Comments: )11/16/21) - "We have stayed at Silver Feathers twice and both times have been exceptional! Candi is wonderful about giving directions and communicating. It’s always reassuring to see the host greeting you as you pull in the driveway. Candi is super pleasant and helpful and, most important, both times the horse's stall has been clean, ready and safe!!!!!! We will be back!! C, S and CJ."

Comments: (10/6/22) - "The owners are very friendly and helpful. They gave excellent advice on local restaurants. Our horses were very safe and comfortable. Katavela Farms made our travel stop pleasant and restful.". . . (10/24/22) - "This is a wonderful place. great horse paddocks, safety is well considered. Easy to pull in with several rigs. Super close to highway, gas and restaurants. Brian was an outstanding host. Understands exactly what you need and is there to help!". . . (10/24/22) - "What a fantastic place! Brian was unbelievably accommodating. Outdoor paddocks are large with wood fencing, fresh water ready upon arrival and a hose connected to water horses easily. Everything is safely laid out with gates and secure fencing. Easy to drive in and park large rigs.5 miles from 65 a plus! Multiple diesel or gas options and restaurants within minutes of the farm and highway. Highly recommend!!!". . . (9/16/23) - "My husband and I were very pleased with Katavela Farm. We had a blowout on the interstate about an hour and 1/2 away from the farm. I called Brian regarding tire supply stores near by and he responded right away with a link to Belle Tire. When we arrived a young girl was there to help us get settled in and offered her help the next morning. Very nice large stalls and turnouts.We were able to keep our horses in one of the turnouts the next morning while we had all 4 tires replaced. Very peaceful and quiet area which is just what we needed after a very stressful day. Would definitely recommend!". . . (6/22/24) - "I can’t say enough good things about the place & Brian. He was very accommodating to us when we called on a very short notice. We used his outside turnouts & it was nice for our horses to get a break & know they were safe. There were lots of hotel and restaurant options close by and its location is close & very convenient from the interstate. Brian was also super helpful & kind and great to deal with."

Comments: (11/1/14) - "This was a fabulous facility. Meticulously maintained, friendly, knowledgeable owners and showed genuine care and concern for our horse. We felt very secure leaving our horse overnight. The owner went above and beyond bringing our horse in when inclement weather threatened; she even helped wrap her legs for shipping! The owners are a great example of great horse people! We highly recommend their facility.". . . (4/30/15) - "Very nice facility, highly recommend. Very helpful and nice big, open stalls for horses.

Easy access from highway. Kind of tight turn pulling out but, overall, a very good experience.". . . (10/24/19) - "We loved Bobbinstone! The facilities were immaculately clean and welcoming and reasonably priced. Horse stalls were large, safe, and well bedded. We sure appreciated Louise's care..topping off water buckets at night and early morning feeding. The farm was easy to get to and close enough to "civilization" for pizza delivery. We stayed there both to and from TN and would definitely recommend it!". . . (10/24/19) - "The stalls were very large and clean. The horses' water buckets were kept full and Louise would feed the horses early if you left hay by the stall. Plus we didn't need to clean the stalls in the morning. The host greeted us and was very accommodating. Beautiful farm and lovely place to walk our horses and park our trailers for the overnight. Would definitely recommend!. . . (11/8/19) - "Louise was a great help on our travels to the Dressage finals and being able to layover a night on a long trip. Nice big stall and an indoor arena to walk in if needed.

Had everything we needed! They allowed us to let our huge Belgian stretch his legs in the arena! They had an electric hook up which made it a whole lot easier! My mom and I both can’t back very good to save our life but he backed it up great for us! We rode the horse around and she offered us to go on a trail ride!! Amazing place and amazing people! We plan to come back to this place if we get out that way again!!". . . (9/24/21) - "Wonderful people, great hospitality! Clean beautiful barn. Will definitely go back there again!". . .

Once the horses were settled we all had pizza in the barn ( my favorite) and we were welcomed into their home to wash up and for breakfast in the morning. Words do not do justice for the help and hospitality we received. Hats off to Sandy and Mike. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping us safe."

(Editor's Comments: Due to the large amount of feedback we have received on this facility, all of it positive, we've posted only the more recent comments. We thank everybody who has sent in so many nice reviews.) (10/27/19) - "We stayed here in July as we voyaged across the country for a military move. Very easy to access facility and stalls were bedded and set up for us before we got there. Owners were friendly and readily available for us even though we got in late. Owner also cleaned out my trailer which was awesome. We utilized the cabin for additional members of my family and it was very clean and peaceful. Portapotty for the cabin was a little stinky but usable. Not a ton of space for parking but we fit my 41’ trailer in with only a few maneuvers. Highly recommend!". . . (3/16/21) - "Very nice, well kept stable. Nice pens and Mike couldn’t have been more welcoming. Helped put my 3 horses up and got them situated. Helped me situate my very long trailer and handled every question and need and very accommodating. I will definitely stay again when in the area.". . . (4/23/22) - "Great place! Would highly recommend; safe, clean, easy on/off.". . . (6/13/22) - "Mary Alice Bean, owner of Cuttin Up Stables, really treated us superbly! I had no sooner unloaded my gelding and I turned around to see her cleaning out my horse trailer! Didn't expect that! Very well appointed and cleaned stalls, access to paddock, nice quiet location, close to the interstate - could not possibly ask for more. Highly recommend!". . . (11/9/23) - "Mary Alice was very welcoming when we arrived. She helped to get us situated right away. She offered us a wheelbarrow and fork to clean out our trailer and even helped me to get mine cleaned out since I had a broken foot! We bought some shavings from her to make the next leg of our journey more comfortable for our mules. Her place is easily accessible from I-70 and there's a great breakfast served at the Speedway restaurant right down the road. When traveling cross country again, we will definitely look her up. Thanks Mary Alice for your hospitality.". . . (6/18/24) - "We have stopped here twice in the last year. It is always clean and they are very accommodating. Stalls are big with plenty of bedding. We have a 46 ft. LQ and have no problem getting turned around. This is a great place to stop!". . . (6/26/24) - "Cuttin' Up Stables in Sherry, IN was a beautiful layover spot! It was highly recommended to us by a friend that travels often! Great hospitality and a beautiful set up! Thanks for having us on our way to Iowa - and will be stopping back on the way to NJ!". . . (7/26/24) - "Mary Alice lives right there. Incredibly friendly and accommodating. We used a paddock with great footing, shade and fresh water. Clean and well-maintained stalls were available. Easy access and can handle large rigs. There is a very large indoor arena and while not needed for overnight it is nice to move the horses around if the weather was bad.". . . (9/25/24) - "This was the perfect place to stay right off the highway. Big area for me to pull my 42 foot trailer in. Huge pasture for Cody to be in. They also have nice stalls, plug-ins, and green grass. It was just great. I will definitely stay here again.". . .
