This property is an actual farm. If you’ve been on a farm you know what to expect. Coming from Chicago, though formerly from a small town, I knew to bring my boots and clothes I could get dirty in. You need to know and accept that, before booking.
I came to town for a trip to the Mayo Clinic, where I didn’t have the best time for various non-medical related issues. Part of the reason I chose to stay on a farm is the animals, as they tend to relieve my anxiety.
Rosie’s two dogs were always happy to be pet, she has the friendliest cats(2) that I have ever met, not to mention her horses, and the cows. I found myself actually spending time outside, and when you have fibromyalgia, that’s an awesome feeling. Sure I’d get tired but I pushed through that because it was surreal to walk the property. I even caught my first toad!
Rosie made sure everything was ready when I arrived. The room was a nice size but still felt cozy. She has a great sense of humor and I enjoyed our talks.
The bathroom was shared with a fantastic couple across the hall. Absolutely no issues.
For me, it changed my perspective on living in a major city. Waking up to see Lucky, one of the horses, was a great joy especially as we walked around together.
This is the experience I wanted and it was much more than I expected.
