My wife starts with the winter gear, stocking hats, scarfs, blankets, shawls each a perfect birthday or Christmas gift. After i picked out my socks, i headed over to the "newest trend" Alpaca bracelets ( new to me ). I couldn't believe all the sizes. If i was talented , I'd buy different colors of their "yarn/fibers ? " and make my own. Ya just can't go wrong with AMERICAN made.

You can not only meet only their several horses and dogs, but they have cows and farm animals to pet, too. While we waited for others, we were able to walk around the property to explore the pond and hang out in their guest house. There was also some sports equipment available to play with. Overall, this was much more of a fun day on the farm than just an experience with horseback riding! It's a real drive down the dirt road, but it was worth it!

The food from Cutting Edge Eatery tasted great, but the service and experience were really…read moredisappointing. We ordered an even split of fettuccine and baked spaghetti but got double the spaghetti instead. We paid for 78 portions (with 11 kids), had over 15 guests not show up, and still barely had enough food -- even the bride and groom hardly got any. The food was delivered in the trunk of a Corvette, which didn't seem like enough space for everything, and when I reached out afterward about being shorted, I was ignored. The staff were outside smoking instead of setting up and took forever to get ready. They also never asked about silverware color and just used gold. Food was delicious, but the lack of professionalism really ruined the experience.

When we arrived at check-in, it was super easy to get checked in and everyone was very kind. They have a store with some small items if you forgot anything. The owners live on site and they let me and my kids go visit their puppies and play in the puppies area/run house. They are very kind and spoke to us often throughout. They even offered to go to the store to pick AA batteries for us and a couple other things instead of us going to the store and purchasing it from them directly that was very kind and going above. The only reason for the four star is, I did call them to get additional towels for the cottage house we rented. Whoever answered the phone had hesitation in their voice, and seemed annoyed that I was asking for extra towels. They asked how many people were in our party because they saw a lot of people.kitchen told them yes we rented the cottage house +3 primitive cabins we had a large party, but we were not over using any space. He thought hesitation in his voice and I explained to him we only had two towels and he was more than welcome to come check if he doubted us he said oh that's strangely usually put four or five in the house I said well, they didn't then they offered to bring more as much as we all spent for the entire weekend. It was a little frustrating how we were treated in that specific scenario. They had paddle boats you could rent and we rented two. It was a decently priced 35 for four hours. They also have horseback riding and a couple other things that you can pay additional for. The cottage was fully stocked. The primitive cabins you do have to bring your own linens, which is clearly stated

However, my check-in experience was incredibly frustrating and ruined the trip for me. Upon pulling up to the Country Store (exactly as the check-in instructions stated), one of the property's loose farm dogs (a Great Pyrenees) began barking and jumping repeatedly on my vehicle, leaving behind scratches down to the primer. I stayed in my vehicle with my dog (who remained calm and quiet) secured in the backseat, as I didn't know if the loose dog was friendly. When the owner, Jonathan, came out, he put the dog up but loudly began blaming me for the damage, stating I should have gotten out to stop his dog or moved my vehicle elsewhere. He made multiple excuses and was very dismissive of the fact that my property was damaged by his unleashed animal. Jonathan ended up walking away and a different man asked me to go inside to check in. Flabbergasted, I proceeded with the check in process even though I didn't get an apology or any concern for what happened or how I'd been treated. The entire ordeal, including the hostility, really just ruined the stay for me and I ended up leaving early the next day. I did get an initial text from Johnathan apologizing and he offered to give me a free next stay and pay for buffing the scratches. I declined another stay, and notified him that I buffed out most of the scratches, but that some had gone through to the primer. I told him I would take care of it and I was not going to send a bill. Dragging this on further, he sent another message attempting to blame me again. This time claiming that my window being cracked a few inches is what caused his livestock dog to bark and scratch my doors. The constant blaming and complete lack of accountability for a guest's damaged property was unacceptable. It is a beautiful property, but proceed with caution, and be prepared for loose dogs and a defensive, unprofessional, owner.
