This was a unique trip and holiday for my adult daughter and me. The cabins were clean and exactly as described on their website. We participated in most of the events offered and enjoyed interacting with and learning about the exotic animals. The staff is very knowledgeable; we were educated on many aspects of nature and wildlife. We went horseback riding twice and found it challenging yet enjoyable. We plan on returning someday, so our stay was top-notch for two nature and animal lovers.

Costumer service wasn’t that great. Very stubborn concierge when we explained that both Expedia and Blue Hills Ranch were charging us fees. Also they charged for my one year old an extra fee when both the owner and policy stated they wouldn’t, the employee didn’t understand. We weren’t trying to argue with her so we left it at that.

Amazing cabin at new exotic animal farm

This was an amazing property for our family who loves nature. The cabin was extremely clean, had a fun pirate theme and felt incredibly cozy. Being able to watch the exotic animals feed in our back yard, as well as the sunset from the deck was a bonus. I would highly recommend paying extra for an ATV Safari tour which takes you around the entire property and allows you to see all the animals up close. This is a place that my 11 year old son (and us!) will be talking about for years to come.
