Destination Airbnb’s are always fun. When you have a place that is away from a traditional travel location, you’ll need something special to draw people to your space.

For some that could mean an isolated place by a lake or river. Perhaps your rental offers special amenities like a go-kart track. A place big enough to handle a large group for a reunion, or a business getaway. In Kampsville, Illinois, when you are in the middle of nowhere, how do you get people to visit? Animals.

At the Cabin at Kamaroo, you can get up close with animals you'll practically never encounter at other Airbnbs. Exotic animals aren’t something you typically get to interact with one-on-one, especially in southern Illinois.

The animals are waiting for your family visit

Stay at the Cabin at Kamaroo and you’ll have access to kangaroos (!!!), camels, ostriches, emus, and other animals including rabbits, sheep and goats. If you have kids who love animals, this stay will make memories and could be a springboard toward a lifetime passion. Or, help them realize up close exotic animal-interaction isn’t quite what they imagined. Either way, big picture positives.

The REAL Big Bird...!!!

Want a vacation where you can get away, but still not feel overstimulated from big crowds? You can’t stay at the zoo, but you can stay at the Cabin at Kamaroo.
