Escape the hustle and bustle of busy city life in this country retreat on a working farm with chickens, bees, and goats. Our guesthouse includes a bedroom with queen sized bed, full kitchen, bathroom, and living area with queen sized pull-out couch. You'll have your own covered patio and chiminea, surrounded by ten acres of sustainable farm and natural areas. Hiking trails, country lane strolls, biking, antiquing, great sunsets. This is an inclusive listing - everyone is welcome in this space. The space We've lived on these magical ten acres for the past six years, pouring our sweat and tears into slowly transforming this land into a permaculture paradise. You'll be able to explore our garden, laugh at our free range chickens that forage in the orchard, hike around the pond full of croaking frogs, and enjoy deep, solid sleep that you just can't get in the bright city lights. PLEASE NOTE: This is a country setting. As such, there may be more outdoor bugs (ants, wasps, flies) and smells than are typically experienced in the city. Country life is quiet, and the sky seems bigger. You can look forward to awesome sunsets and starry filled nights. We provide linens, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, coffee, tea, sugar, dish soap, sponges, dish towels, and fresh eggs when available. The guesthouse has sustainable denim insulation, reclaimed building materials, and a renewable energy power plan. So come getaway and enjoy the country life in your own little home. Elgin has lots of small town charm, with well curated vintage spots, restaurants, a fantastic coffee shop, and more. It's worth a visit downtown. FOR DOG OWNERS - Dogs are welcome, but if they roam far from the guesthouse area they will need to be on a leash. We have guard dogs with the goats. To keep everyone safe, please keep your dog leashed if approach the goat pen. Guest access We have ten acres to explore, including a pond, garden, chicken coop, orchard, and wooded areas. We have some small pathways, but the more adventurous souls will require proper attire and bug spray for hiking through the wooded areas to slow flowing creek. There are full time RV tenants living on the property and the owners. You will have your own patio and parking area, but there will be other people on site. Our property is secure and accessible with a gate code. Hopefully being "unplugged" is part of what attracts you to staying with us but we do have "country" wireless (that can be slow at times) and all cell phones providers do work here. Other things to note This listing is in Elgin, TX, about 30 minutes east of Austin. Dogs live onsite. They are friendly but give a loud, warning bark to strangers.
