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.

Camped at Goat Glamour Camping Cabin with kids, Sept 2026.

We had a family of 7, kids age range 2-14. Stayed in beautiful off grid cabin, kids loved taking turns in the loft. Very private and far removed from the family house. Beautiful trails and view of corn fields. Clean, nice outhouse setup. We didn't have mosquitoes, which i was surprised by. They allow you to go in the animal pen as you please and we all enjoyed the goats and chicks following behind their mamas...and we wanted to take the sweet calf home with us. This is a fantastic hip camp experience. We stayed just two nights but there are plenty of things to do in the area to extend the stay.
