For the safety of both your animals and our donkeys, unauthorized pets are not allowed. We charge one $40 fee for your pet stay, as we triple clean afterwards. Our donkeys are protective by nature and may perceive unfamiliar animals as threats — which can result in serious harm. Because of this, we kindly ask that you let us know in advance if you’re bringing a pet. This allows us to: Activate protective electric fencing Be aware that a pet is on site Help you plan a safe and comfortable stay Please note: There is no closed gate at the front of the ranch — pets must be supervised at all times and never allowed to roam freely Do not leave pets unattended or uncrated in the cabin without checking with us first No pets on the bed, please Clorox wipes are provided in the cabin for easy cleanup of any accidents We truly love animals — and we want your visit (and theirs) to be a safe, happy one. Thanks for helping us care for them responsibly!
