Awaken in your cozy, memory foam bed to the sounds of the wind in the trees, hens clucking, and crowing roosters all reminiscent of a simpler, slower paced time. Your Alpaca Cottage is a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife and Bird Friendly Habitat and situated on a small working urban near the city of Atlanta. Adjacent to the cottage is a fenced field in which chickens free range, friendly and magical Peruvian and Bolivian alpaca (like small llama) roam about and live as sociable companion animals. The Your Alpaca Cottage features a comfy bedroom, bathroom, spacious sitting and dining areas, heat and air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, Roku television, screened porch, and a pergola with rocking chairs. The cottage is further enhanced with a small cottage garden in the side yard with herbs and seasonal vegetables. In front of the cottage is a young natural dye garden which will, in time, provide plants and flowers specifically planted with the idea of dying fabric and yarns using natural dyes. You'll want to sip your coffee, tea, or a glass of w**e on the porch with floor to ceiling screen so as not to obstruct the beautiful views. The pergola has a view of the field so you can watch the alpaca and chickens from the comfort of eucalyptus rocking chairs. You may wish to stroll through the adjacent organic, non-GMO vegetable garden planted by your host or venture to the field gate and visit with the animals. The cottage is comfortably furnished with an eye for simple beauty in mind. A plush sofa and oversized chair and ottoman were selected with relaxation in mind. The bed includes a 15" queen-sized medium cool aloe gel memory foam mattress (and gets 5-star reviews from our guests!) Vintage architectural accents including a resin filled heart of pine door dating to the late 1800’s (hung barn-door style) and a porch column accent salvaged from an early 1900’s Cabbagetown home enhance the simple beauty of a quiet haven in which to rest, relax, celebrate special occasions, and build new memories. The bed and bath linens are high thread count premium quality and the kitchen is equipped for cooking, should you wish to do so. The work of local artists and artisans are featured and we offer buttery soft Alpaca fiber blankets to snuggle up in! In addition to the queen sized bed, we have linens, pillows, and a comforter for the over-sized sofa. The cottage has a coded door lock so you may arrive at your convenience. The code is provided upon confirmed rental and changed between each guest. Interaction with Guests:
We live in the property’s main house and are available if you have questions. We are happy to give you a tour of our working farm of rare and beautiful chickens, stunning alpacas, and even a couple bunnies. To add to the wonder of our small urban farm, home hatched baby chicks are the occupants of the penthouse brooders from time to time! We grow our own organic fruits and vegetables and have pampered spoiled chickens that lay beautiful organic eggs. Organic, free range eggs are available for purchase on an as available basis. The Neighborhood of Decatur, 30033:
Although the neighborhood is residential, we are a working farm, so you'll hear the crowing of roosters although somewhat muffled by fencing and the cottage windows. Although this is an urban oasis and our Nirvana, please be aware you're near a city (about 20-25 minutes from downtown) and you may hear the occasional siren or train bell during your stay. You'll also hear the birds that live in the surrounding trees, the humming of alpacas, and the clucking of the nearby hens. Parking:
Parking is available adjacent to the cottage and there is sufficient space to turnaround.

TRUTH TIME. I don’t usually talk about this, but thought I would in this post:

I've always been outspoken in my personal life, but as of 6 years ago, I had not integrated activism on the Your Alpaca Cottage website and social media. At the time, I thought I was doing enough. I donate to the ACLU, Lambda Legal, Planned Parenthood, am a long-standing member of the NAACP, and support political candidates and organizations which fight for equity & justice. I march in protests and write countless emails demanding justice. Combined with these actions, I thought being kind, speaking up, and living the way I do was enough. It is not. Let me say it again, It. Is. Not. Enough. Sure, these actions are important, necessary & helpful, but I was missing a key part of activism.
⁣
❓What was I missing? For all I thought I was an activist and ally, I had some pretty glaring blind spots. I wasn't using my voice and privilege as effectively as I could. Most of y'all followed me for fun content about Alpacas, chickens, gardens, and and my Airbnb guest cottage, but I WASN'T letting you know where I stand as a business. That's important because when I spend money, I want to know about the businesses I support. Further, the revenue from the business helps support our rescue and adopted Alpacas and I want you to feel good not only about supporting the animals, but also about a business that works towards the good in our country.
⁣
These days, I speak up and make it abundantly clear that racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia etc. don't fly at Your Alpaca Cottage. Our Mission Statement and Airbnb listing reflect this and are an important part of guiding the decisions I make as a business owner. Moreover, I want to share this with you alongside the Alpacas and Llamas and chickens and gardens, because the joy of them is a happy spot during tough times. πŸ’›πŸ¦™βœ¨

Those of you who follow Your Alpaca Cottage know there is a lot of heart here. I believe in kindness, compassion, equity, and justice. Alpacas, Airbnbs & Activism ~ it just makes sense.

How about you ~Β  do you make choices to support businesses who support the causes you believe in?

Sleeping Alpacas scares the heck out of me every time! 😳 "Are you okay, babies?!??!!!!" 🀭

There's A LOT of new faces here, so it's INTRODUCTION TIME! I'm Marykay, founder & owner of Your Alpaca Cottage, an Airbnb on an urban Alpaca sanctuary just outside Atlanta. πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

πŸ’› The rescue and adopted Alpacas at Your Alpaca Cottage have come to us in a variety of ways, both rescued and adopted.

πŸ’› Typically, when rescue or adoption is needed for an Alpaca, it's because something changed for their prior owner. Health issues, financial crises and relocation can result in a need to find homes for a herd.

πŸ’› We are an Alpaca sanctuary not a petting zoo. In this environment the nature of these beautiful and curious animals is respected and anything we undertake, including shearing, healthcare and training is built on a foundation of trust and kindness.

πŸ’› I'm an active supporter of , a nonprofit with the focus of protecting the quality of life and improving the well being of abused, neglected, unwanted and behaviorally unmanageable Llamas and Alpacas through prevention, education, intervention, placement and lifelong care.

πŸ’› The idea of starting an Airbnb here on our urban farm was devised while having a glass of w**e and brainstorming with a friend on a random Wednesday evening about how to financially support our rescue and adopted Alpacas.

πŸ’› Your Alpaca Cottage is a safe space where all are welcome. 70% of our guests are local to the Atlanta area!

πŸ’› Your cottage booking helps support these gentle and curious animals so as a guest, you're such an important part of the work we do! After 10 years and still going strong, we are honored to be included in the Top 1% of Airbnbs worldwide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

πŸ’› In addition to being a host, I also have a full-time career in employee benefits and financial services and I love my work as well as the inclusion initiatives I'm involved in with the company!
