About this property

Smoky Hill Ranch, 8 Acres, 2 Homes, Events, Sport Court, Fishing, & Fire Pits

Smoky Hill Ranch is a one-of-a-kind destination that offers the perfect combination of luxury and nature. Located just 45 minutes from Fort Worth, we are an easily accessible destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The ranch offers a wide range of amenities and activities that cater to all interests and ages. Whether you're looking to spend quality time with family and friends or host a special event, Smoky Hill Ranch is the ideal destination.

THE RANCH HOUSE: (Sleeps 13)
The main ranch house is a modern open living concept and offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with a wrap around front porch with comfortable seating and games overlooking the pond.

Kitchen: One of favorite spaces at Smoky Hill Ranch is the kitchen! The kitchen is open to the living area so large groups can enjoy being together. We spent a lot of time thinking about how to make this a comfortable and inviting space for our guests. We offer all the cooking wares and utensils you could need to prepare and serve a delicious meal for all of your guests: pots & pans, dinner service for 19​ guests (plates, bowls, silverware, and kitchen basics).


Living Area: The living area of the main ranch house is the perfect place for families and friends to relax and unwind. While cozying up on the sofa, you have the most amazing views of the wood burning fireplace and wrap around front porch that look out onto the pond. You can pull out a board game or turn your attention to the large 75 inch Smart TV with Youtube TV provided, or login to your own streaming services and pick up right where you left off on your favorite shows.

Bedroom 1- The downstairs primary bedroom offers a king size bed, flat screen TV, office nook with wireless printer, large walk in closet, and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk in shower.

Bedroom 2- The downstairs second bedroom offers a queen size bed, direct access to the wrap around porch, and a full en suite bathroom.

Bedroom 3- The second upstairs bedroom offers two queen beds, flat screen TV, and a twin bed looking out towards the pond.

OUTDOORS:
The outdoor area of Smoky Hill Ranch is our favorite part for many reasons! Smoky Hill Ranch offers access to full size sport court with in ground adjustable basketball hoops, two separate fire pits to gather around, 24x36 covered pavilion, outdoor games including corn hole, oversized jenga, four across, a stocked pond for fishing, and outdoor dining tables. In the evenings or early morning you can sit outside and enjoy the peaceful, relaxing views of wildlife, take a hike or bike though miles of trails at the Acton Nature Center located less than a mile away (.5 miles).

Family Getaway
I can not express how wonderful this property was for our family. We never left the property with so many things to do for every age. A pond for fishing, swimming, paddle boating. A basketball court/pickle ball. Which can I just say our family learned how to play pickle ball and fell in love with the sport. Had tournaments all weekend. Picnic tables and fire pits. We sat outside roasting s’mores and singing by the fire. It was just the Best place and time had by all. The kitchen was fully supplied. And the house was just Beautiful. No words to describe how perfect this place is from top to bottom. The owners responded to every question within minutes. And was a joy to work with. We are so blessed to have found this place and grateful for the sweet family for sharing it with us.

Fantastic place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The listing is everything is says and more! Lots of activities to do and a beautiful setting for photos. Very clean, comfy beds, and all the amenities you can think of. We were missing dish towels and really wanted a card table to do a jigsaw puzzle on- requested from Chandler and she delivered both right away... excellent customer service!!! I can't recommend this place enough!
