HANDS DOWN FABULOUS SUPER SAFE! Had the ultimate glamping farmland experience. Not only is this place land based and sustainable, I felt super safe staying here and comforted as a queer woman. The most beautiful chickens assist you with your stay and the facilities are up-kept super well. Incredibly clean site for camping in tents with additional amenities and yurts for stay too. Great outdoor kitchen and big bathrooms with showers and soon hot tubs! David is an incredible story teller and I excitedly await for my return to come back to Paca Pride. read more

Waited last minute to book something for memorial Day, and thankfully the Paca pride ranch had one available spot. Wasn't sure what to really expect, but had a general idea. This by all means exceeded my expectations. Upon pulling in, although not to far from the main road...I still felt transported into a whole different atmosphere. Check in was effortless. Can we talk about David the owner and host. TOP NOTCH so friendly, informative, kind and easy going. He took the time to explain everything. He pointed everything out and even helped with all my questions about things to do, different hikes, and my endless questions about the property itself. The property. Wow. We stayed in the guest house but utilized the communal fire pit and visited with the Alpacas, the chickens and other guests. The campground was full and everyone we met was so nice, and friendly. If you are looking for a unique getaway that will be something memorable I suggest staying here. We will be back and staying in a yurt next time. read more

Stayed one night as a little family get away. It was a very memorable experience to stay in a yurt and be around the life and love the ranch offers through the plants, animals, and hosts! We plan to make a yearly visit here to watch the amazing growth this property is sure to experience. Kudos to the hardwork and labor of love these folks have put into the Paca Pride. read more

David makes this place so magical! We pulled up and a family said we could go n see if the alpacas would come to us, and they did. About 5 mins later David came out and gave us a personal tour of the farm. Such an amazing place with Yurks to stay in!! I can't say enough good things about this place. David is amazing and so knowledgeable, I wish I could of picked his brain more. The true American dream. Alpaca pride!!! read more

The most magical time of my adult life! The small guest is very romantic and brings you into this amazing mood. I love being around the chicken. David gives you a small tour around the farm and you can get close up to the animals. I loved wakin up to the chickens walking around. It was truly a wonderful experience. I will return any chance I get. Be sure to bring everything because it is just a unique camping experience. You have to cook your own food (they provide stove tops and bbq grills) you have to bring utensils, coolers and plates. The shower is awesome it's heated and have all the amenities like a normal bathroom. Bring towels! It's not even too far of a walk from the small yurt. David is so knowledgable about the animals and the land! It is awesome! read more

This was such a fun experience for my family, David was so sweet and kind to my kids. He really took time to tell them about taking care of his farm and animals as well as sharing their practices in recycling waste and reusing it. We will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful way to experience the beautiful Mountain Loop Highway, without having to sleep on the the cold ground in the wet spring/end of winter - and with snowshoeing just up the road! Love the energy of the yurt - with sound of rain on the roof, and the sound of the birds and animals. They call it Glamping - but IMO, more amenities than that! Only difference from a simple hotel room is getting dressed to go to the bathroom and outdoor kitchen. Great Pacific Northwest experience. So Welcoming and Generous in sharing what they are doing, and why. Grateful we found them, will totally go back next winter! read more

I just got back from a one-night get away to Paca Pride. Awesome. The scenery, the setting, the very friendly (yet COVID-precautionary host) all get all the stars and all the thumbs up. It was a perfect way to get away from home for the first time since quarantining. Oh -- the chickens. They are cool. And the dogs! And the cat. Oh -- and the birds. Just go. read more

Our family stays here every summer. Friendly hosts with great peaceful setting & close to Red Bridge & Gold Basin campgrounds, Lake 22 hike and a beautiful view of Mt. Pilchuck. The bed is also deceptively comfortable & restrooms\showers are private and very clean. The hosts will even give a short tour of the animals on the property. read more

David, Glenn, and Tim are the most welcoming hosts. I spent the weekend at the ranch with my running club and had an amazing time. There was plenty of camping space for our group of 120, with room for a group meal and event area. The ranch is beautiful, and it was nice to have showers and the kitchen area available. I'm madly in love with this place, and will be going back as often as possible. read more

My husband and I stayed in the guest room in the beautiful lodge. It was very comfy and even had a tv. I met the group outside at 8:30 am to help with morning chores and learned so much about alpacas, chickens and the land they live on. David is an excellent teacher and host. I'm excited to take future trips here with friends and family. I can't wait to try out the yurt!! read more

This sustainable alpaca ranch is a gem of a nearby get-away outside of Granite Falls on the beautiful Mountain Loop Highway. The hospitable staff is very knowledgable about the area, which has numerous nearby attractions: hiking trails along the Stilaguamish River, ice caves and the old gold mining town of Monte Cristo are just a few. Run by a small group committed to permaculture, the ranch is an impressive display of forward-looking agriculture. There are guided tours, and if you're lucky you can take home some farm-fresh eggs. With views of the snowy peaks of Mount Pilchuck, I found the ranch and surrounding area a peaceful place, ideal for reflection. Having made a big decision the day before I arrived on a hot day, I had a lot on my mind. After just a few hours of hiking in the forest and plunging into the chilly waters of the Stillaguamish, I knew I'd made the right choice. The rest of my stay was tranquil, and I left re-charged. Love it! read more

