The room is a generous size and clean. I appreciated that it has laundry machines, very helpful for me as many places I stayed on this trip were without them. Comfortable bed. Busy street, be careful backing out :-)Instructions were clear and easy.

I am glad you were able to use the laundry! I am a little confused about backing out though since we are on a residential country road, have a sizeable parking area, and a long driveway. Maybe we had an event that day and the parking area was full :)

The only things that are different from the photos are the sunflowers are not in bloom, the comforter was a different color that day, and the pride flag is not in the photo. So must be one of those three. Thanks for your feedback.

We had a lovely stay at the goat farm. We had the bed and then the tatami mattress and wasn’t ideal for 2 adults and 2 tweens but we made do. The room itself was a decent size. If we didn’t have the kids it would have been perfect.

While the price was certainly great, it wasn’t at all the deal expected based on the reviews I read. I’ve waited a long time before writing this, as I wished to ensure my feelings and distaste for what occurred were not being affected by the moment. I wished to be fair and accurate. Yet, I find it important that others be aware of ALL possibilities before stepping onto the property. The host is very warm and welcoming. I loved her farm!ISSUES: No actual working porch/path light. Host continued to say was solar and say due to overcast day, leaving me with another night in blackness. Then became- “I stopped by…It works.” Only to find that she counted inside hallway light: inside a tiny window that did nothing to light up outside as good enough. There’s actual non-working bulb on the porch. I spent week trying to get the light. 2)

The stay was great and very close to places to eat. I have never seen goats so friendly! The dog was so sweet and protective of my 2 year old. The host was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed.

It was very clean on the inside the lady was lovely but, be prepared to stay at an actual farm. If you’re not ready to be in a farm environment this place isn’t for you. The goats were great and very sweet…Toby the farm dog was too cute!!! We enjoyed our stay

We are an actual farm and that is what we put in our listing. We are so sorry you lowered your review for that reason.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
We love to stay in off the beaten path but this was terrible. The mildew smell in the hallway was overwhelming. The cutting board was covered in mold. The a/c didn't cool the room down. The a/c had a pan over the sink to collect water dripping from the unit. I guess that was the reason for the mold. The outdoor kitchen wasn't usable. The room didn't have a microwave as advertised, you could use one in another building. We had roaches. Not a window in the room and the lights were not adequate. We left a day earlier than planned because it was terrible.

Thank you for the feedback. We were sorry to hear the stay did not meet your expectations, but we do want to clarify a few things for future guests. The item you referenced was not the cutting board; the cutting board is stored inside the cabinet. We inspected the space after checkout and did not find mildew. We are located in the forest, and especially after periods of rain, the property can sometimes have that naturally damp, musty woods smell. We also found the A/C set to “fan” rather than “cool” after checkout, which would explain why it was not cooling the room. The pan over the sink catches condensation from the unit during our very humid Florida weather. I’m not sure why the outdoor kitchen was not usable for you. There are two grills and a propane stove under the gazebo, and we checked them and they are operating properly. Our listing also does not advertise a microwave inside the room, although guests are welcome to use the microwave in the nearby staff room. We have professional pest control service monthly and have not had an ongoing issue with roaches. That said, we are in rural Florida surrounded by woods, so the occasional infamous Florida palmetto bug can certainly make an unwelcome appearance! We do appreciate the feedback about the lighting. This is the first time anyone has mentioned that the room felt too dark, and we will be adding additional lighting.

The place was just as advertised, a cute little cottage on a goat farm. We really enjoyed Melissa's fresh warm biscuits delivered to our door. The location was close enough to Tallahassee for us to enjoy the FSU win over Alabama 31-17. Go Noles!

We had great fun staying in the storm shelter, which was very quiet so you could sleep well and then playing with all the baby goats cats and Toby the dog. Chocolate chip sourdough cookies were delicious and warm out of the oven.

Sweet Goats!

We loved our stay at The Goat House. We spent some time with the goats and their guardian, Toby, before retiring to the cozy cabin. We found the cabin to be very comfortable and got a great night’s sleep. Thank you!

Peace and Quiet

This was a perfect stay for a man who was living rural remote for years before re-entering the big city life. Quiet, calm, Melissa is clear and communicative and prepares the place very clean and well inside. Peaceful sleep. The goats were hilarious.

Beautiful getaway spot

Melissa was a wonderful host. The property is the perfect spot to get away and enjoy the nature and beauty of north Florida. We got to spend time relaxing and had great time getting to know the goats, including the new borns. Toby was a great welcome party. Sweetest dog ever.
