☆☆ BEDROOM SUITES☆☆
Our soothing King and Double Queen Bed Suites can sleep 2-4 guests comfortably. Upon entry, you’ll be greeted by the sounds of wildlife and rustling oaks, the scent of lavender eucalyptus, and cool, soft linens. Each bedroom is unique and features artwork from various artists such as Fefa Koroleva, Ashvin Harrison, and Riette Delport. This finishes off the kind of luxury that tells the body, mind, and soul it is time to rest, reconnect, and maybe even heal.
Suite #9, named "Annie's Room," is what life is all about. The beginning, the journey, and the grief that touches any of us who love deeply. Laura McFarland, Natural Lifemanship COO, shares photography of her horse Annie – whom she loved and lost, and still grieves. May those who visit find comfort in our home and through our shared experiences of all that this life brings.

People come from all over the world to see our magnificent live oak trees and wildflowers - especially the bluebonnets. The full glory of spring can be witnessed during the months of March, April, and May. Winding paths guide you through to our land - including signs that lead you to our creek, horse pasture viewing, suites, and landing points after travel. Hotwalker Swings and a Magical Fairy Garden are under construction.
“May you be at home here. May you be safe and protected. May you be strong and resilient. May you find ease. May the horses and the natural environment call to you, the way they do us. May you find the stability and sureness of belonging that the trees and all of nature experience. May you find ‘peace of heart and creativity of imagination’ here in this place.” - Natural Lifemanship
