About this property
Swim, Play & Meet Animals at this Summer Retreat
Step into a one-of-a-kind ranch experience where nature, animals, and family connection come together. Noah’s Ark is a peaceful 40-acre retreat where kids can roam free, animals greet you daily, and relaxation comes easy — all just 45 minutes from downtown Dallas. We’re nestled in the country right on the edge of suburbia, giving you the best of both worlds: wide open skies, starry nights, and quiet mornings — with easy access to shopping, dining, and city conveniences just minutes away.
Your Property:
During your stay, you’ll meet horses, mini horses, donkeys, llamas, goats, mini cows, dogs, and cats — all friendly and lovingly cared for. Guests of all ages love feeding them treats (like pears from the on-site tree) and visiting them each day. Also, enjoy shuffle board, a classic arcade game, an air hockey table and hot tub!
Guest Access:
- The Space: The home itself is clean, spacious, and charming, with five comfortable bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a fun game room for kids and adults alike.
- Outside: There’s also a 1-acre pond perfect for relaxing by the water or casting a fishing line.
Interaction with guests:
No preference - I follow my guest's lead.
Other details to note:
We are a real working ranch and have two ranch hands that help us with the work load, they should not be in the way of your time with us but are available if you are interested in learning more about our furry rescue friends.

About the host
Hosted by Casey Hansen

I’m a Texas local who takes pride in offering clean, comfortable spaces for travelers. I keep things simple, but I’m always nearby if you need anything during your stay. You’ll get a no-fuss experience with Texas hospitality.
Why they chose this property
We chose Bartonville for its perfect blend of quiet country charm and convenient access to everything North Texas has to offer. Nestled among rolling hills, horse farms, and peaceful backroads, it feels like a true escape—yet you're just minutes from restaurants, shops, and wineries in nearby towns like Argyle, Flower Mound, and Denton. It’s the best of both worlds: serene and scenic, but never too far from the action.
What makes this property unique
Nestled on a spacious, tranquil lot in the heart of Bartonville, this property offers the perfect blend of countryside peace and North Texas convenience. What makes this home unique is the company of many animals during your stay from horses to llamas.
