This place is just magical.
It’s the word that kept coming to mind when I was there… the property is very well loved as are the animals. Rick was friendly and helpful and I appreciated the breakfast I was brought I the morning :) The farm is tucked away off the road and it is so peaceful and lovely. The yurt is beautiful and so nicely decorated, plus they have some snacks and water they provide, as well providing towels and some toiletries. There was an “amish bath” (pitcher and bowl) even which is came to appreciate as the solar powered outside shower did not work … the firewood provided was appreciated and I enjoyed a fantastic fire while watching the stars which were incredible , as well as watched the twinkling of the fireflies all around me and listened to the orchestra that is nature… there were a number of sounds going on I had not heard before when camping or hiking. The song of all the creatures there was just amazing. The animals around the farm are very cute though the sheep was a bit intrusive and tried to steal my food multiple times lol.
One complaint i have is about the meals it says they offer… they looked delicious and I was excited to try the food. I asked for dinner earlier in the day as I was showing up at 6-7p. That was not mentioned in the listing or the welcoming message I received after booking. I then asked for lunch the next day & told again they needed 24 hrs notice. Even though it says on the menu lunch only needed to be ordered the morning of.

Hosts are super friendly and I learned a lot about the farm animals, got to see Carol, one of the sheep get sheared. We were nice and warm inside our clean tent in the treehouse, received cleaning wipes, both for our dishes and for ourselves. There was a little shower and lots of firewood to have toasty nights. Clear sky of stars could be seen laying down inside the tent with its transparent cover. Farm friends were great company, hanging with us during yoga, on the hammock, and especially when we were eating. Artsy trails with trees to climb and mirrors to take pictures in. Overall amazing experience and some beautiful hikes with waterfalls to visit nearby.

We loved our stay at the Mariaville Goat Farm. The yurt was super comfortable and well appointed. All the critters are amazing and adorable, My kids loved waking up and hanging out with the goats and the kids. The sheep kept us company by our campfire at night. Even our usually leashed Australian shepherd mix dog was able to use his innate skill in herding couple of times. We are all in love.

We had a fantastic visit! The Tree House was a magical place to stay. It is so cleverly constructed and beautifully decorated. There were so many thoughtful details in place to make sure visitors are comfortable.
We loved meeting Rick, the goats, bunnies, and sheep. It was fun to interact with such friendly goats. Rick patiently answered all of our questions about them and allowed us to enjoy their company.
We did not realize it when we booked, but homemade breakfast is included each morning. The spread included home made baked goods, warm hard-boiled eggs, home made apple cider, coffee, tea, fruit and Oui yogurt. Jam, butter, honey? Yes, included.
We would definitely like to come back to this peaceful place again soon. Rick and Ed are excellent hosts and we felt most welcome.

My sister and I had such an amazing experience staying at the yurt! Rick and Ed were outstanding hosts and readily available if we had any issues/questions. The yurt itself is super cozy, beautifully decorated, and well stocked. Breakfast was delicious and all of the animals were such a pleasure to meet. Highly recommend!

The hosts were beyond generous with their kindness, supplies, and giving us an amazing experience! The yurt is decorated beautifully, and takes on a stunning and cozy atmosphere at night. We loved making coffee and sitting next to the wood stove, decompressing from our jobs, chatting, and taking in the atmosphere. Meals were delicious, and included a lot of fresh food even in the dead of winter! The hosts were very encouraging to have us play with the goats, so we felt very welcome. The goats were so gentle with us. We were grateful to be able to nurse a baby goat, and even named him Tim Tam. Absolutely amazing hosts providing a unique experience. This truly was one of the coolest experiences we've ever had. We hope to be back!

My partner and I stayed in the treehouse and we absolutely loved it! Rick was an amazing host and made us feel right at home - from introducing us to all the animals to the lovely breakfast that was prepared for us in the morning. We loved getting to take the goats on a morning walk as well (they are all so friendly)! The treehouse was prepared with everything we needed and more, and we really enjoyed the level of thought and care that was put into our stay. We've already recommended this stay to many of our family/friends, and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay with lots of friendly goats!

Rick and Ed are wonderful hosts. Only positive things to say about our stay!
The tree house was a man made wonder, so well set up and thought out with everything we needed. The tent gave you the ability to set up the beds however you liked and was very comfortable. The upstairs deck was a lovely place to sit in the evening after the camp fire died down.
The complimentary breakfast basket was dropped off for us both mornings ready for when we woke up and filled with deliciousness.
The hardest thing about the stay was leaving the goats and the two sheep behind. They made the stay so enjoyable, very friendly and entertaining. We loved how freely they roamed around and came to see us.
Wish we had more time to take the goats on a trail walk as Rick offered, if we get to come back we definitely will.
Even though we were on a farm we had plenty of privacy but still very well taken care of.
10/10, highly recommend a stay here, thank you Rick and Ed!

