We as hosts and owners of the property will frequently be on the property tending to the animals, watering trees, perhaps cleaning the other cabin on the property. We will respect your privacy. Other things to note Due to the fact there are horses on the property, it is imperative that guests keep the entrance gate closed at all times when entering or exiting the property. Our horses graze on our neighbor’s property. However guests are not allowed to access neighboring properties and must remain within the 6.5 fenced acres of this property. Please be sure all members in your party are aware of this. While our horses are very friendly, DO NOT FEED THEM. They are rescue horses , with medical issues such as worn teeth, chewing difficulties, high risk of choke, and metabolic disorders requiring specialized diets. Thanks! All activities on the property are subject to the Equine Inherent Risk Law. By renting the property you have indicated that by your presence on the grounds you have accepted the limits of liability resulting from inherent risks of equine activities under Texas Law.

We do not allow guests to kill any animals on the property. Please note ONLY the number of guests booked can be on the property. This means no additional visitors. Meet with your friends at a restaurant or other public place. We do not have the septic, parking, or insurance for anyone other than the 4 (or less), in your party. We do not accept 3rd party bookings as this is against Airbnb policy. No smoking or vaping is allowed inside the cabin or elsewhere on the property due to high fire danger in our area. We do allow smoking/ vaping on the screened porch where we provide a cigarette disposal receptacle. We do not recommend this rental for children under 12. Due to there being a pond, the occasional snake, wild animals roaming through to drink at the pond, and free roaming horses, parents are required to supervise children at all times. Also, the home is decorated with antiques and may not be suitable for some families. We do not allow use of the wood burning stove to guests with children and pets. The property is a no drone zone.
