About this property

Breathtaking Mountainside Farm Resort -10 min to VA TECH, 20 to Aquatic Center

A memorable stay awaits you at this beautiful mountain-side micro-resort, mini farm. The Wandering Goat Lodge located on Big Cedars Farm currently offers a 17,400 sq ft PRIVATE access lower apartment featuring stunning views, a relaxing retreat and farm adventures abound.
BONUS- we added a saltwater pool, we are multi-pet friendly and also have FIBER Internet! :)

Located 5 miles from Blacksburg, Virginia and 11 miles from Christiansburg Aquatic Center... Ellett Valley is a quaint, rural "Sunday-Drive" destination outside of town with generations of Farm-living, historic homesteads, stunning views and close access to the Appalachian Trail iconic hikes-- all in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

We are near the town of Blacksburg -- but just far enough to decompress and embrace breath-taking natural beauty. Seasonally & daily we encourage you to visit and take a walk, pet the animals and immerse yourself within the property's quiet spaces. This is a predominately family-owned valley and our farm is no exception. With a deep heritage of looking out for one another, it will probably be one of the safest places you ever stay -- and definitely one of the most beautiful.

Located along Mossy Spring Creek and overlooking Paris Mountain, The Wandering Goat Lodge at Big Cedars Farm is just 10 minutes from downtown Blacksburg & VA TECH Campus.

The WGL space sleeps 6 people and can accommodate more upon request. Bring your dogs and we even have a pen for them outside if you like. IF you have more guests, try our RETRO camper --the ROAM Inn- as an additional booking. We are told our farm is the perfect spot to be "near town" yet embrace all of nature and the beauty of the surrounding mountains. In the summer, young and old alike will enjoy the creek and in the cooler months, you can cozy up to our amazing bonfire--which offers a perfect backdrop for some memorable family photos. Try it, we believe you will love it and want to return.

Great property! The place was huge. Had a great kitchen, the bedrooms were spacious, and so was the living area. Many outside spaces to hang out and explore. A pool is in the works and should be finished soon. The highlight was being able to feed and pet the animals. The donkeys and goats were really sweet. Baby goats had just been born before we arrived. The owners were very lovely and helpful. Would love to stay again when visiting my son at VA Tech.

The host was extremely welcoming and very gracious. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. Interacting with all the animals was the highlight of our trip. The amenities were top-notch and the bed was the most comfortable ever. My wife loved the stream that ran through the property and holding the baby goats.

My family and I stayed while visiting the area for the holiday. The owners were super communicative about some upcoming work they had going on at the property, offering to adjust the schedule if it would interfere with our holiday (it didn't). We really enjoyed getting to go out and feed the goats!

So peaceful!

This place exceeded our expectations! From the goats to the creek to the spacious and well stocked rental, we couldn’t have chosen a better location. Being as dog friendly as it is made it even better. We loved the goat snuggles, ATV ride, and even bought shirts to remember our visit. It was so quiet and peaceful and the views were gorgeous! Warren and Sylvia were wonderful hosts and we will absolutely be back again in the future!

Amazing

My family and I stayed here while my sons attended a camp at VT. Everyone loved it. Needless to say, we'll be booking again with them next year. We slept like logs and even got to hold newborn baby goats! Warren and his family were extremely accomodating and all around good people. Also, you have beautiful view from the fronch porch for when you're relaxing. I would highly recommend.

A peaceful stay in the beautiful mountains

Wandering Goat Lodge was everything it promised. We hiked around, fed goats, enjoyed a beautiful view, and stayed comfortably. Lodge had two beautiful bedrooms, decorated with antiques, and a fold-out couch. We watched Star Trek every night on satellite (tv was not Smart tv). Kitchen was well-equiped, but there is NOT a dishwasher. The bathroom was super nice! Loved our stay and the hosts were very helpful and kind.

My family and I stayed at the Wandering Goat Lodge in June. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! If you are looking for tranquility and the beauty of nature, this is it! It was clean, beautifully decorated, and had more than enough room for my family. It was also close enough to town that you could make a quick trip in if you needed anything. If you're looking for a VRBO stay that offers a beautiful location, incredible mountain views, and an atmosphere of pure relaxation, look no further.
