A Quiet Escape Arriving at the charming cottage, you’ll immediately feel the pull of nature, inviting you to leave the bustle of modern life behind. This cozy retreat for two offers everything you need to disconnect. Set in peaceful surroundings, the cottage boasts a kitchenette with an induction stove and a medium fridge, while a BBQ grill and pond with a fountain complete the tranquility.
The surrounding woods offer nature walks, stargazing, and a seasonal pool, ideal for unwinding. Policy details, such as a minimum 2-night stay and no pets, will be shared after arrival.
Inside, the cottage is simple and comforting—clean lines, soft light, and everything you need for unrushed days. The kitchenette is made for ease: an induction two burner hot plate for a skillet breakfast, a microwave for quick warm-ups, and a medium fridge with a freezer to stash your groceries. When you arrive, you’ll find a few bare essentials waiting—enough to settle in before a short drive into Jasper for a proper shop at Walmart or Brookshire Brothers. Bring the foods you love; cook at your pace; let mealtime be part of the ritual.
Step outside and the property opens around you. The pond shimmers with a fountain, and if you bring a line, the catch and release fishing is a quiet joy. In season, the swimming pool cools the afternoons, and the nature trails thread through the pines in that soft, resin-scented way the woods have. There’s chopped wood by the BBQ grill for slow, smoky dinners, and a communal fireplace area where conversations stretch and stars feel closer than they did in the city.
If you want more than rest, there’s learning and craft woven into the stay. By the creek, hammock slow and water quiet, a massage can loosen what travel or life has tensed. You can sink your hands into clay in a pottery session

I stopped here to tent camp as the perfect halfway point on a trip. The first time I was greeted by friendly dogs and cute animals but didn’t know where to go and it was getting dark, so i set up by the barn and felt odd. The second time I met the host and I realized there was a road that went along the water and had little private camp sites, which i could drive right up too. It was so nice and beautiful! And much quieter over there. Alyssa was so sweet and awesome. I appreciated having the nice indoor bathroom. This was my first time solo camping and I felt really comfortable there. I adored all the animals. They are so fun and cute. I want to go back and visit them some time!

A small rv park, quaint and quiet on the two week nights I was there. Shower had nice hot water. Customer Service was wonderful, made sure I had what I needed. There is a little pool even! There are some activities if you bring a group, a volleyball net. I think i saw a bridge to a trail, though I didn't explore. Neighbors were friendly and courteous. Great stop over!

Ahhh this place is so special and unique !! My first time staying in an animal sanctuary. You can tell the animals are incredibly happy there and treated well as everyone of them is friendly, including the emus which is not something I expected! The property is beautiful and Alyssa is incredibly sweet and welcoming. The stars of the show are definitely the animals, the cutest tiniest little piglet I ever seen called snoot, two beautiful horses, big fluffy dogs that’s love people, a pack of goats that are so funny to watch. There are also ducks, roosters, pigs.
This is a must go to for any animal

What a charming sanctuary that the residents share with us hip campers. Horses, emus pot belly pigs and more roam freely. My site was private and faced a pond. The bathroom was lovely. Recycling a plus! If I had been a young person looking to learn about taking care of animals and gardening, I would have stayed forever. But I am old, did all that already and it's time to go home.

We loved our stay! It was a quick overnight on a long road trip but the animal sanctuary caught our attention!
You do need to make sure you have clear expectations. It's not a typical campground. The family home is part of it and the bathroom and shower are separate but attached to the main home.
Each camp site it private and have a couple different options for amenities depending what you are looking for. From primitive camp to tent provided!
There is an extra sink, counter and microwave accessible as well.
The animals are all over. The dogs are sooooo sweet and lovey. There are goats, emus, turkeys, chickens, roosters, peacocks, horses, cats, dogs.
We did arrive late at night it was dark and despite the very clear instructions for arrival we struggled finding the camp spots. The hosts responded quickly and guided us to our options!
It was an amazing experience. It was quiet peaceful and beautifully dark! We would definitely return!

It was good for value but nothing exciting. Kids loved the animals roaming everywhere but the RV powered sites are right at the entrance of the property, little charm. There is only one 30 Amp outlet so if the other site is using it, bad luck. There is no water connecting near by either, hoses are available from the house but we did not feel comfortable to get a use them. Host did not respond to any of our messages via Hipcamp and when we arrived and called to know where to go, the phone line was disconnected. So we had to go knocking. We did not feel welcome really.
Price was good though and it might be an oasis (as describe) when camping a little more in but from the site we had, it was just a parking spot.
