Hickory Plains House | Peaceful Sheep Farm in Austin - Pet Friendly!

2 Bedroom House in Hickory Plains, Austin

If you love to be greeted by friendly, nosy sheep then this is the place for you! Welcome to our little farm! We love when our guests feel at home in our little farmhouse. Sit on the front porch with a cup of coffee while watching the sheep and horses graze. Sit on the back porch at night during the summertime and watch the beautiful fireflies! This is a place to relax and unwind from the the hustle and bustle while enjoying a little taste of farm life. We are approximately 35 minutes from Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, 40 minutes from downtown Little Rock, and 20 minutes off I-40 and Highway 67/167. We are about a 10-15 minute drive from Cabot and a 15-20 minute drive from Beebe.
We currently have 8 sheep, 2 miniature horses, 6 goats, and 3 barn cats. We also have a sweet Boxer, Trooper, who loves to greet guests! Most of our animals are rescues and have the sweetest personalities. They each have a special place on our farm and are all part of the family!
You will have the entire house to yourself (it is approximately 1600 square feet), we stay in a tiny cabin about 80 feet from the main house. We want you to feel comfortable during your stay, we will give you as much privacy as possible. We do have to feed and care for the animals throughout the day so you’ll see us going back and forth to the barn. Their water hose is connected to the main home and sometimes we have to access the back area for one reason or another, but we try to keep it as minimal as possible and only as needed.
It is our goal to provide a warm and inviting home for our guests with as many amenities as possible. We provide bath towels, toiletries, cookware, a toaster, a microwave, a coffee maker (including coffee/creamer/sugar) and bedding! If you have any special requests, please let us know and we are more than happy to accommodate if possible.
We have a large front porch with a few benches, outdoor string lights, wind chimes, and a pretty view of the property and the pond in the front of our home.
We live on 5 acres in a more rural setting with a large, mature magnolia tree in the front yard, an older traditional barn, and plenty of nature surrounding us! We have pecan trees and lots of fireflies during the summer. We also have a back patio with chairs and string lights.
Although our farmhouse is older and has been loved throughout the years, we take pride in keeping it clean and tidy.
We have 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a king bed. We have a full bathroom with a shower and tub combo, as well as a second bathroom with a jetted tub (no shower).
Please note a few important details:
*If you have more than 4 guests, please message us as we have a large couch and a reclining couch if you need more space. There is no extra charge for extra guests (maximum of 6 guests total).
*All of our animals are friendly. The only thing we ask is that the animals are never chased, mishandled, or treated improperly. This can stress them out.
*This should go without saying, but there are livestock droppings around. 😅
*We do not have a covered parking area or garage, it is all open.
*As stated above, we take pride in keeping our home sparkling clean, but please be advised that it is an older home that was built in the 30's so there are obvious flaws and imperfections here and there!
*Although we do stay on the property, we respect that you are on vacation and privacy is important. We will provide you with our contact information in case you should ever need to call or text us for any reason! We always love to meet our guests if we happen to cross paths as well! 😊
*We want you to enjoy every aspect of your stay! We are laid back and enjoy opening our home for others to experience a little sample of small farm life!
*We do allow (and love) pets! We ask that that all pets are fully potty trained (or crated if not) and that they don’t get on furniture or beds.
* Since we do live on a farm in a more rural area, you may encounter bugs and wildlife that you may not be accustomed to, such as: Deer, coyotes, foxes, skunks, raccoons, possums, snakes, flies, mosquitoes, junebugs, wasps, carpenter bees, ticks, chiggers, spiders, etc.

Summary: This is our second stay with Bryan and Stacie! It will NOT be our last! The home is beautifully decorated, cozy but roomy and the animals are great to watch! Our dog loves the freedom of the gated areas and we love watching her interact with the farm animals. This is not a home to overlook, stay here you will be so glad you did!!

Summary: We loved staying here. The animals were so much fun to go and feed every day. We have a blind son so we try and take him to more interactive places rather than just visual vacations. He loved going into the chicken pen and feeding them and going to pet the sheep and goats were azing. His favorite was the mini ponies. Thank y'all so much for making our trip great.

Summary: If I could leave 10 stars, I would. We were late in arriving with our 91 and 89 year old mothers. Bryan stayed outside until we arrived and let us love on the animals before putting them up for the night. My favorite part was sitting on the back porch and soaking in the peace of the morning, listening to the horse, goats, sheep and chickens waking up. Flo the kitty and Trooper the Boxer visited us a lot and we loved them! The home was pristine and offered all the comforts we needed. We all slept great. The 89 year old Mom loved the animals. Both Moms motored around with their walkers and enjoyed the country surroundings. Thank you so much Stacie and Bryan. You made the first stop of our Moms Adventure Trip unforgettable ❤️.

Summary: The house on this property is so cute. The kitchen is a little tight, but the rest of the house is spacious, very clean, and well decorated. My husband and I had been on the road for about five days by the time we checked in here and this is the first time I was able to sleep well on the trip. The king sized bed is super comfortable. We used the TV only once, but had no issues. I love farm stays and this one was no different. I adore all the animals, but the white cat and I immediately bonded and I was able to get my cat fix in, while carrying him around. The owners' dog also came up to visit and took to my husband as his new best friend. We were able to interact a little with the sheep and goats that came to the fence. There is a big picture window in the living room that looks out over the chicken area and they were fun to watch. One thing to note is that there are two bathrooms, two tubs, but only one shower. I was not aware of that when I booked the house, but it wasn't a big deal. The property is only about 20-30 minutes from Little Rock, so convenient if you're looking to go downtown, but without staying in the city. A really perfect place to stay. If we are ever back in Arkansas, I would absolutely stay here again if it was available.
