Blue Hills Ranch

Matt, Ann, Jackie and the rest of the team were the most kind and accommodating people of nearly any place we have visited - and we adventure a lot! And the food was🤌🏼

For the giraffe experience, we actually stayed inside the barn for the duration. It was a little cool, and with a cold front coming they didn’t want to risk them getting out in the pasture and deciding that was better than the warm barn and them be unable to get them back inside. I can’t imagine trying to truck a 17’ tall animal into an confined space lol
We opted to get our charcuterie board sent to our cabin and we drank wine and fed Violet, Google, Meadow and her baby.

Blue has his own barn/enclosure and he is let out each morning to roam his enclosure. Being as we stayed on the property we were able to visit him any time he wasn’t in his barn during the day.

The property is growing and changing and the owner is working on constantly improving - the accommodations and the experiences. As someone obsessed with giraffes and likes low key, it was perfect. There are lots of deer: fallow, axis and blackbuck that roam the hills and venture close to the cabins.

Our safari ride took us out to see the zebras. Very greedy snackers lol British White cattle roam part of the acreage. Several Donkeys just hangout all over with Horses and ponies. The kangaroos were sweet and fun to watch. The otters made a fan out of me.

We had a wonderful time. It was slow paced, low key, relaxing and fun. The cabin was clean and homey. We will be back!

We have been to Giraffe Manor in Africa and while it is an amazing experience, so is Blue Hills Ranch! This ranch is as close to that experience that we have found in the USA and it being located in Texas makes it even more special!
The Giraffes, Milton and Blue, were so friendly and loved to be fed and touched. While most places barely allow you to feed the animals, Blue Hills Ranch has animals that actually want to interact with you!
This place is so much more than a petting zoo or drive thru safari..... it is a place that wants to teach you about the animals and encourage interactions with them. All of the staff were exceptional and so kind, which made the experience even more wonderful.
I definitely want to visit again! Thank you to everyone at Blue Hills that made our weekend so special!

We stayed in the Giraffe Cabin for two nights. It had all the comforts of home and I loved all the giraffe decor. We had several deer and Lisa the Emu hanging out at our back deck.

All the animals are so sweet and friendly.

Jackie gave us a great tour of the ranch, we booked it for an hour prior to check in. I would highly recommend the tour.

We so enjoyed our time at the ranch and hope to go back in the future someday.

The staff was very accommodating making it family friendly and adaptable for all in our party- from our infant to our grandma. The only thing we didn’t like was the extra charge for guests. We were charged extra for
a 4 year old and grandmother. The cabin sleeps 4, but they only allow 2 guests in the base price. Seemed to be a bit unreasonable, but the rest of our experience was great, so we didn’t feel the need to complain.
