Pool table was too flimsy so we were scared to play on it. The website says the house sleeps 12 but that’s way far fetched without doubling up in all beds and using all couches. No coffee pot

Great family getaway
The house was perfect for entertaining the whole family. There are lots of living areas so everyone had plenty of room. The location provides easy I-35 access to San Marcos or New Braunfels. It was nice to relax and see some animals we don’t normally get to see.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Jenina Amboster
I'm Kevin. Three years ago, I made the exciting move from the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Tahoe to the vibrant city of Austin. I can't get enough of the sun here—it's a complete game-changer! The warm and inviting climate perfectly complements my love for outdoor activities and fuels my adventurous spirit.
One thing you should know about me is that I have always had a deep affinity for animals. In fact, owning a farm has been a lifelong dream of mine. The idea of nurturing and caring for various creatures fills me with joy and purpose. Being in Austin, with its unique blend of urban energy and rural charm, only amplifies my desire to make that dream a reality.
When I'm not daydreaming about my future farm, you'll likely find me exploring the diverse hiking trails that weave through the beautiful countryside. Nature has always been my sanctuary—a place where I find solace, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. The opportunity to immerse myself in the great outdoors and witness the wonders of the world firsthand is something I deeply cherish.
Speaking of exploration, I have an insatiable wanderlust. Traveling is a passion that continually ignites my curiosity and broadens my horizons. Whether it's uncovering hidden gems, experiencing different cultures, or embarking on thrilling adventures, I thrive on the thrill of discovering new places and creating unforgettable memories.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
Nestled in the picturesque countryside, my farm is a haven for animal enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. My farm boasts a delightful assortment of residents, including alpacas, goats, mini cattle, mini horses, and mini donkeys. Each of these charming creatures brings a unique personality and adds to the vibrant tapestry of life on your farm.
One of the standout features of ymy farm is its two large ponds. These tranquil bodies of water serve as serene focal points, not only providing a scenic backdrop but also creating a habitat for various wildlife. The ponds offer a peaceful oasis for birds, frogs, and other aquatic creatures, enhancing the farm's natural ecosystem.
My passion for alpacas is evident in the way you care for and interact with these gentle and intelligent animals. Their luxurious wool and captivating personalities make them a special addition to your farm. Whether you're observing their graceful movements or enjoying hands-on interactions, the alpacas bring a touch of whimsy and uniqueness to your farm, reflecting your dedication and love for these remarkable creatures.
Additionally, the presence of mini cattle, horses, and donkeys on myfarm adds a delightful charm to the landscape. Their small stature and endearing features make them both visually appealing and manageable to care for. They bring a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of a classic farm scene, while providing opportunities for animal interactions and hands-on experiences that reflect your commitment to animal welfare and enjoyment.
The combination of these diverse animals, along with the idyllic ponds, creates an enchanting ambiance on my farm. It offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and connect with the captivating animals that call my farm home.
