Couple’s cute cottage retreat (Cabin #1)

Close to Corpus Christi yet off the beaten track, our couple’s cabin is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Quiet and serene. That’s how people describe their experience at Gulf Breeze Alpaca (& Sheep) Ranch. The property is located on a ridge overlooking Lake Corpus Christi. The cottage includes a cute kitchenette , full bath, queen size bed, and comfortable sitting area. The large screened back porch will give you the best view of the pastures that overlook the lake.

You can stay at the ranch and easily travel to points of interest because the location is 30 miles from Corpus Christi, Alice, Beeville, George West. Best of all, the ranch is only a couple of miles from the State Park at Lake Corpus Christi.

Make the most of your stay at the ranch by scheduling a tour of the property. Be sure to stop in at the Fiber Arts Studio & Farm Store. You'll find the whole experience to be relaxing both day and night.

There is Wifi and Satellite TV but you may prefer to spend your time exploring the farm, or just sitting on your front or back deck, or on the Patio at the main building.

This is a real working farm. Morning and evening chores are a great time to get close to the animals. Connect with the owners about shadowing them during these times to learn more about the goings on at the farmers.

Guests should be comfortable around large dogs. Our Livestock Guardian Dogs have access to the entire farm 24/7. Barking is a part of their job and this can be anytime day or night. If it becomes too much of a disturbance guests should let us know ASAP so that alternative arrangements can be implemented.

There is more than just alpacas on the property. You’ll find heritage sheep and turkeys, lots of chickens and cats! There are always 2-5 Livestock Guardian Dogs on Duty 24/7. While the dogs are quite imposing, they are people friendly! Using LGDs is a humane form of predator control. They more than earn their keep by protecting all the critters living on the farm, as well as their humans.

No matter what the weather brings, the property is in the path of many migrating birds. The State Park (Lake Corpus Christi Recreational Area) is located a short drive away. It is a couple of miles as the crow flies. The Bayfront at Corpus Christi is 35 miles from the farm, with the Northwest edge of the city just 26 miles. Padre Island National Seashore is another 25 miles from the city. Other points of interest are the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (60 miles) and Rockport (50 miles). The King Ranch is 40 miles to the south east. And San Antonio is 90 miles to the North. The farm is only 4 miles from the small town of Mathis and 12 miles from Oranage Grove, Tx. You'll find grocery stores, restaurants, gas and other shops in both. It is also about a 15 minute drive from some of the more popular wedding venues, such as Dancing Elk Lodge.
