Nature, art, animals, and lots of space! The hilly, lush land is also known as the Bohemie Alps and it's quite a beautiful area tucked away in Iowa. Visit with the llamas, goats, peacocks, potbelly pigs and the horses and hike around the property or stay in for a quiet stay with a good book and enjoy all the sights and sounds. Lots of extra 'add ons' to enhance the experience, like a waffle bar kit, smore's package, hikes, and more! Semi wooded property with hiking trails, hammocks, aerial silks, campfire pit. 5 mi away is Otter Creek Lake, a recreational park for fishing, kayaking, swimming, etc. We have 2 kayaks available.

We absolutely loved our time at Windy Goat Acres! Every corner of the property was enchanting and creative. Jim and Jessie were amazing hosts. Incredibly communicative and were eager to share their passion for their animals. We got to spend a lot of time interacting with the animals (goats, pigs, llama, emu, rabbits, horses, barn cats, peacocks, ducks and chickens) and they were all super friendly. Jim was an awesome bartender at the garden pop up bar. The tiny house was well equipped with all the essentials and nearby an indoor restroom. We can’t wait for our next stay!

Weekend Trip to Windy Goat Acres

Windy Goat Acres is such a cute and quaint farm. My friend and I stayed in the tiny cabin, although there are larger cabins and yurts available to rent. The tiny cabin was perfect for a quick weekend getaway for the two of us and my small dog. There is quite the variety of animals on the farm that made for a unique trip as well. The hosts were very nice, very responsive to texts, and gave us privacy.

Fun things to see and do everywhere. Little hidden gems around the property turned a simple walk into an adventure. Every square foot of this property has been given thought and purpose. The add-ons are clever and fun, don't miss out on this place for a weekend getaway.

We loved Lady Morphia’s! Cozy and comfortable space. Loved the fireplace& fire pit on a cool fall evening. Would’ve loved to stay longer to go through the great book collection in the loft bedroom. Morning coffee on the front porch with the Bohemia Alps views was a lovely way to start the day.

The perfect getaway with our baby! The cabin was very comfortable with wonderful amenities included. Thank goodness for the A/C since it was a warmer weekend than we expected it would be. Loved all the little extras like all the books and record player. It was awesome to get some farm fresh eggs and firewood delivered to our door. We would definitely love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Sunset Hills Bison Ranch & Lodging

We loved staying in the wagon — it was a dream come true. It was serene and you could tell this property is prayed over and seasoned in love and care. Everything was as described or BETTER! It was cozy and clean! We loved the two cats on the property and seeing the bison in the morning. The beds were very comfortable and the amenities are too numerous to detail. We went out of our way to stay here and it was WORTH IT! Thank you so much to our hosts for their hospitality, faith, patriotism, hard work, and care that is displayed even in their absence!

Great place and just as described/pictured, including utensils if you want to grill or cook over the fire pit. Sitting outside and watching the bison graze was a nice “activity” in of itself. If it were closer to us, we’d come for weekend stays :-)

A mi esposo y a mí nos encantó hospedarnos en la cabaña de Jessica. Es un lugar muy agradable, rodeado de naturaleza, la cabaña tenía todo lo necesario para estar cómodos y disfrutar de un fin de semana lindo. Definitivamente volvería. Nos encantó la hospitalidad y los waffles deliciosos! Muchas gracias.
