Welcome to to the Texas countryside!
Guest Access
PRIVACY: You’ll have the ranch house and its amenities all to your self. Outdoor activities like the lake, hiking, etc. may be shared with other guests staying at the retreat center. Please note, our property includes a 1/4 acre farm and a retreat center. They are a couple hundred yards from your ranch house, with no line of sight between. The garage at the end of the home is used as a workshop, and the barn with some equipment is across the driveway. The deck, pool, fire pit, and other amenities are mostly out of sight and quite private. While we occasionally access the workshop and barn, we will respect your privacy.

Other Details to Note
WILDLIFE: Our home is on a 53 acre ranch in rural Texas. We share the countryside with an abundance of plants and creatures. Many of them are beautiful, some of them require caution. Any countryside stay like ours requires good sense and some basic wildlife knowledge. If needed, more information is available upon booking. We regularly treat and maintain our buildings to minimize intrusion of bugs and other pests. However, when you're in the TX countryside pests are not 100% preventable. We cannot offer refunds due to bugs or other pests.
