There’s A Bed and Breakfast On This Llama Farm In Iowa And You Simply Have To Visit

If you’re looking for an amazing escape from daily life, you might consider spending a little quality time with AJ, Ollie, and Dash.

These friendly llamas – and their alpaca friend Simon – welcome travelers to an Iowa bed and breakfast that offers much more than a comfortable bed and clean linens. It provides guests the chance to experience a bit of life on a real llama farm.

The Prairie Patch Farm is a 50-acre nature preserve and wildlife refuge located between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. It’s the perfect place to unwind, do a little hiking, and visit with these amazing creatures. Here’s what you need to know.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

When you meet these creatures, you'll know this won't be an ordinary stay.

The space rented at the farm includes two bedrooms, a separate entrance and bathroom, a microwave, a refrigerator and pastoral views. The llamas are just a short walk away.

The llamas are very gentle and friendly and it's impossible not to get some great photos of these beautiful animals.

Simon the alpaca is a very curious fellow. Like llamas, alpacas come from South America. The animals are closely related. Alpacas are just a little smaller.

There's plenty of room to relax on the farm and on nice evenings you might be able to enjoy a campfire.

You also might want to bring a good book down to the pasture and relax as the llamas graze nearby.

There's a lot of prairie beauty to discover on this small farm, especially when the wildflowers are in bloom.

Hiking trails surround the farm that guests are welcome to use - with or without a llama in tow!

The countryside surrounding the Prairie Patch Farm is gorgeous. This view shows the farm's two back prairies.

The farm has two creeks, a frog pond, and a lot of birds and wildlife, so this place is perfect for nature lovers. Have you stayed at the Prairie Patch Farm? We would love to hear about your experience. Looking for more great places to stay in Iowa? Check out these 10 charming bed and breakfasts.
