A new retreat in Jewett, Texas — about three and a half hours from San Antonio, east of Waco — is beckoning to Texas travelers looking for a rustic but stylish weekend away. Limestone Fields is now accepting reservations for a May 15 opening, according to Culture Map San Antonio.
The 16-acre property founded by Dallas hospitality pro Josh Ramsey is named for Lake Limestone, a roughly 12-mile-long body of water steps away from the 10 cabins. It’s not just your standard lake trip, though; the property also encompasses a working farm, where farmer Trisha Bates will grow crops, herbs, and flowers, harvest eggs from free-range chickens and ducks, and graze two Scottish Highland cows, Doug and Maisie.
Guests will be able to visit the farm, either to check it out or harvest crops, and more programming is coming soon, including a chef residency program and farm workshops. Guests will also be able to try their hand at “easy farm tasks,” a press release says.
In addition to the farm, there’s the Commons Barn, a communal area with a kitchen that’s open 24 hours a day. Equipment includes a 48-inch range, an outdoor pizza oven, an offset smoker, and more. Guests will be able to fill out an order form before or during their visit, but the property encourages that they bring their own food, which they can store at the barn.
