Luxury Covered Wagon, Rooterville Animal Sanctuary

Welcome to an unforgettable stay where country charm, modern comfort, and animal magic come together. Our luxury covered wagon offers a truly unique glamping experience set on a peaceful animal sanctuary, surrounded by forests, ponds, pastures, and some of the friendliest farm animals you’ll ever meet.

Inside the wagon, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing escape. Sink into an incredibly comfortable king bed dressed in premium linens, enjoy central heat and air conditioning, and refresh in your private bathroom with a hot shower. A thoughtfully equipped kitchenette includes a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and dining area, perfect for easy meals and morning coffee before a day of exploring the farm.

Step outside and take in serene pond views, twinkling fairy lights, and your private firepit with seating. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, stargazing, or simply enjoying the quiet, evenings here are pure magic. During the day, wander the property, relax in shared outdoor spaces, or watch wildlife pass by.

The heart of this experience is our animals. From pigs to mini horses, and especially our beloved fluffy Highland cows, each has their own personality and charm. Guests often say the time spent with the animals is both joyful and deeply calming. Optional Highland cow cuddle experiences are available and are truly unforgettable.

A wonderful experience inside a farm

A unique and original way to go camping. A very comfortable wagon, equipped with everything needed to prepare breakfast. Elaine, the owner, is very helpful and kind.

Laid back and unplugged.

No TV and no phone (by choice). I did hear a TV/ipad in the wagon nextdoor. I thought late afternoon what are we going to do tonight? My granddaughter was so enthralled with her idea of a great time - fishing things out of the pond, visiting the turkeys, and making sure all the animals had non-stop treats. Take plenty of carrots, apples, blueberries, and grapes. So the evening came and after her shower she asked to lay down at the front of our wagon to watch for lightning bugs. Some showed up and we were both delighted. All in all unplugging well worth it.
