Other Details to Note

Livestock (including cattle, chickens, pigs, goats, and the guard donkey, Zoey) roam the ranch. We ask kindly that you not approach the cattle or chickens, but the rest are all very keen on head scratches and pets! Chances are you'll see deer, armadillos, and lots of wild birds. We sometimes see other native wildlife like such as quail, turkey, coyote, feral hogs, fox and bobcats. There have been some rare sightings of mountain lion in the past but as long as you are aware and prepared it’s nothing to worry about. Lastly, we are in the Texas hill country where rattle snakes and copperheads live. They are easy to avoid as long as you are aware. If spotted up by a house, please contact the host so that we can safely remove them for you!

Accessibility

Neighborhood

High Hope Ranch is located south west of the small town Glen Rose. We are in the country with miles in-between us and our neighbors, one of which happens to be Fossil Rim Safari Park. It's secluded enough here to be able to see the Milky Way at night but close enough to town that you can grab the essentials in 15 or so minutes. There are a few residents who live and work on the ranch you may bump into but if you are seeking total privacy you can easily achieve that as well.

Guest Access

Habari is within High Hope Ranch, a 900 acre ranch that shares a fence line with Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. Guests have access to all 900 acres of the ranch including landmarks like the Stone Circle, Star Pad, Goat Cave, Sunset Cliff, and are of course welcome to arrange a tour to visit the working Farm on property. Guests have full access to Habari House and all hiking trails. Guests are welcome to rent our studio or other houses for their private use such as weddings, retreats, and more.

Brandi was an amazing host, the house was perfect for our trip, and the location was beautiful. It is close enough to fun things that you aren’t wasting a ton of time getting from place to place, but still far enough out that you feel like you have miles and miles of Texas to yourself. The house had everything we needed, the farm animals provided fun entertainment for the kids, and a visit from one of the ranch dogs was a welcome break for a quick game of fetch. We will definitely look to see if Brandi has the house available for our next trip.

Fantastic stay! Feeding the goats was such a fun activity, and there’s so much to do on the property. Zoey the guard donkey melted our hearts! Owners were extremely friendly, accommodating, and communicative.

This is a great stay just a bit out from Glen Rose. It is a very spacious house with plenty of beds. The drive out to the ranch was also scenic. The stay was exactly as described!

We had an unforgettable stay at Habari House. Brandi was incredibly responsive and helpful- she is an excellent host. We all loved Habari House- it is the perfect place to drop in deep and experience the relaxing power of nature. There is a wonderful living room with books and board games. Sitting on the great porch, we enjoyed the sound of birds and the view of a peaceful pond. The spring wildflowers were abundant and my children enjoyed finding ladybugs, mushrooms, dragonflies, and a seeing all kinds of birds from the house Thank you Brandi, we had a wonderful time!!!

Our stay at Habari house was excellent! From the clean and comfortable house to the activities, everything was just right! We especially enjoyed learning about the feeding and raising of all the different animals. We are certainly new to ranch life. Bring your family to the ranch to explore the hiking trails and starry nights. Oh and of course shopping in the ranch store! Everyone we encountered on the ranch was friendly and available to answer questions. The huge garden is currently being tilled and it won't be long before the fresh veggies and flowers will be ready! We will definitely return to the Habari house for another family get away!

Brandi was super friendly, able to quickly and mindless address any issues that arose, and it was so fun for the kids to play with the ranch dog and be able to roam the ranch with the animals. It was perfect.
