Such care and detail in all the activities

Such care and detail in all the activities. This was a great trip especially during the pandemic. Vickie and Mickie offer so many fun activities right on their property that we felt safe our entire time there. From horseback riding, to exotic birds, days old baby goats and private cooking classes it was an amazing experience!

Vicky and Micky made everything easy

Vicky and Micky made everything easy. When we needed something they were always responsive and continued to proactively check in with us. The property was as advertised and we had a wonderful stay.

I will go back to your farm yearly if not every holiday

Thanks so much for making our stay better than we ever expected. You went way beyond our expectations and made sure we were comfortable and happy. The kids absolutely loved your animals. I have never heard them say we want to go back soon. It was always hard to get them to come inside. They usually don’t want to go outside with all the electronics kids have nowadays. I will go back to your farm yearly if not every holiday! I also want to mention the breakfast that Mickey and vickey put together for our family was way better than any 5 star restaurant. Vickey put a lot of thought and passion into her cooking and she’s a cordon blu chef to boot. Thanks for thinking of everything.

We had the best time and it was the perfect getaway

Micky was so great with my kids taking them horseback riding and showing them around the farm! My kids LOVED all the up close animal encounters - we had the best time and it was the perfect getaway!

What a lovely farm

What a lovely farm! Unfortunately the weather put a damper on my plans, but I still had a great time in this cozy cabin. It was so much fun getting to interact with the animals, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed. Great hospitality

This place is truly one to the best places we have gone as a family

This place is truly one to the best places we have gone as a family. Every touch was well thought out and added to our getaway. Loved the cabin, super loved the animals and tour of bird sanctuary and farm, riding horses through the farm was a great experience for all. We wished we could stay forever! There are not enough words to say for what a wonderful place this is, thank you Mickey and Vicky!

The cabin space is adorable

Perfect spot, perfect hosts, perfect stay. Our month-long experience at Home Away From Home Ranch was nothing short of magical and far surpassed our high expectations. THE CABIN: The cabin space is adorable. It is decorated with a rustic/out west vibe and has everything you need! The full kitchen is well equipped, Bathroom is clean and more spacious than anticipated, main bedroom has excellent wardrobe storage, and full mattress in loft space would be perfect for children. There is also good internet, a nice desk and large table for WFH or Zoom school. THE RANCH: HAFHR is heaven on earth! Friendly goats, donkeys, pups, turkeys, chickens, a pig named Bubba and more will roam right up to your cabin and interact with you. The cabins are spaced out enough for ample privacy and there is parking space galore. The paddocks are picturesque. With so many activity options, this place could never get boring. Do not skip the Exotic Bird Adventure — getting to interact personally with rare and endangered birds in their certified wildlife preserve is amazing, and the surprise at the end is fun for anyone of any age. The activity prices are fair for what you are getting and the activities are filled with thoughtful, personal touches. I wish I could live here 24/7, no kidding. This place is amazing. THE HOSTS: Micky and Vicky might just be the best hosts in the world. Trained at the world-famous Le Cordon Bleu in France, Vicky is nothing short of a master chef! She will completely personalize a meal for you, from everything from drinks to dessert. I am vegan and my boyfriend is not — she expertly navigated culinary creations that delighted us both. She takes all of your favorite things and truly creates a labor of love — the meals Vicky prepared us were some of the best of our lives. Come hungry — you will NOT want to miss her cooking!!!! (If you like Mexican food, absolutely do not pass on the chance for a home cooked authentic Mexican dinner, which was — no exaggeration — the best Mexican food of both of our lives, hands down. I am still dreaming about it.) Vicky is bubbly, thoughtful, and fantastic at what she does. As for Micky — as a full on cowboy, sharp shooter, horseback riding survivalist expert with an affinity for rare and endangered birds (one of whom can be pretty much constantly found on his shoulder, even while he is on a galloping horse...), Micky is pretty much the Most Interesting Man in the World. He is an exceptional teacher for horseback riding, shooting, animal interaction, survival classes and more. He is so full of energy and positivity! Vicky and Micky are two of the most charming and caring people on the planet. They took care of us through the winter weather crisis in Texas and always went beyond the extra mile. I cannot possibly say enough good things about these two. This is the spot you have been looking for! And if this cabin is too big or too small, check out the Home Away From Home Ranch website for more cabin options. Also check out the website for the list of activities (all are private. we did goat yoga, horseback riding lessons, sunset champagne trail ride, night hike, exotic bird adventure, friendly farm animal adventure, shooting lessons, and two custom dinner creations. I would recommend every one of them and there are even more options listed online.) We will DEFINITELY be coming back.

We had an amazing time on our extended weekend stay

We had an amazing time on our extended weekend stay. My kids loved being able to interact with the animals as well as the horseback riding. We got to go walking/hiking and overall enjoyed the great outdoors. The hosts Micky and Vicky go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable and perfect. Dining was superb provided by Mrs. Vicky. We plan on going back soon and/or making it a yearly tradition. I highly recommend you stay at Home Away Ranch if you want to unwind be treated like family and have a great vacation.
