Directions on Google took us directly to the farm. Upon arrival, Glenn came over and instructed us on where to park. Glenn and Carol were extremely hospitable and kind. He led us into the alpaca pen and showed us around. It was nice looking out our window and watching the alpacas. They're quiet animals and their guard dog, Abby us sycg a sweet dog. It was a wonderful experience, we would definitely go back to visit.

We had the best time here with the alpacas, Glenn, Carolyn and Abby! They were very gracious hosts! We got a very in depth tour and even got to help with the feeding in the morning before we left. Such a special stop!

It was my first time seeing alpacas. They are adorable!. The hosts shared their extensive knowledge of alpacas and gave us a tour. I bought some alpaca fiber to knit. It was also a quiet and peaceful place to overnight. Thanks to the hosts for sharing their farm with us.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Sawdust Alpacas. Glenn and Carolyn were great and provided awesome information about the alpacas. We were invited to help with the weighing and administering of supplements to the two babies that were on site during our visit. The fift ship on site had a nice variety of items for sale and we bought some cute Christmas gifts while we were there. Their guardian dog, Annie, does do her job overnight so earplugs might be considered. Maybe these can be an additional offering in the gift shop (made from alpaca fiber, of course)! Highly recommend this Harvest Host.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Glen walked us around and taught us about their whole operation which was wonderful because I hope to have fiber animals one day. Abby was the sweetest girl and the alpacas are adorable. Carolyn helped us in the store where we were able to find some some beautiful year, cozy socks and mittens. There is the option to hook up to power dor $10 which is great because it allowed me to use our electric heaters and make coffee. That's been my favorite place to stay so far."

This was our very first stay at a Harvest Host and it was so memorable. Sorry for the delay in the review but we were unable to post earlier. We are thrilled that we spent time here at their farm. Both hosts are generous and caring people. The farm is small but has plenty of room for RVs and has power and water available for a small fee. They have a store on premises and we destroyed our wallet there since there was so many different things to buy. Our favorite was a black and gray rug that was made at their farm. Glenn is so knowledgeable and takes a lot of time to educate guests on the alpacas and the workings of the farm. We took photographs of the alpacas since I am a photographer and we gave them lots a pics to use in their business. We even were honored that they spent time with use on their patio in the evening and shared stories and pics over a nice glass of wine. We hope to be back again and if you are thinking of staying here...do not miss the chance!

We immensely appreciated the opportunity to stay with our hosts Glenn and Carolyn! Hands down the best experience. We were able to stay a little late in the day to watch the birth of a new baby alpaca. Glenn and Carolyn were exceptional hosts! We were able to fit our 35' 5th wheel without any problems. Can't wait to see them and their 4 leggers (including Abie). Thank you....

Even if you have to go out of your way, go to Sawdust Alpacas. Glenn is so friendly and obviously loves his alpacas. He spent 2-3 hours with us talking about alpacas in general and about his specific animals. We were able to help him as he ground down one of the boy’s teeth. We were there in early November and he had seven recently born babies. One was only one week old. Caroline, Glenn’s wife was a wealth of information about the quality of the wool and she had a nice little store there with alpaca wool products for sale. This was our first Harvest Host experience. Glenn and Caroline set a high bar for any future stays for us.

Yes! Definitely stay here! We had stayed at another alpaca farm in Maine so I was hesitant to stay here but I’m so glad we did! Glenn welcomed us in even though I called the same day. He has a smooth, flat spot right between his home and the alpacas. It was so fun to wake up to alpacas staring at you. In the morning he invited our children into the yard to pet and feed the alpacas. He taught us a lot about the animals and showed my kids how he cuts their nails. You can tell that he thoroughly enjoys having the children on his farm. His wife Carolyn was very sweet. We purchased a few things from their small store. As we left they waved us off like family. Thank you so much for having us!

Hi Mr. Glenn and Mrs. Carolyn,
As promised, here's a link to the videos and pictures I took. Apologize for the delay.
We had such a wonderful time. Quinn loved all the animals and really enjoyed helping with the alpaca chores. He still talks about Thunder ??
Thank you again for letting us stay. I am sure we will be back for another visit!
Happy Holidays!

Glenn couldn’t have been more hospitable. The corrals were very well kept so no odors since Glenn is constantly working on it.We came away from our visit with a few pair of what are now my favorite socks and we’ll be back for more . . . Judy E., 11/20/2020
We’ve been on the road for about three weeks, and this was my favorite place we’ve stayed! We got to to tour the farm and meet all the alpacas. The hosts were super knowledgeable and so friendly. Plus— they had hookups and WiFi! . . . Molly W, 11/23/2020
