Unwind and take in the most breathtaking Texas sunsets on the front porch of the Agape Cottage located on a real working farm in the enchanting Sam Houston National Forest. Take a deep breath, unwind and relax, spend some time in silence, immerse yourself in nature or make friends with the farm locals: cows, horses, sheep, goats, donkeys, alpacas, bunnies, pigs and more. It will be an unforgettable experience with memories that will last a lifetime! Agape Farms is a working farm located in the Sam Houston National Forest with a wide variety of animals including alpacas, goats, sheep, chickens, quail, rabbits, turkey, ducks, cows, horses, miniature donkeys, dogs, cats and a pair of crazy emus named Ross and Rachel. Guests have full access to the Agape Cottage located at the back of the farm facing three of four small stocked ponds located on the secluded 15 acre property. The tiny cottage has two open bedroom lofts above the shared kitchenette and living room. No detail was spared in the kitchen which has a small but full size refrigerator, pantry area, seasonings, dishes, flatware, electric induction cooktop, a large countertop convection oven, electric griddle, single cup Keurig or regular drip coffee maker, an espresso maker, along with a mini egg boiler and rice cooker. The bathroom has a large shower and composting toilet. The front porch has a charming bistro table to sit and enjoy a spectacular pasture and pond view. Once the sun sets, music erupts from the forest with the sounds of nature to lure you to sleep in your quiet little cottage on a little farm in the woods. Guests are welcome to join farm chores & tours which occur, open to the public, at 10:00 am every Friday until 1pm. Free for our Cottage guests, tours begin at the Agape Farms farmhouse store located at the front of the property which also offers drinks, snacks, popsicles, travel amenities and fresh products and artisanal goods from various other local farms around Texas. We do not have anyone currently living on property but please do not hesitate to give us a call if you need anything, we do not live far. If we are unable to be reached, please call or text our co-host Brittany Teel for a quicker response. Surrounded by the best kept secret in Texas: The Sam Houston National Forest, Agape Farms and the Agape Cottage is located 20 minutes north of the little town of Montgomery and 20 minutes south of the bustling town of Huntsville, 35 minutes from Conroe, Magnolia and Tomball, 45 minutes to The Woodlands and Tomball, and just over an hour north of downtown Houston. The Agape Cottage sits just 6 miles from the stunning and open to the public, West Sandy Creek Winery and Texas Star Winery and within 30 minutes of several other local wineries (Bernhardt, H Wines, BE Winery, The Ferm Meadery, Golden Oak Micro Cellar and more). Only 12 miles away, the antiquing, boutiquing and dining in Montgomery is a must do if you have the time. The college town of Huntsville just 20 miles away, is home of the Sam Houston State University Bearkat's, along with the closest Walmart, Target and tons of other retail stores, restaurants, events and activities. Lake Conroe has an endless variety of water sports, events and activities throughout the year. Rent a watercraft and spend the day on the lake, or spend some time fishing for bass or catfish before returning for a peaceful evening in the cottage. The turn off Bethel Road to get to the cottage is marked by a dirt/rock easement road with three mailboxes at the entrance and a small Agape Farms / Two Tables sign. Once you've turned in, pass the old farmhouse on your left, at the front of the property, then pass the farm animals, paddocks and pastures, and then turn left in to the private driveway entrance, just before a closed iron gate. Drive past the owners home (on your right) and follow the dirt road through 2 metal farm gates and around to the left you'll see the Agape Cottage alone surrounded by a small group of beautiful Live Oaks. Parking is available anywhere around the cottage. This is a real life working farm so please be mindful of the animals and their safety. Do not feed them anything that isn't given to you by us. They will try to convince you that they are starving but they are not, we promise. We also have fully stocked ponds. It is catch and release only. Please watch for snakes and other wildlife.
