“I was looking for a rental that was unique and our cabin stay at Artemis Ranch was our best stay in Texas! From the moment you drive in, you’re transported to an African safari. The ranch is massive. We took a 2 hour tour and got to see many exotic animals roaming around free. My boys were in awe of the zebras, the rino and the giraffes, who they got to feed. The cabin was equipped with everything you need including a pool, hot tub and fire pit for snores. My personal favorite was the many little personal touches to make your stay feel special like snacks for the kids and breakfast items. We received VIP hospitality from Ty and Bill which elevated our stay. My sons want to go back for summer break since we didn’t have time to fish. If you’re looking for a unique experience full of excitement, stay here. You’ll have a hard time deciding which activity to do because there is so much and they are all so much fun!”

Texas Rock House 
Rating: 4.7 (22 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,095

Texas Rock House is a labor of love. My grandparents built the house and barns in the 1940's as a working farm for their family. My mother was the youngest of seven children that grew up here. I grew up almost across the street with my mom (Joyce), daddy (Buddy), and brother (Larry). Larry and I spent almost every Friday night here - listening to his records on Grandma's old record player or sitting on the back porch swing counting the number of cars on the trains as they passed by. Whether you are looking for a memorable barn wedding venue for your special day, a unique event space for your corporate meeting, or a beautiful place to celebrate one of life's special moments, the Texas Rock House is the place to be! I (and my family) have had many wonderful memories in this place - and hope you do too!

“The team at Texas Rock House was open, understanding and a bit busy, but they made our special day truly wonderful. The venue was very beautiful and affordable, which was important to us as a young couple. The owner, Erin, did her best to help as much as she could to make the days leading up to and the day of our wedding as easy as possible. She was very personable and good at collaborating with us. When it started raining on the day of our wedding, Erin was very quick to come up with a solution and it ended up being an awesome celebration despite the weather. We are so grateful for the Texas Rock House team and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a gorgeous and budget-friendly wedding venue.”

Because your love story deserves something real, joyful, and unforgettable. Weddings here aren’t staged or stiff — they’re full of charm, nature, and a few unexpected animal guests. Say your vows under a big oak tree or in a cozy barn while donkeys peek in and cows moo in approval. You get the entire farm to yourself — no rushed schedules or sharing the space. Just you, your people, and a whole lot of heart. Our animals bring laughter, surprise, and personality to your big day. It’s peaceful, quirky, and filled with photo ops you can’t plan — like a goat crashing your first dance. Stay overnight in the barn apartment or cottage and wake up to donkeys on your porch. It’s more than a wedding venue — it’s an experience. If you want a wedding that’s personal, playful, and totally you, the Funny Farm is waiting.
