We consider Farhaven to be a Cottage, not a Cabin. Cottages are more sophisticated. They have painted or papered walls. Cottages have modern facilities like water and electricity and appliances and central air conditioning.
Cabins have a more unfurnished and crude look as compared to cottages. Moreover, Cabins often do not have modern facilities.

Lucky Eclipse

We were fortunate to stay here for the eclipse. Great view from the horse arena. The Utopia Gardens agricultural operation was also a big plus, with fresh eggs and vegetables. Our hosts were very gracious. Thanks!

Discover true utopia at Farhaven!

We can’t wait to come back. When we initially booked, we thought we’d have just a nice quiet place to stay while we visited Garner State Park. It turned out to be much more. Mark and Nancy were the most gracious hosts, and such nice people. Staying at the Farhaven cottage was just what our family needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We loved being able to hike and tour the grounds. The farm fresh eggs and fresh milk were delicious. It was the perfect environment for our two young boys to run around and see a working farm for the first time. While we didn’t have phone signal, the wifi provided was enough for us to keep in touch with the outside world when needed, though we rarely used it. Enjoying nature and taking in the beautiful property was more than enough for us. If you stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

Awesome relaxing few days!

We reserved the Farhaven after a search for close location to Lost Maples State Reserve. Although we were early for the color foliage we had a marvelous time. The home had everything we could possibly need except an ice maker but knowing ahead of time we stopped to pick up a bag. I love the wonderful eclectic decor of the house. My favorite style. Lots of wonderful art. Everywhere I looked there was something new to take in as far as the art. The owners are absolutely the warmest most accommodating host we have ever had in a VRBO/B&B environment. Loved all the farm animals, the lovely hill country vegetation, star clad nights and beautiful wildlife abound.
