    Safari tour- you can feed the big bison / Buffalo if you want!
    Grace C.

    We went back for a second visit because we loved our first visit so much! Only ~1 hour from Houston, it's an excellent destination for either a family or adults only trip or maybe even a group/company retreat -- you can unplug and enjoy each other's company, also do some outdoorsy stuff. We enjoyed so much! - a safari feeding tour - bison, deer, emu, and more! - barn games (including axe and knife throwing, hula hoops, mini basketball hoop, corn hole, ring toss, and more) - animal feeding tour (lemurs, donkeys, goats, sheep) - s'mores - climbing trees - canoeing on the lake We didn't get to do these this year but they also had packages including kites you can fly and also horseback riding for kids or adults. There is also a fishing package. Cell service is spotty or lacking, but it's all the more excuse to unplug and enjoy your getaway. There is free wifi in their Show Barn (central location where they keep some of the animals and have a bathroom and optional games to play for a fee) but no wifi in the individual lodgings. Even in the middle of a covid surge, it would be peachy bc each party has their own individual cabin / house / RV. Only thing to note for those with babies or young children - some of their lodgings are vintage/restored (first half of the 1900s) so they may have lead paint or dust in or around those particular houses. We stayed at their Star View Cowboy Cabin, and it was perfect for our family of 4, with room for more. Last year, we stayed at their Texas Farm House, and that was awesome too but probably had lead paint/lead dust, which I didn't think of at the time.

    I decided to take our little on a non brach vacation and this seemed like the perfect place to get away and relax. I booked online and picked the Lehman house solely based on the adorable photos. We were shocked when we realized this adorable house was a 4 bedroom, 2 story cottage. The kids ran around picking a room. I spent about an hour looking at every piece of furniture and decorations. We're a family of with two small kids ages 6 and 9. We bought the kid package, the animal feeding package, and the safari tour. We also rented a golf cart, which I highly recommended. The golf cart, and animal safari were the absolute best part of this magical vacation. We will definitely come back and visit.

    Best place on earth! I go often. Great staff. Plenty of privacy. Many activities to do. Archery, safari, horse riding, and much more!

    Beautiful 12-point deer

    Blisswood, a unique experience in the woods of southeast Texas. The approach to BlissWood was a step away from everyday life, revealing peace and serenity as we passed huge moss-covered trees that opened up to pastures with beautiful white Paso Fino horses grazing. Our Mystic Woods cabin set back in the thicket was cozy, warm, and inviting. The outdoor spa and shower were a bonus. The Safari Ride got us up close and personal to hand-feed bison, deer, emu, and miniature burros. Really enjoyed the trail-ride, and the horse I rode, Duke, had an easy gait, and extreme responsiveness was a plus. Archery with the sun beginning to set was enhanced by the new families of goats in the pen, the horses galloping by in the pasture, and the curiosity of the miniature burros coming by to check us out. Carol, the owner, was always accessible and accommodating. The Guest Service director, Skeeter, was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and vigilant during the Safari ride, and more. Jessica was a great trail guide. This was a most memorable experience, and we recommend it most highly to any seeking a tranquil getaway in a ranch setting filled with many optional activities. We plan on returning soon ourselves.

    A review I wish I had been able to read Let me start by saying that this review is of the Texas Farmhouse. I can't speak for the other accommodations and I don't want to dissuade people from trying those. However, this is the kind of information that I would have liked to read as I was trying to decide whether or not this was the right spot for us for our weekend getaway. The ranch is beautiful but it feels tired. Our horseback ride was fun but, unlike it is shown on the website, we walked our horses single file for an hour. We enjoyed exploring the ranch by golf cart--especially seeing the exotic animals. The owner was very nice throughout the booking process. Skeeter, who seems to run all the on site operations, was so friendly and helpful--it is clear that he loves the ranch. The Texas Farmhouse is listed as a "restored" house. It is full of interesting antiques and is surrounded by a beautiful fenced garden and trees. But when you walk in, you will find that the house is not in the condition shown on the website. "Restored" isn't exactly accurate, as the house looks and smells very old--not in a state of "restoration." If you are someone who is sensitive to smell, this WiLL bother you. Old is not an excuse for dirty--and it just felt dirty. Paint is peeling off the walls throughout the house--a health hazard? A "restored" home can be filled with old, beautiful things, but also be clean and fresh. When we first walked in it was obvious that the house had not been thoroughly cleaned that day as there were large dead cockroaches in the kitchen and living room. As I was sitting in the living room I noticed a spider the size of a golf ball on one of the chairs. At that point I was about ready to call it quits, but my husband killed the spider and we pressed on. We wanted to be positive! The air conditioning did not work upstairs and the small cooling fan placed in the bedroom was completely ineffective. If you cannot sleep in a hot room, this WILL bother you. Fortunately, we had the house to ourselves and so we could sleep downstairs with 2 fans blowing on us. Actually, sleep didn't really happen for me. The bedding was nice but the bed was not comfortable for us and so between the smell, the thought of the bugs and spiders, the bed, and the fan noise, I was up most of the night, and we opted to go home early so we didn't lose our whole weekend trying to relax in a place that frankly was not relaxing. It was just too hot to spend the majority of our time outside. This ranch has glowing reviews online. Perhaps if I had come into the weekend thinking more of camping than staying at a highly recommended bed and breakfast farmhouse it might have been a better experience. We ordered the entire meal package and while the food was adequate, I simply do not think it was worth what we paid. The owner was kind enough to refund the cost of the dinner we missed. Between the accommodations and the food, when I think about how much we spent on our shortened weekend, I have to say am really disappointed. I wish the ranch owners and staff all the best but hope they will find a way to make major improvements.

