The Mountain Goat Lodge is set within 20 acres of rolling pastures at the foot of the famous Sawatch Mountain Range. Our resident goats roam the meadows, providing us with the milk, cheese, and yogurt for our tasty homecooked breakfasts and our cheese-making classes.
We are located in central Colorado in pristine wilderness, yet just 6 miles from the historic town of Salida. In addition to the tipis, we are a full service Bed and Breakfast lodge. We have campers and a vintage trailer available to rent.
The tipis have a full-sized bathhouse for use by our tipi guests. Guests need to provide their own toiletries and towels.
New in 2022: We have added a queen sized bed and mattress to each of the tipis.. Campers still should bring their own bedding (sleeping bags, pillows) or if need be, can rent bedding from us.
Mountain Goat Lodge offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, making it a delightful choice for those looking to experience the outdoors with a touch of luxury. Guests appreciate the friendly hosts and farm animals, including goats and chickens, which add a welcoming touch to the stay. The property is conveniently located near Salida, providing easy access to local attractions while maintaining a peaceful setting. However, some guests note its proximity to the highway can result in some noise, but overall, the lodge remains a favored spot for relaxation and exploration.
Very peaceful get away. Fun to wake up to the roosters and spend time with the goats. All of the animals are very friendly. Hosts are gracious in opening their space and making breakfast fresh from the farm. Tipis are a cool place to stay.
Mountain goat lodge was so quaint and was a great spot to camp, with some of the little luxuries of “glamping”.. The shared bathroom within a less than minute walk with a shower and toilet, as well as the lamp in the teepee and an outlet for a phone charger made the stay more comfortable than a traditional campsite. In July, an added sleeping bag and pillow was all that was needed with the bed provided in the teepee to stay warm and get a good nights sleep. The farm with the goats, cow, chickens, and roosters, as well as the friendly farm dog were an added bonus. Downtown salida was a short drive if you want to go into town for dinner, activities, shops.
It was in a quiet area not too far from Salida. You might get a kick out of being around ranch animals such as goats and chickens. The “Ranch Dog” Layla was especially friendly!
Gina and Darcy are amazing. Great place to stay. Next time I’m staying at the lodge. The tipi experience was great but I’m a one and done for different experiences. Best breakfast ever!!!!!
We loved our stay! Amazing views, great outdoor space, the property is fun to explore, and the hosts are so nice. Would definitely recommend for those who enjoy glamping!
Gina and D’Arcy are fabulous. The RV was fun and pretty much what you’d expect - would have been even better if I was under 6 ft, but it’s still fun, right? The cheese making class and general animal education was SO amazing, and we’d happily come back for more. It’s a little closer to the highway than I expected but it really turned into white noise for us. We’ll return for another round (at least) to spend with such wonderful hosts and fellow guests!
