Learn about our huacaya alpacas, dairy goats, chickens, ducks and barn cats and chance wildlife sightings of deer, turkey, elk or black bear!

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!
