Goat House Farm Stay Little Coop

Goat House Farm is a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational farm. All profits go toward supporting the mission of the farm.

Come and de-stress by snuggling our goats. These bouncing bundles of joy are guaranteed to make you smile! We also have chickens, peacocks, honeybees, and even a pig. We are near Tallahassee but in a rural area, down a bumpy dirt road, but we promise the trip is worth it. Kayaking and hiking right off the property, plus beautiful sunsets on the lake.

Your own little coop includes a comfy double bed with quality linens, heat, and AC. It sleeps two only or maybe two and an infant/toddler. It is only eight by eight, so no room for more people. The lake is just a short hike from the door.

We provide water, wifi, and fresh fruits for the picking when in season. We also have several extras from the farm you can request when you book such as our famous farm fresh biscuits with honey butter, farm fresh bread, fudge, and goat milk soap.

We have a small outdoor kitchen area with grill, stove, utensils, and picnic table. Basic cooking ingredients are provided (oil, salt, pepper, etc) and you are welcome to pick fresh fruit when in season.

There is also a common room with sofas, fridge, microwave, tv, coffee, french presses, and tea kettle.

We have a small rustic bath house with shower and a composting toilet. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, and fresh towels provided.

Common areas and bath house is about 40 feet away.

Check-in/Check-out time may be flexible depending upon concurrent bookings! We ask that you clear your cabin by 11am, but you are welcome to spend the remainder of the day hanging out with the goats, kayaking, or just relaxing.

Dogs welcome, but are not allowed in the pasture. Dogs must be leashed. Please bring bags and clean up after your companion animals! We do charge a cleaning fee for pets in our coop.

Private and group goat yoga classes may be available during your stay.

Unless you are a return guest, please arrive before 7pm. Remember, there is an hour time difference if coming from the west. Late arrivals interfere with our milking and chore routine and we cannot stop milking to show you around. Farm folks also hit the hay pretty early! Please do not book and then tell us you will be arriving late. Thank you.


Things you should bring:

A Lantern

Refillable water bottles

Sunscreen if you plan to be out on the lake

Bug Spray

We are located at the end of a bumpy 3/4 mile dirt road off Highway 20/Blountstown Hwy on the lake. Part of the road is paved, but most is dirt and we are prone to flooding after more than a couple of days of hard rain. We have several cars in the neighborhood that don't have a problem on the road, but - full disclosure! If bumpy dirt roads bother you, our road in is not for you. We - and most of our guests - think it is worth it.

We offer a 10% discount for FFA, all goat and dairy association memberships, and 4H, just send your number when you book.

Feel free to message if you have questions! The herd looks forward to meeting you!!

Additional rules
Visiting the Farm
Our daily schedule revolves around your arrival. Please let us know when you have an ETA so we can be sure someone is here to greet you.
1. NUMBER ONE: Be respectful to the animals. They are always a priority here. Use caution around the goats. While they are friendly and we’ve never had a problem, they are horned and can be dangerous. Any abuse toward the animals, physical or verbal, will terminate your stay immediately.
2. Children are not allowed in the pasture or chicken coops without adult supervision.
3. Please use chemical products minimally. We are an organic farm and what you use eventually goes into the soil and the lake.
4. Keep all trash in a closed container. The wild critters will find it and make a mess. All recycling, with the exception of styrofoam should go in the green recycling can. Please do recycle. The well water is double filtered and perfectly safe to drink, so bottled water isn't necessary.
5. Do not litter on the farm, in fact if you happen to find any garbage please help us out and pick it up so the animals don’t eat it!
6. The refrigerator in the common room is a community fridge for campers and workcampers. Feel free to use it! Everything around the coffee pot and on the shelves is fair game too! Fridge is cleaned out on Wednesdays so if you have something there please mark it or let us know.
7. The gates to the pasture should ALWAYS be latched and looped. If one goat sees it open, he or she will call everyone else and they will make for the woods!
8. We strive for an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Try to keep electric consumption in mind, and turn off anything not in use.
9. Do not feed any of the animals without approval.
10. Campfires must never be left unattended.
11. DO NOT speed down the driveway. Sometimes goat kids get out and often chickens are hanging out along the way.
12. Dogs are not allowed in the pasture. NO EXCEPTIONS. EVER.
13. No smoking in barn, coops, manger, nursery, pasture, cabins, or in our tents.
14. If you have any issues at all, please let us know and we will make it right. Negative reviews are particularly difficult for hosts to recover from! We pride ourselves on offering a unique and comfortable camping experience and want you to be happy!
15. All tips go to our volunteer workcampers!

Coop Rules
1. Please do not leave food or eat in the coop. It may disappoint the ants, but they will host a party in the tent and it is difficult to get them to leave. And, they bite. Hard.
2. Please leave your used towels in the basket by the laundry machines in the common room. No need to strip the bed, we will take care of that.
3. Dispose of your trash and recycling in the proper receptacles by the fence.
4. Turn off light and AC and CLOSE door and all windows when you leave. It is Florida, it could rain in ten minutes through the sunshine and mosquitoes will move in.
