Our Guest House

A Four Season Destination where you can experience rural living!!!

Every season holds something special at Long Acres Alpaca Farm.  The alpacas are happiest of course in the winter.  We love going out to the fields with a cup of hot cocoa and snuggling our cold hands in their super soft and warm fleece.  Spring is a time of beautiful blooms and the alpacas get excited exploring the fields for the green, growing treasures of first buds.  Summer is very warm, okay it's hot and humid, in south central PA.  You'll find the shorn alpacas in the barns most of the time where they sleep as close to the fans as possible.  Fall is an absolute gorgeous burst of color as our farm is part of the Appalacian Mountain range and we witness it's peak in October. 

The two-story 1900 brick farmhouse has three bedrooms and one and a half baths. It has a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, dining room, family room, and study (crib available, if needed). Enjoy sitting around the firepit or grilling dinner on the patio while watching the alpacas in the fields around you. The Guest House is located on our farm, but affords you lots of privacy. You can also have internet access and TV, just in case you think you need it.  Well, let me qualify that by saying the  TV is courtesy of the rotating antennae but there is DSL hookup.  We're pretty confident you'll find lots of ways to entertain yourself!

A Quick Drive to Mercersburg...

Whitetail Golf offers a challenging 18-hole course and newly built banquet facility.
