McKinleyville, California
When visiting our farm, you may get the opportunity to: frolic with goats, watch baby animals being born, feed the pigs, learn about natural fiber, walk through the flower fields, go for a mushroom hike, snuggle doggies, eat fresh garden veggies, sit by a campfire, and so much more!
Stay in comfort and quiet in our newly constructed "country chic" barn loft which includes a full kitchen, spacious bedroom, full bath, all basked in warm natural light from the south-facing windows. Explore and learn on our farm or easily travel to many of Humboldt's spectacular attractions.
The barn loft is up a short staircase and very well insulated from farming operations. Reclaimed old-growth wooden details frame the country charm, combined with modern amenities. Heated by a thermostat regulated pellet stove and cooled by a big ceiling fan. Cook your breakfast on the fully restored 1930's Spark gas stove using fresh organic produce and eggs available seasonally for purchase from our farm. The master bedroom sits just off the living room and is equipped with a queen-sized bed and 2 pull out single beds. The couch in the living room also opens into a queen bed. High-speed Wifi is available and T.V. entertainment is located in the office nook. Situated on the north side of the barn, there is a spacious outdoor setting where you can lounge in the sun, climb tree stumps, greet our animals, enjoy a campfire, and take in the scenery. Take a self-guided stroll around the property or make an appointment for a detail tour and introduction to our working farm.
Loved it! My kids loved the animals. The location was gorgeous and peaceful. The lift was clean and comfy and our hosts were friendly.
We loved being so close to so many farm animals but also have a retreat that is clean and bright! Such an inspiring place to stay, visit and enjoy. Thank you!!
We loved our stay at the Brunner Family Farm! Even though our stay was limited and mostly spent exploring the Redwoods and Fern Canyon, my girls still say their favorite part was “sleeping at the farm” and playing with their kitties! Wish we had a few more days just to stay on the farm and explore, so we will have to come back!
We had a wonderfull time at the farm. My grandkids loved to spend time with the animals and Sarah was kind enough to teach them how to milk the goats. Thank you Sarah. We had a great time and thank you for your hospitality
This is a lovely place to stay if you want to spend some time on a small farm. The loft itself is really nice, and the host is very helpful and sweet. We loved getting to meet the animals and to just get away for a few days.
We had a wonderful time - milking goats, learning about the animals, and exploring the surrounding areas. Sarah could not be a better host! Thank you so much - kids said best vacation stay ever!
If our daughter was writing this review, it would consist of one word: GOAT. Greatest Of All Time. Yes, absolutely. (But also the animal…) What an amazing stay! Sarah and Matt have created a beautiful and welcoming space in their barn loft and on their family farm. The farm itself and the surrounding areas are quite scenic. The loft is very cozy and well stocked with everything you need. Kids will LOVE being near the farm animals, and if they can help with evening chores, it’s a magical experience. We definitely plan to return for another fabulous stay (and to satisfy our growing goat obsession!).
The space was beautiful. Close to the Redwoods and many small beaches.
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy apartment over the barn. Our kids loved seeing the animals (especially the cats). The apartment was spotlessly clean and kitchen was well supplied with plates, tea kettle etc. Just be aware- no dishwasher or microwave. Location worked well for trips to hike in the state/national parks.
The loft was modern, clean and cozy. The owners run a family farm and while we did not come for that, we were pleasantly surprised by the small-farm feel of the property and being a part of it. Everyone should experience the way a smaller farm property can be operated at a family level to be self sufficient and sustainable. The owners were attentive and willing to share their knowledge of the property and surroundings. I would love to come back with kids or grandkids solely to give them this experience. The Fieldbrook area is truly a hidden gem. Quaint with a local feel, free from large-scale tourism and pass-thru traffic. Thank you Sarah and Matt!
From the moment we pulled into the driveway our stay was pure magic. Sarah and Matt’s farm is quaint and whimsical and the loft is an extension of that whimsy. The loft is very comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The only noise you hear are the enchanting goat bells and ducks - which we loved! Between the venue and our host’s gracious hospitality, we didn’t want to leave; are stay was not long enough! We are already planning our next trip. PS…we’re very sorry for forgetting to close the gate when we left!
We cannot put into words how wonderful our stay was. The farm itself is a wonderful setting to relax and explore after a long day of hiking. Our kids loved walking around every night and visiting the animals! It was so peaceful. The barn loft is done to perfection. You could tell so much love and thought was put into every detail. Matt and Sarah were so welcoming and really made us feel at home. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed while on vacation and we can’t wait to come back. We could never thank Sarah and Matt enough for opening their farm to us and allowing us to make ever lasting family memories!
Great place to stay near the Redwood Parks. Parents enjoyed the tranquil environment. Kids loved seeing the farm and spending time with the animals.
Staying in the upstairs apartment in the Brunner Family Barn was a dream. The space was absolutely beautiful, and the experience of being on a farm was exceptional! We would absolutely recommend staying here if you're spending any time in the area.
The property was just as advertised. Hosts were great. The loft was quiet and had everything we needed. The property is beautiful, and it was fun to be above a barn on a working farm.
It's hard to put into words, but this will be one of those places we will always remember. The owners are so kind and welcoming. The animals are spectacular. The loft is adorable and we really enjoyed our stay.
Loved our time on the farm! Our daughter was happy to hang out with the goats and experience being close to all the animals. The loft was beautifully maintained with full kitchen. Just as great as it looked on the website.
The loft above the barn was great. There was zero barn smells in the loft. The air was fresh and clean. Other than a few barking dogs (I have those in my neighborhood at home) the night was silent...no sheep or goat noise! The communication through VRBO to the host was a little difficult...no fault of the host.
A very relaxing stay. Our daughter likely spent more time with the farm animals than with her parents. Sarah is a most kind and generous host. We can't wait to return.
