8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2026
We had a nice time. Good things are happening here but the shelter needs support. While we were there, people brought their cats and/or dogs to give away; it's heartbreaking that they cannot take care of their own animals. The VRBO income is supposed to help so I hope people come. Some things to know: It's a comfortable house with spacious living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom. The laundry room has twin beds and my son and daughter-in-law made do. We enjoyed the cats greeting us every day; some were okay with being petted, some kind of shy. Dogs were mostly inaccessible; we could see but not pet them, and they did not bark much. Many goats but a challenge to put a carrot through the double chainlink fence. Plenty of donkeys that we were able to feed ; they are surprisingly pleasant and attractive animals. Only one old horse and a couple of miniatures. The "natural" waterfall is overflow from the muddy lake through a drainpipe. The lake is small but it was easy to get a paddleboard (not provided) or kayak on it. I suppose you could swim in it. Wear a life jacket or the owner will yell at you. (Ha, just needling him; he is concerned about his insurance costs.) A wedding chapel is being built on the property and I heard there might be a houseboat to rent at some point.

We had a great visit! Jerry is very nice and responsive, there are so many animals to see (and feed!), and the house was incredibly comfortable. Perfect for a little vacation with our dog.

The host and the place was clean! I loved all the rescue animals! Bring apples and carrots for them and hotdogs for Fredrick the dog. We were in town for an event but got to enjoy the pond and the kayaks. We fished and caught some bass and brim. It’s a beautiful place.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Our stay was fine. There is an overall smell of cat pee and several stains on the furniture. We felt like we were being watched by the owner and animal caretakers. We were scolded for driving too fast down the driveway and immediately started to be more careful but the owner continued to give dirty looks. The house is nice and we enjoyed visiting with the rescue animals.
