Kinderwood Farms — Hotel in Capitola

Thank you, Mac and Lauren! We had the most special time last week for my birthday overnight at their Bnb. We added the cheese making and dinner experience to our stay and it was well worth it. We got to interact with and feed the baby goats and pigs, milk the adult goats, and enjoy some amazing homemade pizza and conversation for dinner. They also have two super cute friendly house dogs and we interacted we the cuddliest farm kitty named Zoolander.

Most of time, we hung out with them in their home which they graciously opened to us. For breakfast, they made us coffee and a delicious green smoothie and offered to make us eggs and toast. We were sent home with a loaf of homemade sourdough bread and delicious goat cheese.

Mac and Lauren are amazing hosts who truly enjoy sharing unique experiences with people. They have a culinary background also and the food they make from scratch shows. It was the most incredible time learning about the farm and their lifestyle. I wholeheartedly welcome anyone to take a day or night visit with them and plan to bring...

My partner and I stayed here during my break from grad school. What a great choice! Mac and Lauren were so warm, welcoming, funny, knowledgeable, and talented. We got a lot of joy from learning about all the animals and how Mac and Lauren run the farm together. The hogs, chickens, turkeys, cats, dogs, and of course, the goats, were all friendly and playful. We got to milk goats and bottle-feed the newborn goats as well -- they are so funny and rambunctious! Lauren made us a great breakfast each morning, and we joined Mac and Lauren (and baby Rex!) for a delicious and enjoyable dinner one evening. I was really impressed that Mac and Lauren were so chill considering Rex was not even 7 weeks old! They also had great recommendations for things to do in Aptos. Our stay here was lovely and memorable, and we are recommending Kinderwood Farms to all...

My stay at Kinderwood Farms was truly inspiring, seeing firsthand how eating farm-to-table makes such a difference in both health and happiness. It was amazing to see exactly where your food is coming from, how the animals are being treated so well, and how much more rewarding it feels to be connected to what you eat. I had so much fun learning how to make sourdough bread with Mack, feeding the baby goats, and even making cheese from goat’s milk that I helped milk myself with Lauren!

Kinderwood Farms offers an authentic and unique farm stay experience that anyone looking to reconnect with nature, good food, and simple joys should absolutely experience! Thank you both for your hospitality and a peek into such a blissful way of living! Say hi...
