Only real issue we had was that the shower in the back bathroom was out of order. Other than that, we loved it there. The hosts was welcoming, the animals on site were cool to watch. Even visited by one of their cats.We'd rent this one again.

This home was immaculate. I requested to arrive a few hours early due to attending my nieces wedding and driving all morning. They were soooo accommodating. The home was extremely clean an exactly like the photos. The farm was also very cute. Great for young children to see the animals. Thank you so much for making our trip relaxing and enjoyable.

Awesome experience!

My entire family had an excellent time at the farm. The hosts were both super kind and gave an awesome tour of the animals on the property. The place was stayed was clean, quiet, and reasonably priced. It is also in a great location if you are looking to fish or hit the beaches. I highly recommend the Rise N Shine Farm!!

Wonderful hosts, took time out of their day for our children to meet their animals, Justin stayed late when we didn’t arrive at our expected time and met us late to ensure we made it In ok. Had everything we needed and more, will highly recommend this place and will be returning again! These are great people with a great little hideout! Go see them!
