Willow Pond Residents (animals)

Rascal, our Border collie mutt, has been here since the beginning, before there was even a house! Rascal is not the smartest dog in the world, but he sure is the friendliest–and always available to go for a walk.

The ducks will keep you company down by the pond whether you’re laying on the hammock, fishing from the paddle boat or having a picnic. You might see them visiting the chickens too.

The chicken park is where all the pretty ladies who lay the brown and green eggs our guests eat for breakfast spend their day scratching and pecking and enjoying the fresh country air. At night they head inside for the safety of their coop, next to the barnyard where our three horses gather to be fed.

Sundance, (Sunny) is the leader of the pack and the other two horses know it.  He is our wrangler Jill’s favorite and the one she always rides when she takes guests out for a trail ride. Guest usually ride the handsome Duke (Jerome’s big boy) and sweet Vida, Claire’s gentle mare. The two geldings and Vida are all quarter horses, but Duke is also part Tennesse Walker.

Rounding out our menagerie are the two cats, Midnight and Little Miss Muffet. They are the only animals to come in the house, but they spend more time outside than in, doing their part by keeping down the rodent population. They love to greet and charm our guests, but are never allowed in guest rooms or in the downstairs guest area to accommodate for any guests with allergies.
