Private cottage on alpaca farm

Take a drive to the countryside for a fun farm stay or a place to relax and unwind, you’ve come to the right place! Create special memories with a stay at this delightfully private and cozy cottage, one of three cottages on the property. Overlooking Lake Corpus Christi, the sights and sounds of city life are miles away, you can easily forget you're really only a half hour from Corpus Christi, Beeville, Alice or George West and only minutes from shopping and restaurants..

Completely furnished with over stuffed sofa, rustic furniture and well equipped kitchen, you'll lack for nothing during your stay, whether it's a weekend or a week!

Make the most of your stay at the ranch by scheduling a tour of the property. Be sure to stop in at the Fiber Arts Studio & Farm Store. You'll find the whole experience to be relaxing both day and night.

There is Wifi and Satellite TV but you may prefer to spend your time exploring the farm, or just sitting on your front or back deck, or on the Patio at the main building.

This is a real working farm. Morning and evening chores are a great time to get close to the animals. Connect with the owners about shadowing them during these times to learn more about the goings on at the farm. All overnight guests are offered a complimentary tour of the farm. Feeding time provides an excellent time for touring. Be sure to let the owners know your desire so that they can let you know when and where to meet up.

Guests should be comfortable around large dogs. Our Livestock Guardian Dogs have access to the entire farm 24/7. Barking is a part of their job and this can be anytime day or night. If it becomes too much of a disturbance guests should let us know ASAP so that alternative arrangements can be implemented.

There is more than just alpacas on the property. You’ll find heritage sheep and turkeys, lots of chickens and cats! There are always 2-5 Livestock Guardian Dogs on Duty 24/7. While the dogs are quite imposing, they are people friendly! Using LGDs is a humane form of predator control. They more than earn their keep by protecting all the critters living on the farm, as well as their humans.

No matter what the weather brings, the property is in the path of many migrating birds. The State Park (Lake Corpus Christi Recreational Area) is located a short drive away. It is a couple of miles as the crow flies. The Bayfront at Corpus Christi is 35 miles from the farm, with the Northwest edge of the city just 26 miles. Padre Island National Seashore is another 25 miles from the city. Other points of interest are the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (60 miles) and Rockport (50 miles). The King Ranch is 40 miles to the south east. And San Antonio is 90 miles to the North. The farm is only 4 miles from the small town of Mathis and 12 miles from Oranage Grove, Tx. You'll find grocery stores, restaurants, gas and other shops in both. It is also about a 15 minute drive from some of the more popular wedding venues, such as Dancing Elk Lodge.

Amazing Full Immersion Visit
Lyn and Andrew were incredible. They took the time to show us so much more than we expected. We got to help feed, take samples, and learned the ins/outs of raising alpaca and sheep. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Great experience!
Lyn and Mark are terrific hosts. They really make your stay a warm and happy one. The cottage is everything you could possibly want. We could watch the alpaca right outside from the back deck as well as see the beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend this holiday. We travelled about 2500 miles to be there and we are thrilled that we did. Thanks Lyn and Mark.
