A Unique Treasure
We had a wonderful experience at the Animal Sanctuary. The guest house is adorable and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the animals on site. The property owner is a dedicated host and everyone would love to find more time to visit the property again! Highly Recommend!

AMAZING stay on a farm in a city!!!
This vacation home exceeded our expectations by far! Absolutely superb clean designer house, where every detail has been polished and thought through (only on the last night we realized that the owner himself planned, designed, furnished, decorated, cleaned, and provided everything to it). It was beautiful! Reflecting the idea of staying on the farm, the house is animal-inspired, but it is not overwhelming at all! While the kids' bedroom is all about farm animals (bedding, pictures, books, games), the master suite is tastefully decorated in neutral nature colors and designed accordingly. The 3rd bedroom (grandparents, second couple, teens) is super comfy and beautiful. Plenty of extra pillows, bedding, sheets, yummy smelling shampoos, lotions and gels in both bathrooms. Everything is squeaky clean. Fully stocked kitchen with beautiful dishes, cups, glasses, not to mention treats for everyone in the kitchen upon arrival! And all this - is just the beginning, b/c when we woke up in the morning and went on a back deck - we were greeted by the most amazing animals! Farm animals galore - you will have llamas, horses, sheep, donkeys, ponies - right in front of you - all the time! It was SO relaxing and therapeutic to watch them frolic, eat and play. Both, kids and adults in our family, enjoyed watching and interacting with them so much! The house stands in a high-end community, and is a short walk to a nearby Shadow Montn. Check it out! Get to know the owner Jesse - one of a kind!

Clean Home & Convenient Location!
This home is perfect! The floor plan was nice. And we loved watching the animals in the "backyard". The location was convenient and easy to find.

Absolutely amazing!
If I could have given six or more stars, I would have! The guesthouse was spotless, and had every amenity you could ask for. Jesse, the host, was so nice and informative. The experience with all of the animals was above and beyond what I expected. I highly recommend!

True “Sanctuary in the City”
My fiance and I were looking for a “staycation” as a babymoon for our triple rainbow baby due in three weeks. This was the perfect option! The guest house is adorable and exceptionally clean. Jesse and his partner clearly put pride in their work and set up for their guests. We’ve already decided we will return after our daughter is born and she’s old enough to enjoy!

Amazing!
This is such a little treasure hidden in the city! You are still close to everything you need but you still feel like you snuck away. The hosts are AMAZING and so friendly and kind! We only stayed one night but we will return for sure. When you walk out the back, you are transported to a happy place. If you have kids, this place is full of games, arts and craft supplies, oh yeah- and animals!! Just say yes!

Second Visit to Happy Hooves, A “Sanctuary in the City”
This was my granddaughter’s 13th birthday present. We came last year and she absolutely loved Happy Hooves! The house located on the property is perfect for the whole family! It’s clean and has everything you need. Just outside your spacious patio you will see the Happy Hooves family of mini horses, mini donkeys, alpacas, horses, and many more animals. Jesse, the owner, will make you feel at home and part of their family. This is an experience you can’t miss!

Vote this rental best and most unique property!
Jesse is a wonderful and thoughtful host. The guest house was impeccably clean and the space was perfect for our reunion with our daughters. We enjoyed baseball games during the day and the girls couldn’t wait to get back to the house every evening to see the animals. The whole farm was just an amazing experience for us all!
