Pig Palace - Wishing Well Sanctuary
We booked this trailer as a surprise for my sibling’s birthday and had the best time. Annette was so wonderful, made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend the movie night in the barn, it was the perfect activity on a cool night for a spooky movie. I look forward to another visit in the future.

Glamping at The Koi Pond
Glamping with the animals
Glamping at the koi ponds was fantastic! Beautiful tent and lots of space. The paddle boat and kayaks were lots of fun (bring rubber boots for getting them in and out of the pond) Great cooking setup and cozy fire area. We went late in the season so it was pretty chilly but the extra blankets helped! The staff and animal care takers are very friendly and helpful, thunder the Llama gives kisses and the pigs and goats love their snacks! Will definitely be back again in the summer!

The Robin's Nest--Bunkie on a Farm
So many things stood out that it is difficult to narrow it down! Annette and Marc are so friendly and they both took the time with us during our stay. The farm tour was so detailed and it was amazing to meet the animals. The tent is located in a lovely spot and the farm was so easy to find

The Llama Lounge at Wishing Well
Llama Lounge stay
Llama lounge was a great place to stay. Annette and Marc are lovely and super helpful. Annette responds very quickly and was very accommodating. The trailer was very clean and the space was very cozy. It was pretty hot while we were there during the day, so the only downside was that there was no a/c - but fans were provided to cool off! The animals are hilarious and sweet. It was great to be able to interect with/feed them. We would definitely return!

Glamping at The Koi Pond
First time Glamping
Spent the weekend glamping at the Koi Pond with my five year old son and had an amazing time! We loved kayaking on the pond and the Barn Moovie Theatre! If you have kids the outdoor games package add on is a must! We also added on the vegan charcuterie platter from the Living Platter which was fantastic as well as ordered the vegan meats, just eggs and cheese through Annette which made shopping a breeze. Annette and Marc were fantastic hosts - so prompt and helpful to reply from the moment we booked to all throughout our stay. The tour of the animals was also fun and informative. The accommodations and property were gorgeous and the bed was oh so comfortable. We had an amazing time! Thank you again!!!

Pig Palace - Wishing Well Sanctuary
Great view
Overall, had a great experience. But I had the impression the lot had more space, as in I thought it was bit more remote from the other sites. But it was not we were side by side to another RV. I tried to go online to figure out more about Wishing Well as there seems to be a back story to this cute spot, there were volunteers saying they have been helping for 8 years there. Annette was helpful at arrival to show how to use the camper. I wish there was a way to use the awning. Note, theres no shade outdoors at the camper. But it's like folks who were at the sanctuary didn't know we were arriving. For instance, I had added the farm chores but even though we made time daily, nobody seemed to be able to delegate to us how to feed/help. So that was a disappointment for my child more than me. We just watched but my 4 year was like let's ask, as I thought it would be more hands on. I don't know what it was, but also, my friend has been here in the past and had a similar experience (it didn't go so well) So eventhough Annette could greet us, she was removed from the sanctuary and we were not integrated into the space.

Lovely spot. Sweet little trailer. Laid back place to roam and connect with animals. So fun to connect with all those involved in this sanctuary. The movie night was an extra special treat.

The Robin's Nest--Bunkie on a Farm
Everything was amazing! Gorgeous setting. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Beds are super comfy. Everyone is very friendly and we got to spend time with the Thunder, the llama as well as the sheep! We helped feed the pigs and goats. Hector the turkey is absolutely gorgeous! It was such a relaxing atmosphere. I wish i could have stayed for a week!

Camping With The Cows--Wishing Well
Camping with the Cows Experience!
We stayed at the Camping with the Cows @ the Wishing Well Sanctuary - and what an experience it was! How unique is it to wake up to seeing healthy happy cows graze! My daughter loved it, and we did too. It was nice to connect with nature so effortlessly. We strongly advise you to book well in advance - it is an enriching experience! Residence: The RV is just like in the pictures. It is very spacious and very clean. In fact the pictures for the Lama Lounge & Pig Palace are just the same: clean, spacious and so new! It was also fun to watch movies in the evening, as there was a DVD player (300 movies to choose from) in the RV. The shower and bathroom were also clean and made for a comfortable stay. Activities: - The outdoor games package was useful for our daughter to keep busy in the afternoons and play. I would suggest it, if you are into that. - The chores are a fun experience and it's free, so it's nice to book in that experience. - The guided tour is nice and personal. Lots to learn about the animals and get to meet them personally. - If you are there for a Wednesday, jump on the Wagon ride and see the Koi Pond. It's fun! Hosts: Annette and Marc are lovely people and wonderful hosts! They answered all our questions and ensured our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. This was the first time we stayed in an RV, and so I msged Annette a few times in the day and evening and she was quick to respond. Dining: The kitchen inside is ideal it has all you need!

Love for the Llama Lounge
Staying in the Llama Lounge was great fun for our whole family. The children loved the starlight movie experience and the lawn toys. We all loved the animals and the friendly, helpful faces ready to teach us. It was a wonderful way to spend our weekend. We hope to come back soon.
