We had an absolutely amazing stay at this cabin! The views were stunning from every window with rolling hills and beautiful landscapes. The goats were a wonderful highlight: we were lucky enough to see a mama goat give birth to three adorable babies during our visit! The cabin itself was spotless with super clean linens and the floors were pristine. Everything was just perfect. It had such a cozy, classic cabin vibe, and we loved the moose decoration over the fireplace. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. Highly recommend this place! Joshua was an incredible host, he was super responsive to all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He was so welcoming and just a genuinely great person to work with!

The goat house was perfect for our family winter vacation! We made many core memories at this cozy home. Joshua was very friendly and attentive and provided amazing suggestions on restaurants and activities to do in Burnsville and Asheville. We loved each and every one of the friendly goats! Thank you Goat House and Joshua!

Josh and Amy's G.O.A.T. Lodge in Burnsville, N.C. was THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! Seriously, what an awesome accessible location to be in the mountains of North Carolina. If you're looking for a cozy lodge-like atmosphere, this is it! We were able to take advantage of all of the adventures surrounding Burnsville. The town is like the town you wish Ashville was 30 years ago. It's local but has a lot to do. We went downtown and shopped around, spotted quilt squares on the quilt square trail, hiked a local waterfall, checked out Homeplace brewing and MORE. The GOAT Lodge itself is MAGNIFICENT. We fit 3 families comfortably. The amenities are awesome. #1 GOATS!!! #2 Hot Tub! #3 The fireplace in the living room+kitchen=cozy and warm! We were able to cook Thanksgiving dinner! Josh and Amy thought of everything! The beds were comfortable, coffee was delicious, washer+dryer=game changer, decor and furnishings were SPOT ON! Felt like we had a home away from home. Hope to visit AGAIN! THANKS!

This was my favorite place EVER in the mountains! So quiet and a beautiful home that was perfectly decorated. All the bedrooms had excellent bedding and tvs. They had everything we needed to stay for two whole days and never left the house. Next time we will stay for even longer. The hot tub was so fun and easy to work as well. The house was the cleanest house I’ve ever stayed in, and it smelled amazing. The goats enclosure was also clean, spacious and the goats were all happy and friendly! Josh and Amy replied to our messages so fast. We will be coming back next year.

Property was beautiful and just as pictured/described. Very peaceful and we felt right at home! The hosts really have put a lot of thought and care into the cabin. The details and decor were a really nice touch and made our experience and memories even more special. Very clean and felt safe on the property. Hosts were very responsive and helpful when needed. I would definitely come back!
