Dade City, Florida
We are a 501-3 animal sanctuary that focuses on critically endangered animals, and also offers permanent houses to many different species of wildlife, and farm animals. We have many different species of animals that you would normally only be able to see at the zoos like our New Guinea singing dog, rock hyraxes, foxes, and Patagonia cavy. Come relax and enjoy the quiet life of county living. We have many animals that you are able to interact with, and we are also right off of Trilby rd where many cyclists enjoy training on some of the rare hills in Florida.
This is a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment with a full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. The apartment is about 1000sq feet with all the convences of home. Stay for the night or stay for a couple of weeks!!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. The hostess, Dona went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The property is peaceful and tranquil and quaint and charming and comfortable. It is a great space. Dona took extra special care in hosting us and taking me and my 9 year old niece around to help with the animals and my niece learned so many things about grooming and feeding and overall care. This was a weekend my family will not soon forget and we look forward to visiting again! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
Stayed 3 days. The apartment was spacious. My Aussie was happy. Its clean and comfortable. I had the pleasure in meeting the host, wonderful people, very down to earth. Great location. Close to cities in a short drive but you're in a lovely rural area. I will definitely return.
Dona and her family are very gracious host. My daughter loved being around the animals and the serenity from the city is just an escape. Highly recommend
This was a great place to get away for a weekend
This was our second stay. The location is central to our children and granchildren. We like that this rental is very dog friendly and our grandchildren can see and experience a the animals and life on a working family farm. Our grandbabies wear boots when they walk about as a true farmer should.
My family and I came here for the night while I was working out of town. We were all so excited to stay here based off reviews and pictures. Dona, was great with communication and very sweet and welcoming in person. She had the best little country accent and When we arrived her lovely dogs greeted us at the car and were all very friendly with us and our two kids. The farm was beautiful and well maintained, however The apartment needed a lot of maintenance and updating. Due to finding a very large black widow and her massive amount of egg sacks immediately upon entering the screened in porch leading into the apartment, we were very uncomfortable staying and were worried that our two year old would get bit if not paying attention. We ended up booking a room at a nearby hotel instead of staying at the farm. We did not ask for a refund as it was our choice not to stay.
I needed to be away from the city. It is another world. The owners were very friendly. I didn’t want to leave.
We were in Dade City for the annual Bug Jam. We were looking to add to our experience by staying in a quaint VRBO instead of a cookie-cutter hotel, as we have done in the past. This place far exceeded our expectations. Loved being one with nature and enjoying all the animals at the farm. Our dog enjoyed it too. She now has lots of new animal friends. Thank you Dona and Mom for welcoming us and for a great little getaway!
Dona & Her Mother are The nicest ,Go way above and behond to make You feel like Home. Perfect Family Kids friendly Country Gateway. We Loved every Moment Thanks You & I'll be Back !
The farm apartment looks exactly as the photos show. Dona and her mom, Aleta, were the perfect hostesses....but allowed a perfectly private stay. I am retired from working at a zoo....so if you love animals....this is a dream come true! I needed to find a place to stay while I waited for the closing on my new home...and a place that would accept my two cats, as well. This beautiful farm is out in the country but was still about 30 minutes away from my new home. My GPS worked great and got me right to the farm with no problem. Honestly, the next time I need a little getaway I would totally want to stay here again. As a single woman, I felt perfectly safe, too. I have friends from out of state, and I told them, you don't want to stay at my house....Stay on the FARM!! This was my first VRBO experience, and I just cannot stop raving about it! Dona, Aleta, I feel as if I have made my first New Friends in my new home state! Thank you for everything! AND...the beautiful roses on the table were such a classy touch!
We enjoyed our short stay while in the Florida area. The accommodations were great and met our needs. We will definitely return in the future.
