✨ Events & Catering Services

We proudly host special occasions including weddings, quinceañeras, baby showers, pool parties, and more.

Any group over 20 people on the property is considered an event and will require prior approval and an additional fee.

IMPORTANT BOOKING & PROPERTY POLICY:

By booking this property, guests acknowledge that all payments are non-refundable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected cancellations, weather events, medical emergencies, travel interruptions, utility outages including electricity, water, or internet service interruptions, or other unforeseen circumstances.

EVENT POLICY:
Any gathering with more than 20 guests, including children, is considered an event, regardless of the type of gathering. This includes birthdays, celebrations, reunions, graduations, meetings, showers, dinners, pool gatherings, or any occasion where additional guests are present at the property. Any visitors or guests arriving at the property count toward the guest total, whether or not they stay overnight. Unauthorized events or exceeding the approved guest count may result in additional fees, cancellation of the reservation without refund, and/or removal from the property.

WILDLIFE & PROPERTY NOTICE:
Historic Hidden Gem offers a unique farm-style atmosphere in the heart of the city. Because of the natural surroundings, guests may occasionally see local Texas wildlife, insects, or outdoor critters as part of the environment. To help keep indoor spaces comfortable and secure, guests must keep all doors closed at all times, as insects or wildlife may enter if doors are left open. Wildlife sightings or encounters related to the natural outdoor environment are considered a normal part of the property experience and are not grounds for refunds.

We offer custom catering packages, including:

Taquizas

Snow cones

Cotton candy & popcorn

Snack and drink stations and much more.
