The house was fully functional and a comfortable space for ourselves or a larger family. What guests say: “We had a warm welcome at this wonderful Airbnb with a marvelous family that took us on a tour of their farm, their animals (horses, dogs, puppies, and chickens), and they picked fresh produce, which they shared with us. Paradise is a small, unincorporated town in Lancaster County and is surrounded by lots to see and do, including buggy rides, farm tours, museums, and more. Take a tour of the property, visit with the horses and chickens, and enjoy a breakfast of fresh eggs and homemade bread in the morning while listening to the clip-clop of horse hooves pulling buggies along the road. Courtesy AirbnbĪirbnb has vowed to not work with tour operators that offer elephant rides, big cat interactions or showcase animals performing for entertainment, as part of its vow to encourage responsible, ethical animal tourism.Experience a little bit of what life is like for Amish farmers at this bed and breakfast located on a working farm run by a large Amish family. You can get up-close to horses on several experiences around the world. Whether hiking with rescue dogs in LA, releasing macaws in Costa Rica or working with a horse-friendship coach in New Zealand, each experience has to be in line with the site's new animal welfare policy, created in collaboration with the World Animal Protection organisation.Īs part of the policy, no experience will give direct contact with wild animals and any working animal can only carry one rider, who should weight less than 20 per cent of the creature's own weight. With Airbnb Animal Experiences, locals and travellers are just a few clicks away from being alongside them in the real world.“

“Life is better with animals, but for many busy people, looking at them through a screen is the closest they can get. “With technology taking up so much of our lives, it’s easy to feel disconnected from nature and animals,” said Brian Chesky, chief executive and co-founder or Airbnb.
