Luxury Covered Wagon, Rooterville Animal Sanctuary

Welcome to an unforgettable stay where country charm, modern comfort, and animal magic come together. Our luxury covered wagon offers a truly unique glamping experience set on a peaceful animal sanctuary, surrounded by forests, ponds, pastures, and some of the friendliest farm animals you’ll ever meet.

Inside the wagon, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing escape. Sink into an incredibly comfortable king bed dressed in premium linens, enjoy central heat and air conditioning, and refresh in your private bathroom with a hot shower. A thoughtfully equipped kitchenette includes a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and dining area, perfect for easy meals and morning coffee before a day of exploring the farm.

Step outside and take in serene pond views, twinkling fairy lights, and your private firepit with seating. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, stargazing, or simply enjoying the quiet, evenings here are pure magic. During the day, wander the property, relax in shared outdoor spaces, or watch wildlife pass by.

The heart of this experience is our animals. From pigs to mini horses, and especially our beloved fluffy Highland cows, each has their own personality and charm. Guests often say the time spent with the animals is both joyful and deeply calming. Optional Highland cow cuddle experiences are available and are truly unforgettable.

Perfect for couples, animal lovers, and anyone craving a slower pace, this covered wagon stay offers a rare chance to unplug, reconnect, and create meaningful memories. Every stay supports the care of rescued animals, making your getaway even more special.

Come experience the peace, warmth, and magic that make guests smile long after they leave.
