This was a fantastic hidden piece of heaven! Tucked in the bohemian hills! You get to see lots of nature and the animals on the farm! I definitely recommend the feeding cups and the goat social! So fun! The kids loved having fresh hot waffles made by me in the morning! Add the Belgian waffles to your stay it was delicious! I loved Staying in the queen armadillo yurt, I feel It was the best view looking down on the animals and the hills all around! Jessica was so sweet and answered so many questions we all had! She was very prompt on communicating via text! If full blown camping isn’t your favorite you must try the yurt! We went beginning of July it was super hot but the yurt has an air conditioner! It was very hot when we first arrived and got it running but promise it will cool off after a few hours while you explore! I will Add there is a running toilet you can use which is a nice option tucked way in back behind their living space (completely separate) still connected! Outdoor shower available if needed but we only stayed one night so didn’t need to use it! One last thing, which is so much fun is she will let some of the animals out of their pens, so you may be taking a stroll and a few horses or pigs may surprise you just around the tree bends! We will go again! Maybe in the fall to see what we like best for time of year!

This place was amazing. I heard from a friend what it was like but it exceeded my expectations! Every second we were there was magical and memory making. Jess is an amazing host and goes out of her way to make you feel so welcomed. We did the bubbles and waffles for my 4 year old grandson. He will remember this the rest of his life and wants to go back already. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

What a hidden gem! Jess's created a wonderful adventure for people of all ages. This was a short getaway for my granddaughter and me. We decided on the chalet which has a perfect view of the barnyard from slightly up the hill but short walk to interact with all her animals. We walked her trails, fed every critter (mama & baby goats, llamas, potbelly pigs, horses, rabbits, ducks) and enjoyed a lovely thunderstorm from the porch. Despite the rain, we were able to enjoy all she offers. I would highly recommend the waffle breakfast delivered to our chalet and the llama hike. No regrets and would love to visit again with my other family. Jess was very quick to communicate and flexible with our requests (added the llama hike last minute).

Loved the house. Car got stuck in the mud where you park for the Hobbit House and bathrooms were really far from the house. Other than that it was a great time.

Queen Armadillo's Yurt
We just finished our second visit and had a fun relaxing visit- even with pouring rain. We were snug and dry in the yurt. The kids enjoyed interacting with the farm animals. Our hosts are great people too!

The cabin was beautiful, with so many books and games! The shared outdoor shower was so relaxing, there was a rainbow circling me from the sun hitting the water, very magical. We could only stay one night, but we managed to see the animals in the morning. We were greeted by a massive peacock and a ton of kittens.

A truly magical place! Any one of the options to stay here seem enchanted. While we stayed at the hobbit house, we are seriously considering revisiting to try each option out. The ambiance was relaxing and pure. They have thought of everything to make your stay as peaceful as can be. Things like doggy bags (yes-dogs r welcome) and flashlights and umbrellas and walking sticks and so much more. My boys and I enjoyed walking the mowed grass paths with hidden gems along the way. Definitely gonna by a weekend as a gift for my daughter n her husband.

This was our third trip to Windy Goat Acres. This is such a special place and we look forward to our visit every year. Jess and Jim are so talented and every aspect is thought through for their guests. I really can't praise it enough!

We loved staying at the magical hobbit house on the hill of the farm. The decor, instruments, and a private fire pit was perfect. So much to explore, play, and loved the variety of animals on the property. The trails and around and to the sites were beautifully well done. Will be returning with more friends and family next time. Thank you for sharing a piece of the Iowa farm life with awesome accommodations!

We loved staying in the Queen Armadillo yurt. It was comfortable and spacious with plenty of room for the 5 of us to stay. I appreciated the kitchen set up stocked with coffee and dishes. The land is gorgeous and the animals were obviously loved and cared for. The roaming peacocks set a vibe for sure. We enjoyed the deck and used the large net/hammock the most. The bathroom is a walk down and up a hill so keep that in mind for your mobility but it was not a problem for us. We did the goat social and Belgian waffle breakfast bar as well.

