What a fun and unique experience at Ilana’s animal sanctuary! The trailer we stayed in was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The trailer is privately situated but Ilana was always available if needed. The opportunity to help feed, learn about and interact with the variety of rescued animals was fantastic. The property has places to hang out and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. My 3 1/2 year old grandson loved it. And to top it off, you’re contributing to the animal sanctuary’s operational costs when you stay there. A real win-win! You can even go home with a dozen freshly laid eggs! Highly recommend.

The owner is a fantastic person. She told us the story of each of her rescues. All the animals are in impecable shape. She spends hours preparing food for each one every day. We were fortunate to join her in the morning. The love and care is mind blowing. If you like animals do not even think about it, just go. You would love it

Our family truly enjoyed our stay. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and all of the animals were clearly very well cared for. The RV was comfortable and cozy.
Our kids especially loved one of the hens named Happy Feet. They spent time petting her and digging in the dirt to find worms for her to eat. We also loved meeting the turkey who purrs when you pet it!
Thor, the big fluffy love bug of a dog, completely stole the show. He even “knocked” on our RV door and let himself in when we opened it, then happily plopped onto the couch. Our girls spent hours petting him, and he gently pawed at them whenever they stopped. We looked forward to his visits every morning and evening.
It was such a special place to slow down, disconnect, and relax. Our youngest was emotional when we left because she had bonded so deeply with Thor. Spending time with him meant more to us than we expected. We lost our beloved dog of 13 years last year, and Thor reminded us of the joy a dog can bring to a family.
This place is truly special, and we’re so grateful for the experience.

We had an absolute magical time staying at the rescue. The RV was well equipped for a family of 4 (2 adults, preteen and a toddler). The heater and heating blanket were a plus especially in February. We would absolutely recommend this place! Would love to go back soon!

A lovely stay. The camper is well equipped and comfortable. However, you’re really coming for the animals and Ilana’s hospitality. We got to help feed all the animals at 4:30pm and snuggle with Thor, a gentle giant of a dog. A great quick trip! Highly recommend

We had so much fun! My husband and I stayed in the camper with our three children (all under 5). It was the perfect way to relax and have downtime and animal time. The kids could roam around and enjoy the animals. Lots of outdoor furniture and places to snack, hammock, read, etc. Camper is very nice and clean with a good kitchen. Ilana is there onsite (in her home ) and very responsive and shared with us about the animals.

Such an awesome place and such a great cause. My daughter and boyfriend stayed the night in the trailer and had a wonderful time meeting and hanging out with all the residents. The rest of us came for a visit the following morning and spent hours meeting all the animals.
Thanks so much Ilana! We WILL be back soon for a longer visit.

We had the best visit. Ilana was an amazing host. I traveled with my family (two young kids) and they loved helping with the animals.
The RV experience was delightful and we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit again!

This was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I took my three grade school kids and they thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, fresh air and truly welcoming and patient hostess in Ilana. They are already asking to go back. There is a lot of love and care in the space and the accommodation is well appointed. I love that the proceeds go to support the animals in her space. Cannot wait to cook up the eggs. We will be back.

I recently had an incredible glamping experience in Ilana's trailer at 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary. The trailer was immaculate, cozy, and well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Being surrounded by the sanctuary's beautiful animals added a unique and heartwarming touch to the trip. Ilana was an exceptional host, ensuring we had everything we needed and making us feel right at home. The tranquility of the sanctuary combined with the joy of interacting with the animals made this trip unforgettable. I highly recommend this glamping spot for anyone looking to unwind and connect with nature and animals. Can't wait to come back!

This camper and Ilana’s sanctuary are a magical combination of kindness, relaxation, beauty, and animal hugs. The camper has everything the two of us needed, including a clean shower and toilet as well as air conditioning and a comfy bed. We helped feed the animals, all of whom were super nice, nobody was wild or aggressive, and all really nicely taken care of by Ilana. She has such a sweet relationship with the animals, and you can tell that they reciprocate her love. If you’ve never petted a purring turkey, or brushed a donkey or a huge gentle steer, or fed gourmet salads to very happy ducks, you should definitely come visit Ilana. I’ve heard people say, may life treat you the way you treat your animals, and Ilana can teach us all a thing or two about that. Thanks for our really lovely weekend and for everything you do for the animals!

Our stay was pleasant. It was me and my 7 year old son and we had a good time. We got to spend time with the animals especially Thor which is the big white dog. If I had planned better we would have stayed 2 nights. We had a great host. There was an emergency horse situation going on when we arrived so please if you can’t come for the stay please donate!! It’s much needed for all the rescue animals. Goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys, horses, steer, chickens, rooster, Guinea fowls (which I just learned about) and more.

