Mr. Jack was outside cleaning the pool when I arrived. He was very kind and offered to help me unload my vehicle. This is a working ranch so the owners were out and about tending to their animals. It was extremely peaceful. We had farm fresh eggs in the fridge. The house itself is lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable. The cookhouse has everything you need to make a full meal. We spent the weekend relaxing for my Husbands birthday. It was absolutely perfect!

Jack and Rose are fantastic hosts. I mentioned that we were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday and Rose brought us a giant slice of a delicious cake to celebrate. The animals are beautiful and my son loved playing with the dogs and cat as well as chasing the chickens. This place is a little slice of heaven away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Great getaway for City Slickers like us. Communication texts made check in simple and the cabin was perfect for our needs, with the pool being an added bonus. All of the animals, the sounds and smells of the farm took our minds far from the concrete jungle of Houston. Thank you Jack n Rose for sharing your piece of tranquility with us.

I can’t brave enough about this property and its owners, Rose and Jack. The property is rustic yet clean at the same time. We enjoyed spending time with the animals and interacting with Rose and Jack as well. They respected our privacy and were very helpful when needed. We enjoyed the pool, the bunkhouse, the cookhouse, and the serenity of peace. We will absolutely be booking this property again.

We came into town for an event in Palestine and had a fantastic stay! The home was exceptionally well equipped, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved all the new friends we made throughout the farm. The property is stunning and thoughtfully designed.The pool was wonderful and watching the baby foal play was so much fun.Rose is a gracious host, and we’re already looking forward to returning next year!

Four unforgettable days on the farm

We found ourselves in the heart of the farm, and we were amazed by how peaceful and quiet it was. There was so much space for the kids to run around and play. Our best companions during the trip were three friendly dogs who stayed by our side.The farm radiates a special harmony, where the connection between humans and nature feels real and profound. All the animals were calm and friendly, and it was evident how much love and care the owners put into them.Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to help and answer any questions. We were lucky to witness how they trained a horse, and the most memorable moment was when our daughter got the chance to ride one!We left this wonderful farm with warm memories and the heartfelt kindness of its owners. We will definitely be back!
