About this property

Private cabin on alpaca farm - Cabin #2

The well equipped kitchen includes all cookware and dishes for your entire stay, whether it's a weekend or a week! Fast Wifi is provided by Starlink.

Want to get that true grounding experience? This is a working farm. Morning and evening chores are a great time to get close to the animals. Connect with the owners about shadowing them during these times to learn more about the goings on at the farm. Guests should be comfortable around large dogs. Our Livestock Guardian Dogs have access to the entire farm 24/7.

No matter what the weather brings, the property is in the path of many migrating birds. The State Park (Lake Corpus Christi Recreational Area) is located a short drive away. The Bayfront at Corpus Christi is 35 miles from the farm, with the Northwest edge of the city just 26 miles. Padre Island National Seashore is another 25 miles from the city. Other points of interest are the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (60 miles) and Rockport (50 miles). The King Ranch is 40 miles to the south east. And San Antonio is 90 miles to the North. The farm is only 4 miles from the small town of Mathis and 12 miles from Orange Grove, Tx. You'll find grocery stores, restaurants, gas and other shops in both. It is also about a 15 minute drive from some of the more popular wedding venues, such as Dancing Elk Lodge.

Our family loved this stay!

Our hosts made this whole stay absolutely wonderful! Our cabin was super clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we could need including fresh breakfast items and snacks for the kids. The ranch is beautiful. We loved seeing the Milky Way on clear nights and the animals in the morning. The highlight was being introduced to the alpacas, rams and turkeys. We’ll remember this trip fondly, and we’ve already recommended the cabin to friends and family who visit the area.

Amazing Full Immersion Visit

Lyn and Andrew were incredible. They took the time to show us so much more than we expected. We got to help feed, take samples, and learned the ins/outs of raising alpaca and sheep. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Great experience!

Lyn and Mark are terrific hosts. They really make your stay a warm and happy one. The cottage is everything you could possibly want. We could watch the alpaca right outside from the back deck as well as see the beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend this holiday. We travelled about 2500 miles to be there and we are thrilled that we did. Thanks Lyn and Mark.

A great place and great owners

I enjoyed my stay very much, my goal was for rest and relaxation and it was wonderful. All the beautiful animals were fun to be around, including precious dogs, alpacas, sheep, rosters, chickens, turkeys and turtles. The owners were great and very kind and helpful, I enjoyed getting to know Lyn and Mark and their son Andrew. A really bad storm came over and I got to see the most beautiful rainbow I'd ever seen. The cabin was beautiful and filled with goodies I wasn't expecting. Their was candy, snacks, oatmeal, bagels, butter, you name it. It's a great place to kick back and just relax and enjoy. I didn't think I could do without my computer, but I was wrong and glad I disconnected for 4 days. I hope to go back again at some point. I highly recommend Gulf Breeze. It's not a place for swimming pools and fancy rides, but it's a great place to unplug and just sit and enjoy animals and nature, have fun and relax.

About the host

Hosted by Lyn Christoph

Host profile image

Lyn and Mark have owned and operated the Gulf Breeze Alpaca (and Sheep) Ranch at Lake Corpus Christi near Mathis since 2007. Soon after welcoming her alpacas home, Lyn developed skills in processing their fiber herself, starting with learning how to shear them. After learning how to shear and process her own fiber into batts, roving and yarn, Lyn opened her shop and studio where she teaches spinning, knitting and wet felting & needle felting. She offers hand made and commercially made items and yarn in her shop at the ranch. Mark and Lyn offer tours of the ranch to groups and families throughout the year. This year they have added vacation rentals to the mix.

Why they chose this property

The Christophs sought a piece of land within a 50 mile radius of their home in Corpus Christi where they could get away on weekends. They found this spot, a five acre tract of unimproved land that was located across the road from Lake Corpus Christi and immediately fell in love with the area. After purchasing the land in 2000, they spent weekends using a travel trailer, later to build a house, where they live now. They purchased additional 10 acres in 2008, and the 15 acres that connected it all together in 2010.

What makes this property unique

The property is located within the flight paths of many migrating birds. There are many beautiful birds that live in the area year round. Green Jays, Kiskadees, Mockingbirds, many different finches and water fowl make their home in the area surrounding the lake. Wildlife is abundant, especially since the State Park is located less than 2 miles to the South of the property, there is also a Nature Preserve that runs along the river on both sides of the Wesley Seal Dam. Being within 50 miles of the Gulf Coast, the property enjoys cooling breezes coming from the Gulf waters, a semi-tropical environment. Being also on the edge of the dry line gives the property some semi-arid benefits such as a little dryer days in the summer.

No matter what time of year, the benefits of living and working in the country are incalculable.
