Truly rural experience

It’s truly a rural experience. The host was very responsive to all questions, before and during my visit. She even offered to let me come out when the goat kids were being bottle fed. The Coop was clean, decorated just like a chicken coop, and had cold A/C. I added in the morning biscuits option which was a tasty treat as I got on the road.

This cozy, quiet cabin was the perfect retreat during our 3-day soccer tournament stay. It had everything we needed—comfy beds, a warm shower, and a peaceful setting that made it easy to relax at night. One of the best parts was getting to spend time with the goats—such sweet animals! We even got to see a newborn baby with her mom, which was such a special experience. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend this unique and charming spot!

Amazing experience!

Tent ·

We loved tent camping with the goats! We camped in the goat enclosure, and had a lot of fun keeping our stuff goat-proofed. We highly recommend ear plugs, as the roosters seem to think Dawn was every few minutes. But it was worth it! We really appreciated the community fridge that we could store some stuff in, and the community supplies (pots, pans, etc) in case you forgot something. The hostess was awesome. I even got to help with a baby goat delivery! Tell Fireball “hi” from me!

We loved this last minute camping experience. We were given the option to camp in the goat enclosure or coat to the bathroom and common space. Due to camping with kids and much rain forecasted, we opted to stay close to the bath house. As a working farm, the roosters kept the adults up, but the kiddos slept through the crowing and *loved* spending time with the goats and watching the chickens. We can't wait to return hopefully with clearer skies :)

This was really fun place to stay. I was in the “Little Coop” which was clean, cozy and convenient to the bathhouse. Basically, it is like camping without having to set up your tent! I enjoyed the goat and other animals on the farm. Melissa was a warm and welcoming host.

I was in town with my adult daughter for a football game. We stayed in the cottage. What a unique and fun place! A perfect rustic getaway if you love animals. The bed was super comfortable and the cottage had every convenience needed. I call it glamping but even better. We paid for biscuits and soap that we did not receive, but in all fairness we were not around much and I did not ask before we had to leave.. I considered it to be a donation to the farm. Roosters start crowing very early in the morning. And goats have a distinct smell. Not bad, just like goat haha. We had read that in other reviews and knew what to expect and did not mind at all (knowing we were staying on a working farm).. This place is not everyone’s cup of tea, but we loved staying here.

Getting in tune with nature

I thoroughly enjoyed myself! With a daughter In her third year at FSU I had had enough of college town. And staying At the goat Farm was perfect. Just a Short drive into town, then back to the peace and quiet of nature. I had a nice hike with Toby the farm dog. And we both got a beautiful sunset on the lake. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. And Melissa makes the best cookies ever.!

And we went back. Again!

Still our favorite hip camp! Melissa is the best and we learn new things about her goats every time we visit. The love she has for her animals is inspiring and her proximity to all the great food in Tallahassee is fabulous, especially if you love the woods. We call it the penthouse because it has all the things: flushing toilet, hot shower, comfy bed, French press for coffee, fridge and real freezer. Next door in the community space there's the microwave and the pick up spot for the yummy biscuits and honey butter. Highly recommend!

Can't go wrong being surrounded by goats. I loved how friendly they all were, unlike chaotic petting zoos. And there was the sweetest little dog that greeted us with smiles. They had hand made jams and jelly and other things to dip/eat with. Definitely a different fun experience. Only things to keep in mind, it is hot. So little too warm for eggs or goat milk/products. And you do have to walk a little ways to get to the cabin. Also, ad seems older so there's not all the cooking supplies anymore but still enough to make things work. Will definitely go back during cooler months.

Melissa & her goats are some of the coolest, friendliest mammals you'll ever meet! What a fun stay at a place that was ridiculously comfortable. For it being a fully functioning goat farm, Melissa has thought of EVERYTHING: from the towels, to many different coffee making options/supplies, to toiletries....She's an excellent host! Two of us did a night in the Rustic Cottage to scope it out for future stays with the whole family of 4 (including our son in a wheelchair). It's not 100% w/c accessible but comes pretty close! There are 2 step stones before you get to the front porch, 1 step onto the porch & another into the narrow hallway. One more step into the bathroom area. We just carried our son in, & lay him on the bed, & left the w/c outside. The AC felt heavenly, & cooled him off quick. There is a full sized bed and 1 full sized tatami mattress (Japanese floor mat) so we will bring our airbed when we come back. Cam loved the goats! Daddy was concerned they wouldn't approach him-They were all over him and his chair! It was cracking him and us up how they curiously explored his w/c. Camden was getting his tube feeding and one of the goats chewed through the tube, so we'll know for next time maybe pause his feeding while in their area. The goats were hilarious, charming & very entertaining. We'll be back when the weather is cooler, and Camden can enjoy them more without the heat and bugs (mosquitoes, gnats, occasional yellow fly). As for our experience, it was the G.O.A.T.!

The rustic cabin was very cozy and adorable. It has everything you need. I definitely recommend ordering Melissa's homemade biscuits with goat milk butter. Also, they have fresh homemade jam for sale in the common room. The goats, cats, and dog are friendly. It's a great escape and a beautiful place to be surrounded by nature.

I’m coining the term: Goamping!

Tent · With kids ·

This was our first time “Goamping (Goat Camping).” We had a great time and Melissa was a phenomenal host. We had lots of space to do as we pleased, but we were also welcome to watch the farmers work, ask questions, etc. and they always made us feel very welcome. Our three yr old and seven yr old learned a lot and gave the goats beaucoup hugs. In general, we used this as a home base for Wakulla Springs, and it was the perfect location for that.
