You have to go into this experience knowing that you're staying overnight at a petting zoo. It will smell like farm animals and the accommodations are somewhat rustic. That being said, the hosts go above and beyond to make this a truly unique experience. They introduced us to their ostrich, showed us her freshly laid eggs, drilled open said eggs in front of us, then cooked an ostrich omelet in front of us while we enjoyed the company of other fellow travelers at the kitchen table. An added bonus was cuddling the puppies and kittens!
