Our main lodge was purpose built as a Bed and Breakfast in 2003. On 20 mountain viewed acres, it seemed ideal. In 2010 Gina & Darcy Marcell arrived with goats and chickens in tow. They set about re-imagining it as the Mountain Goat Lodge and Dairy Goat Farm. We added a new guest suite, a barn and chicken coop, two greenhouses, a commercial hot tub, a 1-mile hiking trail, 5 trailers and 2 tipis and a tipi bathhouse. The insides were updated with a gift shop, new bathrooms, kitchen, decor and furniture – all set to an animal friendly theme. Classes were set and cheesemaking became a huge hit – we use the milk from our small herd of Oberhasli Dairy Goats in our breakfasts and cheese classes. Unlike other vacation rentals in the area, the Mountain Goat Lodge operates as a Traditional Bed and Breakfast – with caring hosts that live on sight, and a farm fresh breakfast served to our lodge guests each morning.