Absolutely LOVED staying here. The trailer was comfortable and just what we needed (AKA shower, shade, and a comfy bed!)
We loved getting to help feed the animals dinner and getting to meet them all/give them some scratches behind the ear (shout out to the mini donkey squad!) Thor the dog was such a sweetheart and watched over the trailer all night (paid him for the overtime with tummy rubs). Needless to say, we loved it here and recommend it to anyone rolling through town who loves animals - well worth the money, especially since it’s a non profit so your $$ goes to help run this amazing place and feed the animals. 10/10

Our family loved Ilana, her family, the farm, and the dogs! We came to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday, she is an animal lover, and really enjoyed helping take care of the horses and goats and sheep and chickens and ducks and peafowl, and you can’t forget the turkey! What an amazing adventure.
The RV is super comfortable and spacious, the four of us were comfortable and enjoyed the company of the gentle giant, the Great Pyrenees, Thor.
We leave with fond memories, beautiful eggs, and new friends that feel like family. We will be back soon!

The last few days we have had the most wonderful experience glamping in Llana’s trailer. The property is just beautiful and the trailer is really nice! We fell in love with Thor, the giant Great Pyrenees, he slept right outside our trailer and kept watch over us during our stay. His brother Rocky, the German Shepherd-husky mix is just as sweet and entertaining.
My 2 daughters and I enjoyed learning about each animal’s rescue story and so many interesting facts about them. The girls helped prepare the animal’s meals, groomed and brushed them and most importantly just gave them lots and lots of love.
Our favorite animals to brush and pet were Ferdie & Romeo, the giant steers, Teddy the sheep, all the goats, Jenny the mini donkey, Lily the turkey and both of the Dolly’s, one a llama the other a goat. I highly recommend spending a couple of days here and getting to know Llana the owner, she is truly an amazing person along with all of her rescued animal friends. This has truly been an unforgettable educational experience and we have already decided we will definitely be back! ❤️

I spent Thanksgiving 2022 there. I made the best choice to do that. ILANA was such a wonderful host, the animals are so sweet and the dogs filled my heart. The RV is immaculate. I expected less bc it is on a farm, but.. she proved me wrong. The bed was extremely cozy, linens were exceptional.

Ilana is a dream host and her animals are so sweet and fun to frolic with. She is inviting, yet doesn't hover. A fine line to walk, but she makes things look easy! The camper is stocked with dishes and blankets and netflix, all the creature comforts. I will definitely return!!

We absolutely loved our glamping experience at Ilana's 2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary! The RV was very big and perfectly accommodated our family of 5. The kids had an amazing time feeding the animals dinner, and getting to pet and walk with the animals! It was definitely an experience to remember, and we would love to return! Ilana was so nice and helpful, and was patient with our little kids when showing them how to feed the animals. We have already recommended the experience to friends, and will continue to recommend to anyone looking to book a fun family trip!
Our google maps took us to the house next door initially, but we fairly quickly realized it wasn't the right place, and discovered that there is actually a "2 the Rescue" sign outside the correct gate!

Llana is a wonderful host and it's very uplifting to experience her passion to rescue farm animals. It was our third visit with my daughter and her two sons. They are 1st and 3rd grade and they love going there to help feed the animals and harvest chicken eggs. We will definitely go back again.

2 The Rescue Animal Sanctuary is such a wonderful place, filled with genuine caring! I We stayed at 2 The Rescue last year for our daughter’s 3rd birthday weekend and she LOVED it! She loved it so much we came back again for her birthday this year! Miss Ilana made our daughter’s experience so wonderful again!!! The time she gets to spend and watch Miss Ilana care for the animals is priceless and then we stay in the RV and it is a lovely and fun RV! Thor, the coolest Dog ever always makes it beyond amazing! A truly unique and sincere experience that really models bringing kindness to this world!

We returned to our happiest place on earth, this time with the family, which brought many happy first experiences - camping at an animal sanctuary(!), the parents staying in the nicely appointed camper, my dad cuddling with a 3,500 lb steer (dear Ferdie)!, roasting strawberries with marshmallows while star gazing, spending quality time with Thor, and on and on and on. Ilana has truly created a sanctuary — and perhaps without intending to, making it a sanctuary for humans. This is where one comes to become better humans. Thank you, Ilana. Can’t wait to return!!!!
