I have been taking lessons at Painted Ridge Farm for a year now, and I love it! The setting is…read moregorgeous and it does me good just to get out there every week. The facilities are top notch and Mary is always working to improve them. Mary Bauer, the owner, is a true equestrian expert and can help you with whatever you need from finding the right horse, training you and your horse, lessons, boarding, you name it. And she is a vet tech so she can help with medical issues as well. Mary is genuine and fun, as are the rest of the folks out there. I highly recommend it!

My 10 year old was on a horse named Pokey that was missing his left eye but cute as a button and super gentle and cautious with my son. My 6 year old got to ride on Foxy and was led on his horse since he is so young. I rode on Marley, and my sister had Diamond. We went through forest type setting where there were so many beautiful butterflies. Also there are parts that take you over other types of terrain. Certainly not boring at all. And Chris was so willing to answer any questions that we had. And super reassuring to my kids about how they were handling the horses and whatnot. My kids are saying they wish we could go there everyday if that tells you anything. We hope to try and make this a yearly "thing" because it really was about the best part of our little get away.

Peaceful Acres is a fantastic horse rescue. The people that own it care so much for these horses…read more All of the volunteers have hearts of gold as well. The horses in their care came from some bad situations, but now are surrounded by love and friends. They work so hard to get the horses healthy and hopefully into new loving homes. It's just amazing! I had a unique experience with this group through Girl Scouts. I heard about a hands on class they offer for Scouts to come out and learn about horses in a very hands on manner. I booked my Troop of 4th graders for a 3 hour class. During the class, my girls got to meet all of the horses, learn about their backstories, learn how to take care of horses, and even learned to ride unassisted at the end. Ms. Sherry worked with me to get my Troop booked for the event. She was so helpful and easy to work with. She ran our visit too. She had these 9 year olds out there cleaning and brushing the horses, getting dirty and messy, trying new things, and making them all feel valued. Ms. Sherry is an spitfire angel! I believe they also offer affordable horse back riding lessons for all ages to help fund their rescue mission. I highly recommend checking into Peaceful Acres for education events or to volunteer. They are doing good things that make your heart feel good helping.

The first time we realized things might not be as they seemed was when one granddaughter moved so we picked up her horse. The horse had pinworms and had literally lost all of the hair on his tail. Liz informed us she had brain surgery and was recovering from Covid. So of course we understood that she got a little behind. Then our other granddaughter moved but wasn't able to take her horse for approximately 4 months. We paid Liz for everything she said the horse needed. We had Zeus picked up by a friend and we were shocked upon seeing him and his condition. He obviously hasn't been being fed. He looks like he came from a kill pen. He was a gorgeous healthy horse when he was brought to Liz's facility. Shame on her for taking our money and promising us he was being well cared for then letting our dear sweet Zeus starve. Don't trust this woman.

So this is really more of a 2.5 stars. Not a bad place, all spots have 30A and 50A hookups as well…read moreas water and sewer. It is right off a highway so if road noise bothers you I'd look somewhere else. The interior roads are all gravel and the entry is a bit confusing at night. Be extra careful to not drag your wheels off the side either (Especially on the west...) because you'd be stuck for good. Most the people here seem like they are full timers so the number of transient spots is pretty limited but everyone was quiet and pretty much kept to themselves. It is an added bonus though if you are travelling with horses because they have accommodations for that for some extra cost. Several pull through spots as well as some that you have to back in to. Make sure and scout your area before unhooking. I saw the power/water utilities and assumed that was the hookup side. Turned out that the sewer was on the other side (Along with a dual water/electric hookup for the two spots there) and didn't realize it until I was unhooked, jacked and leveled. We just waited until we left to turn around and dump, but it would have been a hassle if we were there for much longer. We called the owner Thursday night to ask where to park and he got us set up just fine. Didn't meet him until Saturday but was a polite guy running a reasonably clean place that serves a niche market. He has another guy on site more or less full time for emergencies but prefers to handle most regular business himself. We'd probably stay here again since the road noise didn't bother us especially at $20/night, but if there was a place further back off the highway where we could let the kids play a little more we'd probably prefer that.
