WILDLIFE: Our home is on a 53 acre ranch in rural Texas. We share the countryside with an abundance of plants and creatures. Many of them are beautiful, some of them require caution. Any countryside stay like ours requires good sense and some basic wildlife knowledge. If needed, more information is available upon booking. Quiet time is 10PM to 8AM.
