About us
A Thoughtfully Designed Retreat for Rest, Gatherings, and Meaningful Moments
A Place to Pause, Breathe, and Reconnect
Nestled in the heart of Bellville, Texas, The Ferns is where
time slows down and distractions fall away.
Whether you're planning a family reunion, a wedding, a girls’ weekend, or simply a break from routine, our retreat invites you into open spaces,
timeless charm, and modern ease.
A Place to Pause, Breathe,
and Reconnect
The Ferns Guesthouse & Experiences was imagined as a quiet antidote to a noisy world—a place where thoughtful design, restorative amenities, and the gentle rhythm of nature invite guests to pause, reconnect, and just be.
Nestled in the heart of Bellville, Texas, our private Guesthouse offers a secluded, one-bedroom stay with access to tranquil gardens, a pavilion under the trees, and optional wellness add-ons like a cedar sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub. Whether you're visiting for a nearby wedding, writing your next chapter, or simply craving a moment of calm, The Ferns is a place that holds space for what you need most.
This story began, fittingly, with a spark. On their first date, hosts Candice and Kevin dreamed of a country house that would host seasonal gatherings, creative retreats, and long, laughter-filled afternoons. Years later, that dream evolved into The Ferns—a sanctuary inspired by the spirit of slowness, the beauty of old gardens, and the power of intentional space.
Today, the Guesthouse is a refined reflection of that dream: an intimate experience for one or two guests seeking luxury without pretense. With its calming textures, organic shapes, and modern amenities, it offers a deeply personal invitation: return to yourself, return to nature, return to what matters.
Join us any day of the week to reconnect to nature and community.

A Space for Reconnecting
with Nature
At The Ferns in Texas, nature is always close by. Surrounded by wide open skies, cool trees, and fresh country air, it’s the perfect place to slow down and reconnect with the outdoors.
The Ferns offers a beautiful balance of comfort and nature, allowing you to breathe a little deeper, laugh a little louder, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life under the open sky.
The Ferns gave me the space to think clearly again. No agenda, just clarity, and a kind of quiet luxury you don’t realize you need until you feel it.