We love Windy Goat Acres! Jessica was a fantastic host and helped to make our stay super memorable. We did a goat social to get up close and snuggly with baby goats and the big goats. Then later we did apple bits and bunny sits. My family loved every minute of it! All of the animals are so sweet. We can’t wait to come back! 10 out of 10 🙌

Beautiful property, loved the horses walking through and experiencing all the animals including the cat, Big Red! Best part of our trip to Iowa for sure. It is remote so make sure to bring your food with you. Highly recommend to anyone!

The yurt was nicely furnished and decorated. It was nice having the comforts of a hotel in a rustic setting. The yurt was larger than anticipated and had games and movies for in the evening. We had fun visiting and feeding the animals. The star gazing was fantastic. The hosts are great and so were the waffles, eggs and goat milk soap!

Such a wonderful stay! So many animals in such a picturesque setting. And the hosts were lovely.
We got to pet baby goats, feed the animals, and explore the grounds. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a great visit to Windy Goat Acres!! Friendly and helpful hosts, so many animals to watch and pet- both farm animals and kitties. ♥️ The baby goats and friendly pigs were also so sweet, and we had a great time feeding and walking the llamas around the property (thanks Jess!). So many fun surprises around the land and lots of opportunity for photos! We loved how close the tiny cabin was to both the animals, brick oven and shower/bathroom. While using the brick oven shortly after sunset, the cutest orange kitty popped out of the hobbit garden and hung out with us for about an hour and gave us lots of cuddles. ♥️ In the morning we received the waffle basket and were so impressed!! This was the perfect way to end our camping weekend and we will be recommending it to everyone we know. We hope to be back soon!

Our family enjoyed everything about our trip! The Hobbit house was such a magical feeling to it. My son is really into Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit that he was just enveloped in it all. All the little trails you can walk on the property through beautiful greenery and flowers was so calming. My personal favorite was the animals! The love that is taking into their care and the affection you can tell they all get. We did the goat social on our trip and how much each goat wanted your attention and pets was amazing! They are just like giving attention to our family dogs. Watching the Kids run and play was so entertaining! Not a place I ever expected to in Iowa but so glad we found it!

The castle was perfect for a weekend getaway for the two of us and our pup! The hosts were SO welcoming and we loved meeting all the animals. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, bedding, and so many interesting books. Next time we’d love to do more of the add-on activities too

We loved our time on the farm at the Hobbit House. The grounds were so fun to explore and the animals were so cute. The owners were so friendly. ORDER THE WAFFLE KIT! 😋

This place is magical. We felt right at home here and loved the relaxing feel and creative vibes. Communication was great, it was easy to find and everything was as advertised.
The one recommendation I'd have is to pack some earplugs as the peacocks talk into the night and the rooster crows at dawn.

My wife and I have stayed at everyone one of the available properties Jessica has and I really can’t decide my favorite!!! The Llama Chalet was magical!!! We waited until late- filled up the outdoor bathtub and took a bath under a full moon!!! I mean come on/ does it really get any better!!!!! They are very responsive to every little thing you need and so kind. Not to mention the animals- wow- I had never been that close to a peacock/ they were so friendly and walked right up to us!!!!! We cooked out in the fire pit and the EGGS-OMG-the BEST breakfast ever!!!! It is harder and harder to book with them- word has gotten out/ if you get a chance and a place is free for the weekend/ book it! Couples- family's- a solo retreat!!! You WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!! This place also makes a great gift for someone you love!!!!

We loved our stay!! It was truly a unique experience. My 4-year-old daughter had a blast with all the animals. We came on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet. We definitely plan to come back someday!

Lady Morphia's Castle on the Hill
My boyfriend and I brought our dog along with us for an amazing stay at Lady Morphia's Castle on the Hill. The animals, the land, the small and thoughtful touches throughout the cabin and the property are all the things that make this place so unique. We were so impressed with the books, games, DVDs, decorations, and activities available to us in the cabin. The owners were great to chat with and were happy to answer our many questions about the animals and the property. If you love animals, this is the place for you!

We loved staying on the hill in the hobbit house. The little touches of wonder in each corner of the hobbit house and the land were such a special touch. The views of the sunrise and sunset were beautiful. The farm is a magical getaway to unplug from the stressors of life. A little piece of heaven tucked in the bohemian hills of Iowa.
