A Family-Friendly Wildlife Getaway
We had such a lovely experience staying here! My daughter chose this place because she wanted to be around animals, and it did not disappoint! We all enjoyed being so close to nature and getting the chance to interact with the animals—it was truly a unique and peaceful getaway. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with a special connection to wildlife, this is the perfect spot.

Peaceful Getaway for Animal Lovers
If you love animals - domestic, farm, and exotic - you're going to love this VRBO. Dona is a 5-star host, and the accommodations were perfect. My wife and I loved waking up on the farm and seeing all of the adorable furry friends, then exploring nearby Dade City and the surrounding area. We were able to enjoy a private tour of the sanctuary, which blew our minds! We will absolutely return for a future visit. Thank you for everything, Dona!!

Just what we needed
Stayed overnight New Year's Eve so we wouldn't have to drive back to Tampa after the Lantern Festival. Dona was so nice and a tour of the sanctuary was included. Pixie the deer is so sweet!

Cozy and Fun
Duck Haven was the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and I. We were able to explore during the day and have a nice and cozy apartment to come back to at night. I loved being able to look out our window and see the sheep, and looking at the horses as we pulled up the driveway. Dona was a very accommodating host, and her tour of the sanctuary on the property was so interesting and fun!

Making Memories
My best friend & I brought our nine year old grandsons here. As stated above, everything was fantastic, from meeting Dona' s Mom, "Mrs. A", upon our arrival to the wonderful animal tour given by Dona, complete with the boys being able to feed some of the animals, to the perfect evening with a fire, and star viewing. Dona & her Mom went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. We made great memories here and look forward to our next time we can come again!

Unique Experience
Dona was an incredible host. She is on property and accessible. She responds quickly. The studio apartment was perfect for the two of us and our fur baby. You have the feeling of being secluded but yet have plenty to do within driving distance. We loved the peaceful feel of being on the farm. We booked two more stays.
