottages. Your hosts are gracious and personable and will come over if you need anything. No formal checkin; the key was under the doormat. Petting the resident friendly dogs or the horse, or talking to the chicken every morning was great fun. For those who prefer some activities instead of napping and eating, William Heise county park is a scenic 4 mile drive and has great mountain trails Inaja Memorial Park is 6 miles in the other direction , great for a picnic with stunning views into a 600 feet deep mountain gorge which is the site of the headwaters of the San Diego River. Plenty of interesting shopping in eclectic stores and great places to eat in town. I'm going back ! ##### Anne K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann L., Alachua FL USA Jun 6, 2019 #### Weekend Get Away For My Grand-daughter & Her Hubby My grand-daughter said: 5 stars. She was very helpful about recommending things to do. Very quick to respond to anything we needed. They made you feel at home while staying there. It was so peaceful and loved they wanted their guests to have the best experience possible. Had everything you needed in the room and all complimentary. Really great experience! ##### Ann L.
