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!

House Rules

The posted rate is for 10 guests. We ask an extra guest fee of $25 per night, per guest over 10. Please let us know how many people will be staying so we can accommodate you. As a wildlife sanctuary we ask that you respect quiet hours between 10pm and 6am. All guests must sign a risk release form before or upon arrival. Our houses are all non-smoking, however we have ashtrays outside on the patios. If you are a smoker, please do so outside and dispose of your butts in the ashtrays!

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 1000 acre ranch that shares a fence line with Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. Guests have access to all 1000 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.

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!
