What a beautiful stay in the countryside. The Alpaca's were the main event of course, and we loved the fresh air, quiet nights, abundance of nature close by. It was truly a relaxing getaway where we could slow down, unwind and just be. Thanks to Paul and Deb for your hospitality and the Alpaca's for bringing such joy.

lots of dust under the chairs and table on the first floor, it was a nice place to stay and very quiet, they just need to clean all the dust under the charis and in the windows upstairs in the bedroom, otherwise, I would have given this place 5 stars.

Couldn't ask for better!

Deborah and Paul were lovely and gracious hosts and we very much enjoyed our time on the farm. We appreciated their great communication, thoughtful welcome goodies, and the informative tour of the farm to meet the alpacas. The space was more than adequate for our needs and was clean and well appointed. Highly recommended!

Always will stay here.

My husband and I have now stayed here 2 different times. Once in the winter and now in the summer, Paul and Deborah are very welcoming and extremely considerate. This trip was for a family reunion on my husband’s side, so we were extremely busy with that, in and out of the apartment both early and late. We will definitely be back. Thank you Paul and Deborah for your hospitality.

Beautiful property and wonderful hosts!

We spent the Fourth of July weekend here at this wonderful farm, and wish we didn’t have to go back to the real world. The accommodations are truly spectacular with the wonderful views of the surrounding farms. The alpacas and their guard dogs are beautiful and sweet. Our wonderful hosts took the time out of their day and were kind enough to show us the intricacies of running a sustainable farm. We don’t know the when, but we know we will be back. So if you get the chance and opportunity to stay here, do it, you won’t regret it.

Fun with Alpacas

Lovely stay in a pastoral setting. We came for my niece's birthday and it was perfect place. One of the sweetest parts of the visit, aside from the fresh bouquet of farm-raised dahlias, was a hen who would hang out with us when we relaxed outdoors. She quietly clucked to us as we had our wine in the evenings and drank our coffee in the mornings. As an extra wonderful bonus, we visited the alpacas which included two pregnant females and two babies, one only a week old. Our hosts were perfect.

Excellent! Agree with all reviews. Pros are remarkable. To search for cons, the barking farm dogs in the distance probably would close windows in the summer nights. Internet was 2MB/s. So ask about speed if you need it. Also bedroom is upstairs so if you can’t climb stairs…that’s a concern. Lastly, it is a full sized apartment so packing up takes time to make sure you don’t forget things. Close to Silver falls. So much better than camping :)

This was the best place to stay when visiting Oregon. The owners were kind and care for your needs. They supplied snacks, coffee, and more. You also get an amazing educational tour on alpacas which was great. I will come back and stay again whenever I get a chance.

We are so thoroughly satisfied with our alpaca stay! The hosts were so communicative and accommodating and made check-in, our alpaca experience, and check-out a breeze. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, and we were so grateful for such an accessible walk-in shower on the ground level with railings and a built-in seat. We learned so much about alpacas and will never forget the hands-on experience we got to have with them!

What a fun experience! The location was close to Silver Falls State Park. The accommodations were charming. Our hosts thought of everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Be sure to schedule time to meet the alpaca. They are very sociable. We were lucky enough to greet a four day old baby alpaca. If you are looking for a unique experience this is the way to go.

Had a great stay on the alpaca farm! We appreciated the adjustable bed, and the little touches like the snack basket and muffins. The kitchen was well-equipped, so we had everything we needed to make a home for a couple of days. Plus, our daughter loved loved LOVED feeding the alpacas and petting the dogs each morning.

Quiet country retreat

We had a very nice stay here among the beautiful country farm setting with a tour of the alpacas and their habitat . Paul gave us a nice visit with the alpacas and a very lot of information about how they are raised and taken care of . We got to feed them and pet their super soft coat of fiber (fur) . In the apartment , we had everything needed to cook in the full kitchen , a great shower , super comfy bed and a spacious living room . We plan to come again to this wonderful place .

Amazing property and people. They really love the animals and the alpaca are adorable. Got a great to see them up close. Everything in the home is alpaca themed, in a tasteful way and the home is lovely and cozy. The bed is very comfortable. They have everything you could need and really make it feel like you’re right at home. It is a quiet rural escape from town but close enough to the city if you need anything. I loved the time me and my husband spent there.

Yearly sister trip

We had a great stay at the alpaca farm retreat. It felt like a home away from home. The host Paul was available for questions and gave us a great tour of the farm. The area was a great location between lots of places to eat and explore. Feeding and seeing the alpacas were the highlight! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Deborah Nelson

Host profile image
We love the Willamette Valley and settled here about 5 years ago. We bought our first Alpacas in August of 2017 (5) and now we have a herd of 18 and growing. We live on the property, but interact with you as much or as little as you would like. We had a guest that stayed a week and it was a spiritual retreat and we only communicated via notes and let her totally rejuvenate on the property.

Why they chose this property

Our property is quiet with beautiful sunsets you can enjoy from the hammock swings in the Big Oak tree in the front of the unit or on the covered front porch. It is far enough away to relax in the country but you can easily (35 minute drive) get to rivers, hiking, wineries, antique shops and lovely small towns to shop and explore.

What makes this property unique

We have a lovely store on the property, and we sell Alpaca socks, hats, scarves, yarn and other fun alpaca related gifts or souvenirs. We will take you to the Barns and tell you all about Alpacas, with plenty of time for pictures and hand feeding the animals. We will light fire in the fire pit and even provide the makings for smores for a nice romantic evening. We provide, muffins, Coffee, cream, sugar, Oatmeal, Popcorn and snacks to enjoy in the unit.
