FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 13, 2025

[Artemis Ranch, Texas Hill Country] – In a bold fusion of wild luxury and immersive adventure travel, Artemis Ranch is proud to announce the upcoming completion of its brand-new Giraffe Barn, a safe haven for our growing giraffe family and an unparalleled new lodging experience for guests. Expected to open in late spring 2025, this one-of-a-kind retreat will be bookable on Airbnb and VRBO, offering guests a rare opportunity to wake up to a face-to-face encounter with a giraffe—right outside their window.

A Sanctuary for Giraffes, An Unforgettable Stay for Guests in our luxury Giraffe Barn apartment

A home for our expanding giraffe family: Artemis Ranch’s newest addition isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a sanctuary. Built to provide a spacious, state-of-the-art habitat for our four resident giraffes, the new barn ensures their comfort and care. With two new giraffe calves expected this spring, it is essential to provide a safe, spacious barn for mom and baby. Designed with expert attention to conservation, space, and enrichment, the barn offers the giraffes a secure, climate-controlled environment while keeping them fully integrated into the ranch’s landscape.

The new apartment will allow guests to stay close to the giraffes in a luxury two-bedroom loft. A first-of-its-kind accommodation, the second-story two-bedroom loft apartment above the Giraffe Barn will offer guests a wildly unique experience. Imagine waking up, pulling open your windows, and meeting a giraffe at eye level—a truly immersive connection with nature like no other.

"We decided to add a luxury second-story two-bedroom apartment for guests to experience an immersive stay with our friendly giraffes," says the Artemis Ranch team. "Guests will be able to open their windows and meet a giraffe face-to-face!"

With high-end finishes, panoramic views of the ranch, and direct interaction with the giraffes, this Airbnb and VRBO-exclusive stay is set to become one of the most sought-after wildlife accommodations in Texas.
