A unique, safe and pleasant place to spend the night, hosted by very nice people. I loved meeting the animals and hope to return when I have more time.

I really thought the shower was so innovative and cute. I genuinely appreciate this family’s hospitality. It was so awesome being around all the wildlife and farm animals. I told them if my wwoof hosts don’t work out I’m coming back for sure.

RV Site, Exotic Animals
I’m afraid this was an unpleasant experience. I paid extra for a guided tour, which I did not receive. More worrying: animals were left out of their cages during a thunder storm. I hope they will take greater care of their future guests, and MUCH greater care of their current animals.

Cozy RV with Exotic Animals
We had a great time camping over at Grace Haven Homestead! The hosts were super friendly, helpful, and always on top of any needs that arose. The rv was clean and well stocked. The animals were so much fun to hang out with! There were many species to explore and all friendly. The land is beautiful and peaceful. We were far enough away from major cities that we still had a nice country quiet time but yet close enough to go to restaurants, beaches, museums, and shopping. We definitely want to go back. 10/10 recommend!

Primitive Camping w/ exotic animals
I literally had the best time of my life with my husband. The hosts are amazing and so hospitable. Definitely the kind of people you’d love to be friends with! The animals are absolutely precious and so well-mannered. Absolutely family friendly as well! The area is warm and welcoming, with really cool areas for group chats and activities. I would love to come back! The camping was lovely too, as the animals didn’t make much noise at night and it was easy to sleep. We slept in a tent, and found a great spot to stay. I’ll say it again, I loved my experience!! 100 out of 5 stars! ✨
