Exactly what we were looking for!
Our family chose this property for a quiet getaway over Memorial Day Weekend. Rose and Jack were exceptional hosts! Communication was outstanding from booking through checkout, plus there were detailed information sheets in both the bunkhouse and pool/cook house. Both areas were well-appointed and we did not want for anything. If you forget something while packing, there's a good chance that Rose already has it there for you! If not, Rusk is only a few minutes up the road. Although there were plenty of intriguing activities to do in the area, we spent pretty much the entire time in the pool or on a covered porch or patio. All of the trees and plants were gorgeous! My husband especially liked using the Blackstone (one of three grilling options) for all of our meals. The bunkhouse had a warm, cozy glow to it for reading a book or watching a movie (a wonderful selection of both were available to choose from), and the beds were very comfortable. I was able to walk around the property with Rose one morning to feed the potbellied pigs, chickens (and collect eggs), horses and cows. That was a highlight, for sure! We also really enjoyed interacting with their friendly pets. I wish we could have stayed longer! We left there feeling relaxed and refreshed. We will definitely be going back!!

Perfect retreat
Jack and Rose were amazing hosts. The property was just as described and our girls loved seeing the pigs, horses, cows, and chickens. Overall, it was a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a nice quiet weekend.

Quite, peaceful, and relaxing
What a great place and the host is amazing. Only draw back is the bunkhouse/sleeping quarters is separate for the kitchen. Which they do tell you about. But, they are so helpful. We got lots of rain and Rose made sure we had an umbrella and anything to make us more comfortable. I will stay again when in the area. Thank you Rose.

Great experience!
We spent a few days with Jack and Rose over Spring Break. If your an animal lover this place is for you. We interacted with the chickens, pigs, cows, horses, cats and dogs. We collected and ate fresh eggs every morning. Rose will customize your experience to your comfort level with the animals. The kitchen was well equipped with all the utensils and appliances you could possibly need including a propane and a charcoal grill. There were also plenty of spices, condiments, bottle water and other items available. There is a lot to do in the area including a drive thru Safari and some Historic and nature sites. We didn't use the pool because it was a little chilly during our stay, but during the summer it should be very welcoming after a day exploring the area. If you must work during your stay, both cell and internet service were excellent. The hosts were very accommodating and we could tell they were willing to do whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable. They will interact with you or give you your privacy, just let them know what you want.
