Located at High Hope Ranch, Mata Z'amo is connected to the 1000 acres of protected. Meaning Up High in Swahili, Mata Z'amo cabin is perched on a cliffside lending our guests epic views of the hill country. Enjoy dark skies, wolves howling at dusk from Fossil Rim, and over 20 miles of hiking trails.

Sleeps up to 8- 2 bunkbeds & upstairs master loft with a queen & trundle bed.

Livestock (including cattle, chickens, pigs, goats, ranch dogs Rosie and Popeye, and the guard donkey, Zoey) roam the ranch. We ask kindly that you not approach the cattle or chickens, but the rest are all very keen on head scratches and pets!

Chances are you'll see deer, armadillos, and lots of wild birds. We sometimes see other native wildlife like such as quail, turkey, coyote, feral hogs, foxes, and bobcats.

This is a non-smoking, drug-free house. Ash trays are provided on the porch. Burn bans are often in effect, please check with host before starting campfires.

We do host retreats, family reunions, parties, and weddings. Please ask about our day use rates and other facilities available for groups.

    We had such a great time here! The cabin is beautiful and just as described. The view was amazing and getting to explore was fun. We saw tons of deer and of course the cows and goats! Our kids loved it! We'll definitely be back!

    Our stay was perfect and peaceful! Our cabin was in a secluded part of the ranch and it has amazing views. Our group was able to help feed the ranch animals nightly, which the children really enjoyed. We witnessed Zoey, the donkey, laugh! Overall, this is perfect get away from the city life and we will definitely visit again.

    This is our second stay at High Hopes ranch! We enjoyed it so much the first time we knew we had to come back even if it took a few years. Everything was perfect for our family of 5!

    We are definitely coming back! My five-year-old son has not stopped talking about our trip since we got back. Sandy is awesome. Maintenance of the property was impeccable. The house was incredibly clean, and had everything you could ever need to enjoy your trip. And, the proximity to fossil rim dinosaur Valley state park was amazing!
