Summer can be hot and know there is no A/C. 2 ceiling fans and 2 box fans provided. Open windows at night to let cool air in and close in the morning. Learn about our huacaya alpacas, dairy goats, chickens, ducks and barn cats and chance wildlife sightings of deer, turkey, elk or black bear! West Creek Rails to Trails abuts the farm and on clear nights experience dark skies stargazing from the deck. Unique off-the-grid stay exploring the wonders of the Pennsylvania Wilds. Expect farm noises (rooster might go off as early as 3:00 AM) and smells...

We had the most wonderful stay with Robin and the crew. We were lucky enough to help her milk one of her goats. The night’s were beautifully cool and beds were comfy. It was so peaceful just the break from busy suburban life we needed.

We had fun looking at stars, relaxing, and watching the alpacas. There were goats, chickens, and a cat named Loki. He was fed well.Everything was not very far away. The landscape was absolutely stunning. Beautiful time of year!
