Cute Container Cabin on Ranch w/ 90 Rescue Donkeys
Featured in Mar '24 Fort Worth Magazine's "The Great Texas Road Trip!" Chaos Ranch is appx. 300 acres and is primarily home to appx. 90 rescue donkeys. Our very private 20 foot converted shipping container has an awesome deck on top, allowing you to enjoy both our spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Perfect place for an overnight stop, nature lovers, and folks just wanting to enjoy some rural peace and quiet. You are free to take nature hikes and enjoy the firepit and outdoor cooking amenities.
The space We don't do crazy checkout chores here and the cleaning fee is included in the price! We will allow up to 70 lbs of pet for a $40 fee to help with the extra cleaning/sanitizing. Message us if you have any pet questions. ***PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE PET GUIDELINES UNDER HOUSE RULES/OTHER DETAILS FOR THEIR SAFETY.***
This is a very cozy 20' converted sea container accommodation, perfect for 1 or 2 guests. We welcome any and all at our little cabin and enjoy getting to make new friends from all walks in life. You will have a comfy queen bed, coffee setup, fridge with freezer, microwave, and shower with toilet and sink. There is a wall AC unit and small electric heaters that keep the well insulated accommodation very comfortable in the heat or cold. This place is truly perfect for outdoor loving types that want the solitude of camping, but love the comforts of a hotel room.
You are welcome to cook outdoors on one of the 3 choices : 1) electric grill 2) fire pit or 3) 30” propane/fish fryer combo grill. ***WE PROVIDE FIREWOOD FOR YOUR STAY AND IT IS INCLUDED IN THE RATE*** There are also some awesome places to eat in Miles, located just about 3 miles away.
Try to catch one of our breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from the top deck! You can still even see the stars in our peaceful little corner of West Texas.
Guest access You are free to roam the approximately 60 acres of the front pasture where your cabin is located. With notice, we are also happy to give you a complimentary ATV cart tour of the rest of the property for some nature viewing.
Other things to note No UNAUTHORIZED Pets allowed - Donkeys are very protective and territorial, and many of the donkeys on property will kill domestic pets, as they consider them intruders. We love animals and definitely want to keep both the donkeys and your animals safe. Therefore, we ask that you disclose your pet upon booking so that we can make sure that a) the protective electric fencing is on to protect both pets and donkeys and b) we know that a pet is on site. This is a rural area and sadly enough, unexpected domesticated animals can meet untimely ends out here if they are perceived as strays or a threat to other pets and livestock. Understand that there is no closed front entrance gate and it is your responsibility to not let your animal run off. Absolutely do not leave your animal unattended or uncrated in the cabin! Clorox cleanup wipes are provided in cabin to wipe up any accident. And please, no pets in the bed.

Beautiful sunrises, amazing sunsets, super clean and wonderful host. We couldn't have asked for more during our stay. Thanks for everything Chandra. If we're ever in the area again we will definitely stay here again.

Thank y’all so very much! We enjoyed meeting and hosting you two. Thanks for being awesome, and we hope to see you again!
We were in Miles for a burial, Chandra and Jared were so incredible and turned it into one of the best stays we have had. The donkeys and tour of the ranch was phenomenal and we couldn't have asked for more accomodating hosts. The fresh eggs were delicious also. We will be back for sure. behosts

Thank you so much for this review. I’m so glad you two found us and enjoyed the stay. Look forward to seeing y’all again! <3
The property was as described and very comfortable. The owner is knowledgeable and helpful. Enjoyed the property tour and hearing her love of the land and animals for whom she cares. Standing in a corral of 45 donkeys most wanting to check you out but others wanting to move you to get out of the gate was the highlight second only to the quiet expanse around the site! You will want to return!

Patricia, thank you so much for the review and your good humor with some of our more pushy equine hosts! :) They keep us on our toes around here for sure. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at The Chaos and look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit.
About the host
Hosted by Chandra Eggemeyer
Hey there! My husband, Jared, and I love meeting new people that share an appreciation for big open skies, nature, and the farm and ranch life. We also love to travel and explore new countries. We have worked hard to provide you a great tiny guest house with the little extras to make you comfortable. In our spare time, we work with and care for 90 rescue donkeys we keep on pasture where our Airbnb is located. We look forward to sharing this little piece of West Texas paradise with you!
Why they chose this property
We love living here in West Texas and wanted to provide a place to stay for singles and couples that also appreciate what West Texas has to offer. We love sharing the property with others and educating them about agriculture, how awesome donkeys are, and living in rural Texas.
What makes this property unique
This cabin is small, but cozy and totally private. You aren't in a noisy location with fellow guests right next to you. It truly is a relaxing getaway for those that enjoy peace and nature. The deck is awesome to sit on and enjoy great views, and the firepit is a favorite for guests.
