Wake up to the sounds of roosters crowing, goats bleating, and the gentle rustle of wind through oak trees. Our farm is home to a diverse collection of animals including Nigerian Dwarf goats, heritage chickens, friendly alpacas, and rescue animals that each have their own unique personalities and stories.
Throughout your stay, you'll have opportunities to participate in daily farm activities like feeding animals, collecting fresh eggs, and learning about sustainable farming practices. Our farm-to-table approach means many of the ingredients in your breakfast come directly from our land, including fresh eggs, seasonal vegetables, and herbs from our organic garden.
Our glamping accommodations combine the adventure of outdoor camping with the comfort and luxury you deserve. Choose from our beautifully restored farmhouse with panoramic views of rolling hills, or experience our unique geodesic dome that offers 360-degree stargazing opportunities through its transparent ceiling. Each accommodation features modern amenities including air conditioning, comfortable bedding, private bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchenettes.
The geodesic dome is particularly popular for romantic getaways and special celebrations, offering an unforgettable experience of sleeping under the stars while remaining comfortable and protected. Our farmhouse accommodations are perfect for families or groups seeking more space and traditional comfort with stunning countryside views.
Your farm stay puts you in the perfect location to explore some of Central Texas's most beloved attractions. San Marcos, just 15 minutes away, offers crystal-clear river activities including tubing, paddleboarding, and swimming at Spring Lake. The historic town square features unique shopping, local restaurants, and the famous San Marcos Premium Outlets for those seeking retail therapy.
Within a 30-minute drive, you can visit the vibrant city of Austin with its famous music scene, food trucks, and cultural attractions. The scenic town of Wimberley offers boutique shopping and the popular Wimberley Market Days.

Each season brings its own magic to Texas Hill Country. Spring (March-May) is wildflower season, with bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and dozens of other native flowers creating spectacular natural displays across the landscape. This is also perfect weather for hiking, outdoor activities, and exploring local festivals like Wimberley's Spring Festival.
Summer (June-August) brings warm days perfect for river activities, evening firefly watching, and late-night stargazing from our dome accommodation. Fall (September-November) offers cooler temperatures, beautiful foliage, and harvest season activities. Winter (December-February) provides peaceful solitude, cozy evenings by the fire, and the chance to experience rural Texas in its quieter, more contemplative season.
Whether you're planning a romantic weekend getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat, our farm offers the perfect escape from city life. We recommend booking at least 2-3 nights to fully experience the rhythm of farm life and explore the surrounding Hill Country attractions. Check-in typically includes a farm tour where you'll meet our animals and learn about daily schedules and feeding times.
For the best experience, we suggest bringing comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and cameras to capture the beautiful sunrises and sunsets over our rolling pastures. All linens, towels, and basic amenities are provided, and we're always happy to recommend local restaurants, activities, and hidden gems based on your interests and the season of your visit.
