The space
. The Cabin is ideal for up to 8 adults. There is one private ensuite bedroom with a California King memory foam mattress. The second bedroom is a semi-private loft upstairs with 2 trundle beds consisting of two twin beds that can be pushed together for couples or used separately. Please note, there is no door or wall in the loft for total privacy. The third sleeping area is a comfortable memory foam SOFA BED ( in living room) that pulls out to a queen-sized mattress. All guests share one bathroom that can be accessed from the master bedroom and the entrance laundry room. Please see photos for more detail. There is a two day minimum, We do allow dogs to come on vacation with you to the cabin. However in deciding whether or not to leave bring your dog please know that there are (3) three very important rules. If you cannot abide by these then please consider leaving your pet at home. 1) Dogs are NOT allowed to sleep on top of the beds or be on the beds. We will be able to tell so please do not do it. 2) We prefer that the dogs not be allowed on top of the furniture; expressly the leather couch or any furniture. The Cabin is dog-friendly. HOWEVER- YOUR DOGS MUST be on a leash AT ALL TIMES outside of the fenced in area in front of the cabin. Please ensure that your animals do not chase our ostriches or other exotics. You will have the opportunity to see and walk among- Ostriches, zebras, donkeys, Gazelles, wildebeest, and Oryx's. You will have the opportunity to feed the donkeys and zebras by hand- but ONLY from the enclosed fenced in area in front of cabin. Upon arrival, please review the House Manual for instructions on how to best interact with them- although the host will come to greet and give animal handling tips. Guests can dine out in Blanco or Johnson City or feel free to bring groceries and enjoy cooking in our open kitchen. We provide the basics: pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes, and cutlery. Some spices are also available. Coffee, teas, hot chocolate and packaged oatmeal are complimentary for guests. Please scroll through our photos for a better idea of what awaits you during your stay at The Sweeet Serengheti Cabin.
Guest access
There is a carport next to the cabin for guests park in. If you arrive in more than one car- we ask that extra cars park up at the main house (short distance) to PREVENT ostrich from pecking on your vehicles.
During your stay
We live in the main house on the property. We are very friendly people and after a welcome and greeting- we stay away and let you enjoy your private secluded time although we usually cross paths somewhere on the property. Please know that when you stay at our BNB that you will be in the midst of wild animals which include 3 zebras, 1 ostrich, wildebeest, 2 gazelles, 3 donkeys and African oryx & Elands The animals here have been raised in a humane, kind, safe environment where they do not fear humans but will not necessarily approach humans with the exceptions of the donkeys and zebras...and occasionally the curious male wildebeest. We give specific instructions to keep our guest safe during their stay in reference to the animals. Please know because of their wild nature that there is always a chance of getting pecked, bit, nipped or kicked. Out of the hundreds of guests that have stayed here- we have had less than a handful of guests who have experienced these possible incidents-some for not heeding the cautions given in house manual and instructions by host. Please understand that when you come to our cabin- you accepts these risks. We’re available for any questions you may have about the animals or recommendations you may desire. Our contact details are available in the House Manual located in the kitchen.

Other things to note
