My family and I had a great time with Kristalyn & her goats and Alpacas, Coco & Whiskey! It was so much fun to get up close and personal with Coco. Whiskey was shy but quite photogenic. The area is beautiful and the gift bag of hemp products was such a nice ending to the morning experience. Kristalyn was very easy to communicate with and she responded quickly to any questions or concerns. She was very informative and genuine. I would recommend this experience for anyone , young or old! SidneyJuly 2021
Kristalyn was very informative, and all of the animals were adorable. The property is a great secluded area for a hike with some amazing views AshleyMay 2021
Great experience! We had fun meeting Choco, Pie, Bella, etc. (even Whiskey) :) Having access to the property for a nice hike/walk on the trails was an added bonus. I would recommend this for those in the Asheville area. Mary (Cassie)May 2021
My friend Ashley and I had a great time visiting with Kristalyn and all her sweet animal friends. It was really fun to see all the different personalities each animal had and to learn a bit about their care. The property was beautiful and the drive from Asheville was easy and really pleasant. Kristalyn recommended we stop in Weaverville for lunch which was also lovely. This would be a great activity for families as it was early morning and only a couple hours. JeannineMay 2021
This experience was absolutely amazing! The fact that it was just us 2 doing the tour made it so personal. I'm obsessed with Alpacas and Llamas and this was the best way to finally get up close and personal with one. I got to feed, walk and run with Choco! Kristalyn was very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves what she does. We got to go on a self guided tour through her back yard forest which was breath taking! MeganMay 2021
My husband and I had such a great time! Kristalyn is incredibly knowledgeable, and the animals were so cute! I highly recommend this activity for those visiting the area. AdamMay 2021
This adventure was a blast. Kristalyn was a wonderful host and was very friendly and informative about the alpacas and goats. The hike had wonderful views of the blue ridge mountains and the place was easy to find from the directions given. The alpacas were so much fun to pet, learn about, and walk around with. Thank you for such a great visit! JustinMay 2021
My husband and I had an amazing time. Kristalyn was great to work with and she was quick to respond to messages. Her animals are friendly and we learned so much about them. We are planning to come back soon with our son. AutumnMay 2021
The land is beautiful and Kristalyn was so sweet. It was interesting to learn about the animals and her processes from start to finish. The hike at the end had incredible views. Definitely a little steep in some areas, but worth it. We think it would be best to come back and stay in one of the two tiny houses in property! JustinMay 2021
The property is absolutely stunning and Kristalyn was an amazing host. We will definitely come back if we are in the area again! JanelApril 2021
We enjoyed our time here! Kristalyn was a great host, very kind, knowledgeable, and we enjoyed the conversation and of course Chaco and Whiskey and all the goats! HannahApril 2021
Visiting Kristalyn's homestead was one of the highlights of our trip to Asheville. We loved hanging out with the alpacas and goats and learning more about them. Her property is stunning! There are some great spot to sit and enjoy the view! Looking forward to trying out the hemp products. A very memorable experience - highly recommend! ChristopherApril 2021
An absolute delight. My wife and 2 daughters (10 and 7) joined me on this fun and educational experience. The setting is spectacular and the animals are as funky as you’d expect. Kristalyn and her partner are amazing hosts, making us feel welcome and encouraging us to spend time on their beautiful homestead. As good as any view you’ll find and a delightful little hike with a zip line, a slack line, and even some bean bag tossing. Be sure to try to run from the old barn up to the large fire pit. If you’re anywhere near this, take the 2 hours and enjoy JennApril 2021
Awesome experience! Love the Homestead property and Kristalyn has such a sweet, happy spirit! The Alpacas and Goats are such funny and cute animals, we enjoyed learning about them. The hike was so beautiful they have a lookout deck, hammock, and slack line along the way. The hemp gifts were a major bonus! Used the salve as soon as we got home! Thanks for an awesome experience!! JuanMarch 2021
Excellent experience! Kristalyn was so nice and easy to talk to. Her property is absolutely stunning. We loved walking around her property on the trails and seeing the beautiful views. Her goats and alpacas were fun to hang out with and have us some great pictures. Overall, excellent experience and a great host! MariaMarch 2021
Fantastic experience! Highly recommend, we loved hanging out with the animals and with Kristalyn, she was amazing! Super knowledgeable and nice, enjoyed the experience very much! The animals are beautiful RayFebruary 2021
My family and I enjoyed this experience greatly. Our vacation was in Asheville, we stayed at the high rise apartment where everything was walking distance. The only place we drove to was Marshall NC to visit with Kristalyn and her animals. It was well worth it, beautiful town, beautiful views, Kristalyn is a wonderful person and treats her animals like family TolisaFebruary 2021
