Our antique town is an amazing experience to explore with lots of history and complete with quaint shops and restaurants, boating and lots of things to do. Rennigers Antique Center is located right up the street (less than 5 minutes away) for some great picking. We are conveniently close to the Central Florida Attractions and the beach on both east and west coasts within an hour drivep. A few Campers favorite places to visit are Mount Dora Bike Trail - 2.6 miles, Kelly Park - 11 miles and Kings Landing 12 miles from farm. We offer youth day camps on various dates, pony rides and a tour of our farm animals for an additional fee. Reservations required in advance due to the other activities we have going on. In 2007, we had no idea where this adventure was going to take us. Our small urban farm was sharing our miniature animals with assisted living facilities and Neulife, where we have 3 miniature horses that live on their property. Little by little we have evolved into more of a need to share with the community and help others with the relaxing qualities our farm and animals have to offer, we want to be able to share and better educate with hands on experiences, teach kindness, patience, confidence and help others to be the best they can be. Thank you for your time and if you visit, share a review! Reviews are the best way for us to better ourselves and your experience. Have a great stay!

Weekend Trip to Home of Many Miniature Animals

We loved our stay on the farm! The property was well kept and the campsites were set up nicely. We did visit during the off season, so we had the place to ourselves except for one night. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The farm animals were so cute. Lastly, the farm cats were the best! They both came up to us for some love and attention. The one cat, Spurs, sat on my lap at our campsite one of the nights as we sat by the camp fire. We will definitely book again!

Great stay, wonderful according host, and pretty area. Location to Orlando wasn't too bad, either. I enjoyed myself. I would just note that the "water" hook up is the hosts open offer to fill your water tanks, instead of a full time water hook up. They DID offer to combine hoses with me to run the hose all the way from the house and across the drive way to my parking spot, which I declined, so they were willing to help me achieve what I wanted. I decided, as where I wanted to park my trailer would be too far, though. Still, 5 out of 5 stars for sure. Was barely a setback, just worth noting in case living off of your tanks isn't possible for your rig.

Campsite #1- Ewok Village in the Trees!
We live in Florida, there are TERRIBLE Fire Ants here! Best to camp in the TREES!!
An entire small, "EWOK-VILLAGE STYLE" region of our 2.5 wooded acres will be dedicated to this project. EACH tree-tent will be $25/night (including 2 people). You MAY bring additional regular tent, of your own to use-it is $10/add'l person, per night.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2-day stay at Kelley and Victor's slice of heaven. Loved camping in their sky tent, which fared very well with the summer storm that came through the first night. Kelley and Victor adore their home, and it shows. They have a gorgeous garden and are consistently improving to beautify the land. The outdoor shower was the absolute perfect temperature. Thanks, Kelley and Victor for a great visit. I so enjoyed the quiet time amongst the trees.

Lovely and peaceful getaway near Mt. dora historic district and within a reasonable drive of multiple spring heads. Stayed just for the night but we were gifted with the curiosity filled visitation of two beautiful Barred Owls, who watched over us intently as we setup camp, ate dinner and told scary stories around our campfire. Tracey was welcoming and answered any questions that I had immediately via the app. We would stay again.
