About this property

5 BR family ranch home, borders Fossil Rim, 900 acres, hiking, farm animals

Stay 4 nights, 4th night free!!

We offer contact-free check-in, but are available whenever you need us by text or phone call.

Between hanging out and exploring our 900 acres full of trails, ravines, rest areas, breathtaking vistas and resting areas, and all that Glen Rose has to offer, you will have plenty to do!

Habari is the original and largest of our ranch’s four guest houses. Habari has had a rich history, starting out as the ranch manager’s quarters, then as overflow rental for Fossil Rim (your host owned and grew Fossil Rim for some 20 years!) and our ranch staff.

Habari is close enough to the county road for quick trips to Fossil Rim’s Overlook and into Glen Rose, but far enough off the road for quiet and solitude.

Habari is a great starting point to explore our ranch's trails and ravines. Habari (“Hello! How are you? You are Welcome Here!” in Swahili) is a “cozy but elegant” (as one guest said!) ranch style house with:
• 20 miles of fossil-laden trails to explore on our organically and sustainably managed Ranch and Sanctuary.
• Habari is located just a short walk away from our NEW farm store! We offer rainbow pasture eggs, fresh produce, USDA grass-fed ground beef, garden salsa, balm jellies, and more!
• A short walk to see our goats and their guard donkey. Join us for goat feeding and ask about our other farm animals!

It is easy to get lost at Habari, lost in thought, lost in time, lost from stress and the city life! All of this in our little slice of the Hill Country, just 90 minutes south of the Dallas-Ft Worth area! We invite you to stay at Habari or any of our other three guest houses, it’s the best cure we know for nature deficit disorder!!!

Ask us about our other three vacation rental homes on the ranch! We also allow special parties and events (with fee)!

Fun in the country
If you want a real taste of rural Texas, this place is great. Sit on the front porch and watch the cow and pick up trucks pass.

Wonderful catching up with friends
This was the first opportunity since COVID for us to get together with a few other families that we see yearly. It was a great place to stay and it had room for all of us. There was many thing we were able to do on the property (hiking, feeding the goats) and there was plenty of space for the kids to run around in the fresh air. We were also only 15 to 20 minutes away from many attractions (Fossil Rim, Dinosaur Valley State Park, Paluxy Heritage Park, Big Rocks Park) and eating (Loco Coyote, Hammonds BBQ). It was a lovely and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfect for our Family
The Habari house with 5 bedrooms was perfect for our 3 families. We enjoyed the beautiful country setting by sitting out on the porch and having a fire in the fire pit for our smores. Jeff was very thoughtful for stopping by to ask our grandson to ride down with him to feed the cows. A great stay for us!
