Beautiful house and property for our family to enjoy over a long weekend. The house was spacious, clean, and beds were comfortable.
The ranch is large and remote but close enough to Bastrop and Austin for meal runs. Overall a memorable experience, highly recommended.
My friends and I really enjoyed the property. Texas Ranch house is very clean beautiful I highly recommend rent for family or friends or special occasions. Yes, bed pillows and linens were comfortable.
This property is stunning and conveniently located! Had a little reunion with some college buds and everyone raved about the place once they got there. Fully intend to return - just a lovely hill country ranch and is incredibly close to loads of cool hill country destinations. You will not be disappointed!
Nice place but could fix a few things like shower valve was broke needs replaced or fixed and front door knob was about to fall off ; we fixed ourselves !
Spent a long weekend here with the extended family and got the real Texas ranch experience! The younger ones enjoyed walking and exploring around the large outdoor space and there was plenty of space indoors so that we never felt we were on top of one another, even with so many people. Owner was quick to answer questions and the check-in/check-out procedures were super straightforward. Thanks so much!
We stayed at this home with our friends for our wedding weekend, and it was such a special place for us! We used the space to get ready the morning of the ceremony and came back to stay the night after the celebration. The home had a great layout for gathering and getting dressed, and we’ll always remember it as part of our big day.Our only complaint was that the property wasn’t as clean as we had hoped. A bit more attention to cleanliness would’ve made the stay perfect. That said, the location and setup were great, and we really appreciated being able to celebrate such an important weekend there. Can't wait to come back!
We held a church girls camp here and the experience could not have been better. The ranch house was clean, had a stocked kitchen, great layout, and was just perfect for our group. We had an amazing time and all were thrilled with the accommodations. My only reason for four stars was the kitchen cabinets need some TLC but I would stay here again in an instant. Thanks for a great stay!
This huge ranch house was the perfect setting for my family to get together and celebrate Mother's Day. The pool was perfect for the kids. The house provided everything we needed, and everyone felt relaxed and comfortable. The hundreds of acres surrounding the house provided fun for off roading and next time we'll be prepared to fish in the pond. The host was terrific to communicate with and the entire trip was simply excellent.
This place is absolutely beautiful. The house, the land, everything. Anyone staying here will not regret it. The living quarters are spacious and it works great for big groups. There is plenty of space outside to gather around the pool or in the yard. And the best part is the land the house sits on. It is pure Texas!
Perfect getaway for our family of 17, including 7 grandkids ages 2-10! Lots of room, comfortable beds, great outdoor spaces! Amenities were great and everything was clean and well equipped. We would definitely recommend this property!
Large space great for the whole family. Loved the pool, and the wide open back with views across to the trees. Lots of towels for bathrooms and pool. Would definitely come back.
Stayed here for a long weekend and had a great time. The property is amazing and as advertised. Host was very nice and communicative. I would highly recommend staying here.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots if fun exploring the property and gathering for fires at night. So much space for all of us to spread out, but plenty of room to all gather together for a movie or games. Personal recommendations would be to update the shower floors and have a more permanent Fire pit with seating. These would make for a higher level experience. Location was perfect to get to nearby areas (San Antonio, Austin, and Bastrop) for shopping and sightseeing. We truly hope to return again. Communication with Bobby on the few things we did need was very good. Quick to respond to us. Thank you for the perfect get away for all of us.
We were literally left speechless with smiles and laughter until the very last seconds. This is how family traditions are started and memories to treasure are created
There was tons of space at the ranch. We were able to fish, shoot our guns and relax. The house is huge.
I think there are a couple of updates that the house could use. Also we’re clean freaks so the place could have been cleaner. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Our family definitely enjoyed staying at the ranch! We enjoyed time riding around the property seeing the deer. The kitchen area has definitely been used a lot but if you are looking for a place to hang out this is it!!!!
