IF YOU READ THIS FAR... Mountain Magic obviously checks a lot of your boxes, may even fill your "Vacation Bingo Card" and you are likely already picturing your family enjoying the curated experience (and the animals). Yes, you just found your next family vacation, it's time to celebrate! Come experience why so many of our collective 1500+ Reviews consistently say "5-Stars! Stop Scrolling and Book!" Guest access This is a shared farm with multiple cabins and shared amenities. Guests have full access to 20+ acres of manicured farm, just not access into any other cabins. Walk right into the petting zoo & bird aviary (use common sense as goats will push over a child for a carrot), fish from the banks or the catch n' release pond, tube down the river, tube down the slide, find two ziplines, try your hand at axe throwing or PICKLEBALL... Step a little outside your comfort zone, it's all part of the experience! Other things to note NOTE: Caretaker utilizes one of the garages next to River Ranch as her tool shed and work shed. She and workers will be coming and going, but it shouldn't be obtrusive. Dog Policy: One dog, $75 fee, 25 pound limit. No cats. No Extra Visitors Allowed to visit the Farm other than approved guests staying in the cabin. No Holiday Day Arrivals or Departures. Available November through April only (long-term tenant from May thru October). Petting Zoo? Yes, walk right into the pen! We do recommend bringing veggies like kale/leafy greens, carrots and/or quartered apples to bribe the animals with (no corn or sweet feed allowed). Catch N Release Pond Down for 2025 Due to Hurricane Helene Damage.
