FAQ's 1. Can I bring kids? Children must be ages 12yo and up for both yurts (Stargazer & Painted Pony yurts) -----> Remember there is a 2-guest max 2. Can I smoke? The yurts are strictly NO smoking inside, no vaping and no marijuana smoking as the next guest will appreciate an odorless welcome and you'll avoid the extra "deep cleaning fee." 3. Which yurt should I choose? The main difference between the Painted Pony yurt and the Stargazer yurt is the roof and setting. The Stargazer yurt has a clear roof and sits in the open. (Keep in mind elements out of our control like wind, dust, and pollen counts can make the Stargazer yurt roof less clear.) The Painted Pony yurt, has a regular canvas roof and sits in the shade. Both yurts have 3-speed fans included and do not have AC or heat. 4. Extra guests in the yurt? The yurts have a strict 2-guest-only policy. 5. Can friends (not on my reservation) come visit me? No, all visitors here must be registered guests as the public is not granted access here. 6. Are pets allowed? Service animals?

These outdoor cameras also record at night and are available for any emergency services to review. 9. Are there animals nearby? Yes! Cowtown is named after our unique Scottish Highland bull with one horn up and one down. You'll see “Herbie” peacefully grazing in a nearby pasture along with horses, goats, an alpaca, a sheep, a rare curly-haired pig, a peacock, and fancy top-hat chickens that all call the ranch home. 10. What on-site activities are there? Our most popular experience is "Chores N Tour” where you meet up with Shelley to feed all 20+ animals. Go ahead! take selfies with Fonzie the kissing alpaca, play the rollover challenge with Charlotte the pig, and hay the jumping goats. As a bonus, Shelley will also let you check out the inside of any unoccupied Airbnbs on the property to plan your next trip! Chores n' tour is $10/ person and lasts between 45-60 minutes. Also on-site, are Brush N Bond sessions, horse whispering lessons, and farm animal paint sessions. You can book activities and get available times once you check-in. 11.

The rest of the property is reserved for animal pastures (habitats) and fenced off for safety. Animals are easily viewed from all locations. 12. What sounds can I expect to hear? Expect to hear typical sounds of nature such as crickets, owls, and the crackling of a fire. In the morning, you'll hear our sweet goat trio, Charlotte the pig, and her excited "oinks" along with the occasional "honk" from Petey our peacock who is ready for breakfast! Luckily for all of us, there are no roosters ;) 13. What are the check-out procedures? We ask that guests leave the yurt the way they found it (neat and tidy.)
