Old and quirky- had character but also very functional. Loved the animals and if we didn’t have kids would love to sleep in one of the other rooms.

This is a great place to stay with kids who like animals. The units are very unique; we stayed in the yurt which was very comfortable. We stayed there during a cool spring night and were never cold. The animal feedings are really cool. The variety of farm animals is great, and all of the animals are friendly. The staff were helpful and informative.
