Hello, We only stayed for one night, but this place is amazing and special. Made even more stunning by the gorgeous scenery and last night's dramatic thunderstorm. The little gingerbread men and tasty breakfast were great as were all the other quirky little attention to details around The Barn. We took as many photos inside as we did out. With a visit to Luckenbach to meet some incredible musicians, this has been a perfect end to our travels around Texas. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Our First Choice

Here for the 4th (or 5th) year in a row to celebrate our mother's birthday. This year was a milestone - her 80th! She had the choice to go anywhere she wanted, and this again was her choice (and ours). We were not disappointed and as usual loved our time spent here. Thanks again and see you next year.

Another Wonderful Visit

Another wonderful visit to Palo Alto Creek Farm. Our lives are so busy at home, but easy to forget when we step through these doors. Our welcoming committee of the guard cats and the grazing goats and donkeys. We've thought of this beautiful place over the years as our home away from home. Thesimplicity of it all, the small town, the friendliness of everyone makes us yearn for this simpler live. It's always nice to catch up with Lupe. We go way back knowing her, she's a treasure, and we love it when Carter is here and getting to hear about her family and new things going on at the farm. I look through these journals and feel the presence of many couples. That reminds me how much alike we all really are - we just want happiness, love, and some peace in this beautiful spot that has been so lovingly created for us all.

We like many others that have journaled their experience here at Palo Alto Creek Farm were celebrating our 28th anniversary! What a beautifully romantic and peaceful place to do so. I loved every aspect of it and we are so thankful for the beautiful weather that helped us enjoy our stay even more. I love the back porch and especially the wind chime and the goats. We also took advantage of the Rockbox Theater and were not disappointed. We will recommend this place to our friends and families. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality!

The Bar Has Been Set

We couldn't have asked for anything more to celebrate our 1st anniversary. The bar has definitely been set ... High! From the momebnt we pulled in, we know this place was special. The bed is something we didn't want to leave, the tub was incredibly relaxing as well. Everything in The Barn was very cozy and welcoming, too! Scooter was the perfect greeter upon our arrival and always waiting upon our return. I found so much joy watching the goats and hearing their bells when they came running for feeding time. The best part, by far, was sitting in the swing awaiting the deer feeder and watching them come in like clockwork to feed - so relaxing and peaceful. Thank you for allowing us to visit and enjoy this little slice of heaven. We are already looking forward to ouir return!

My husband and I celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary here this weekend. What a truly wonderful and special place we picked! From the kitties running to greet us as soon as we parked, to the wonderfully romantic fireplaces, to the complete and utter peace I felt sitting on the backporch rocking chair listening to the wind dance through the trees, to the wonderful food prepared for us in the fridge, Palo Alto Creek Farm was a weekend of perfection! I cannot wait until we are able to return! Thanks for an amazing experience!

We spent our 9th anniversary at The Barn at Palo Alto Creek Farm. It's such a special place to escape our chaotic life and regroup. There is not one detail of our stay that we would change! We love the kitties, the breakfast tacos, the private porch, the beautiful grounds, the decor, the jacuzzi for two ... We hate to leave and WILL return. Thank you for sharing this slice of Heaven!
