NEWTONVILLE LODGING FIELD GUIDE
The Alpaca SHEEPover: Sleep in a Bunkie Among Huacaya Alpacas and Babydoll Sheep
One night at Haute Goat Farm in Newtonville puts two guests in a weatherized Bunkie steps from paddocks of alpacas and Babydoll sheep with breakfast included—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
The Alpaca SHEEPover: Sleep in a Bunkie Among Huacaya Alpacas and Babydoll Sheep.
At Haute Goat Farm, the Alpaca SHEEPover places you literally in the paddock: a cozy, fully weatherized Bunkie for two, the quiet of Northumberland County, and the company of Huacaya alpacas and affectionate Babydoll sheep. The property’s animal rhythms and 200 acres of trails create a farm-night experience that’s part animal encounter, part simple rural retreat.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Close Encounters with Alpacas and Babydoll Sheep
Alpacas are shy and curious; Babydoll sheep are outgoing and affectionate—guests can expect soft fleece, face rubs, and the chance of a sheep wandering up to the Bunkie for a visit.
A Weatherized Bunkie in the Paddock
Accommodations include a queen bed and basic comforts in a small indoor seating space; the Bunkie sits steps from farm activity and an outdoor propane fire pit for evening quiet and sunsets over the paddocks.
Morning Barn Chores and a Farm Breakfast
Wake with the farm and join the 8AM barn chores—the operator notes these are the fun chores focused on goats—and enjoy the included breakfast to start the day.
What the day feels like
How the night flows
Check in after 3PM, take the afternoon to wander 200 acres of trails or try optional activities such as Disc Golf, settle into the Bunkie as dusk falls, warm yourself by an outdoor propane fire pit, and sleep to the low hum of nearby alpacas and the occasional visit from friendly Babydoll sheep. Rise with sunrise, and—if you choose—participate in the 8AM barn chores for a behind-the-scenes look at the goat barn.
