Before Houston and I purchased the property that is now Purdon Groves, the previous owner, Freddie Eads, put a lot of hard work and love into hand clearing the acreage and thoughtfully creating manicured groves and open pastures. We want to continue pouring that kind of care into Purdon Groves, specifically by handcrafting experiences for our guests - experiences where they are inspired to connect, retreat, celebrate and create.

Tents were nice and big with lots of detail to extras from chairs and books to blankets and lanterns. Hosts were very sweet. The animals were sweet, too. My teenage children had a great time unplugged.

Peaceful and relaxing time!
We loved our experience at SageBrush! Sherry and her husband Houston were very accommodating. We got to walk around the property and see all the animals which they were all friendly. Samson, their dog was super friendly and came and hung out with my wife and I cuddling near the fire and asking for belly rubs…of course he also smelled the steaks I was cooking 😄. We had such a great time and would recommend it to anyone that is trying to get away from the city and noise pollution and just relax. We are already trying to plan another trip out and bring our kids this time. Thank you to Sherry and her husband Houston they were great with everything and super helpful.

Had a great time from start to finish. Sherry and Houston provided all the information needed upfront, including weather related updates. I had fun talking to them, hearing their story and their future plans for the property. Throughout the trip, they answered any questions I had right away. The tent was comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The site had everything listed on the page. The animals were all very friendly and fun to be around. The donkey & goat gang was my fav and of course the dogs. I will definitely be back!

Love this place. Sherry and Houston are responsive and wonderful hosts. Never too busy to take time to talk to the kids and include them in the day today of farm life.

A wonderful time!
We took our grandkids to Purdon Groves and it was a great experience. It’s quiet, peaceful, and fun to have the animals around. It was HOT when we went, so the AC and fans in the tent were welcomed and effective! We loved the farm tour as well. I can see the vision they have for their property, coming to fruition in the best way. Go. You’ll enjoy it.

Glamping with the Animals
We had such a fun time glamping. The safari tent was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. The surroundings were very peaceful. Getting to spend some time seeing the animals were such a treat. ❤ Sampson. I would recommend!!

Perfect family camp out
We had a wonderful stay in the Bell tent at Purdon Groves. The tent was the perfect size with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable camp out. The animals on the farm were so precious, we never wanted to leave!

Such a great experience for our family. Our second stay with them was even better than the first. My kids loved helping feed the animals and exploring the land. The bell tent was super comfortable even when it got down to 20 degrees on night two. Best hosts I’ve ever met in all my years camping!

It was a good experience because we got to see the baby pigs! It was a cozy place to sleep at. I loved how we got to see the donkey walking around freely. The owner was very friendly and kind. I loved how quiet it was. I would definitely go there again! 100% recommend!!!

We spent two nights glamping at Purdon Groves and had a wonderful time! Our tent came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay (including optional add-ons), and we enjoyed every minute of our peaceful, relaxing weekend. Sherry and Houston are so warm and welcoming, and they provided an excellent tour of the farm - highly recommend! You can tell they love what they do and really want their guests to have a positive experience. One of our favorite parts was their dog, Samson, who greeted us as soon as we pulled in at night and walked us to our tent. We felt so safe knowing he was always on the property, checking in on us and the other animals regularly. It's incredible seeing how much work they've put in to build this place. We definitely plan to return in the future and can't wait to see how much more it develops!

Unique and peaceful stay
Purdon Groves was an excellent stay. Beds were comfy, loved having the solo fire pits. Very quiet and peaceful. Loved the garden items you could purchase for your stay. An hour away from the magnolia Silos in Waco. Loved playing with their dog Sam and their mules. Unique stay and would recommend it to anyone. Can’t wait to come again.

Phenomenal
Writing this review almost feels like a disservice due to the fact there are no words to accurately describe how amazing this little pocket of tranquility really is. Simply put... The experience is phenomenal and I would 100% reccomend this to anyone- as a solo trip or as a family/group of friends. Truly unforgettable. Thank you Sherry and Houston for making us feel welcomed and truly at home. David M.

This was the perfect little getaway. So private but with so much space to spread out. The hosts Houston and Sherry were so kind to us, and the big dog Samson kept us company. Saw our first donkey dust bath. Will definitely be coming back.

What a wonderful getaway! Sherry & Houston are very kind hosts. They were responsive and attentive to our needs. The tent is very spacious and pleasant. The bed was quite comfortable, the heater provided a great night of sleep for a winter night, everything was clean and well thought of. The property is beautiful and fun. We hope to make it a family tradition - camping at Purdon Groves!

BIG DOG FRIENDLY!!!! Totally worth.
Purdon Groves was PHENOMENAL. I have an English Mastiff and I spent weeks trying to find a place that would allow us to bring him. Not only was Sherry happy about having him, but my dog had such a blast with her Great Pyrenees, Samson. The tent was so dreamy and beautiful. Sherry also sent us a big list of dog friendly places that we could go in town. I'm so grateful for this spot!! We'll definitely be back.

This was the coolest spot! We loved all the glamp-y amenities (fridge, heat, etc.) as we were passing through in the winter and didn’t have all of our camping gear. Sherry was super responsive and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed and more. The stars here were INCREDIBLE and we cooked dinner over the fire. In the morning we walked around the property to say hey to the donkeys and pigs and took in the peaceful scenery. Truly lovely— wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect!
Amazing experience. Directions were clear. Tent was organized and clean. Hosts were very attentive and they thought of every little detail to make your glamping experience a wonderful one. We used rubber boots (it was raining) and there was plenty of space on the deck to remove mud before entering tent. Heater worked perfectly. Beds were very nice. Loved the donkeys, pigs, and the dog. My dogs really enjoyed playing in the surroundings. First night, it rained and we loved just listening to the sound of the rain and making puzzles. So relaxing. Just what we needed and more! Will definitely return in the spring.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was absolutely wonderful, the tent was beautiful and cosy, clean, well equipped with all basic facilities. outdoor toilet was also very clean and well lit! Sherry and Houston are gracious hosts and super welcoming, it was lovely to meet them and talk to them about their farm and sustainable hydroponic farming gardens. Our 10 year old daughter and our dog also had a blast time on the farm tour with all the wonderful animals that reside on the property. We highly recommend this place! We definitely plan to visit it more often.

Magical escape from the city
Sherry and Houston were extremely friendly hosts and very respectful of our privacy during the stay. The tent was spacious and as comfortable as you could possibly imagine one to be, even in 90° + and humid conditions. The grounds are peaceful, and the animals are extremely friendly. Be prepared for some elements of roughing it, like the shower and toilet, but for a camping experience you can’t get much better than the set up at Purdon Groves.

Great glamping getaway
My husband, dog, and I had a wonderful stay at Purdon Groves! It was immaculate and everything we were hoping for to escape the city. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly donkeys. The tent is picturesque and beautifully decorated. Everything was spotless and clean. The bed was so comfortable. It feels like you are staying in a nice hotel room. We spent a lot of our time outside by the fire cooking and eating s'mores. Also on our last day we had a tour of the farm with Sherry and Houston who are great people and explained so much about the property. We hope to visit again and look forward to seeing the growth of the farm! So happy we stayed here!
