We love animals, plants, art, and outdoor recreation and love sharing these things with people! We found the perfect little plot for all of these things we love. 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. So much to do! Also perfect to just relax, meditate, yoga, sleep...

It’s a beautiful space, even - or especially- after leaf fall. In a valley with a mix of woods, shrubs, and meadows, and some wooded hills. The barnyard has the noisiest, most active and spirited farm animals I’ve ever seen. Sometimes the horses roam the grounds freely and approach you for treats. At sunset, the hills of surrounding properties are glowing yellow. Jess has created random, whimsical spaces all over the property that make it feel like an enchanted fairy forest.

Weekend Trip to Windy Goat Acres
We booked a quick couples getaway to Windy Goats are were pleasantly surprised. The cabin had everything we could have needed and more - air fryer, hot plate, microwave, coffee maker + coffee, fridge, towels, comfy bed and a relaxing view.
We loved walking around and getting to see the animals in such a laid back vibe. At night we popped over to the garden bar to hand out and have a drink. What a magical setup.
We ordered the add on wafffles in the morning and they were delish! Plus a bit of fun to have it all brought to you to make in the morning.
Would recommend checking this gem out!

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 Llama Llama Sunrise Cabin is beautiful! It's very cozy and inviting. I was worried, unnecessarily, that I'd forget to pack things - Jess has the cabin stocked with everything you may need. The big windows were beautiful at night. You can see the stars from the bed. We enjoyed exploring the property and meeting the animals. It was a very peaceful experience with wine in the tub under the stars and coffee on the deck in the morning while watching the animals.

We loved our experience. It was nice to get away from the city and have a relaxing experience among the animals. We had a mule at the garden bar and enjoyed learning more about the property from one of the owners. There is fun art pieces around the property. We walked the trail and it was a nice hike. There was a fire pit outside our cabin where we grilled our dinner while having a beautiful view of the animals. Highly recommend checking out this unique property for a relaxing stay.

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!

Everything is so beautiful and serene. We stayed in the llama llama sunrise chalet and the name is exactly what you get. A beautiful small cabin with windows facing the sunrise, overlooking the llamas and all the other animals. We woke up to peacocks on our little porch every morning. Some nice friends to sit and share a coffee with. Jess and Jim were wonderful and talked with us about all the different animal friends and their stories. Couldn't recommend more. Or new favorite getaway.

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!
