We have a lovely piece of property to come enjoy a getaway at. We enjoy all of the peace and quiet around here. The night sky is unbeatable in my eyes. We have a small hobby farm with lots of very tame animals. We have 42 acres to roams with lots of trails within the woods that are filled with aged oak trees and many young maple trees. Our property is filled with lots of wild flowers and wildlife. We are locate 3 miles from the root river if you enjoy fishing or going for a float down the river. There are two caves in our area that are a must see while you are visiting. I you like to hike there is a state park 14 minutes from us that have many miles of hiking trails and horse trails. If you are more the small town strolling type of person we have lots of small towns around us that are filled with shops and lots of great food! There is a large system of bike trails in our area that make a very fun way to check out some of the small towns. If you have a family with kids we have a lot of fun activities you can do with your kids, like spending time with the goats, chickens and ducks, playing on our playground, or taking a nice walk through the woods looking for fossils!

Goat Glamour Camping Cabin
Cathy and her family were a wonderful host to us. The cabin (hand built by them!) is very comfortable and well/insulated. The forest surrounding the property is beautiful with lots of walking areas. Their kids showed us around the farm and it was so fun to watch how well they care for their animals. The goats were friendly and a highlight of the trip. We would love to visit again and recommend this location to anyone wanting a getaway camping experience.

This was a perfect weekend! The cabin was adorable, and smelled like cedar. We really appreciated the hammocks already all strung up at our site. The out house was close to the cabin, and very clean. And our young kids really liked playing on the playground and petting the goats and chickens. Would highly recommend camping here to anyone and may even make it back again ourselves.

Cathy and her family are amazing hosts and have a beautiful property. They were so welcoming to my family and made us feel at home. The cabin itself is so cozy, the loft bed was great, my daughter loved looking out over the woods from bed in the evening and morning. The wood stove kept the room warm throughout the night. Will definitely be staying again next time we need to get away for a quick weekend trip!

Goat Glamour Camping Cabin
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It’s tucked back in the woods behind there main place far enough that you can’t see or hear anything from their farm… really makes you feel like you are alone in the woods! It was about 30 degrees overnight but the wood stove kept the cabin comfortable. We also like the extra touch of already set up hammocks, and a hand built bench by the fire pit. Great option for “camping” during the fall or spring if you don’t want to face the cooler temps in a tent. Hiked 20 miles between Forestville state park and lake Louise state park which are both close to the cabin site.

Goat Glamour Camping Cabin
My family and I (2 adults, 3 and 8 year old) loved staying at the cabin on Cathy’s goat farm. We arrived on an unexpectedly cold and snowy spring weekend, and I was afraid we were in for a cold and wet weekend. Not the case! The cabin was toasty warm (Cathy was thoughtful to warm it up for us in advance) from both an indoor propane heater and an enclosed fireplace. With that and the duvets we brought, it was a cozy retreat. Bonus points for the games provided and helpful supply boxes in case we forgot any essentials! Cathy is a friendly and thoughtful host. Definitely get the eggs from the farm chickens and special handmade goat milk soap (the scents are SO good). She let us have our space, but was right there anytime we had a question or needed help. Our bonus hosts - Cathy’s three kids - were also so kind and friendly to my daughters, and they had a bunch of fun playing on the trampoline, playground and around the property. The definite highlight of the trip for all of us were the goats and other farm animals! My daughter got to hold a goat kid that had just been born hours before, which was truely magical. Being able to hang out in the field with a huge herd of goats, a few calves, chickens, friendly barn cats and dogs really made the trip special. All the animals were so friendly! We’ll definitely be returning!

The sites are well spread out and Cathy is a wonderful host who we got to meet in person - I really appreciated that! The water was a small stroll from our particular site, so bring necessary containers - but we had no issues :) The site felt roomy and we were lucky to get a weekend with perfect fall weather. Cathy is a good communicator, the goats were amazing, and I would return and recommend.

Goat Glamour Camping Cabin
We had such a fun time at the cabin! The wind was crazy and we were unable to have a fire but that was fine, there was plenty to do. We enjoyed the animals and the family who owns the farm is amazing. The kids showed my son and I around and they were very kind. The hosts answered all questions right away and were able to unblock a day so we could stay for the time we wanted. The trails on the land and the views were amazing!

Great spot for our teardrop camper! Quiet and private spot, and very good as a base for exploring local breweries, Forestville State Park as well as the Root River bike trail! Cathy is very welcoming and has great recommendations, which included, Karst Brewing in Fountain! 😋

This was a lovely place to camp in the woods with good privacy and spacing between the sites. Our site was near the edge of the woods near a cornfield. There was some traffic noise in the morning. Map was provided. Lots of trails for the kids to bike around on. The goats were fun and Cathy and family were kind and approachable.

Goat Glamour Camping Cabin
We absolutely LOVED our stay in the cabin! It was a perfect getaway for myself, my husband, and our senior dog. The cabin was such a cute and cozy space and it felt very private. Cathy was so kind to show us around the property and introduce us to their goats, too! We did some hiking and fishing nearby but one of the highlights of the trip was being surprised to walk out of the cabin and see the northern lights! We were at the right place at the right time. Overall, it was so peaceful to be tucked away in the woods for a few days. Thank you for sharing your lovely space with us, Cathy! 10/10 recommend staying here!

It was absolutely perfect! No complaints! Very clean, the cabin was made with love and and by someone who knew what they were doing. Very well thought out cabin and area altogether. The host was so very accommodating even though (shamefully) we were running about 4 hours behind!!! She was go very gracious, helpful, kind, and welcoming. We had everything we needed in the cabin and I would visit again in a heartbeat !

We had the best time staying here! The property is massive and private and so beautiful, I wish we had a couple more days! I recommend going when the nights are a little cooler, as the cabin can get a bit warm at night. But the cabin was even nicer than the pictures! Plus the goats were ADORABLE and I so appreciated the trust in us being able to pet them and enjoy them whenever we wanted :)

We loved our stay at Cathy’s! The space was very private, with lots of room. We stayed while going to the Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park. Cathy was a wonderful hostess, taking us back to the campsite and giving recommendations around the area. Our experience was great and so was watching the goats at the farm!
