The space
The Cottage is a very private space . It has two bedrooms, one bath with a tub, a living room with a sleeper sofa, and a full kitchen with electric stove, coffee maker, microwave, cookware and utensils. We live nearby on the property but you have plenty of space to yourself.
We consider Farhaven to be a Cottage, not a Cabin. Cottages are more sophisticated. They have painted or papered walls. Cottages have modern facilities like water and electricity and appliances and central air conditioning.
Cabins have a more unfurnished and crude look as compared to cottages. Moreover, Cabins often do not have modern facilities.

Guest access
You are welcome to roam our ranch and enjoy quiet open spaces and dark skies at night. We live on the property and are here if you need us.

a few rules: no motorized off road vehicles, fireworks, or hunting allowed. We are happy to introduce the horses, but please admire them from a distance unless we are there to supervise. ...it'sfor your safety and theirs.

Other things to note
2 night minimum under most circumstances. 3 night minimum on major holidays.
Cell Service: ATT towers. Other providers - expect no service

I spend too much time: my horses
I'm obsessed with: horses
Retired homebuilder ... wanna be bluegrass musician. Love country living and gardening and playing music in our church. Our ranch has three large working organic gardens and a greenhouse. I'm expanding the operation to be able to market seasonal fresh organic produce and farm fresh eggs to local customers. I'm happy to share some of our organic produce with you! And give you a tour of the farm.
