We had a great visit! Jerry is very nice and responsive, there are so many animals to see (and feed!), and the house was incredibly comfortable. Perfect for a little vacation with our dog.

The host and the place was clean! I loved all the rescue animals! Bring apples and carrots for them and hotdogs for Fredrick the dog. We were in town for an event but got to enjoy the pond and the kayaks. We fished and caught some bass and brim. It’s a beautiful place.

Little slice of heaven

My family and I have had a really rough last couple of a months with a cancer diagnosis in our family. We needed a break from the real world and were lucky enough to stay at Jerry’s beautiful home. This place was a little slice of heaven. From the beautiful pond view to all of the SWEET and loving animals. This was exactly what our family needed. We are sad our trip is over but will definitely be booking again!

Really enjoyed the grounds and location

The grounds with the animals was great. The location is of the road and leaves you feeling secluded.

Jerry the owner of the property is a fantastic host and a great person. He had candy for the kids and fresh fruit for our stay. The animals are such a great addition and the scenic setting is a bonus everyday.
