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.
