Windy Goat Acres is a biodiverse homestead set in the beautiful, rolling hills of the Bohemie Alps, just north of Highway 30. On the hillside, people can stay in 24′ yurts, cabins and even a hobbit house (earthen home). They have a friendly little farm sanctuary consisting of horses, goats, llamas, peacocks, potbelly pigs and more. Guests especially enjoy the animal interactions, and other special, a la carte add-ons that enhance the whole experience during their stay.
