Are you interested in lots of R & R with some peaceful hammock time? This is the place for you! Are you interested in starting a hobby farm or homestead? This is the place for you! Are you interested in learning a bit about goats, chickens, bees, or gardening? This is the place for you! Are you interested in biking & hiking? This is the place for you! Are you interested in stars & an endless night sky? This is the place for you! Are you interested in unplugging & just living... Are you interested in reliable cell service or wifi? This is not the place for you! Our wi-fi usually/sometimes works and most cell phones will work if you walk up the driveway and down the road a bit. Some people might think of that as a negative. We think of it as a positive! Your peace and entertainment can come from our massive book collection, our indoor games and puzzles, our outdoor games such as horseshoes, corn-hole, Bocce, badminton, or just swinging in the hammock and watching the chickens wander around. Are you interested in a pristine farm that looks like it could be a magazine? This is not the place for you! On certain days it looks amazing - other times not so much. It is awesome and fun but a work in progress (even after 20 years) and we usually have a ton of interesting projects going on. Do you want to always have all aspects of this farm available at ALL times? This is not the place for you! We have baby goats in Spring, fresh eggs available to you usually every day, at least one hive is usually available, fresh veggies usually May – October. However, is an organic farm, so we never quite know what to expect. Changes and new opportunities are always right around the corner! When you are asking about booking, I can let you know what is usually around at that time. If you are really hard-core there are always fun chores available to learn about (or help with) – mucking the barn (and composting), painting or fixing fences, chopping firewood, feeding and brushing the horse, goats, pig, dogs, planning garden, planting garden, weeding the garden, harvesting, canning, you can always put on a bee suit and check on the bees, etc. You can also bring a tent (or borrow ours) and use our 17 acres of woods and pastures as a campground. Camping on our property is amazing - the only decision you have to make is whether to stare into your campfire or stare up at the gorgeous starry sky. You can use the cottage for cooking and cleaning up.Are you interested in R & R with some peaceful hammock time? This is the place for you!

R & R at The Shaggy Goat Farm Stay

Natural Serenity

What a magical place! We loved everything about our stay at the Shaggy Goat Farm. Elizabeth and Eddie were kind, welcoming, and have put a lot of thought and effort into making folks feel comfortable. I would highly recommend a visit if you are interested in a relaxing, natural experience.

R & R at The Shaggy Goat Farm Stay

Welcoming, Relaxing, Educational!

The Shaggy Goat Retreat exceeded our expectations! Elizabeth showed us all around the farm and taught us so much. She is one of the warmest and genuine people I’ve crossed paths with. She encouraged us to explore the property and made us feel at home. The cottage itself is much more comfortable than we expected for a farm stay! I would go back just to explore the extensive book collection some more! My husband and I were thinking of starting our own farm and left Waleska feeling inspired and enlightened. Our 13 and 15 year old kiddos enjoyed playing in the pool and visiting with the animals. We all want to go back again!
