This was an awesome experience for our young grandchildren. They learned so much about the animals and loved their first ever horse ride. There was a nice playground, hills and rocks. Things we don’t have at home. I would definitely do it again.

1 night at Mockingbird Farms
It was a quiet and pleasant stay. We stayed in the 2 person bunkhouse which was very cozy. The farm had some very friendly horses, goats and donkeys that we could feed treats to.
The kitchen in the farmhouse was also well stocked with utensils, coffee, and seasonings.
The pool was very refreshing in the hot sun.
The host was also extremely helpful in calling us and providing all details and responding to our texts during the stay.

This place was great. It’s very secluded so get ready to get away. Bring most everything you need, you get a/c in the cabins, a fridge, stove, and out house. There are some basic cookware items but not a ton. The sky is impeccable at night, everything is quiet, and the fire wood is abundant. No fish which kinda stinks but the water is nice on a hot day. We only tried the water near our green cabin to swim with the dogs and it was low it seemed. Great place with dogs as they can be off leash. There are hogs around the area so be mindful at night. 7/10 for sure if you are looking to unplug.

3 nights at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort
The cabins were super awesome! Very clean and well stocked. The roads leading up to some higher cabins were pretty steep and rocky so be weary of driving your car up there if you plan to move your stuff directly to the cabin. Other than that it is very nice and well put together, I highly recommend to anyone wanting to do outdoorsy things in the area!

“Fritz’s land is such a wonderful experience. Just the drive to the cabin gave us a surreal overlanding feel with fun river crossings—perfect even for beginners. The kids loved every bit of the trip. While we chose the cabin for access to hot water and power, we all ended up tent camping and had an awesome time. The land, the people, and the animals were all amazing. We can’t wait to visit again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable getaway.

Weekend Trip to Mockingbird Farms
Where do we start? The Boo Radley Bunkhouse was absolutely perfect — the bed was comfortable, and the space was cute, cozy, and well-equipped. The outdoor shower (with hot water!!) was great. And the path from the bunkhouse to the bathroom was easy to follow, which was a plus since we showed up late at night and had to find our way around. Cait and her merry band of misfits (engaging family, escape artist goats, and other two- and four- legged friends) kept us frequently entertained, but also gave us space to enjoy our anniversary trip undisturbed. We got lucky with the weather and got to light a campfire and look at the stars, but I don't think hearing rain on the bunkhouse's tin roof would've been too bad either. We will definitely be back!!!
Highly recommend making the 45ish minute drive to Freidrich Wilderness Park as well — we saw/ heard several endangered birds, and the varied terrain (especially the Vista Loop) made for unexpectedly good hiking so close to San Antonio.

Weekend Trip to Mockingbird Farms
Mockingbird Farms is beautiful, safe, and serene. We had everything we needed in the bunkhouse for “glamping,” but I think tent camping here would also be a great experience. The farm has donkeys, horses, and goats — they are all super gentle and love people, and the host gave us animal crackers to feed them! Everything was very comfortable — plenty of hot water in the outdoor shower, AC unit in the bunkhouse, super comfortable bed. The host Cait was great to communicate with before the trip, and we got to visit with her for a bit on the property, she is so nice! Quick, easy access to the nearby towns (Somerset and Poteet) for meals and gas / dollar stores if you forgot to pack something. I believe this property would be very safe for solo campers, as well. I can’t recommend Mockingbird Farms enough — we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Laf ranch
This cabin is perfect, tucked among tall trees, completely peaceful, and beautifully secluded. It’s the perfect place to unwind, enjoy nature, and feel truly away from it all. Can’t wait to come back!

We stayed here over Spring Break and had the best time! My kids said they wanted to stay forever, they said it was dreamy to have had the “biggest backyard in the world” The house it it cute and cozy, exactly like you can see in the pictures.
Even though the river water was low, my kids were able to play there and we all made wonderful memories.

Fritz's LAF Ranch is a truly beautiful piece of Texas. We went there with our dog to have some solitude in nature and just enjoy the outdoors and our expectations were exceeded. The ranch feels like a place removed from time, as you are several miles off the paved road and surrounded by tall hills cut on the sides with dramatic sheer cliffs. We enjoyed hiking, swimming and all the traditional camping activities at the green cabin site, which has everything you need and nothing you don't. Fritz himself provided an outstanding stay with world class hospitality. We enjoyed the cheeseburgers that he made us, and he delivered a very generous portion of firewood to our site. The best part may have been the staggering amount of space we had access to and allowing our dog to run around free of any constraints. We hope to return to the Ranch one day soon!

The Boo Radley Bunkhouse is so lovely, you can't call it camping! I would classify the experience as glamping++. Cait was the ideal host and took time to familiarize me with the area and what to expect over the phone before I arrived. The property is absolutely beautiful with happy animals to eat all of the (approved) goodies you can feed them. I brought my dog and she had the time of her life watching the horses, goats, and donkeys and running free which is rare, as she is a city doggo. We both slept very, very well. The outdoor shower and bath are something everyone should experience, if they enjoy a touch of luxury with their bucolic experience, of course. I could have spent hours enjoying that space. Thank you for a fabulous and peaceful escape, Cait. I'll be spreading the word and can't wait for another trip to your farm!

3 nights at The Charmadillo: Glamping Resort
I had a great time at Sarah’s place! I stayed in an A-frame cabin and it was perfect for a week stay in hill country. The sauna was perfect for the cold winter temps, and the stars were incredible every night. Not to mention the amazing amenities from the kitchen to the in-cabin mini-fridge and coffee bar! I’ll be recommending her place to anyone looking to have a memorable experience in central Texas.
