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!
Booked this for thanksgiving get together and highly recommend if looking for countryside experience. Host Tonya was super helpful and even helped kids with feeding the animals. The house is well kept and perfect for families. Will be going back for sure
I couldn’t be more positive about the accommodations, the property itself, and all of the activities available for family of all ages. The donkeys provided us muc and entertainment. . The host, Tonya, was very accommodating to all of our requests and made our stay extremely enjoyable
Our group was large about 12 people wit several children. The donkeys and goats were amazing. Tonya the host was exceptionally accomodating. Would return.
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.
After losing my daddy suddenly this fall, this place was just what our family needed to make this Christmas a happy one. Everything was wonderful. The host was so helpful and the animals were perfect. I hope to come back one day soon!
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!
This place is awesome ! Tons of fun things to do but at the same time a great place to relax. Even with all the animals around, they kept the farm really clean! I highly recommend this place for a big family get together!
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!
Everyone had a super time! Make sure you wear good solid shoes sometimes the animals get excited and step on your feet ouch... My 3 year old granddaughter got knocked down a couple times but she was tuff. It was a great experience and the kids loved collecting eggs and cooking them.
We celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. All of the kids and grandkids had a comfortable bed for sleeping. We were able to cook our own meals and had plenty of room for playing board games and watching movies together. My favorite part was the large soaking tub! I also loved watching the donkey's from the windows and walking through the woods.
The entire family enjoyed the stay. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great kitchen. Plenty of room and the animals were a blast. We enjoyed walking the property and felt safe. Excellent! Thank you for making memories we will never forget!
On very short notice, The Farmhouse was able to accommodate our group of ladies for a weekend respite. Each participant had her own bedroom which was critical to the objective of the weekend. The goats, donkeys, sheep, and chickens were a nice "therapy distraction". Will definitely consider coming back for a weekend in the fall.
Our family of 12 spent a few days here for fall break. We really enjoyed it! It was a great way to experience farm living. Tonya and Amy were so accommodating. I miss it already and would love to go back.
Something for everyone.Loved the animals being out and close for everyone to feed/enjoy. Lots of space. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the dishes/pans we needed.
Everyone had a great time! We had all ages and all the kids had something to do along with the adults. Spent most of our time outside. Enjoying the wonderful property. Ate fresh eggs for breakfast each morning and the kids had a great time collecting those eggs! Everyone was talking about coming back before we even left!
