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.

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.

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!

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. Thanks for being so gracious and welcoming, Paul and Deb.

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.
