Other Details to Note
Livestock (including cattle, chickens, pigs, goats, ranch dogs Rosie and Popeye, and the guard donkey, Zoey) roam the ranch. We ask kindly that you not approach the cattle or chickens, but the rest are all very keen on head scratches and pets! The dogs may jump or bark at first but are friendly and will return to their duties after brief hello. Chances are you'll see deer, armadillos, and lots of wild birds. We sometimes see other native wildlife like such as quail, turkey, coyote, feral hogs, foxes, and bobcats. There have been some rare sightings of mountain lions in the past but as long as you are aware and prepared it’s nothing to worry about. Lastly, we are in the Texas hill country where rattle snakes and copperheads live. They are easy to avoid as long as you are aware. If spotted up by a house, please contact the host so that we can safely remove them for you!

Neighborhood
Your neighbors are all Texas Natives! Four-footed, feathered and cold-blooded! We are also a working ranch, so you may see cows and ranch hands in a pick-up. To see other people you'll need to wander off the ranch! We love being close to all that Glen Rose has to offer. High Hope Ranch has a long history with Fossil Rim, we are 2.5 miles away from their Overlook entrance, where you can access the Children's Activity Center, Nature Store and café for free. You can also get a jump start on the day trippers by starting the drive through early! Glen Rose has a river walk and playgrounds, Dinosaur Valley State Park, museums, attractions, galleries, shops, an old-fashioned soda fountain, three bookstores and some of the best pie in Texas (according to Texas Country Reporter)! Warning: It does spoil you for other pie!
Guest Access
Guests have access to all 1000 acres with 20+ miles of hiking trails and landmarks like the Stone Circle, Star Pad, Goat Cave, Sunset Cliff, and are of course welcome to arrange a tour to visit the working Farm on property. Guests have access to our on site Farm Store where they can stock up on essentials like ranch raised meat, drinks, canned food items like jellies, jams, pickles, salsa, and other snacks. All food is grown or made on site with organic practices and values. Open by appointment only! Every purchase goes towards supporting young farmers and land conservation. We appreciate your support! Guests are welcome to rent our studio or other houses for their private use such as weddings, retreats, and other special events.

We are rural, rural, no public transport! You will drive on a gravel road to get to your house, with a small hill. You don't need 4-wheel drive! The Chisholm Trail Parkway has cut travel time to Fort Worth and DFW Airport by 15-30 minutes! Airport shuttles are available, and although Uber and Lyft will get you here, there are no local drivers to get you back!
