A unique and beautiful ranch that is nothing short of amazing! From the moment my wife and I drove through the gate we were in awe. We were greeted by multiple unique species of wildlife and a serene landscape with spectacular views. Ty and Leslie have built an amazing ranch and experience in central Texas and the hospitality is truly the best part! From the lodge, the cottage, and wildlife sanctuaries no detail was missed or expense spared. Viewing and feeding all of the animals was an amazing experience that we will never forget. We could not recommend Artemis Ranch enough. Whether it is for a family getaway in the cottage or a wedding/corporate event in the lodge, this is hands down the place for you. We will definitely be back!

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.
