Such a cute little farm! We loved all the animals and Jessica was nice to chat with. We added on the waffle bar, eggs, soap, and cup of treats for the animals. All were well worth it!

Queen Armadillo yurt was magical! We arrived when it was dark and had a little trouble finding our spot since it was back a little farther but the owner helped us with directions. Once we walked into the yurt and turned on the lights, we were all so impressed with how warm and cozy it felt. We enjoyed the firepit and the super cool hammock net that is installed just outside the yurt. In the morning, we walked around the trails a little bit and then the waffle bar was delivered which was really fun. Feeding the animals was our favorite part. The ducks went absolutely bonkers for the grapes and made us light so hard. The horses and alpacas were total sweeties. One of our most favorite family getaways ever and we will come back to stay again this spring!

Weekend Trip to Windy Goat Acres
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!

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.

The entire trip was wonderful! The Queen Armadillo's Yurt was well supplied and very comfortable. We were thrilled to find so many hidden treasures of various artwork and activities as we explored the area. The goat social was a favorite as well as feeding the animals. Finding the horses freely wandering the farm throughout the day was so peaceful. This will definitely be an annual trip for us.

Everything was wonderful! We loved our cabin and the beautiful surroundings. I came with my two city children, 11 and 13, and they had the most wonderful time with all the animals. We opted for the extra rabbit and llama experiences, a cup of animal feed, and piggy popsicles. Jess was a wonderful host and responsive through text to any questions we had and for scheduling our experiences. Thank you for giving my city kids a magical farm experience!

Very fun way to Yurt in Iowa. We had the Auren Armadillo and our friends rented the Hobbit House. Great fire pits and loved having a sink in our Yurt.

My husband and I stayed at the mini cabin retreat! We loved how close it was to everything and it had an amazing view of the other cabins. We immersed ourselves in the whimsy across the property all weekend and cannot wait to go back.

The Queen Armadillo yurt was spacious, comfortable, clean and had what we needed. The hosts, Jim and Jes were helpful and accommodating. Even firewood was available to purchase for a late night hangout and s’mores. The property is beautiful with many walking/hiking trails.
It was great getting to visit with the many animals on the property.
We enjoyed the serene, green, sanctuary away from a busy city existence.

We had a great time staying here!
Was a little hot but the yurt does a good job of keeping you cool in between activities.
Hiking to the bathroom/shower was not that bad.
I did my showers in the evening with storm clouds rolling in, it was really quite the atmosphere.
I would definitely add in the goat social or another activity. All the animals are very friendly.

Weekend Trip to Windy Goat Acres
This was our 4th year staying at Windy Goat, first for our mini moon and every year since for our anniversary. While each structure on the property is charming in its own way, we always return to the same yurt for the consistency and extra space when we bring our dog and cat. Jess and Jim are awesome hosts, fascinating and creative people who really know how to create a fun atmosphere.
The animals and guest houses are amazing enough but they take it even further with little touches like options for fresh focaccia or waffle bar, delicious drinks at the garden bar with hammocks and string lights, and other points of whimsy all over the property.
This particular stay we accidentally didn’t book a second night and Jess was able to accommodate us in the cabin next door. While it would have been tough to sacrifice the space when booking- we were delighted to try out this new dwelling, enjoyed the closer proximity to the barn yard and better views out the windows and sliding patio door for the animals. Thanks for another amazing stay! We always look forward to coming back!

We absolutely loved Windy Goat Acres! We hope to return again so that we can stay longer. Feeding popsicles to Bentley the pig was a delight. And walking the grounds was lovely. Beautiful property we truly hope to experience again!

Weekend Trip to Windy Goat Acres
The views were beautiful. The owners were friendly and very knowledgeable. We loved staying in the Queen Armadillo's Yurt. There was plenty of open space and privacy and plenty to do as well. I loved hearing the goats bellowing and roosters crowing to wake us up. It was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back.
