Blue Hills Ranch is something very special! The gals were amazing, very welcoming, friendly and informative. You can tell they love their jobs and all the animals. 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.

We just got home from our time at Blue Hills Ranch and the only thing that could've made it better was the weather. It was an amazing get away that my husband planned for us. The food was great, the atmosphere was gorgeous, the staff and volunteers were super friendly and knowledgeable of all the animals. We made friends with all the animals. My favorite was, of course, the giraffes, but it was all so wonderful. We will be back!

Love animals? Appreciate wide-open spaces? Supporting a great cause? Blue Hills Ranch needs to be on your bucket list! I recently visited with some friends, and it was the perfect mix of unique lodging, up-close animal encounters, and exploring nature - an ideal spot for family getaways and even corporate events I can't say enough about Matt and the staff. They were just wonderful, and you can tell they genuinely care about every animal in their care. I’m already planning my next visit—highly recommend!

It is the most magical experience I could ever ask for! me and my daughter got to spend a Christmas getaway in the hook cabin. we got to enjoy all of The ranch has to offer from playing with otters feed giraffes, loving on all the other animals. The food was amazing. The cabin was fun And beautifully crafted. The staff was truly amazing!

Has it been a while since you’ve had on your to do list to go for a safari experience in Africa (but it’s too far away and tons of logistics to get there)? Do you need a break and completely disconnect in an Eden where you could pause time for a few days to reconnect with yourself? While being in a place that feels like home with a new family from Matt, to his amazing staffs, to wonderful animals on the ranch that would casually come your way to say hello? Well, then the Blue Hills Ranch in Waco, Texas is definitely the place you’ve been looking for! And trust me Matt and his magical ranch would definitely keep a beautiful mark in your heart as Matt and his team would insure that you get the best experience of your life!
