Heartland Country Resort & Lodge

The night before our wedding and the wedding night, we stayed at Heartland Country Resort & Petting Zoo. The rooms are so private, cozy, and accommodating. We had a spa bathtub, cozy robes, a fireplace, and a kitchen. The breakfast in the morning was delicious!!! The communication between the owners and I was fabulous. But the best part? The animals and the petting zoo! The owners are so proud of their place and it shows completely in every little detail and how they want you to be a part of their farm when you stay. 5 stars!!! Can’t wait to go back! Perhaps for our anniversary!?

My husband and I had a peaceful, and relaxing weekend in the Harmony Suite. The suite is one of 3 in a log cabin. The interior was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and had all the thoughtful extra touches....microwave popcorn, DVDs, tissues, paper towels, nice toiletries, air freshener spray for the bathroom and fluffy white robes. The bed was comfy and the sheets luxurious. We both enjoyed the 2 person jetted jacuzzi tub and the shower was great, too with nice water pressure. We loved the 25 foot vaulted ceiling and coziness of the suits. Perfect little kitchen complete with all appliances including a dishwasher. We ordered the famous hearty country breakfast which was delicious and delivered right to our door! The property was beautiful with farm animals, peacocks, gazebo, pond, huge fire pit, BBQ grill, and walking paths. There's also a lodge on the property. Jim and Laurie are friendly and extra accommodating hosts. And our dog Chloe was welcome, too as this is a pet friendly cabin. We can't wait to come back soon!

We visited the Heartland Country Resort and Lodge for my husband’s birthday. What a relaxing and peaceful place this is! The owners Laurie and Jim are great people and make every effort to be sure that their guests are well taken care of. There is something for everyone here. There is a nice petting zoo for the kids (and adults too). There are nice parks in the area for nature enthusiasts all year round. The accommodations are perfect for just kicking back to relax. We ordered the breakfast and were more than happy. Everything was tasty, hot and delivered to our cabin door! We can’t say enough about this place! Go and find out for yourself what a gem this is! If the Lord is willing, we will be returning. Highly recommended.

Nestled between Mansfield and Columbus. A lovely, relaxing place to regroup, retreat or gather for party. We just needed place to get together with family. Super clean and spacious, we were able to stretch out yet be together. We brought fish gear and tried the fishing with grands in the little farm pond. Petted the critters and enjoyed the rolling countryside. We stayed in the Lodge. It was beautiful but because of the stairs, next time we will probably go for one of the suites. Did enjoy the feel of beds upstairs together. Reminded me of a family cabin when a kid...but exceptionally soft and cushy beds. Very nicely decorated. What can we say about the critters. They were cool! Well...exception... not a piggie fan. We had to talk to the grands about not running around the creatures, but the owners were very kind at showing the kids their animal friends. Very unique place to stay. Would recommend highly with 2 caveats: slow intro to critters. Older folks may need to discuss with owners any downstairs night accommodations available to be close to "facilities" and not have to negotiate stairs. Otherwise luxurious relaxing time in country. Kitchen is well-designed and equipped for big groups or just a family group, like ours. Very convenient to main highway so that mommies and daddies can make a short break-away and leave kiddies with gramma and gramps. Thank you Laurie and Jim!

We had a good time. Everything was clean and the chocolate covered strawberries were great. Everyone was very friendly including all the animals. We were able to pet the animals and I loved the fireplace

I was so impressed with my initial phone call - Laurie was prompt in responding to my travel needs and very accommodating for a short notice visit. We can't wait to see her paradise in person next week!
