Nice getaway
We enjoyed our two night stay in the wagon. The bedding was comfortable as was the air conditioning! It was fun seeing the animals roaming the farm in the morning and evenings. Our experience during the cow cuddle session was memorable and very informative. Great place to get away for a few days and relax.

The Sweetest Farm Animals
We had the most wonderful two-night stay at Rooterville, with the most peaceful sleep. Beds were super comfortable, waking up to the sheep grazing right outside our room was so sweet and feeding the animals while they followed us around the farm was so much fun! Turkeys who let you “hug” them, friendly pigs, sheep, cows and mini horses. Amazing experience, we will be back soon!

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.
