What a great location! Roger’s place was peaceful and we loved getting to meet all the animals! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Anuja's Review

Anuja Kolathu, on 2022-04-04

If you’re looking for a unique stay with personalized touches, this is it! Roger and Sabina are both so welcoming, kind, and open to sharing their life. My kids loved interacting with all of the sweet, friendly animals roaming around—especially Nala the dog and the baby pig. Roger always let us know when the pigs were downstairs and even let the kids feed the animals. He played guitar and sang on our last day, which was a total treat. We loved looking out the windows to see the horses on one side and the river on the other. The apartment itself was spacious, comfortable, and had just about everything one could need, including cooking oil, spices, dishes, etc. This place feels like a hidden gem!

Morgen's Review

Morgen Alexander-Young, on 2022-04-11

This is a great weekend stay for families with kids who love animals. Roger and Sabina are warm and welcoming hosts. Our kids spent hours outside interacting with all of the animals and learning a lot about how to care for them.
