Benson Homestead & Stable - Cozy Barndominium with Horses, Mini Donkeys, Ducks

A cozy, thoughtfully decorated 3-bedroom barndominium apartment set on 4+ acres of our peaceful working homestead—complete with horses, mini donkeys, ducks, chickens, and wide-open space to breathe.

Our second-story apartment is accessed by a tall flight of stairs and opens onto a covered porch oasis at the top—perfect for morning coffee, sunset views, or simply slowing down.

This stay is more than a place to sleep. It’s a warm, clean, beautifully styled apartment on a property that feels like a retreat—white vinyl fencing, tall pine trees, gardens, and big Texas sky.

Inside you’ll love:
- Bright, open living area with cozy seating
- Fully equipped kitchen with island seating
- Inviting, unique décor with a “fun but calming” feel
- Comfortable beds + a simple, clean, relaxed vibe
- Built-in scavenger hunt experience (a guest favorite!)

Step outside and you’ll feel it immediately: quiet, space, and that grounded homestead rhythm.

Farm Friends on the Property

You’ll be sharing the land with:

- Horses (typically 4–5 on site)
- Two mini donkeys: Cricket & Olive
- Chickens and ducks
- Two barn cats: Bandit & Cloud

It’s a great stay for animal lovers and families who want something memorable—without sacrificing comfort.

On-site features include:
- Over 4 acres of private homestead space
- Covered riding arena (a signature feature of the property)
- White vinyl fencing and beautiful pasture views
- Tall pine trees and peaceful, natural surroundings
- Raised garden beds and a growing homestead garden area
- Fruit trees around the property (seasonal beauty + charm)

Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning light, taking a slow walk around the fencing and pines, or letting the kids soak in “country life,” the property is part of the experience.

Retreats, Gatherings & Ceremonies

We also welcome small retreats, intentional gatherings, and ceremony-style experiences by prior arrangement. If you’re looking for a space that feels grounded, private, and supportive for meaningful time together, this property was made for that.

Enjoy our quiet, one mile around cul de sac with infrequent cars, flat roads and plenty to see. Bring your bike or your running shoes!

We own and operate Full Circle Riding Academy - 15 minutes south in Watauga. Find us on Facebook or at www.fullcircleridingacademy.com

Optional note: If you’re traveling with equestrian needs, horse accommodations may be available by prior arrangement, including potential use of our stable and/or covered riding arena.
