1 night at Skyacres aka the tin cottage

I needed a nights rest at Mr. Leonard. pulled in late. Mr Leonard showed me the site . He showed the shower and bathroom / toilet. I set up right when the sun went down being in a hurry. Leonard secured the gate to his property, big thumbs up!! The gate was reopened in the morning. I took a few pictures because his setup has many details and fulfilled dreams and scapes and tents and all kinds of detail relating to a comfort minded inspirational and useful accouterments by design and setup. You would have to see this place. In one word, nice.

The animal tour was even better than expected! So many animals and interactive birds. Lemurs, ferrets, foxes, a dingo etc. The adults and kids loved this stay. We are hoping to come back next year for a couple more days. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

I had a wonderful stay at Diego's Cabin! The experience was truly special, and I can't recommend it enough. Dona and her family were fabulous hosts – warm, welcoming, and so thoughtful. The Gulfwinds Animal Sanctuary is an absolute gem! We loved the sanctuary tour, and the chance to connect with the animals was incredible. The dark sky and farm environment made for such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're looking to unwind or enjoy nature, this is the perfect spot. I'll definitely be back!

1 night at Skyacres aka the tin cottage

It was a serene night in the woods under a star filled sky. Leonard was explanatory and friendly. He offered use of his grill and propane stove which was a plus!

1 night at Skyacres aka the tin cottage

Super nice piece of property tucked away from everything, but close enough to everything at the same time. Leonard was a great host! Primitive forest sites were private, clean and easy to access. Facilities and common areas were clean and well kept. I ended up staying a 2nd night and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Gulf Winds Wildlife Sanctuary

Dieago's Cabin is what we actually stayed in and it was super cute! Donna and her mother were very sweet and attentive. We loved the animals and our stay. We plan to make this a tradition and bring our little one as well! Thank you so much for everything!

3 nights at Gulf Winds Wildlife Sanctuary

It's a quiet and unique place. The breeze lodge is a livable fully loaded apartment. It was very clean and had everything you could possibly need. We were able to park our 25ft b class rv with no trouble at all. We didn't do a full tour but I saw peacocks, horse and my favorite ms. Piggy who lives out back she is super quiet and friendly possibly the best neighbor ever. The hosts are great the grounds are really pretty i love the Spanish moss that grows on the unique southern trees. You don't see that in the northeast. The white gravel road is great for walking, very scenic and not very busy with surrounding cow pastures.

Weekend Trip to Gulf Winds Wildlife Sanctuary

My stay here was great. It’s right next door to the horses. So, that was great. I also had a peacock, cat and the sweetest dog show up to say hi. The facilities themselves had a lot of features that I wasn’t expecting and were absolutely clean. I’d encourage anyone to expand their central Florida vacation beyond the corporate chain parks, restaurants and hotels. But, especially for anyone with an interest in animals this one’s a winner.

My husband and I had a great experience at Gulf Winds Wildlife Sanctuary. We arrived and were pleasantly surprised with a quaint and clean room. Dona is super friendly and was nice enough to give us a tour of the exotic animals. A quaint and cute Historic Downtown Dade City is only a 13 minute drive away and has several delicious restaurants to choose from! The purpose of our trip was to relax and that’s what we did.
