Welcome to Duck Haven

We are a small family run 501c-3 wildlife sanctuary. During your stay you will be able to see many unique and critically endangered animals, like a Patagonia Mara, a New Guinea Singing Dog, Lemurs, Wolfdogs, African Wildcats, critically endangered sheep, pheasants, peacocks, different wild breeds of ducks, the smallest and largest breeds of bunnies, horses, mouflon sheep, and much more.

Our farm is located in one of the few hilly areas of Florida, with theTrilby Trails just minutes away. Duck Haven is a private pet friendly studio apartment whose closest neighbors are a well behaved flock of crittically endangered sheep. It features a queen size bed, and a queen size sleeper sofa that can accommodate up to 4 guests. We have provided all the things that you might need to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. We have a convection oven, microwave over, hot plate, coffee maker, and a full size refrigerator inside the apartment for all your cooking needs. *Please note that we do not have a kitchen sink. Dishes will need to be washed in the bathroom.*

Come and enjoy sitting outside by the fire pit, enjoy the wonderful display of stars, or enjoy relaxing as you watch the nearby sheep and horses as they steadily munch the grass in the pastures.

*Things to note:
1. this is a farm, and it’s located in Florida so we tend to have bugs (grasshoppers, lizards, palmetto bugs, ants, mosquitoes, etc) that like to hang around. Even though we have a pest control company that sprays/treats our property on a regular basis this does not guarantee that you will not get a visit from one of our less desirable friends. We do not offer any refunds for this experience.

2. We are located 1/4 mile down a dirt road that sometimes gets a bit bumpy. I have a Honda Civic Coupe that has no problems getting down the road, but you may not like the dirt road experience.

3. FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR ANIMALS WE HAVE 24/7 VIDEO SURVEILLANCE OF ALL OUTDOOR PREMISES.*

    Our second stay was as amazing as the first!! Dona and her family are top-tier hosts, and the vibe on the farm reflects the love and care they put into their work. Thank you for everything, friends!! See you next time!

    This place is the whole reason I brought my kids to Florida for Christmas.. Dona is an amazing host, accomodations were perfect. All of the animals are well taken care of, Pixie the deer seems to be one of everyone's favorites.. One Eyed Jack is a sweetheart of a cat, just like the rest of the beautiful rehabilitated animals that get to live here with Dona & family.. I came for a spiritual reboot & got that and so much more. Thank you so much Dona!! I'll be back as soon as I can!

    This place is really special for so many reasons. The accommodations are impeccable, everything has been thought of by the amazing host and her mom. I didn't want to leave! It's like living out my fantasy of staying on a farm with so many beautiful animals. It's a peaceful sanctuary for people too!

    We had such a lovely experience staying here! My daughter chose this place because she wanted to be around animals, and it did not disappoint! We all enjoyed being so close to nature and getting the chance to interact with the animals—it was truly a unique and peaceful getaway. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with a special connection to wildlife, this is the perfect spot.

    Duck Haven and all the units at the sanctuary looked clean and nice. We very much enjoyed our stay and Dona is extremely friendly. We will definitely stay again anytime we are in the area.

    If you love animals - domestic, farm, and exotic - you're going to love this VRBO. Dona is a 5-star host, and the accommodations were perfect. My wife and I loved waking up on the farm and seeing all of the adorable furry friends, then exploring nearby Dade City and the surrounding area. We were able to enjoy a private tour of the sanctuary, which blew our minds! We will absolutely return for a future visit. Thank you for everything, Dona!!

    Stayed overnight New Year's Eve so we wouldn't have to drive back to Tampa after the Lantern Festival. Dona was so nice and a tour of the sanctuary was included. Pixie the deer is so sweet!

    My Fiancé and stayed here for a night while we were in the area and loved it. Dona was a great host and showed us all of her animals. We were very impressed and loved the experience. Would love to come back if we ever get the chance!

    Duck Haven was the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and I. We were able to explore during the day and have a nice and cozy apartment to come back to at night. I loved being able to look out our window and see the sheep, and looking at the horses as we pulled up the driveway. Dona was a very accommodating host, and her tour of the sanctuary on the property was so interesting and fun!
