Gingerland Ranch was a good stay for our group! The house had plenty of space and all the essentials we needed. Feeding the animals was such a fun and memorable bonus that everyone loved. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything smooth. The home could use a few touch-ups, especially with cleanliness on the walls, and the entrance sign is a bit worn, so a few people passed it at night. Still, it was conveniently close to the venue we were going to and overall a comfortable, enjoyable stay.

It's a creaky, quirky old house with character. However the Internet was down and I texted the property manager and she said she would contact someone but no one came and she didn't follow up, so we spent all weekend using our phones as hotspots. Also, the listing showed a fun barn that we wanted to play in, but it was posted as off limits,.

Great! The house has a couple of quirks, but the property is great.
Our stay had both positives and drawbacks. The property is spacious, quiet, and great for kids or pets. The donkeys and goats were a big hit. The beds were clean, and the owners were accommodating with a later checkout. However, the home itself felt unkempt, though we acknowledge it is a ranch home. The kitchen cabinets were grimy and falling apart, and essential supplies like dish soap were missing. Overall our stay was fine and it’s a great place to sleep a lot of people. I would recommend a deep clean in the kitchen space and more kitchen supplies available.
House is big and in a beautiful location. Very basic kitchen supplies. If you plan on cooking, bring everything you will need.
Definitely a farm house, lots of bugs and spiders overall decently cleaned though.
If you have kids, make sure they wear closed toe shoes when outside.
Overall, great rustic stay and would take my family back.
From the owner: "Thank you, we have taken your suggestions and got the pest control done for a better experience for our guests!"