This experience was much more than we expected. We had lots of fun! Their are so many things to do, things to see, things to play on, and you will leave over satisfied with this experience. The host was very professional and you can tell she spends a lot of time with her animals. They look well taken care of and feed good. OMG! Let's not forget you can take amazing photos! Put on your boots and book this experience asap! Thank you Kristalyn for being a great host and giving us an awesome experience. :) JorgeFebruary 2021
This experience was transcending. Kristalyn creates a fantasy from the beginning with her majestic alpacas and goats to the end with a stunning and interactive hike. I learned so much and witnessed some breathtaking views, and at some point we were even gifted some hemp goodies. A safe space and kind environment. Thank you for making my time with my boyfriend a fairy tale. NicoleFebruary 2021
What a lovely place with beautiful views and super sweet animals! Totally worth checking out! Kristalyn is a lovely host and told us all about the property! It was esp dun do us as we plan on homesteading in the next few years! Trailing through the woods made me feel like a kid again! Thank you so much💖🍃 JimmyFebruary 2021
A truly special experience. The setting is only topped by Kristalyn’s hospitality. The animals were wonderful. Such great personalities. The hemp gift was so much more than I expected. Kristalyn’s artistry is reflected in each product. I look forward to coming back and staying on the property. If you want to get away from the standard Asheville touristy experiences, this is a must do. WillJanuary 2021
This was so wonderful! It was a gorgeous drive from our air bnb in Asheville. When we arrived, Kristalyn made us feel very welcomed and introduced us to the alpacas and goats, which was a blast. Overall, it was a great value and extremely memorable event for my wife and I. JessicaJanuary 2021
Took my best friend for her birthday, it was 3 couples and we all enjoyed every minute of it! Kristalyn was extremely flexible in allowing us to change the time of our visit due to the weather and issues with our vehicle. She provided very detailed descriptions in finding the location and was just so kind and patient with us the throughout! The animals were all very friendly and Kristalyn allowed us each (a group of 6) the time to spend time with the alpacas and the goats. The views on the trail were absolutely breathtaking and again she allowed us the time to hike the trail at our leisure and enjoy the views! I highly highlyyyy recommend visiting Kristalyn and her animal friends if you’re in the area! I’m already dying to return! EmilyJanuary 2021
We really enjoyed Kristalyn’s introduction to the alpacas and goats and the time we got to spend with them. They are very well cared for and loved. ❤️ After the animal experience, my partner and I took a great hike on the paths on her property. After that, Kristalyn gave us fabulous little gift bags of her CBD products she makes on the farm. A fabulous experience for a great price. Would definitely do again! TonyJanuary 2021
If this experience is open, BOOK NOW!! Kristalyn, a very friendly and knowledgeable host provided a memorable experience showing us cool alpacas and goats and insane views on her hiking trail. I would recommend this to anyone that loves animals and picture perfect scenery. JaymeAugust 2021
Such a wonderful host. Animals were so sweet and scenery was beautiful. LuisaMay 2021
It was incredible. Kristalyn was very informative and accommodating with our schedule. The location was BEAUTIFUL. super friendly hosts and animals ♥️ LilyJanuary 2021
Super friendly hosts and animals! Lovely experience and amazing value
AlexisMarch 2020
The hike exceeded our expectations! Chaco and Chloe were so charming! The area is absolutely breathtaking and Kristalyn was extremely welcoming! It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone! MalorieDecember 2019
We had a great trip going hiking with the alpaca! Kristalyn was so friendly and nice, she knew what she was talking about during the hike. We enjoyed Chloe & Chaco such cute animals (don't pet the alpacas lol) overall, a once in a lifetime experience ☺️ hope she sells some knick knacks on the way out sometime hehehe EmilyDecember 2019
This experience was wonderful! Kristalyn kept me up to date on weather and had great communication before the experience. She personally greeted us and my guest and I had a great time. One on one time with the animals and getting to feed and pet them was just such a wonderful experience. JulieNovember 2019
We absolutely loved walking Kristalyn’s sweet alpaca and goat the first time, so we came back again and brought more family members with us so that they too could experience the fun. Kristalyn is a great host and made us feel very welcome and comfortable both times! I highly recommend this fun experience to anyone looking for a great memory to be made! ChrisNovember 2019
Who doesn't love spending time with goats, and throw in an alpaca and it is a great time for all. My family really enjoyed the hike with the animals, even with the rain and cold it was a lot of fun. NancyNovember 2019
The hosts were very kind and friendly. The property is beautiful and the animals so much fun. The hiking trail is beautiful and the alpaca were a delight to be with. SavannahNovember 2019
