Amazing hosts and adorable animals. I almost got my fill of goat petting. We felt like we were visiting old friends. This stop will be one of my favorite trip memories.

We were so thankful for these hosts and their hospitality. We needed to get out of the Yosemite area a day early because of a snow storm scheduled to hit the day of our departure. With less than 24 hours notice these hosts accepted our request. When we got there we were warmly welcomed and they helped us back into a good spot. The hosts showed our 4 year old their zip line (which he couldn’t get enough of) and even brought us some corn bread. They have a really great little farm, and it was very interesting seeing the system they have in place. Prior to leaving in the morning, the hosts took our son out to pet the goats and even gave him a book for the road. Such great people, it was really great meeting them and spending some time with them.

P & J are wonderful hosts who are eager to help in any way needed. Pam even gave us a bag of lemons from their tree. Sweet goats, dog, & other animals on their little slice of heaven. We will definitely try to stay again, if we're in the neighborhood.
