We want you to feel completely at home during your stay. You'll have full privacy and exclusive access to the entire farmhouse and surrounding property. While the owners do reside on-site in a separate home, they’re available should you need anything.
The goats can be viewed from a distance, they are completely fenced in, you're welcome to visit them — just note they’re not located directly next to the home. They love to be pet through the fence, but please don't feed the goats, they have a special diet.

Our goal is to make your stay as comfortable, relaxing, and memorable as possible. Just let us know how we can help!
Other Details to Note Goat Farm Etiquette This is a working goat farm! While you're welcome to view the goats from a distance or say hello (with supervision), please do not enter any fenced animal areas or private home areas unless invited. For your safety and the animals’, no unsupervised interaction is allowed. Additionally, petting the goats through the fence is welcomed, but please do not open the gates or feed the goats, no matter what they say, they are on a special diet and we don't want them to run away.
