We had a great stay at Southern Star Ranch! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful pool and back patio. The home is well equipped and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The property is well maintained and very nice!
Stay here! We had a girl trip this past weekend here. They were absolutely amazing and welcoming. Remained available for any questions we had. Check in and check out were simple and clear. We felt right at home!
We enjoyed our stay at the Southern Star Ranch. It was perfect in every way. The hosts were very attentive and a pleasure to visit with. If you love staying in the country, but being close enough to town if you need anything, this will meet all of your expectations.
I had an awesome time at this property. I have previously stayed here and it was wonderful. The tour we were given before the stay was very helpful. I will be back!
Beautiful home, decor, surroundings, very peaceful and relaxing. Home is very spacious, comfortable furniture and beds. It was perfect for our adult family of 6. Almost everything you need is supplied. Definetely recommend and would stay again.
It is a beautiful home with great furnishings, gathering areas and a great pool. The porch was lovely for sitting any time of day. The kitchen had everything we needed with extras like napkins, plastic silverware, salt and pepper, and many other basics you might need. All applicances worked great, beds were comfortable, A/C worked well. Great seating area in den, office area perfect for setting up games or puzzles. It also had a floor standing video games with many options includeing lot of the old standards - Pacman, Frogger etc. Kids loved it. Extra freezer, washer and dryer, dishwasher, great a/c, all sorts of little extras that make sure your visit goes smoothly. Landscaping was lovely - featured many Texas natives and other plantings perfect for the area - very attractive and brought hummingbirds early and late in day. lap blankets and beach towels in baskets so they could be grabbed if needed. Great grill outside altho we did not use it - perfect place for family gatherings. There were many small helpful and charming touches throughout, and I am sure I have missed naming a few - but it was truly set up for comfort and convenience. This was our 2nd stay there and our first choice for special family celebrations. Only an hour away from Houston so a great weekend getaway without excess travel time. Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We appreciated the efficient air conditioning in the Texas summer heat. The outdoor spaces are incredible and the pool and outdoor kitchen are perfect for family gatherings. I highly recommend this property and will plan to stay here on future visits to the area.
Lovely home, peaceful and tranquil outdoor surroundings, well stocked with all essentials, clean. I highly recommend this home and would book again when in the area.
The house and pool are wonderful. The property manager is great showed us around and how things worked. Would gladly stay again. Thank you for the hospitality!
We had an absolutely perfect stay at this stunning country property! The outdoor kitchen was a dream—fully equipped and ideal for cooking and dining under the stars. The oasis-style pool was the highlight of our days—private, serene, and beautifully designed. Every detail of the home was thoughtful and made us feel completely relaxed and at home. We can't wait to come back for the third time!
We three 50-something women throw off our responsibilities for a week each summer and stay at this lovely ranch. This was year four for us. We spend hours in the pool, at the kitchen table, on the couches talking, eating, laughing. Getting away from it all is the point, and Southern Star Ranch offers us that.
Our stay was sweet, clean, comfortable, and relaxing! I packed everything I thought I’d need, and whatever I didn’t pack was available to us there. The beds were comfy and the night was breezy and calm. We definitely plan on returning next summer!!!
