What a great experience! We visited Seven Stars Ranch while…read moreon a two week vacation in Coeur d'Alene. This was my 3 year old daughter's most memorable experience. She keeps talking about the "talking" alpacas (they hum) and getting to pet mini horses and donkeys. The ranch is beautiful and so well kept. We also discovered that they have an Airbnb on site and a few trailer/RV spots with water and electricity hook ups. Although there is no drainage for septic, we were told that the nearest gas station does have a dump station for super cheap. They are also set up for events. In my opinion it would be a beautiful spot for a rustic wedding We were guided through the ranch by one of the sons of the owners, who was very kind and gave us a brief family history and how the farm started. Then we helped release the Alpacas, a lama and some sheep out to pasture. Then we were allowed to explore the farm and visit with all the animals. I highly recommend this tour for all ages, even my husband and our teenage nephew had a blast. And don't forget to visit their adorable little gift shop that has beautiful alpa wool souvenirs.

As of yesterday, we will not return until it is under new ownership. A couple years ago, we were there and had an issue with some dogs barking. We cleared it up with Tom and thought all is well and that we would continue going there, renting and contributing to the local economy. We made a reservation for two cabins this weekend to celebrate three important life events - my father's 80th, my sister's life changes and a family member's upcoming deployment. All 10 of us drove up from Spokane. When we arrived they came out and yelled at one of us for driving too fast. Then they yelled at us for picking an apple (not listed as not OK). Then, my sister - the one going through difficult life changes was paying our animal deposit. Brenda started in about how they almost didn't rent to us and thought about black listing us. My sister remarked on this negativity, causing Tom to say 'we don't need any of your psychobabble!' Keeping a much longer story short, we decided to pack it in and leave. We had to endure 5 hours in a hot car, the expense of travel, and the downer mood this left us all in, during what should have been a joyous weekend. I don't know whether they rented to us then decided to pull all these shenanigans once we got there, or whether it went bad spontaneously. Needless to say, we will not go back to a beloved location until these folks are gone. The place has been for sale for a long time. Perhaps the negative energy they emit drives potential buyers away. My message to you is buyer (renter) beware.

Horse Camping at it's finest!! Went away for the weekend…read morewith a friend to discover new riding trails and fun! This is the destination for both. We stayed in my truck camper with the view of one of the two beautiful ponds. Full water and electricity hook-ups. Privacy and very comfortable. The horses were in their own ginormous pasture, tree lined with ample supply of fresh spring water and clean, weed-free grazing. We only supplemented their food with our own hay, since it was later in the summer and the grass was low. And the adjoining trails were challenging and fun. Water, hills, obstacles... all sorts of opportunity to enjoy! We could have just stayed in one of their 5 cabins along side another of their ponds. We were able to get a peek in a few and they were lovely. A basic log cabin, but in great shape. Our wonderfully gracious hosts, Brenda and Tom, were beyond accommodating. We are returning FOR SURE!!!

Our new go to place to get my back-up hay and now feed…read more What it has going for it: - convenient location (for me) - pricing on par with similar establishments - workers are friendly & accommodating What it has going against it: - yard where you load up your hay or feed gets muddy, nothing some gravel couldn't fix - limited hours So we use this place if we are short at the end of season. We get a 12 ton delivery every year from our normal guy. Went in here when we ran short one year. Now we come in here for there ever expanding online of livestock feed. They everything from Super layer feed to dairy goat feed to pig feed to believe screening pellets. They are a little more than say a North 40, but they are local and seam to treat their customers and employees right, so to us it is worth little extra. This summer will be inquiring about their for 12 ton delivered hay.... may have a new primary source this year. Looking to feed your livestock and live in the area... they are a great resource and don't hesitate to try them out.

I bought several tons of hog feed this last season to raise 8 full size hogs. I was going through…read moreit & the pigs didn't prefer it at first to store bought until I started fermenting it which solved several problems. I did notice the quality varies each trip & went down a bit starting mid summer but fermenting the feed helped a great deal. Adding some sour milk on occasion made the pigs very happy. I am happy with the end product. I also fed a bit of the fermented pig feed to the chickens, ducks & geese. It kept them out of the pigs pasture & they did enjoy it. They do have a chicken feed so I might try that soon. They also carry an alfalfa pellet. The pellets I will say are likely the best I've found anywhere. I have some very picky Nigerian Dwarves who love their pellets. I think I get 10 40lb bags for around $90. I also tried a multi bale of alfalfa a few weeks ago which they loved also. I tried a bag of the beef protein cubes. I added just a bit to the pig feed before fermenting & they did enjoy that. Pigs often get bored so adding or changing their feed just a little bit here & there kept them interested. My last visit I picked up 40 or 50 lb bags of Barley seed to make winter fodder. I am getting ready to set that up but the seeds do look good & I think it will be a great saver in feed costs over winter as the bags are under $10 each & the sprouts should end up giving me a higher protein feed with triple the size & it will be fresh greens through winter.

We all enjoyed the short wagon ride. You go through a big field and back up the road. Then the kids got to do a little horse back ride. They prepared a campfire dinner where we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. They also provided salad, fruit, drinks, chips. Nothing fancy but well prepared and kid friendly. The hosts were very kind and friendly, they answered all of our questions and were a joy to spend time with. It was a nice change during our vacation to get away from the lake for a few hours and see more of the real northern Idaho. Definitely recommend this activity!

Made it seem like they were helping me out of a board situation just to turn around and require me…read moreto move on short notice two months later with no actual explanation as to why. I was training horses for them and they refused to pay me anything for that time. They talk about rescues and helping people but refuse to name the rescue or let you ask them questions directly. They talk poorly about their friends and then wonder why you're Leary to share any personal information. They admit poor business decisions left them $50,000 in the hole from 2021 alone, but get defensive when business advice is given (I'm a small business development consultant and a certified life coach), or when questions are asked. Regardless of interpersonal issues, my horse got severely damaged on the property. They helped bandage her, but despite being liable for her injury never called a vet and demanded I replace vet supplies (which I did, and they wanted more). They fed my hay to their horses. My supplements purchased by me to their horses. There is barb wire EVERYWHERE. I tripped over it myself. It's no wonder my horse was severely hurt here. I had to remind them to fill waters and was the only one to dump them and clean them until I asked specifically for it to be done. I wouldn't recommend anyone trust these people with your horse. They sound great until you actually get to know them and you realize nothing coming from this ranch is truthful. The rescue horse I got from them was never given vaccines or worming. They made it sound like she had been seen by a vet but I found out later she hadn't been touched by a vet or farrier since entering their property even though I asked for her to be included the next time the farrier was out and was happy to pay for it. If you do find yourself involved with anyone from Kennedy Hills Ranch, make sure to get everything in writing before you start. Your time won't be valued and you will be undercut.
