My husband and I had an amazing stay on Paul and Deb’s property. It was such an incredible place to stay for our belated honeymoon/anniversary. It was our first time visiting Oregon and we had an unforgettable time thanks to them. They were so thoughtful and intentional with everything on the property. We had a fantastic time spending time with the alpacas, dogs, and cats and enjoyed our meet and greet with them. I highly recommend staying on the property and visiting silver falls state park if you enjoy outdoor activities.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Alpaca Farm Retreat. The host was very responsive and communicated well throughout our stay. One of the highlights was getting to watch the alpacas do their “spit test” on the day we arrived—it was definitely something we won’t forget!We were visiting Oregon for a family reunion, and it was especially nice that my 76-year-old sister-in-law enjoyed spending time visiting with the alpacas too. The peaceful setting made this a wonderful place to relax and spend time together. We would definitely stay here again.

Debora, Paul, and the whole alpaca bunch were amazing to stay with! The place is cute and spacious with every need you might have anticipated. They took the time to teach us about the Alpacas while we gave them treats and pet them. Would highly recommend staying with them if you get the chance!

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.
