Grasslands Bed & Barn is a 64-acre "ranchette" uniquely situated across from the LBJ National Grasslands and an ideal respite for hiker, biker, horse-rider, hunter, naturalist or over-stressed human being.

 
The remote and private setting lends intimacy to the inn which offers three bedrooms:

"South of the Border"
"Fallen Leaves"
"Running Spirit"

Two Twin Beds

Queen Bed

Each room has a private bath and access to the Central Room where continental breakfast is served or where you might pop some corn and watch a video before bedtime.

The sprawling tree over the porch invites you to picnic a meal on the porch or relax tired muscles in the spa under the Milky Way - a perfect ending of a picture-perfect day! The porch overlooks the rolling hills of the pasture and surrounding, wooded landscape and can almost guarantee a beautiful Texas sunset every night.

 

For horse-owners . . . covered stalls, spacious corrals, or open pasture in which to contain your horses overnight, all next-door to the B&B facility. And because we are adjacent to the Grasslands, next day simply saddle and ride! Two of the marked trails (white & red) are located ¼ mile from the B & B. No trailering to enjoy hundreds of trails.
There are several other riding areas within a 55-minute drive that would provide added variety, views, and challenges for those staying longer than a weekend.

 

Texas weather is conducive to outdoor, recreational activities year-through with August and September being especially warm. Our spring and fall are exceptional and long-lived. The wildflower carpet changes every 2/3 weeks along the trails and lasts for at least 3 months. Because of the tree cover in the park and the elevations, fall colors are splendid. Morning and evening riding is recommended in the heat of the summer. And winter is generally mild with a few cold snaps, but lots of in-between-days of 50+ degree riding, actually some of the best riding!
