"Tonya was wonderful host. This is a renovated FARM house, not a resort. Tonya has worked with all the animals to trust us and it works with extremely friendly donkeys, goats and chickens. First day..."

Tonya was wonderful host. This is a renovated FARM house, not a resort. Tonya has worked with all the animals to trust us and it works with extremely friendly donkeys, goats and chickens. First day, four 11 year olds were so reluctant to go outside with all these unfamiliar creatures around. Third day, they were retrieving eggs, interacting with the donkeys/goats like their best friends. So heart warming to see the kids walking around petting and interacting with these docile critters without any concern or fears. Beyond just a petting zoo. Kids saw a new born donkey (hours old). Fishing in ponds, trails and some adventures for the kids as well. Undeniable memories we will remember and the kids want to come back. City folks being able to experience a sliver of farm life with stories and laughs relating to thier favorite pet pals under the wonderful hosts welcoming personality. One notable memory, Two twin 2.5 year old girls playing outside with their toys while these huge (in comparison to them) donkeys sticking these noses in their business and the twins oblivious to these creatures was laughable.

Farmhouse was nice. Needs some handyman work here & there. For the price for 3 nights, 13 guests, a little steep. Outside around the farmhouse needs a little attention too.Host & farmhand were great.No laundry facilities. Wasn't a big deal.Kitchen set up was very nice. All the bedrooms & bathrooms were also very nice. Again, the handyman could use a To Do List.But, all in all, we all had a wonderful trip. Getting to know all the donkeys, goats, sheep & chickens was fantastic! The grown ups enjoyed as much as all the teens did. Between, June, Waylon & Willie, the most friendliest donkeys we ever met. Babies Ash & Liberty were adorable! They looked like cute little stuffed donkeys, they were so tiny. Fishing was catch & release. Nothing too big to even think about cooking. Only 1 good kayak & paddle to use. Didn't take out the row boat.The teens loved the doll cemetary & the geo field. Took home some beautiful rocks.I would recommend for a family with kids.

We enjoyed our long weekend at Donkeytown. The owner was very accommodating & inviting even though we could tell she was very busy with the current farm work that needed to be done. There were 2 kayaks which was enough for us. I think the description says 4. We brought our own life vests since owners were lost in a barn fire. The Farmhouse includes a small little cottage off the back of the house which is in one of the site pics, but i never read that it was included. We ended up not needing it since one of our families had to cancel. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen/dining room/family room was large enough for all of us to be in close proximity at mealtime. Weather was nice enough that we ate dinner on front porch. Beware, cuz the goats and a couple donkeys caught on and decided to join us. They mainly were looking for scraps. When we first arrived, someone brought us a bucket of alfalfa treats to break apart and feed the donkeys. This was a huge hit with the kids. Just know that the bigger donkeys will crowd you and bump your elbow or even help themselves to the bucket. Some of the smaller kiddos got spooked when the animal where crowding in around them. They were not ever aggressive. It can just be freaky if you are not used to animals. Owner also has built a 3 sided shelter down by one of the ponds. It was nice to pack a picnic lunch and sit on the comfy furniture by the pond. Since our grandkids are young, 1-6 yrs old, the kids have suggested we repeat this trip. We agree.

Darling Farmhouse/shabby chic with lots of room. Very clean. Plenty of pillows, towels, well stocked kitchen. Donkeys, sheep and goats were very friendly. My daughter loved gathering the fresh eggs every morning. The kayaks were fun as were the trails and finding geodes.
