Our soothing King and Double Queen Bed Suites can sleep 2-4 guests comfortably.

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.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

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

Tim & Bettina's Favorites

Here are some favorite spots from Tim, Bettina, and the NL Family:

• Tabu Tacos & Burgers in Downtown Brenham - The best mahi mahi taco EVER. It absolutely melts in your mouth! Street Tacos are great as well. Portions are small.
• Los Cabos in Brenham is great Tex-Mex, free soft serve ice cream for dessert
• Los Patrones in Burton is quaint Tex-Mex, free soft serve ice cream for dessert
•Smitty's is unique and delish - it's a converted convenience store and has great food. Southern comfort food.
•Truth Bar-B-Q is some of the best Central Texas Bar-B-Q in the entire world. If you're new to Texas Bar-B-Q the smoked brisket is a must have. They are only open Thursday-Sunday and they serve food until they sell out for the day.
• LJ's Bar-B-Q is almost as good as Truth's, but they have really delicious specials, quite frequently. They are open more often than Truth. • Blue Bell Ice Cream Parlor is a MUST - one scoop of icecream for $1. Inflation doesn't happen there!
• Yumm! Sweets and Eats in Downtown Brenham has food and a lovely candy shop - our kids love it! Delicious fudge.
• Uncorked in Downtown Brenham is a wine bar and grill , and it’s delicious with a romantic ambiance.  Tim and Bettina’s number one choice for date night!

Our Welcome book includes local events, stores, and other needs.  But we hope you enjoy adventuring and tasting these magical places!