    Such a cutie

    Absolutely Amazing First off let me say the staff was extremely hospitable, Skeeter with an S is the nicest, sweetest man on earth, Kirby was a gem, thank you for the smooth horseback ride. Carole, not only is your property absolutely beautiful you were very informative, accommodating and professional. We stayed in the safari tent for four days and three nights, Carole checked in just enough to see if we needed anything. The tent was rustic with modern decor it had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay away from home. Waking up to birds singing, deer and bison/buffalo was lovely. The room doesn't have a television and I'm glad as it forces you to take a moment and connect with love ones. Also the activities if you choose to purchase keep you busy. We participated in archery, tomahawk throwing, horseback riding and trap shooting. Not going to lie, I was a little hesitant driving into the location, as the town and neighborhood had a lot of opposing political party signs but boy was I wrong. I felt extremely comfortable staying at this location, very relaxing and tranquil property, we will be back in the near future. Thanks to all the staff

    My wife and I went here for our first anniversary, we were looking to do something different than going to the beach, spending the day at the river walk in San Antonio, or spending an exuberant amount of money staying at hotel Zaza in Houston. So I stumbled upon this little gem online, gave them a ring and I was able to reserve a cabin last minute! Truth be told we didn't spend much time on the ranch because we went shopping and did other things at a nearby city. After all the shopping we got back to Blisswood so we could catch the sunset and it was truly beautiful, says my wife. We even got to use a golf cart to drive around and go sight seeing for about 45 minutes which was nice. All that being said, my wife loved the time we spent there so I'm happy. I would recommend this quaint bed and breakfast ranch to anyone!

    What a perfect place to come out and relax at especially when your coming from the big city AkA Houston. It was so conveniently located. The staff, food, activities and hospitality was bar none. My wife and I hope to come back often.

    We came out here for our 10yr wedding anniversary and stayed at the dog loft cabin. It's a cute place but needs a bit more upkeep for the pricing. The couch smells like a dog, the loft was hot as Haiti until you drop that a/c down, the bed was worn, the coffee pot was missing, the swimming pool needs a cleaning (heck I would have cleaned it with a pool net had there been one), the doors to the pool need work - oh ya you only get the pool if you have this cabin, the shower floor was squishy (?) and my husband had to kneel to shower. Bring your groceries, stop in schulenberg for some BBQ and kolaches.

There is not a more comfortable place nor more congenial hosts as those found at A Wild Rose Cottage. The property is beautiful, the home is comfortable and the breakfasts are scrumptious. There could not be a more Texan couple than Pattie and Steed. With luck, Steed will regale you with some of his stories about his time as a cowboy, a rancher and as a movie star in many recognizable films. Pattie is the epitome of a gracious hostess. Pattie, I want your recipe for the french toast syrup and strawberry preserves! Our family always enjoys spending time with them. The house is an old remodeled farmhouse, complete with a beautiful and comfortable claw foot bathtub. There is plenty of room for our extended family of eight. There is a small goldfish pond, swing and gorgeous oak trees everywhere. I only wish my home had such a beautiful front porch as there is at A Wild Rose Cottage. There is a beautiful stock tank on the property. I will forever have the memory of teaching my grandsons how to skip rocks on this tank. There are accommodations for a reunion, wedding or almost any event imaginable in "The Barn". Don't forget to check out the modern outhouse! We always feel safe, secure and welcome here. A Wild Rose Cottage is a hidden gem, worthy of an overnight or an extended stay. Many thanks, Pattie and Steed.

