About this property

Authentic Farm-Stay Experience!

Enjoy the peace of rural country living on our working alpaca farm near Kokomo, Indiana. With your stay you'll have complete privacy as a guest of our farm and exclusive access to our modern farmhouse, complete with free wi fi, flat screen smart TVs, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, gas-grill and even a Keurig coffee-maker. You will miss none of your modern-day amenities at this farmhouse located 1 hour north of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Not to take away from the old-fashioned charm built into this home, we invite you and your family to cozy up to the warmth of our gas fireplace in the living room, kick back in our rocking chairs on the giant West-facing front porch to watch the sunset, and explore over a hundred acres of farmland loaded with plenty of happy, free-ranging alpacas to entertain you. If you're so inclined, you may even partake in some farm activities with the local farmer - just step outside the front door and wander towards the barns.

We stayed here while in town for a Purdue graduation (about 50 minutes away) and had a wonderful experience. The house was incredibly welcoming and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of our favorite parts was enjoying the beautiful sunrise from the porch in the morning- such a peaceful way to start the day. The property itself was fun to walk around and explore. We especially loved the sweet cats and friendly dogs that added so much charm to the stay. The nearby towns had such a quaint, cozy atmosphere that made the trip even more enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend this property to others!

Charming Hoosier Farmhouse

We stayed at the alpaca farmhouse to celebrate the New Year with family. It was the perfect getaway that was close enough and far enough away from home to feel like a mini vacation. The scenery is beautiful and the farm animals are adorable. The hosts are very accommodating with great communication. Overall we give the rental 5/5. It was spacious, clean, and the WiFi was surprisingly fast. The teens in the group loved using the finished basement for hanging out and watching movies (we brought a portable projector). For next time, it would be helpful to supply some non-stick Teflon pans for the kitchen and probably a new Keurig maker in which guests are only allowed to use bottled/ filtered water. Thank you and Happy New Year!!

Great Experience while visiting relatives

I traveled with my husband, parents, and dogs up for a large family Christmas. This property was large enough for all 4 of us and it was very cozy. We enjoyed our nights by the fireplace watching Christmas movies. The alpacas were fun to watch running through the field and playing. And it was a blast getting to meet them!

Extremely enjoyable

Beautiful setting. It was fascinating watching and learning about the alpacas. Although we had no children with us, there is a lot for them to do. We would suggest you bring all the food supplies you need with you as it’s quite a trek to any grocery store. While in the area be sure to visit the Kokomo opalescent glass factory. Fascinating and historical. Thanks for a great experience
