Big Cat Bungalows at The Haven - Lion 4

A brand-new unique property located in Chittenango NY, that features 8 individual bungalows adjoining tiger and lion enclosures for an incredible up close experience. As you step into your bungalow you are met with floor-to-ceiling glass walls as the only barrier between you and our pride of lions or tiger duo. Regardless if you are lounging in front of the fireplace, resting in bed or making your morning coffee, you are only a step away from these magnificent animals.

Each bungalow has its own outdoor patio fully equipped with a fire pit & lounge chairs. Enjoy the open night sky after the cats head into their dens to sleep for the night. The modern interior boasts high-end appliances, fixtures and amenities making your stay a true luxury escape.

Spacious suites include 1 king bed and a futon bed.
All suites come with a fireplace and smart TV for relaxing evenings indoors.
Full kitchenettes with dishware and Keurig coffee stations.
Private bathrooms equipped with luxury amenities.
*NO PETS- For the safety of our resident animals, pets are not allowed on the premises under any circumstances. This includes any service animals as well.

Occupancy: Each bungalow has a strict accommodation maximum policy of 4 adults, or 2 adults and 3 children per bungalow.
Visitors: Friends or family visitors are allowed at an additional fee of $20 per person. Visitors are only permitted during the day/evening and cannot stay overnight unless they book their own bungalow.

Explore Beyond Your Doorstep:
The Haven Resort is located less than 5 minutes away from our award winning zoological facility, The Wild Animal Park, where you can meet the rest of our beloved animals. Housing over 400 different species and boasting award winning enclosures, a trip to the zoo would make a perfect addition to your getaway at The Haven.

We are located just 20 minutes from Syracuse NY where you can find an array of dining options to suit every palate and preference.

Important Information to Know Before Booking:
*It is important to understand that it is not guaranteed the animals will be visible at all times during your stay. They are wild animals and are free to roam about their enclosures as they please; the enclosures are designed to be visible from all 4 bungalows, but they are also built large enough to provide ample space for our animals which means they may be out of view if they are in front of other bungalows. Please note the animals are not here for guest entertainment but to allow our guests to get an up close view into their lives to witness their unique personalities, social dynamics, and behaviors. Our goal at The Haven is for our guests to form deeper connections with and appreciation for these beautiful species while creating unforgettable memories with their loved ones.
*There will be a damage deposit of $200 pre-authorized the morning of your reservation check-in date; this is just a hold and will be released upon confirming no damages after your stay.
*Payment processing fees are non-refundable and will be deducted from the total amount refunded for any cancellations.

This was an amazing overnight stay! So much better than we were expecting to enjoy it. The lions, all 4, were in front of our window for almost the entire stay, both in the afternoon/night and again in the morning before leaving. To have them lounging, playing, sleeping, grooming right in front of the window with literally your hand separating them from you by plexiglass is unforgettable. My 3 young adult children also agree this was worth the money to experience for a night. We also were able to see the tigers on the opposite side as we became friendly with another guest on that side and we allowed them to view the lions as well. It was a wonderful experience with even take out pizza and wings delivered right to the bungalow doorstep. Lastly, any streaming service you may have an subscription with is accessible and the gas fire place was the perfect ambience. Staff was great and I encourage anyone to book here. In another year this place will be even bigger and better as they are building on now. Come and experience this. You won't regret it.