The house is super cute, once you are inside it's like a little time warp oasis. Susan and James were so nice and helpful with their suggestions and just making us feel right at home. We stayed in "Antique Rose Room"- I have a habit of trying to avoid rooms that sound too grandmotherly but this room was awesome. The bed was high up with cute wooden stairs. It was decorated with Susan's grandmothers old furniture- but she had amazing taste. Plus the bathroom was just fantastic and they seem to think of everything. Dark makeup towels, bath salts, a refinished beautiful claw foot tub, a nightlight that goes on at nite so you don't stub your toes in an unfamiliar place. Apparently the Brenham house used to be a German Lutheran Church in it's former day but it has been a B&B for a number of years. I won't tell you too much about the history because after Susan and James feed you a gourmet complimentary 3 course breakfast they will come and sit with you at the table and share about themselves and the history. Susan and James 4 years ago ran a very popular Bakery in Houston and the food will be a testament to their previous, current and future success. Make sure and have a cup of tea and sit out on the back porch and do bring your wine after going tasting, they have bottle openers and glasses waiting for you. Brenham is a charming town and we would definitely stay here again.

I was born and raised in Houston, and I'm very proud of that, however, I don't necessarily like to own that it can be stressful at times, especially sitting in traffic. Stay clear of all roads please after 3pm. However, in my search around the Chappell Hill/Brenham area, I stumbled upon a lot of farms/ranches/inns, you name it. Some came close, but Wakefield Field farms caught my eye immediately. I learned that it was just only a few minutes drive to Brenham and offered more than enough R&R for the beautiful weekend ahead of me. From the get go, the owner, Susan Borck helped me pick my desired suite and arranged a special accommodation for me to pay because my situation with me losing my credit card was a HUGE deal. She was more than hospitable and sensitive to what I needed to do. That already was a gigantic PLUS for me. Susan went the extra mile to help a fellow Texan. I'm in love with the service - wouldn't even call it that, it's basically having a second mom to adore and shower with love. I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights in the Master Suite. If you haven't checked out the website yet, DO IT NOW. PLEASE. YOU NEED TO SEE THE DECOR AND DESIGN OF THIS PLACE. I URGE YOU TO DO IT NOW!!!! Being a decor and design junkie, I completely fell in love with every single room Susan put together. The lady knows what she's doing. Admire it, cherish it, respect it. I was in love with the Master suite, it's enough room, intimate for sure, but completely perfect for my man and I. Breakfast is included with your stay, however it is not onsite, but rather at the Chappell Hill Diner right off of 290, you get these neat little tokens to redeem your country breakfast - not a big deal for me that it wasn't onsite but it may be a make or break for others. Breakfast was delicious, everything you needed to start your day right. There is an outdoor pool just footsteps from our cottage, with a hot tub, take advantage of it and relax!!! One of the best amenities the farm had to offer. They also offer horseback riding - didn't get a chance, and is also pricey, but if you're up for it, go for it! Sounds like a whole lot of fun. Ok, here's my lovey dovey schpeel on Susan. If you can name one person in your life that has been more than generous, caring and loving - that is this lady - Susan. She reminds me of the loving and caring mom that everyone needs/deserves. Anything I needed, whether it was extra or fresh towels or for her to check out this GIANT spider I saw because I was a total wuss and couldn't bear to kill it myself. She was definitely there. Critters don't have anything on her nor do they phase her. She's a super woman. From night one til the end of our stay, it was nothing but easy goin. It's like time slowed down because I needed it to. The farm was more than just beautiful. Waking up to the sounds of goats and mini horses was basically magical. Who knew that places like Wakefield existed on earth. The short weekend trip was nothing short of complete amazing-ness. Yes, I just made up a word to describe a feeling everyone should experience here at Wakefield Farms. I cannot wait to return. Tips: A little difficult to find the farm if you don't read directions well. Your GPS will NOT take you to the correct location of the gate, brush up on your skills and give yourself plenty of time during daylight to find the farm. BYOB FARM! WHOOOOPPP! (in moderation preferably) Please read the policies and respect them. I'm a very big supporter of small businesses because they're the ones that teach big businesses how things should be done. Nothing at the end of the day beats good ole mom & pop's shop. Most B&B's require a full deposit BEFORE your stay. It is VERY difficult for a small bed and breakfast to rebook if you cancel on any room at anytime because 99.9% of the time, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN and these businesses DEPEND on your patronage to survive and prosper. So please be mindful, kind and courteous on planning your stay.
