The best thing is that ALL proceeds from your amazing stay help us care for the animals you're going to fall in love with, Rooterville is a nonprofit organization . Please be generous for them!
The place was clean, the animals were sweet, but absolutely NO PRIVACY because the host entered the place (door locked or unlocked and whether I was there or not with no to little notice) almost every day from 9 am to 8 pm to use the washer and dryer for herself and the other Airbnb laundry. The washer and dryer were listed as an amenity for the guest only. I was supposed to be there for a month, but left early due to the host not respecting my privacy even though I asked for it in person and in the chat on the app. Host walked completely into my place with no notice as I was on the phone with Airbnb safety. The wifi also repeatedly cut out for hours. The host was unresponsive when I asked her to fix it. I had to leave to another town to conduct my meetings. The back porch was usually covered in her drying laundry. The outside fire pit amenity disappeared without notice. I hope she fixes these situations for the next guests because the animal experiences were wonderful!
Elaine’s animal sanctuary is certainly a peaceful, magical place to get I tough with nature and animals. Upon arriving, we found Elaine doing extra cleaning for us as she felt it wasn’t up to her standards yet— we were able to walk around, enjoy all the beautiful & well- loved animals, and visit the gift shop. She even had a play structure, sand pile, and lots of toys for kids! That was a nice surprise. We were going to stay two nights but something in the house seemed to bother my little one & I— we can be sensitive to fragrances and chemicals so it might have been something along those lines. We opted to only stay one night but Elaine went above and beyond to make sure we had other options like a cow cuddle or another day at the farm to make up for it! The work and love Elaine has poured into her animal sanctuary is obvious from the moment you arrive. A truly unique air bnb stay 🐐🐴🐓🐖🐄
Amé compartir con los cerditos y poder pasear por la granja. Pasamos 2 días ( el primero lo pasamos en la granja y uno fuimos de excursión a san Agustín) y la verdad estuvo muy bien! Lo recomiendo
What a place to stay in the remote peaceful countryside with all the lovely animals! Never saw so many "free-ranged" pigs in different colors! Although the surroundings were more like a farm, the house we stayed is very clean, cozy and comfortable. Elaine is extremely helpful and we loved her cute gift shop where we bought feeding snacks for the cows and pigs. The next morning when we left, a pony followed us and we had a hard time to just leave. We were happy to stay and the only inconvenience is that the restaurant that is about 10 miles away and the instructions from the GPS gets confused from time to time. But Elaine gave a clear instruction and she is such a passionate host!
Typically this is a serene, quiet area. You can't see any neighbors from the house, so it is private. Every once in a while, a neighbor will shoot guns and we are near a military base so they blow things up occasionally, explosions are muffled. You can't hear much while indoors though.
We are in a rural area with the closest town with all the amenities is about 10 miles away. Cities like Jacksonville, Gainesville, High Springs, Ocala and St Augustine are about an hour's drive, a pleasant drive, btw. You will need a vehicle to get around. We can accommodate rental of our SUV if needed.
自我介绍
Hello there! Thank you for visiting my host profile! I'm originally from the Chicago area, where my favorite place is growing up on my aunt’s family farm. I guess the experience really stuck with me since I’ve been rescuing farm animals for almost 20 years and have founded a nonprofit called Rooterville Animal Sanctuary, where I live today. There's just something magical about experiencing Rooterville and spending time with our animals, seeing that they have personalities and preferences and deserve to be treated with kindness and not as a mere menu option My passion is creating an amazing experience for our guests and ensuring the animals get the care they need. I enjoy watching inspirational messages and learning new things that will help me become a better person. Gardening and beekeeping are my next favorite things in the world. As you can see, I'm in love with Rooterville, and I hope you fall in love with it too! Feel free to book or message me first; I am friendly, outgoing, and happy to answer any specific questions in advance. Experience Rooterville with me! Hope to host you soon!
