Play a round on our brand-new 9-hole disc golf course, Warbler Trails, designed to wind through the scenic landscape. Don’t have discs? No problem — we have them available at the Farm Store.

Stroll through our seasonal You Pick 'Em Flower Garden, bursting with colorful blooms all summer long. Guests are welcome to cut their own fresh bouquet to enjoy during their stay or take home. Limited to seasonal availability- March/April- October/November.

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.

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!
