Lovely place to stay. Quiet and private. The animals were a bonus. The host leaves treats to give them which they love. Jill the donkey was my favorite since I love donkeys. Jennifer was a great host and introduced me to all the animals.

Great Experience

Russ and Jen are the perfect Hosts! We had our granddaughter with us, and they were so kind and allowed her to help with the feeding of the animals and taught her all about them! Jen was even nice enough to saddle up a horse and lead her around the property! If we ever have a need, we will definitely stay there again!

Girl Trip

Needed a fun place to stay for a Canton Trade Days shopping event. Being country girls @ heart, my sister, niece & I loved our visit here. The property is beautiful. The animals were adorable & friendly. Our hosts were available to educate us on caring & handling their animals. We will not hesitate to use this VRBO again for next year's girl trip!

Girls weekend

Excellent getaway location, close enough to all the immenities but far enough away to enjoy the country. Many items were supplied by host, we were happily surprised to have popcorn available for movie night while we watched it rain. I would highly recommend this cozy retreat.

Sanctuary

Loved the cabin, great for a girls weekend. Had everything we needed.But most of all, we LOVED all the animals and your work with them. Such a wonderful place for them to end up after hearing their stories. In just our short stay, we saw their personalities. Thanks so much for the bonus Friday night! We plan to return next year, hoping there is a Yeti/Pancake offspring. LOL

Rosie's Awesome Relaxing Animal Rescue Resort

Very clean and nice place. Jen obviously loves animals! Wish we had more time to visit with her family of pets, I admire how she gives all her animals a chance to be loved and it obviously shows when you are there, each one has there own story. Who's heart wouldn't be touched by their stories, mine was.Easy to find country setting with a view of the pond comfortable bed its just a nice place to go and relax we will definitlybe back!

Spiritual Retreat

We ladies absolutely loved and adored everything about this place. It was easy to find. Check in process was a breeze! The owners were very friendly and allowed us to help feed the animals and love in them. We loved the fact that so many of the animals were rescues. The location was very peaceful and quiet. People might think that because it’s by the animal enclosures, that it might smell…. Well it didn’t!! The owners kept everything VERY clean. I recommend this place for anybody wanting to just get away and relax. It’s definitely for a smaller group. We had 3 people and it was perfect.

Wonderful Location. Great Hosts. One of kind and a great find

East Texas is a great place for a weekend getaway or vacation. Make it even more special by staying at Rosie's Relaxing Ranch Retreat! From the moment we drove up you have friendly animals greeting you – right off the front porch. It’s also such a cute, comfortable cabin to stay at – its was perfect! Love having morning coffee on the front porch and having all of the animals nearby. Jenn & Russ are such Great Host – we also learned a lot. On top of that – it is perfectly located in middle of everything we wanted to see in east in East Texas. Caldwell Zoo (24 Min), Canton trade days (21 min), Texas Rose Horse Park – (19 min) *be sure and look at the calendar for the events. It is free and open to the public, Green Goat Winery (4min), Tyler Rose Garden (21 miles) , Historical Aviation museum (14min).And great dining options: Farmhouse Restaurant (9 miles), the Forge (9 miles), Boathouse in Athens (32 minutes) and every direction from Rosie’s Ranch is such a beautiful country drive.This is a top Bucket list location – you won’t want to leave.

Wonderful Ranch Cottage Retreat

We stayed during Spring Break and visited the Tyler Zoo, the artist shops in Edom, and several thrift & antique stores. Rosie's Retreat is in easy driving range of several little towns. We loved being greeted by Rosie & her friends each time we arrived at the cottage. Comfortable beds, nice walking shower, a full size kitchen, and plenty of space in the living area to relax. I enjoyed my morning tea on the patio with my crochet and Jill the Donkey and the kitties to chat with. The goats are always up to something and fun to watch. You can see the pasture with the bigger horses from the cottage. My daughter is special needs and Jen was fantastic with her while letting her help with feeding time. All of the animals have a rescue story and are living their best years being cared for by Jen & Russ. They provide treats you can give Rosie and her friends, and a little brush set. Brushing the minis is so relaxing. We would definitely stay again.

Jen and Russ are very courteous and helpful. We had a great time. The space was cozy, clean, and exactly what we expected. It was a great escape from our busy routine. We learned a great deal during the feeding time/tour of all the animals at the farm. The farm is beautiful, and all the great animals are within a few feet of the front porch. The pond is full of bass and perch. We built great memories and definitely recommend this place.
