About this property
5 BR family ranch home, near Fossil Rim, hiking, farm animals and COWBOY POOL
BRAND NEW COWBOY POOL OPEN! Stay 4 nights, 4th night free!!
We offer contact-free check-in, but are available whenever you need us by text or phone call.
Between hanging out and exploring our 900 acres full of trails, ravines, rest areas, breathtaking vistas and resting areas, and all that Glen Rose has to offer, you will have plenty to do!
Habari is the original and largest of our ranch’s four guest houses. Habari has had a rich history, starting out as the ranch manager’s quarters, then as overflow rental for Fossil Rim (your host owned and grew Fossil Rim for some 20 years!) and our ranch staff.
Habari is close enough to the county road for quick trips to Fossil Rim’s Overlook and into Glen Rose, but far enough off the road for quiet and solitude.
Habari is a great starting point to explore our ranch's trails and ravines. Habari (“Hello! How are you? You are Welcome Here!” in Swahili) is a “cozy but elegant” (as one guest said!) ranch style house with: • 20 miles of fossil-laden trails to explore on our organically and sustainably managed Ranch and Sanctuary. • Habari is located just a short walk away from our NEW farm store! We offer rainbow pasture eggs, fresh produce, USDA grass-fed ground beef, garden salsa, balm jellies, and more! • A short walk to see our goats and their guard donkey. Join us for goat feeding and ask about our other farm animals!
It is easy to get lost at Habari, lost in thought, lost in time, lost from stress and the city life! All of this in our little slice of the Hill Country, just 90 minutes south of the Dallas-Ft Worth area! We invite you to stay at Habari or any of our other three guest houses, it’s the best cure we know for nature deficit disorder!!!
Ask us about our other three vacation rental homes on the ranch! We also allow special parties and events (with fee)!
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and 3 bathrooms.
