About this property

Woolly Acres Farm

Woolly Acres Farm is a small organic farm in Glastonbury, CT. We have a small flock of Navajo Churro sheep and a miniature donkey, which you are welcome to interact with. Please note that we no longer have alpacas on the farm.

Guests of the farm will stay in a completely private guest apartment with an open living and dining room, kitchen, and a large master bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The bedroom comfortably sleeps two and a full sized pull out couch in the living room can sleep up to two more.

The apartment has its own private entrance, but can also be accessed through a shared, enclosed porch, which separates the guest wing from the main farm house. The porch is where you will check in, and you are welcome to have use of this space throughout your stay.

Guests will have access to all outdoor areas, including the gardens, and stone patio overlooking the animal pasture. There is a large fire pit built into the patio and grills available for cooking dinners outside. Guests are free to feed the animals but we do ask that you not enter the animal enclosures unless accompanied by one of the owners.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful place for a Glastonbury visit. We absolutely loved our time here and only wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect from the historical charm of the farmhouse to the thoughtful breakfast spread. Already planning our next trip back!

A cozy gem

I am from the central CT area originally and typically need a multi-bedroom spot for my wife and toddler son. There isn’t much as far as choices in the area, but this place was great. It’s quiet, clean and cozy. Chris and his wife are great communicators and hosts - they met us to show us around and answer shy questions, and then let us enjoy our stay. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Chris was also nice enough to introduce us to his sheep, donkey and chickens in the morning, which my son absolutely loved. Can’t recommend enough. We are very likely to be back on our next visit.

Lovely Getaway Close to Conveniences

We were visiting family in the area and didn't want to burden them with house guests—Wooly Acres seemed like a good solution and we weren't disappointed! The space is cozy with a sizable bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room and we loved the historic charm of the decor—especially the interior wood shutters and latch doors. The grounds are also lovely. We wondered if there would be a strong "barn smell" in the heat—but there wasn't. And the sheep and donkey were friendly and adorable. Chris and Airika were wonderful hosts, going out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Chris greeted us and helped us with our luggage when we arrived and they had stocked the kitchen with breakfast items, including fresh eggs from their chickens. The property is less than 15 minutes from Glastonbury Center—so it was easy to take walks at the Riverfront Park in the morning and swing by Whole Foods for groceries. We are already talking about the next time we will visit!
