The countryside is a perfect way to unwind and just put your feet up and relax. One of three cottages located on the property, this cozy cottage for 2 is located on the grounds of Gulf Breeze Alpaca & Sheep Ranch and is perfect for the longer stay. Full closet, dresser and complete kitchen. Check out our other listings #4678050 and #1646238.

Make the most of your stay at the ranch by scheduling a tour of the property. Be sure to stop in at the Fiber Arts Studio & Farm Store. You'll find the whole experience to be relaxing both day and night. Visit the farm page on FB or go to to keep up with the latest goings on!

The cottage overlooks Lake Corpus Christi. With the sights and sounds of city life miles away, you can easily forget you're really only a half hour from Corpus Christi, Beeville, Alice or George West and only minutes from shopping and restaurants in Mathis or Orange Grove.

Completely furnished with over stuffed sofa, rustic furniture and well equipped kitchen, you'll lack for nothing during your stay, whether it's a weekend, a week or even a month! Fiberholics will love spending time in the Fiber Arts Studio & Yarn Shop! Join the knitting or spinning circle during your stay. Or sign up for classes and plan a weekend as a fiber retreat!

This cottage is within site of a couple others as well as the main building that houses an apartment, shop and Fiber Arts Studio. The open floor plan makes it easy to accommodate up to 3 adults (please message the owner about additional bedding for 3rd person). A screen can be positioned to provide different levels of privacy if desired. When available, guest may make arrangements with the owner for additional sleeping options. Make plans for your Girl's Get-away weekend or a family retreat!

There is Wifi and a smart tv but you may prefer to spend your time exploring the farm, or just sitting on your front or back deck, or on the Patio at the main building.

This is a real 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. Barking is a part of their job and this can be anytime day or night. If it becomes too much of a disturbance guests should let us know ASAP so that alternative arrangements can be implemented.

There is more than just alpacas on the property. You’ll find heritage sheep and turkeys, lots of chickens and cats! There are always Livestock Guardian Dogs on Duty 24/7. While the dogs are quite imposing, they are people friendly! Using LGDs is a humane form of predator control. They more than earn their keep by protecting all the critters living on the farm, as well as their humans.

The State Park (Lake Corpus Christi Recreational Area) is located a short drive away. It is a couple of miles as the crow flies. 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 Oranage Grove, Tx. You'll find grocery stores, restaurants, gas and other shops in both. The cottage is also near some popular wedding venues, such as Dancing Elk Lodge.

Well behaved and house trained pets are welcome but must be kept on leash when out of the cottages and never left unattended. ***A pet fee if $25.00 per pet per visit will be charged at check in.***
GBAR Pet Policy:
There is a 25 lbs maximum limit for pets.
In order for our Livestock Guardian Dogs to do their jobs they have unrestricted access to all areas of the property, including the cottages area. Visiting dogs must be on leash at all times when outside the cottage, but must not be tied up or otherwise left unattended. Walking a pet beyond the immediate area of the cottage is not allowed. We have fenced the area behind the cabins for our guests to use when walking their pets. Our fencing is designed to keep our dogs out. Small dogs can slip through the squares which may lead to injuries or death. Keeping your pet on leash is the only way to assure your pet remains safe.
These rules are intended to protect visiting dogs as well as to reduce exposure to visiting dogs to our Guardians, who are charged with protecting the livestock against all potential predators, including domestic dogs, which are actually the biggest threat to our livestock.
