The Barn, mini petting zoo mid term 1-6 month stays

Immediately after pulling into the barn’s parking area we were greeted by Amber who promptly gave us a tour of the animal enclosures I was surprised to see just how many animals she had. Overall great stay!

Welcoming host. Great property. Kitchen is tight for a family but works well. Comfy bed. Brought our own mattress for the kids. Warm at night. Clean. Love the animals and the axe throwing- we brought our own.

Charming, rustic, cozy place to see the stars and some animals. Make sure you screenshot the gate code before turning off the main highway, because cell service isn’t great and you might not be able to access this app. (WiFi is great once you arrive.) We would stay here again.

The barn is well equipped with a kitchenette (microwave, hotplate, cutting tools, sink, etc). I didn't find the heaters on the first night so I was freezing, but I found it the second night and was warm. Amber greeted me upon arrival and told me a bit about the pets, and they left fresh duck eggs. Delicious. It was still a bit far of a drive to get to Anza Borrego Desert Park. An hour or so. This location might be best suited for a family or a couple. Just feels eerie for a single woman. At one point, I went to leave and the gate code wouldn't work. It was early in the morning and I drove back up to the barn to get internet since I didn't have phone service. I couldn't find a number to reach them so I tried knocking at the front house but it was still early (before 7am). I ended up driving to the gate and stepping over a dip in the barbed wire to punch the code from the outside in order to leave. All worked out and the gate was fixed by the time I left the following day.
