The farm is absolutely beautiful and well cared for with big matted stalls, easy to navigate driveway, and 30 amp hookup right next to the barn. Can not thank this family enough for their hospitality!!!! 10/10 recommend!!"

(8/4/19) - "Clean and tidy, wonderful hosts, caring horsemen with a great facility.". . . (12/13/19) - "We have stayed many times at Circle J coming and going from the east coast. The hosts are welcoming at any hour (of course a tel. call advising arrival time is polite). Water, bedding, feeding in the morning - they could not be better. They do have a cabin on site that is super cute; great shower and kitchen. I give Lana and William a 10 plus. Every time I go through to Devon or Upperville I will stop here. Suggest you do, too.". . . (7/17/20) - "Nothing but positive things to say about Lana and Bill and their lovely stables. We stayed here on the way from Minnesota to Michigan for my daughter's horse show. Nice, large stalls and even a private paddock for our horse to stretch his very long legs out after a long drive. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and when we needed a place to stay on the way back on short notice due to Covid-19 regulations changing show dates, forcing us to leave earlier than planned, they accommodated us on very short notice. We stayed onsite in our trailer but got to see the cabin on the property and it is fabulous if you ever need a place to stay. Highly recommend Circle J!". . . (2/15/21) - "Amazing hosts, farm, and accommodations for horse and humans. Lana and Bill hosted our 6-horse hitch going and coming from the Iowa State Fair. Beautiful paddocks to run and safe stalls to overnight our draft horses. They even have the sweetest little cabin for on farm accommodations. Very highly recommend staying with these ne folks.". . . (/30/21) - "Superb people, beautiful facility, even had hay we could buy. They were waiting for us to arrive, helped us in every way possible, even brought a tractor over for us to clean out thetrailer into. Horses went into a beautiful, safe, grassy paddock, and they rented us a beautiful room in their own home. Even offered us breakfast in the morning! Sent us with fabulous homemade coffee cake that was beyond incredible, for the road. Could not have asked for kinder people, or a more beautiful relaxing stay for our horses. These folks are simply amazing!!". . . (6/2/22) - "What a great place ... we had some trouble with one mare who didn't want to load in the morning and I couldn't have asked for a more gracious host who stopped everything and helped to get her on and got us on our way.". . . (7/24/22) - "Bill and Lana are wonderful hosts! They accommodated the entire NY State HS Rodeo National team on our way to Gillette, WY! Spotless, well kept barn and facilities. They are conveniently located just over the Indiana border in Michigan. 3 miles from the highway. Highly recommend if you are heading across I-90.". . . (9/12/22) - "This place is a diamond! Very easy to find, close to the interstate. Roads were good going in. Large driveway with great turn around and level areas. Host met us in the driveway. Allowed us to have horses in a rather large pasture - great for them after a long trailer ride. The farm was absolutely pristine, tidy is an understatement. Family was nice, friendly. We hooked up on 50 amp I believe and had a nice level area. Hated to leave!! Will definitely use this layover again. She has B and B capabilities with a small, tidy house on site.". . . (3/4/25) - "Lana is a gem! I stay here quite often since this is a very common route for me along I-80/90. I can come and go at anytime, just give Lana a heads up. Her stalls are very large and extremely clean. She always has them ready upon arrival. The mini apartment/room is always clean and fresh. There’s also a tiny home that you can rent. I have 2 dogs so they get to enjoy the fenced in yard after a long day on the road. In and out is super easy, large driveway with a circle in front of the barn for easy unloading and turning around. I HIGHLY recommend this place!"
