We had the good fortune of connecting with Debbie & Chad Hudspeth and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Debbie & Chad, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We love living in the country and are blessed to have a beautiful piece of land. We really enjoy sharing it with others and seeing their reactions, especially to something new for them like an encounter with an armadillo or raccoon. We thought starting a vacation rental business using unique themed properties would be a blast for us and especially for our customers.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Adventure Creek Ranch sits on 300 acres of beautiful North Texas Hill Country. Part of our vacation rentals include our treehouses, each very unique in their designs and themes. In addition, we have 3 tiny homes and are constantly adding more unusual stays. We offer UTV rentals and 100 acres of trails to drive on with 5 different scavenger hunts spread throughout the forest. We are very excited about 2 fishing ponds we recently dug and have lots of future plans including underground hobbit houses, a stargazing tiny home with retractable roof and a 5 line zip line course. This is a working ranch located in Forestburg TX where we raise Angus cattle and Dorper sheep. Chad builds tiny homes through his company, LoneStar Tiny Homes. Being an entrepreneur certainly has its ups and downs with a multitude of challenges but also a great sense of satisfaction when you get to experience a simple idea that transforms into a functioning business.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Wow, there is so much to do and see in North Texas. We love the stockyards in Ft Worth with all the shops and restaurants. The square in Denton is also quite interesting and fun to visit. Adventure Creek Ranch is right at a 1 hour drive from downtown Dallas or Ft. Worth so we tend to stay toward the north edge of things. There are several wineries around including the Blue Ostrich in St Jo and the Firelight Vineyard in Valley View. One of the most fun and unique things we like to take guests to see is the Horton Classic Car Museum in Nocona. Of course with Muenster TX very close to us, if the timing is right, visiting Germanfest in April or Oktoberfest in the Fall is a must.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Our motivation, inspiration and rock in life is Jesus Christ. We dedicate our business and lives to Him who has blessed us exceedingly.