From the moment we stepped onto the property, it was clear that our stay at the Mariaville Treehouse would be an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of nature, this gem of a hideaway was the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, providing an idyllic setting for a magical getaway.
One of the highlights of our stay was the absolutely delightful food. Every meal was a culinary journey. We were grateful for Rick's passion for good food and his dedication to providing an exceptional experience for his guests.
Our sons were absolutely enthralled with the friendly goats and sheep that roamed the property. These charming farm animals added a touch of whimsy and fun to our stay and were a big hit with our children.
This Treehouse experience was nothing short of incredible. Between the exquisite food, the fun with the farm animals, the comfort of the treehouse, and Rick's incomparable hospitality, it's safe to say our family left with hearts full of wonderful memories. We look forward to our next visit with eager anticipation.

My daughter and I came here as a special mom and daughter trip before she leaves for college. I cannot recommend it highly enough! We stayed in the yurt for one night. Upon arrival, Rick was there to greet us and show us the farm and the yurt. The yurt itself is amazing - beautiful, private, and well equipped with anything you might need. There were water bottles, snacks, fresh towels, games, candles, toothbrushes and toothpaste....etc. No detail was left out! The yurt has a nice little front porch and all of the animals come to greet you on the porch, which we truly loved. You also have the option of ordering dinner and lunch - we ordered the "American" dinner which Rick delivered in a cooler and picnic basket. It was delicious - a large burger, cheese, toppings, potato salad, macaroni salad, potato chips, apple turnovers, and water. Breakfast was delivered the next morning to our front porch and was just as amazing - warm freshly boiled eggs, cinnamon buns, yogurt, coffee and fruit. That morning my daughter and I did the goat yoga class which was so much fun! We can't wait to come back!

I brought my two teens to Ed’s farm and we had the best experience possible, considering the weather (regional flood event)! The treehouse yurt is amazing: beautifully crafted as well as engineered. The included breakfast exceeded expectations and was delightful. I hope to return in dry times.

What an outstanding experience! The hosts have created a truly special place here. Aside from being welcoming and thoughtful, they provided us with everything we needed for cooking, a campfire, and sleeping, including soft, cozy beds and a delicious breakfast. Our two kids felt right at home and the hosts added little touches to the space that made it fun for them (like a rope ladder and a pulley!) Goats and sheep joined us around our campfire and the kids were endlessly enthralled with them. The grounds are peppered with beautiful works of art. We can’t recommend it enough!

The property was beautiful and the treehouse was something out of a fairy tail. We had to leave super early and the host was extra accommodating by bringing us breakfast a few hours early. The goats were so friendly and playful and I miss them already! I can't say enough good things about this stay!

The tree house was awesome! They put so much heart into every detail - from the personalized welcome sign, fixings for a campfire (and s’mores!), a beautiful sleeping area, and delicious breakfast. Both the staff and the animals were super friendly and welcoming! What a terrific place to unplug… can’t wait to visit again.

When we arrived at Ed’s Mariaville Goat Farm, we were immediately greeted by two of the friendliest fluffiest Sheep and Rick. Rick is absolutely Amazing! Rick built the Treehouse Yurt and other natural art work throughout the property.
He gave us a quick overview of
what to expect during our stay
and introduced
us to three of the younger goats—then we didn’t have to see Rick until
he brought us breakfast the next morning.
We had so much fun walking around with our goats in the forest. We lounged around the farm is quite large. We enjoyed a nice hot campfire with s’mores all on-site:). Upstairs our Yurt was spacious and luxurious! We could see the STARS through the ceiling screen ✨
Will Definitely recommend a Stay at Ed & Rick’s
Mariaville Goat Farm🐐❤️💯

We loved our special weekend away. The yurt was awesome with everything we needed. Rick was an excellent host: providing breakfast and conversation about his animals. The goats were just the best! Little Kenny and Patch were some favorites. I lived relaxing and reading my book while the goats just came up and relaxed with me. Will definitely go back for more cuddles!

Me and my sisters stayed in the treehouse. Everything was wonderful! The bedding was nice and we were given more than enough supplies to make everything comfortable and convenient. The animals were absolutely precious and the hosts were very kind. In the morning the farm fresh breakfast basket was very tasty! I’d highly recommend ❤️🐐

I don’t think I could say enough about our treehouse stay. It was magical in every way possible. The off grid feel with amazing amenities. Seriously. The thought and care put into everything was beyond expectations. You will not regret staying here. Everything was very clean. Basically all you need to do is bring some food and show up. The fresh breakfast every morning was incredible too. The animals. The stars. The tree house. The sights around. I could go on.

Magical. We stayed in the treehouse and it was beautifully made and rain-tight, as there was a driving rainstorm the evening we arrived. The kitchen was tidy and well-stocked. My son loved the goats and they followed us around the property. There are trails and cool artwork around the property. Lanterns were available and breakfast was much appreciated. Would def stay again,

We loved the yurt. It was more than we had in mind. It was clean with everything we needed. The outside was very relaxing. Breakfast was delicious. We would recommend this for a romantic gateway.

What a cool experience! The treehouse yurt was amazing! Quite spacious and comfortable for my family of four. Sleeping under the stars was so peaceful and relaxing (until the roosters started crowing lol). The farm fresh breakfast and all the amenities and extras provided was a nice touch. Ed and everyone was friendly and helpful. But to the best part--the baby goats! They were so cute and friendly-like puppies following you and wanting pets and attention. They jump right on your back if you let them and my kids played with them from morning til night. We definitely want to come back and stay again and I would highly recommend Ed and his farm as a place to come visit and stay.
