Description: Our home and barn were the heart of Knolle Jersey Farms - the World's Largest Jersey Herd of cattle for three generations. Situated 20 miles west of Corpus Christi in the lush Nueces River Valley of TX, our towering oaks provided a backdrop for many years of Boy Scout jamborees and our barn opened wide for bus loads of school children who viewed the gentle Jersey being milked and fed. The years have changed, the children are grown and Texas beef cattle now graze our pastures. But the spirit of hospitality and the desire to share God's bounty has not changed. Therefore, we continue to open our doors and welcome you to share the genteel way of country life in the renovated barn and cottage that were a part of the original dairy headquarters.
Chapel Family reunions, weddings, small corporate groups and tours are our specialty, with facilities to take care of your group, rain or shine. Our grounds, beautiful chapel, picnic areas and waterfronts provide the perfect setting for special occasions and our large recreation room provides a back-up facility in case of inclement weather. Of course, we also cater to small family get-togethers, couples in need of a romantic weekend away, and even those individuals wanting a few days of solitude. Although our activities are numerous and varied, we are not a dude ranch. Activities are not planned and we are not with you at all times. We believe that our guests come here for privacy and to relax and get away from the structure of daily life. We want you to think of this as your home away from home; we share our facilities with you and you are welcome to enjoy them in the way you would your own. We will make sure you are comfortable and safe with any activities and equipment, but we allow you your freedom. If lessons are necessary we will need to charge a fee for these instructions.
Ranch ViewsThe abundance of wildlife, in addition to our beloved dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, certainly makes us pet friendly. Our barn houses 7 horse stalls and we have outside paddocks and arenas as well, accommodating those who would like to bring their own horses. Of course, hunting dogs are also allowed, but guests are required to use a kennel to house their dogs. Dogs and other small pets are not normally allowed inside the guest cottages, but we do make exceptions under certain circumstances (especially if the animals are used for those with disabilities). Our versatile staff is here to meet your every need, from providing great food to guiding a world class hunt to accommodating your favorite outdoor activity. We invite you to join us and soak up the pampering that makes this a truly unique experience. Meeting you and accommodating your desires would be a true pleasure for us; we hope to see you soon!
Other Amenities: We have sleeping accommodations for up to 20 people. Our renovated barn houses the Main Guest House, with living room, dining room, and fully-equipped kitchen, as well as 2 or 3 bedrooms and baths.
