    Yes

We have a dog that is friendly with people, not so much other dogs. Cows and chickens can be visited in our presence. Please provide hookup fees before departure. I dont want to have to ask, (yes, I have had to). We have guests often and could not afford the electric bill without your help. We are able to park larger rigs, like motorhome if you detach your towable. Suggested Local Attractions:Here in Council Bluffs we have 3 Casino's, an Old Market area here and in Omaha, 10 miles away. Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. Shopping, gas (w diesel), restaurants and bars and theater closeby. Great scenic Motorcycling rides and Iowa is a no helmet state. We both have fulltime jobs, Monday-Friday we arent usually home from work til 5:00pm cst. Arrangements for earlier arrival will need to be discussed before the day of arrival.

    Beautiful place to stay at for a night. It was quiet and you get to see and feed animals. The owners were friendly and very helpful when we arrived. I would definitely recommend them.
