We have plenty of farms here in Colorado, but we’re willing to bet that the Centennial State is not the first place that comes to mind when you think of kangaroos. These unique animals are native to Australia, but you don’t have to travel around the world to see them. In fact, you don’t even have to go to a zoo. There’s an incredible kangaroo farm right here in Colorado that lets you get closer than ever for a wildlife experience unlike any other.
Please note, Zoo Chateau has permanently closed.
Zoo Chateau is a unique place in Golden that is a true hidden gem for any animal lover.

What makes it so special? Well, it’s actually a vacation rental, so you can rent the entire private zoo overnight and become the zookeeper during your stay!

This isn’t just a regular rental home either; it’s a luxurious chateau complete with four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and glamorous decor everywhere you look.

Ummm… can we just move here permanently?!
While the beautiful accommodations are enticing on their own, it’s the private zoo that really makes this rental one-of-a-kind.

Kangaroos aren’t the only animals that call this place home, but they’re certainly some of the coolest.

If you think viewing these unique animals at a zoo is fun, just wait until you get to bottle-feed the little joeys during your stay!

And don't worry - you'll have professional zookeepers around to help you out.

The health and safety of the animals is the top priority, so don't fret if you don't have any animal handling experience.
Along with the kangaroos, there are also beautiful horses...

…and even Zayn the zonkey!

A zonkey is a hybrid cross between a donkey and a zebra.
As both the gorgeous home and the private zoo are so unique, it should come as no surprise that a stay here isn’t cheap - but we think it’s worth every penny.
