"There are donkeys and sheep and goats and chickens and dogs and miniature horses... This place is a wonderful relaxing haven to escape and unwind. Rooms are clean and comfortable."
"Donkeytown was a blast. The property is full of friendly animals, donkeys, chickens, sheep, goats and dogs. The views are beautiful and the farmhouse is charming, rustic and delightful. The owner was so kind and gracious to us. Highly recommend."
"We fell in love with this place! We pulled into the property and we’re instantly greeted by baby goats, donkeys, and sheep. The animals were so fun and interactive! The house was also super spacious and my bed was so comfortable! We had 15 people and there was more than enough room. They also provide so many things like boots (you def need them!), bikes, games, a fire pit with wood, a side-by-side, boat, a basketball goal and more! We even got fresh eggs each morning. The owners were also very friendly and made us feel so welcome! Can’t say enough good things… highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back!!"
"This was a WONDERFUL stay for my extended family. There was a comfy place to sleep for everyone and plenty to do. Tonya and Amy went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Pros (too many to list): *super comfortable beds and soft bedding *luxurious towels *fully stocked kitchens (even all the spices we needed *ALLL the recreation. The kids (and adults too) loved riding around on the side-by-side, finding geodes, fishing, boating, riding bikes, collecting eggs, petting donkeys, and they even set up a waterside for the Littles. *The cleaning responsibilities were easy and not over the top. Dumpster is conveniently located. *Any need that arose, someone was quick to show up with a solution, often going above and beyond. Cons (few): *Water pressure in the showers wasn't great. Maybe more of a shower head issue. Cold water could be difficult to turn on. *The AC went out in one of the buildings while we were there, but they brought over a bunch of fans and the weather was mild enough that it wasn't a big deal. *No guest laundry facility. *A bit of a drive from attractions, but there's enough to do on site that it really doesn't matter. We recommend the cave boat tour in Bedford."
