The highlight was certainly the donkeys, goats, sheep and chickens. We also fished, found some tadpoles, and ATVd. Overall a great family get together while everyone was in town for a wedding. Very memorable way to extend the festivities of the weekend. We had the Goat Cottage and the farmhouse. Farmhouse kitchen was great for the whole group. Thank you! We hope to return!

We absolutely loved this place! We do a large family vacation every year. This year we had 10 adults and 9 children ages 4-10. We usually like to go to different places every year for variety, but every child wans to go back to Donkeytown for our next trip. It was quite an experience to have friendly donkeys and goats hanging out your back door every day. Tonya was so laid back and friendly it made the experience that much better. I'm sure we'll be back at some point!

Darling Farmhouse/shabby chic with lots of room. Very clean. Plenty of pillows, towels, well stocked kitchen. Donkeys, sheep and goats were very friendly. My daughter loved gathering the fresh eggs every morning. The kayaks were fun as were the trails and finding geodes.

Our family of 13 enjoyed our time here so much that they have asked if we can make this an annual tradition. Tonya and her staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating! They’ve thought of everything when outfitting the house…spaces for adults and littles and all ages in between! When we were fishing Tonya brought us bait. Later that afternoon they brought nice, age appropriate bikes down for our kids to ride. We had family photos taken the night we arrived and they left the donkeys and goats out over an hour later than normal to accommodate us without us even knowing they were doing something extra. Honestly, we would rate this 100 stars on all categories if we could. In an age where true hospitality it hard to find, Tonya and her staff are overflowing with it. It’s simply perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a big family weekend and had the farmhouse and both barndeminums. It was the best time ever. Beautiful weather weekend and the Host Tonya was super responsive and really fun to be around. Couldn’t have asked for a better host. Kelly was on it when sending texts in all the planning. Nothing bad to say at all and I would highly recommend for a relaxing family weekend. Full of fun with the animals and land. I will go again.

Tonya was wonderful host. This is a renovated FARM house, not a resort. Tonya has worked with all the animals to trust us and it works with extremely friendly donkeys, goats and chickens. First day, four 11 year olds were so reluctant to go outside with all these unfamiliar creatures around. Third day, they were retrieving eggs, interacting with the donkeys/goats like their best friends. So heart warming to see the kids walking around petting and interacting with these docile critters without any concern or fears. Beyond just a petting zoo. Kids saw a new born donkey (hours old). Fishing in ponds, trails and some adventures for the kids as well. Undeniable memories we will remember and the kids want to come back. City folks being able to experience a sliver of farm life with stories and laughs relating to thier favorite pet pals under the wonderful hosts welcoming personality. One notable memory, Two twin 2.5 year old girls playing outside with their toys while these huge (in comparison to them) donkeys sticking these noses in their business and the twins oblivious to these creatures was laughable.

Great spot for friends retreat!

Owner was great and very easy to work with, and quick to answer any questions we had before and during our stay. Farmhouse was great, and had plenty of room and beds for our whole group for our weekend friends retreat. Definitely will be staying here again for our future retreats!

Farmhouse was nice. Needs some handyman work here & there. For the price for 3 nights, 13 guests, a little steep. Outside around the farmhouse needs a little attention too.Host & farmhand were great.No laundry facilities. Wasn't a big deal.Kitchen set up was very nice. All the bedrooms & bathrooms were also very nice. Again, the handyman could use a To Do List.But, all in all, we all had a wonderful trip. Getting to know all the donkeys, goats, sheep & chickens was fantastic! The grown ups enjoyed as much as all the teens did. Between, June, Waylon & Willie, the most friendliest donkeys we ever met. Babies Ash & Liberty were adorable! They looked like cute little stuffed donkeys, they were so tiny. Fishing was catch & release. Nothing too big to even think about cooking. Only 1 good kayak & paddle to use. Didn't take out the row boat.The teens loved the doll cemetary & the geo field. Took home some beautiful rocks.I would recommend for a family with kids.

Family fall trip to Donkeytown

We loved staying at Donkeytown. We had the old farmhouse which was perfectly set closest to the ponds, donkeys and chickens. Tonya was such a joy and took the time with our family to ensure we had the best time. We will go again for sure.

If you're looking for somewhere to relax and find some peace, this is the place.

We came here to get away and do something as a family after going through a year of treatment with my son who has leukemia. We were looking for somewhere to gather our thoughts and just try to get back to normal and this was exactly what we needed!

Perfect Venue

Decided on this location since it was central to the majority of our wedding party. The relaxing atmosphere was perfect, allowing us to enjoy the company of friends and family which was of most importance to us on this special day (weekend). Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a special getaway for a relaxing memorable occasion.

The fabulous kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. Amy and Tonya were very helpful, and the farm is amazing. We all had a blast interacting with the donkeys, goats, lambs, chickens (great eggs!), and dogs! The adults and teenagers all loved it!

Great getaway for friends!

Tonya was so friendly and engaging; she gave the kids a tour and the animals were great with the kids. The variety of things to do can’t be beat. The house is spacious with many options for sleeping. The kitchen and the fire pit were the main gathering places… we’re grateful to have had this time spent with friends! Thank you!