I haven't been to Asheville in a long time, but this trip was worth the drive from VA. The town of Marshall is beautiful and welcoming as well as the people who live there. Rock was very friendly (and we were 20 mins late) and told us the history of the land and the animals. The hike involved some steep hills but shouldn't be a problem without slippery leaves. The alpacas have their own personalities and are very friendly. Chaco loves being the leader and Whiskey tagged along. My friends and I are in school for animal science so we got to have a more in depth conversation about the goats and alpacas. The view in the middle of the hike is beautiful! It's a nice place to rest and get pictures. I definitely recommend Kristalyn and Rock for an autumn walk with alpacas and goats. It's not everyday you get to do that! AmyNovember 2019
My partner and I had an amazing time while hiking with Kristalyn, Chaco, and Chloe. Kristalyn is very passionate about her animals and we loved to hear all about how she came to be a goat/alpaca momma. I highly recommend trying this experience, the hike was a perfect length and not overly challenging. If you ever find yourself in the area, visiting Kristalyn and her herd are a must! AmandaOctober 2019
My husband and I had a wonderful time with this experience. It was great to go on a short hike with Choco, the alpaca, and Chloe, the goat. You also get to see some amazing views. We also got to visit with her other goats and alpaca afterwards. Kristalyn had snacks to let us feed them and even took pictures too. Kristalyn was very easy to talk to, thoughtful in planning the experience, and really knowledgeable. It’s clear she cares a lot about her guests and her animals! I would highly recommend this to anyone considering it! MarciaOctober 2019
We would highly suggest this experience. If you like animals and nature, you won’t want to miss this opportunity. Kristalyn accommodated us, even though she was booked up. She provided a lot of history and extra information about her experience with her farm and animals. Breathtaking views with the sun drawing down on the day. KristinSeptember 2019
Kristalyn was very personable and easy to connect with! She shared a lot about her experience with the animals and explained their different personalities. We felt welcome and we were able to interact with the animals as much as we wanted. ChristinaSeptember 2019
Kristalyn was an amazing host. We could not find an available spot to book during our visit to the Asheville area. When I contacted her, she was happy to create a spot for us. This was very much appreciated, as my daughter loves animals and was really looking forward to hiking with alpacas. The property was beautiful, Kristalyn and Rock were lovely hosts and the animals were the sweetest. Choco and Chloe were the perfect hiking companions. They may be the cutest and most interesting hiking companions, as well. Thank you both for such a memorable experience, we will be back. MichelleSeptember 2019
What a great experience we had with Kristalyn. Her animals are so sweet and adorable and it was such a nice experience being able to walk them on a trail and see the beautiful place they call home. kristalyn was very sweet and welcoming and had an abundance of knowledge on the animals and stories to share with us about each one and their personalities. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area, definitely worth the time and would definitely do it again! :) JulieSeptember 2019
We had a wonderful time getting to know Kristalyn and her alpacas and goats. The hike with Chocco (the alpaca) was great and it is definitely something that we would do again given the opportunity! We were able to walk and feed Chocco and take some fun pics too! Kristalyn was knowledgable, welcoming and the property is just beautiful!! Would highly recommend this trip to anyone!! Thank you again Kristalyn for such a fun time! MolliAugust 2019
I booked this for my sister and her wonderful roommate, (also like a sister!) and they had THE BEST TIME!!! Highly, highly recommend this! My one regret is that I couldn’t be there with them! NathanAugust 2019
We had a fantastic time learning about the alpacas and goats on site! The hike had some great views of the mountains and the entire experience gave us a great opportunity to connect with Kristalyn and the animals. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area and wanting to do something different! 10/10 was a memorable experience. CalebAugust 2019
This experience is fantastic for anyone looking for a quick and entertaining excursion in nature. The trails are enjoyably challenging and the alpaca was as fluffy as anyone would hope. NicoleJuly 2019
Kristalyn was an amazing tour guide! Her property is absolutely lovely and her sweet fur-children are adorable! We hiked with Choco, the black/dark brown alpaca, and Chloe, a goat, came along to keep him company. The hike was a decent workout without being overly exerting. My kids, ages 12 and 15, enjoyed taking turns with the lead for Choco. Kristalyn is very knowledgeable about her animals and was willing to share that knowledge with us. Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime hike!! ElizabethJune 2019
This was a very unique experience for my son and I. Neither of us had any experience with alpacas and so it was interesting to get to know them and how they interact with humans! Choco was adorable and feisty as all get out! Kristalyn is super sweet and knows her stuff, area, and all about the animals. I loved our hike in her community! Highly recommend. Children would LOVE this and be able to handle the hike easily. KatieJune 2019
We had a great time on our hike. How often can you say you've walked an alpaca through the woods?! The animals we well cared for and friendly. My 10 year old daughter who isn't an "outdoors" kinda person loved the experience too. TerryJune 2019
