    Description

    We’re the family living in and surrounded by mountains, forests, and fresh country air. Our little farm is home to happy free-range chickens, a big vegetable garden, and two adventurous, fun-loving girls, Stella and Ava—who are always curious and love meeting new people. We enjoy sharing our way of life and here it is a mix of peaceful nature and joyful chaos, and we love hosting travelers who want to experience real rural living, connect with our family, and maybe leave with a few muddy boots and great stories to tell.
