M’walimu (“Teacher” in Swahili) is a remote and secluded house in the hill country with multiple expansive libraries. Located at High Hope Ranch, this space is ideal for those seeking retreat from busy city life, to host large family gatherings, or to unwind and reconnect with nature. M’walimu consists of two dwellings connected by a covered walkway, each with two bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, includes a private deck and pool.
Mwalimu consists of two separate houses connected by an outdoor breezeway. In between them sits a pool and extensive outdoor deck with propane grill, seating, and hill country views. The main house has a full-sized, well-equipped kitchen and a dining table for 10. The deck offers plenty of outdoor seating and a propane grill for guests to use. The living room is filled with art, books, roku TV, and a wood-burning stove.
Bedroom 1: The primary suite has its own sunny library, private desk area, king-sized bed, and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower and meditation bay.
Bedroom 2: The second bedroom is located upstairs, with 2 double beds, a private work nook, and a full bathroom. Laundry room with a washer and dryer downstairs.
The second house, known as the "Sanctuary", has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, spacious closet, and private bath with a walk-in shower. The bedrooms are separated by sliding Japanese-style wood and opaque glass sliding doors. Please note they provide visual privacy but are not entirely soundproof.
The all-glass, west-facing wall of the sanctuary offers a sweeping view of the pool and valley beyond. The gathering area in the Sanctuary has a small kitchenette-two mini-fridges, sink, microwave, tea kettle, small blender, a toaster oven, a coffee cart with a drip coffee maker, and a comfortable living room. The upstairs loft is yet another library/reading area and can be used for extra sleeping space (single pallets/pads provided). There is also space for queen airbeds (if requested) downstairs.
We have had guests host up to 75 people in the living area for dinners and other special gatherings-please inquire for special events!

The property was perfect for our family get away. It was spacious, clean, and accommodating for our needs. Check in was no hassle. The host was in close contact and very kind. Everyone enjoyed the pool, patio, and large dining room table for fellowship. The Sanctuary is so beautiful in its design. A variety of activities offered and plenty of space to relax, whichever suits your itinerary. Our kids and grandkids loved it.
Our family loved this serene getaway. We enjoyed Fossil Rim Wildlife Park in the morning and a swim in the pool in the afternoon with a lot of family time on the large deck and beautiful grounds.
We both stayed at High Hope Ranch and hosted my daughters graduation party.Everything was perfect. There was plenty of room and people were so amazed by the beauty of the property.
Honestly, I don’t want to write a review telling everyone how amazing this property is - because then it will always be booked and I won’t be able to go back again! Truly, a unique and wonderful destination VRBO. This home is one of five short-term rentals on a 1200 acre property held in a wildlife preservation trust. We enjoyed the homes, and we had a lot of fun visiting the gardens, the farm store, and feeding the goats and pigs. We tried to feed the donkey, but he was shy. I can definitely see us coming back again for more visits in the future!
We had a wonderful visit. We are excited to go back and spend more time. The farm store is really neat and everyone is so nice. The property is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to get back.
Mwalimu, High Hope's Villa with Pool was so peaceful and relaxing. The layout of the main house and sanctuary was perfect for our girl's trip. Everyone slept so well. We had so much fun, swimming, checking out the books and fun artifacts. AND my big white dog loved exploring the ranch!
