About this farm stay rental


Escape away from normal life to farm country where you have your own peaceful space and stay in our cozy Farmhouse on an active 40 acre farm of Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys! Designed with large family gatherings in mind, you will have a spacious building with 7 bedrooms that can sleep 19 people. You will also have your own spacious kitchen to congregate with family and friends, where your group can cook their meals and enjoy camaraderie. Staying at Donkeytown also gives you a beautiful 40 acres to explore with hiking, picnics, and fishing in our two fully stocked ponds. Bring your fishing poles or just enjoy sitting on the pier while drinking a cup of coffee or watching the sunset.

We are proud to be a breeder of Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys touted as the "most lovable animals on the planet." You can have as much or as little interaction with them as you desire. Feel free to hang out in barns and pastures with them and each day we close the gates and let a few free range on the farm. They'll be glad to hang out with you, are very social and want lots of hugs and kisses. You'll be able to say you "kissed ass at Donkeytown" when you leave. In addition, we have four free range goats, Willie, Waylon, Johnny, and June, plus two lambs, Pancho and Lefty, that will greet you daily!
Come welcome a stress-free farmcation where you'll experience therapeutic donkeys and lots of love.
We can now accommodate conferences for up to 40 people with meeting space when you add the Barndominiums at Donkeytown - Indiana's Premier Multi-generational Destination (See listing #2181263)

    I have no idea how this place and the owner have high ratings. About 9 pm the very first night a lady comes to the house IRATE AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS AT US that we let the make donkey out with the others. When those at the house tried to explain that they didn't see anyone over where she was talking about she screamed "OH I SEE YOUR GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES". Even though I txt her at 4 pm to let her know we were there she never showed up until this incident. We stayed in 1884 house, one bedroom has 2 vanities and only 1 of them half way works. The door came off the hinges of another. One bedroom upstairs has no air cond. We saw mice and mice droppings in the kitchen. only 1 time in 6 days did someone come around and pick up the animal droppings that are everywhere including sidewalks. There is no washer & dryer if your wondering, that's an email she wouldn't answer. When you sat on one of the toilets downstairs you lean to the side, it definitely needs repair. She promised our grandkids 2 times she would give them donkey rides but never did and they were sad. If you're not going to do something don't bring it up! 3 weeks later another family we knew went there and had an even worse time with mice in the barndominium than we did in the house. She never apologized about screaming at my entire family the first night, or for anything as far as that goes. The donkeys are great, the owner (or whoever came yelling) isn't. I definitely won't recommend to anyone.

    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.

    Tonya was so friendly and engaging; she gave the kids a tour and the animals were great with the kids. The variety of things to do can’t be beat. The house is spacious with many options for sleeping. The kitchen and the fire pit were the main gathering places… we’re grateful to have had this time spent with friends! Thank you!

    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 group was large about 12 people wit several children. The donkeys and goats were amazing. Tonya the host was exceptionally accomodating. Would return.

    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.