My friends and I had a terrific time visiting the farm with its alpacas and goats guided by Kristalyn. She and her partner made us feel very welcome and accommodated special needs. I have some balance issues so was able to join the rest of the group for only a part of the 30 minute trek with Cayo the Alpaca and Chloe the friendly goat. The others had a delightful time on the scenic walk. Afterward our hosts spent considerable time answering all our questions and seemed very knowledgeable. They took fun photos of our group. Highly recommend the experience, TiffanyJune 2019
Best experience ever, Chaco and Chloe were great hiking partners! Something we truly will never forget :) If you are in the area I highly recommend making time for this!!! KevinMay 2019
A truly unique experience from a genuinely passionate animal lover. The property is described as a homestead - not a farm. 10 acres of beautiful woods in the mountains of WNC, not far from Asheville. I got to meet Kai the alpaca and Nicole the goat. The hike was different, as you can imagine the variables of inserting animals can add but we had no trouble. At the top of the hill we climbed an overlook to see cows at pasture and the blue ridge mountains in he distance. On the walk we got to know Kristalyn how she came to own the property and the animals. This is her passion, it’s not for profit. We made occasional stops for feeding and pictures. I got to a ride a zip line as well. All in all we had an amazing time and would do it again. I cannot recommend this enough. You will not be disappointed. KatiMay 2019
The goat/alpaca hike was such a cool, unique experience! I would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the Marshall or Asheville area. Animals were super sweet and curious and Kristalyn was a great host! KristyMay 2019
My partner and I were only in the Asheville area for a couple days. I discovered this experience Kristalyn was offering and was really excited. The whole adventure exceeded expectations. Kristalyn was extremely nice and knowledgeable about the animals she cares for. We got to walk her lovely boy Cayo for about 30-40 minutes before spending some time with her other alpaca and their goats. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and Kristalyn & Cayo made it very memorable for my partner and I. I would recommend to anyone in the area!! LaurieMay 2019
My husband and I had an excellent time hiking with Cayo (an alpaca) and Kristalyn! We learned about alpacas and goats while we were hiking and we got to know Cayo and Kristalyn. The hike is short and beautiful. It includes a nice scenic view of the mountains which makes for some lovely picture-taking opportunities. We got to meet Chaco (Cayo’s alpaca friend) and the goats when we got back to our starting point! This excursion was a heartwarming and wonderful experience that we highly recommend! WesleyMay 2019
I gave my mother and her boyfriend the gift of a walk with Cayo the alpaca for Mother’s Day this year. (They are both in their 70s.) It was perfect! They loved the walk, meeting Cayo, and talking with Kristalyn, and they loved learning about her goats as well. :) Unique, fun, and affordable - highly recommend! (Also recommend dinner at the Star Diner in Marshall, which is what they did afterwards!) Thank you Kristalyn! JoelMay 2019
Amazing experience that we will never forget. The hike was beautiful and Kristalyn’s love for her animals really came through. We would easily revisit if we are ever back in town. StaceyMay 2019
Kristalyn was extremely sweet and made my friend and I feel very comfortable and at- home! She was very knowledgeable about the trail and her animals! I can tell she takes very good care of them! :) We thought it was a great hour-long activity to do during our trip! Response from KristalynMay 2019
Many thanks for visiting and for your chill presences! EllaApril 2019
Super fun experience. I was in town for just one night for a work conference the next day. This experience was a perfect thing to do for a Sunday outing...the hike was good, the animals were beautiful and it was perfect weather. I woulddefinitely recommend this to anyone in the area. The hosts were friendly and very knowledgeable about the animalsand the area. Response from KristalynApril 2019
Thank you so much for visiting! We enjoyed your presence! JenniferApril 2019
This experience is amazing! Definitely worth every penny and the hike was even more fun because of the amazing nature in combination with the sweetest alpaca. ToniApril 2019
Kristalyn showed a lot of love towards her alpacas and goats. It was a fun and exciting experience and I would love to do this again! Response from KristalynApril 2019
Many thanks for being my first official Airbnb Experience guests. It was a pleasure witnessing how Cayo interacted with you both. DaleApril 2019
I can’t stop bragging to my friends that I’ve meet and led an alpaca! My friend and I had a great time during this experience. Our hike on Kristalyn’s beautiful property with Chao the Alpaca was memorable. We both got plenty of time leading Chao and getting to connect with him with treats. Kristalyn answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. She made sure we got pictures with Chao separate and together. Once back we got to meet her other alpaca and her wonderful goats which also would make great walking companions. I’m very happy I went on this experience:) TroyMarch 2020
Great value. Beautiful area. Very nice and friendly animals and host. JenniferDecember 2019
We absolutely loved hanging out with Kristalyn and her babies. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Asheville. JamesNovember 2019
Great time, once in a lifetime type experience. Super cute fuzzy animals. PiyushMay 2019
