Come stay with us! Cuddle with the cows, rub pig bellies, feed treats to chickens, hang with the bunnies, and enjoy the scenery and recreation in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills of northern California (Grass Valley, California).

Animal Place’s picturesque Guest House offers a unique experience, reasonable rates and a chance to meet the amazing rescued animals who call Animal Place home. We host themed retreats, adult camps, and other educational experiences!

Animal Place’s Guest House (next door to the sanctuary) is 6.5 miles from downtown Grass Valley, 8 miles from Nevada City, and a short drive from the Yuba River, local, and state parks.

Want to bring a group? The Guest House is available to host your getaway with friends, reunion, or business/organization retreat. Let us help you plan an overnight, weekend, or even week-long stay that your group will never forget. We can accommodate groups of 6 to 12.

All guests have access to a shared fully equipped kitchen, parking, WiFi, television with DVD player, board games, cards, dominos, badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, and more. At this time we do not provide toiletries so please bring your own. (Out of respect for the animals, we ask that you bring cruelty-free and vegan soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and other necessities.)

Daily rentals include a free modified 30-minute guided tour where you will meet 1-2 species of animals. A private, 2-hour guided tour is available for an additional fee of $75 and includes meeting 4-6 species of animals. Please be sure to select the “full guided tour” option when booking your stay.
