PRIVACY:
Please note, our property includes a 1/4 acre farm and a retreat center under construction. They are a couple hundred yards from the ranch house, with no line of sight between.

The garage at the end of the home is used as a workshop, and the barn with some equipment is across the driveway. The deck, pool, fire pit, and other amenities are mostly out of sight and quite private. While we occasionally access the workshop and barn, we will respect your privacy.

WILDLIFE:
Our home is on a 53 acre ranch in rural Texas. We share the countryside with an abundance of plants and creatures. Many of them are beautiful, some of them require caution. Any countryside stay like ours requires good sense and some basic wildlife knowledge. If needed, more information is available upon booking.

We also have cows, chickens, rabbits, goats, and a donkey and horse who live on the non-residential side of the property. Let us know if you want to say hi!

PERFECT Property for a Peaceful Getaway!
So many great things to say about this amazing property! Our girls weekend was perfect! The setting is so serene and peaceful. We spent many hours on the back deck drinking coffee and cocktails just staring at the pond and watching the wildlife. Sitting around the fire pit looking at the stars was also a highlight. The house is impeccably decorated in a modern but welcoming Texas vibe. There are fun touches in every room. The bedding, linens and towels are all high quality. And we really appreciated the entire property being immaculately clean when we arrived. We made good use of all the awesome amenities included.....hot tub, dry and wet saunas, table games, board games, and the fire pit. Be sure to schedule a visit with the friendly goats who make their home on the property! I loved this getaway so much that I booked for another long weekend before I even checked out on the last day!

Incredible Home!
This house was everything it advertised, and more! There are speakers in the living room, patio, game room & work out room that you can connect your playlist to, and enjoy your music. We had trouble starting the fire outside on our first night and Stephanie was such a huge help! She came over and helped us ladies start the fire (we're city gals). She even let us pet the donkey (one of the ladies really wanted to pet it) and brought the goats over to the house so the other ladies could pet them. Such a fun house to sit and play games, catch up and just enjoy the people you're with. This house has SO much room. We had 8 grown women and had plenty of room to sit and visit, and eat. Would highly recommend this property!!

Family Fun
Amazing - entertained three teenagers thoroughly - and we all enjoyed time together - swimming pool ! Hot tub! Fire pit with s’mores! Scavenger hunt for all the flowers, longhorns, donkey, cacti! Steam room! Sauna! Weight room! Canoe and paddle board! Mini basketball! Card games! Darts! Ping pong! We didn’t turn on a TV one single time. Crazy but true. The kitchen was so stocked with essentials. Even got in late but there was bisquick for pancakes in the morning. Towels, swimming pool supplies - super. S’mores supplies. Wow. We had a blast. Thank you!

Peaceful Stay
This property was amazing! So many things to do! We enjoyed the sauna, steam room, hot tub, private lake and overall ambiance of the property. We even got to enjoy the animals of the property and fell in love. The goats, cows, horse and donkey were all so friendly. Stephanie was so accommodating in all of our needs. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic get away!
This is a fantastic place to get away for a few days and have some fun. From being able to work out in the gym, relax in the steam room, playing in the game room to relaxing on the porches with a drink and a book, even when it was rainy we stayed busy. When the weather cleared out, we hit the lake for fishing, paddle boarding and canoeing. The host was so sweet and the goats added to the fun. We had a range of age from 7 to 17 and everyone had something to do. The house is well stocked and plenty of room.

Great Weekend!
Everything was perfect. There’s so much to do that we couldn’t do it all in one weekend. The lake was great for fishing, would of spent all day out there if it wasn’t for the heat.
