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...

Threshold Learning Center is 28 acres of prairie, creek, woods, and our barn dormitory. Threshold is first, an outdoor learning center for schools during the school year, and a summer camp offering several day camps, family camps, and trips. As a non-profit, however, we are constantly trying to find a way to offer our programs to everyone regardless of whether they are able to pay our fees while still making enough money to stay open. We started renting TLC to the public 5 years ago for weddings, reunions, or just families who are looking to connect to the world around them. Our motto is "No Child Left Inside" and we want every inner child to enjoy what we have at TLC. We have 7 bedrooms in our dormitory, 5 camp sites, a large camp fire ring, a mini-golf course, and we are always willing to lead your group in an educational experience or take you on a hayrack ride.

This secluded, beautiful, pet-friendly 40 acres of fenced camping site is on hilly land and is rare in Iowa, with a view of 3.5 private fishing ponds and a far view of the Red Rock Lake. There are 10 acres nature timber area that keep you away from the other campers and the rest of the world. Each site has a firepit, picnic table, and a solar light. The drinking water is at the entrance, but no electricity on. There are tons of natural features, you may see deer, rabbits, and other game birds by your campsite. Each camping sites have good distance to keep privacy from each other.
A recently built 20ft diameter geodesic glamping dome tent is for those who want a more climate-controlled stay while still enjoying the magnificent gifts.
For surrounding areas, the nearby White Breast Beach is open from May 23 to September 3, 2026, with boating, hunting, and hiking activities in Lake Red Rock. For our campers' safety, any hunting activities are not allowed within our camping ground. However, in case you come hunting with Iowa hunting tags, a couple of public hunting grounds are near our camping ground.
The recently built glamping geodesic Dome tent is located on top of a hill. You will have a fantastic sunset view of ponds and a lake view while enjoying the great nature and having a comfortable stay.
The cell phone signals are good from most providers; you may use your cell phone hotspot work remotely at this astonishing Lake Red Rock Oasis ^_^.
Hope you will find joy, peace, and happiness in this wonderful piece of natural land and the Red Rock Lake areas.
A little history of this land:
These 40 acres of land were a surface mining site. The reclamation works done
during the 1970s. But over the years, the soil was seriously eroded. Anna and Peilin, who have Master's and PhD in soil and environmental health backgrounds, bought this land several years ago and started to restore the vegetation. Now the site looks beautiful and ready for the nature lovers and campers to enjoy the fantastic view of the lake, ponds, hills, and tall grass, Butterflys... The site is totally different from what Google Maps shows now.

My family had a great time at Windy Goat Acres. Jessica was very friendly and accommodating. We love spending time feeding and watching the animals as well as exploring all of the little areas set up all over the property. We walked several of the trails and loved the view from the top of the hill. While I'm not personally fond of staying in cabins (this was a family gift), I would definitely go here again just for all of the experiences.

We stayed in the Hobbit House and it was a dream come true! It felt so warm, cozy, and inviting! We loved the experience of our add-ons (the goat social, waffle bar, and photoshoot)! The waffle bar is a MUST and we loved holding the baby goats! I wish we booked our stay a bit longer, but we’re excited to come back soon!

Weekend Trip to Windy Goat Acres
We loved staying at the Hobbit House and Windy Goat Acres! It was truly so relaxing and peaceful. A perfect place to reconnect with nature, play games, read a book, and enjoy the land/animals. We tacked on the Goat Social as an extra to our stay and it was incredible. We were able to pet the baby goats and be in the barn with other animals. Jessica & Jim were so kind and welcoming! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a calm weekend away!

We really enjoyed our stay at Pilgrim Heights! We originally booked the Pinn Oak Cabin/bunkhouse but it was unavailable. The staff were quick to respond and moved us to the oak Lodge, which honestly better suited our needs. We found the lodge to be spacious, clean, comfortable with a full kitchen, full bath, and even a little bunk house. The only thing that I have to say as constructive feedback is that there was a coffee pot and coffee filters, but no coffee. Also, one wall of the lodge is almost entirely windows and the window coverings are somewhat limited so when the sun came up a little after six, we were up with it. Still no complaints and we stopped for coffee locally after a well rested night. I would recommend to other others and we would definitely stay again. Although we didn’t get to enjoy the amenities, the grounds were beautiful with a large fire pit and a beautiful view of sportsman Lake.

We absolutely loved the hobbit house and the property. It was definitely rustic, but that's what made it so charming. At the end of my stay, I didn't want to leave and go back to the "real world", because it truly felt like a fairy tale there. Hopefully I get to visit again one day!

If you're looking for a break from everyday life, this is the place!
Jess & Jim are welcoming, accommodating and super helpful if you need something (like going out to get propane, swapping it out & coming in to start the fireplace- thanks again, Jim!)
Such a special spot & they make it feel like a "home away from home" - offering beautiful yurts & cabins, add-ons like dry firewood and a waffle bar (HIGHLY RECCOMEND!), a spacious farm filled with fun & quirky animals and hidden gems all throughout the property.
I can't put it into words just how grateful I am for Windy Goat Acres, Jess & Jim, and a spot where I can just breathe and rest my soul.
Until next time!❤️

The architecture itself is a marvel. Tucked into the rolling hillside, the house features that iconic round wooden door and deep-set porthole windows that frame the landscape like living paintings. Inside, the craftsmanship is stunning—curving stone walls, exposed cedar beams, and a fireplace that makes you want to brew tea and stay forever.

Our family loves staying at Windy Goat Acres! It's wonderful for kids and adults. I highly recommend Queen Armadillo's Yurt, the waffle basket add-on and walking up the trails behind the accommodations to view a breathtaking view of the rolling hills of Iowa. The hosts are accessible and very friendly.

This was way cooler than the pictures could convey. The scenery and the little hiking trails were amazing. there were little treasures to find around every corner. The only complaint is that I wish I waited until everything was green to really see this camp at full power.

This was our best spent spring break yet! My kids think I'm the best mom ever for finding this place. Our yurt overlooked almost the entire farm so it allowed us to feel safe letting the kids (7&10) roam a bit. A peacock & the minis were even comfortable coming up to our yurt to say hello.

My family just stayed at the Hobbit House, and even with an unexpected snowstorm, it was truly the most magical experience! The home is quaint, charming, and full of whimsical details that made our stay feel like something out of a storybook.
We especially loved spending time with the animals—feeding the bunnies was such a highlight for the kids! 🐰
Jess was an incredibly kind and welcoming host, which made everything even more special. We’re already looking forward to coming back in the summer to experience it all over again!
