Welcome to Emerald Acres, our hobby farm with 2 llamas, Nigerian dwarf goats, 1 pot bellied pig, and a few chickens, cats, and Stella, the livestock guardian dog! Our beautiful peaceful property is just 20 minutes from SIUE. It is a wonderful countryside property with forest and pastureland.

Cute and fun animal surprise!
Tent · With kids ·
We absolutely loved this little place. They were so kind and accommodating for us. I got there later than expected and stayed one night, and I wasn’t sure where I needed to be, and they came out to guide me. It’s super easy to find the site but count on me to complicate anything. There dog was super friendly and they had 6 baby goats we fell in love with. We want to go back just to camp and spend time with all their animals. What a great little gem you have! Thanks for letting us stay on your land!

A Hidden Gem
4 m travel trailer · Group trip ·
A hidden gem (Emerald to be exact 😆), in southern Illinois. We had THE BEST time at emerald acres! Goats, baby goats, petunia the pig, Llamas and did I mention baby goats? The property is absolutely stunning, great walking paths, breath taking sunrises and sunsets. It truly felt like home. Amenities were clean and well cared for. Shower was hot and great pressure. Highly recommend stopping here. Monica stopped by to introduce herself and is super sweet! Last but not least you’ll have your very own guard dog named Stella. She loves to come and chill with you by the campfire. She’s also a great host as she leads you through the trials.

Great location & spot for relaxing stay while visiting our son. The animals & Stella dog were great (barked a lot during storm, but understandable). Hope to come back
