About this property
The Rustic Roost- at Donkeytown - Lake Monroe
Many say their visit was life changing. Come welcome a stress-free farmcation where you`ll experience therapeutic donkeys and lots of love. Something for everyone. Escape away from normal to farm country where you have your own farm and stay in a newly renovated 4 bedroom rustic barndominium on an active 40 acre farm of Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys, the most lovable creatures on the planet, and we`re not open to the public only to our guests.
Escape away from normal life to farm country where you have your own peaceful space and stay in the newly renovated Goat Cottage on an active 40 acre farm of Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys! Designed with family gatherings in mind, this cozy 4 bedroom unit gives you the space to come together and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere around you. Staying at Donkeytown also gives you a beautiful 40 acres to explore with hiking, picnics, and fishing in our two fully stocked ponds. Bring your fishing poles or just enjoy sitting on the pier while drinking a cup of coffee or watching the sunset.
We are proud to be a breeder of Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys touted as the `most lovable animals on the planet.` You can have as much or as little interaction with them as you desire. Feel free to hang out in barns and pastures with them and each day we close the gates and let a few free range on the farm. They`ll be glad to hang out with you, are very social and want lots of hugs and kisses. You`ll be able to say you `kissed ass at Donkeytown` when you leave. In addition, we have four free range goats, Willie, Waylon, Johnny, and June, plus two lambs, Pancho and Lefty, that will greet you daily!
Come welcome a stress-free farmcation where you`ll experience therapeutic donkeys and lots of love.
We can now accommodate conferences for up to 40 people with meeting space when you add the Farmhouse, a 7 bedroom and 4.5 bath in the original 1884 farmhouse (see listing #2710662) and when you add the multigenerational barns, (see listing #2181263).
Please note all reservations will include a 4% non-refundable credit card fee.
