The search is over – we’ve officially found the most unique place to stay in Colorado. It’s a kangaroo farm/”vacation rental zoo” in Golden, Colorado called Zoo Chateau, and during your stay, you’ll be able to learn about and interact with kangaroos, a zonkey (not a typo), horses, and more. This is an experience that animal-lovers can’t miss.

If you are interested in visiting for a stay, look forward to plenty of room in a lavish pad. This spot can hold 9 people in four bedrooms and comes with a giant-sized chessboard on the floor of the entry way. According to AirBnb, it starts at $350 per night, with 100% of recent guests giving the experience a 5-star rating at time of publishing.

Not wanting to rent overnight? You’re also able to make a reservation to visit the animals, including an option called the “ Kangaroo Experience.” This includes an hour-long meet-and-greet with red kangaroos during which you’ll have a chance to bottle-feed kangaroos and take pictures. You’ll also be taught a lot from the knowledgable on-site staff. It’s listed as $45 per person on their website, with openings listed each day at 12PM. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED.