Had an amazing time at the alpaca ranch! David and Glenn were awesome and willing to accommodate all our needs. We live out of state and had all our guests from Las Vegas share a yurt! What an experience! Recommend this over a hotel or bed and breakfast to anyone who is trying to have a vacation they will remember. We will be back again next year. Thank you guys!! read more

This place is amazing! The guys who run the place are great, the yurts are so cool and perfect for camping if you don't want to stay in a tent, and they cater the most amazing food if you are in a large group. read more

My wife and I had an amazing experience staying in the Yurt. The hospitality is amazing. The location is great. We learned a lot about alpacas and we can't wait to go back with our friends! read more

Great place! The cozy store stocks some amazing alpaca products; we love the socks year-round and give them as Christmas gifts. The yurts are so cool and unique and the hosts make you feel like you are at home...because it is their home. Better than camping on a dirt pad in the wet forest under a blue tarp, that's for sure! read more

Will not sell gift cards for less than 2 night stay. I am not willing to spend $170 on my friends for a gift, so they will miss out on this experience, and I probably won't visit because of this. My suggestion to management is to offer one night stay gift cards. You'll get a ton of additional business. I've advised family/friends local to Seattle to look elsewhere for a place to stay, as wonderful as this place looks to be. Very disappointed! read more

My husband and I have been lucky to travel around the world through work and because we enjoy it and love it. What a surprise to find "Paca Pride" ranch just up the road from where we live! An amazing, adventurous, welcoming place without even having to take a long flight. We stayed at their yurt over the weekend, received the most wonderful tour of the ranch, and learned so much about the Alpacas! WE LOVED IT! The guys are welcoming to their ranch and make you feel right at home, great hospitality (thank you David, Glenn and Tim!). Their space is extremely clean and comfortable. Just an amazing adventure that we look forward to doing again! Exceeded all our expectations and we are so happy we did it! read more

We had such a great time there this summer. The yurt was beautiful. The grounds and amenities fantastic. But most of all the owners were such lovely people. I would stay again and recommend anyone else in the area do the same. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the yurt for the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The yurt was clean and comfortable, had a heater to keep us warm, and clean and comfortable bedding. It has electric lighting and outlets, so we were able to put on a movie at night via our laptop dvd player. No, wireless service but that adds to the charm. The second night we stayed it rained all night heavily, yes it was loud, but I thought it was lovely! We stayed quite dry and comfortable despite the storm. The walk to the restroom was just a short distance, take a flashlight and an umbrella if it's raining. David, one of the owners devoted over an hour walking us all over the property filling us in on the history of the property and explaining the various growth stages of the forest as we pasted through different areas. He also explained how they worked with the land in a natural way to make it productive while minimizing any negative impact and in fact improving the health of the land and the people and animals that live there. We came away with a great respect for the work they are doing there and a desire to learn more. This was a relaxing yet educational weekend that I would recommend to anyone. read more

We really had a great time at the Paca Pride Guest Ranch and recommend it highly. We stayed in the Guest Yurt, which was really cozy and comfortable. David was a spectacular host and you could sense how much he loves his holistic approach to agriculture. He was happy to explain and demonstrate everything about the operation. You can help with chores as much or as little as you want. We had fun feeding the alpacas and collecting chicken eggs. Don't miss the nature walk around the 17-acre facility. The shared outdoor kitchen facility was well-stocked and serviceable. The whole place was incredibly clean and practically big-free (which is almost weird for a working ranch) all apparently due to the permaculture approach (sustainable a la Michael Pollan). A great base camp location for day hikes all around the Mountain Loop Highway. Finally, alpacas are incredibly cute and docile. You need to come visit this place. read more

What an amazing, peaceful place! David was so nice and welcoming. Upon arrival we received a 20 minute tour of the farm, which my seven year old loved! The farm is about 7 miles out of town, which is convenient in case you need to pick anything up. There's no cell phone reception, no internet and no tv which is perfect if you're looking to relax and unplug for the weekend. Paca Pride is also surrounded by loads of hiking trails. My son and I stayed in the room in the main house which was so warm and cozy. We were also able to sneak a peak at the roundhouse yurt which was incredible! It was very spacious and looked like be so much fun to stay in. I booked it for our next trip there. The outdoor cooking area was so convenient as well. There was a sink with hot water, a propane grill, a charcoal grill and a gas stove. Farm fresh chicken eggs are also available for purchase in the morning. It's a great place to go for both couples and families. My son that when he grows up he's going to take his family there, which really shows what a special place Paca Pride is. We look forward to our next trip there. read more
