Pig Palace - Wishing Well Sanctuary
Amazing stay!
The trailer was beautifully decorated, exactly like in the photos! But you don't really see the animals much from this location. The pigs are located closer to the entrance and the cows have so much space so you can't really see them. It's right next to the cow trailer but there is still enough privacy. My favourite part of the stay was the sanctuary tour! I loved hearing all their stories and learning more about their personalities!

The Llama Lounge at Wishing Well
The Llama Lounge was a comfortable and relaxing place to spend the weekend. The trailer fit 3 adults without issues (one in the main bed, one on the bottom bunk, one on the futon). The lawn had enough lawn chairs for 5 people. We were surrounded by the llamas pen and some buildings, making it a nice and private area to spend time.

Country Loft-Wishing Well Sanctuary
Our stay in the country loft at Wishing Well was so grounding and heart filling. Stacey, Marc and Annette were all very kind and have such big hearts for all of the animals. We loved our tour of the farm and opportunity to meet a lot of the animals in their homes. I can’t believe we got to hug a cow, pet and feed lots of pigs, bond with a Llapaca and help put a Turkey to bed. The loft was really cozy and rustic. It was nice to watch some dvds and unwind. We were silly and forgot to do the scavenger hunt! Next time we would like to try the glamping site or the llama lounge.

Glamping at The Koi Pond
Glamping by the Koi Pond
My husband and I had a great time at the Koi pond! Always thrilled to have kayaks to paddle about in. The tent was spacious and the space had everything we needed included bbq and cooking utensils, water, an outdoor shower, and a cooler. The farm tour is a must to meet and interact with the animals. We will forever remember Hector the turkey and his tendency to show off. Also recommend watching a movie in the barn! Such a cozy and one of a kind set up. Thanks for having us! I always have recommended this spot to my family and friends.

Country Loft-Wishing Well Sanctuary
We had an amazing weekend away! We were able to disconnect while still being a few minutes drive from shops and restaurants. The animals are super friendly and our hosts were great to chat with while exploring the grounds. We will definitely be back!
