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...

This is our second time staying here. We stood in the armadillo yurt and it was do beautiful and had everything you needed and more. We loved being able to bring our dog and enjoyed all the trails. We fed the animals. Loved hearing the Peacocks. We got the waffle bar and it was delicious. Such a neat place and the hosts are great. Will be back.

My husband and I LOVED our stay in the Hobbit hole! It was the perfect nature retreat and we felt super cozy despite the chilly December weather. The city had to cut the power at 8am the morning of our check-out, but Jess & Jim made sure we got our waffle kit by bringing a generator right to our door so we could power up the waffle iron. They are wonderful hosts who care deeply for their land, their animals, and those who come to get away. We can't wait to come back :)

Highly recommend!! As Tolkien fans this was super fun! A perfect one-night stopover on a Thanksgiving trip. The Hobbit House was very cute and cozy. We enjoyed walking the trails, sitting by a campfire viewing stars, and just relaxing. There is a teeny kitchen set up for simple food prep. We cooked soup for dinner in the microwave and brought our own coffee, tea, and muffins for breakfast.
*Be sure to note the bathroom situation - currently about 100 yards to a (very clean!) porta-potty and a couple min walk down hill to a fully plumbed bathroom. The shower is outdoors - walls but no roof. So, like a campground. So if that kind of set-up does not work for your own situation then this may not be a great fit. (We knew this going in and was fine for us.)
We would definitely consider staying again and enjoying one of the yurts or cabins if passing this way again.

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!

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.
