About this property

Luxury Ranch House on Operating Ranch w/ Pool & Activities

Come enjoy some of the most stunning countryside views from our authentic Texas ranch. Our custom, newly remodeled Homestead sits on top of one of the highest hills in Hood County and provides a modern, western feel with great amenities such as a heated pool, a fire pit, a game pit (putting green, corn hole and horseshoes), and a covered outdoor kitchen. You will find yourself feeling rejuvenated as the sun rises and sets over the most charming Texas landscapes in the DFW area.

THE SPACE
Located an hour outside of DFW, our ranch-style Homestead is uniquely situated on top of one of the highest hills in the area and is the perfect place for a weekend retreat, a family reunion, or a group of friends looking to escape the city.

The newly remodeled ranch-style house is 6000 sq. ft. with 6 bedrooms/6 bathrooms and can sleep 18 people. Each bedroom is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The house is very spacious with a large living room and dining room, a barroom, and a billiards room. You will have access to the 3-acre yard which includes a swimming pool (heated upon request IF the weather stays above 45 degrees, for an addition $150/day and 2 day minimum), a covered outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a 9-hole putting green, two corn hole boards, and two horseshoe pits.

We encourage our guests to relax, take in the sounds of nature, and enjoy the peaceful, quiet setting as you lounge by our pool. We provide pool towels and a limited number of pool floats for our guests.

Plenty of parking is available in the driveway and around the yard.

If you need something from town, the property is a 15-minute drive to the nearest small town, Lipan. Here you will find a gas station, a Dollar General, a bakery (hours vary), and a pizzeria (hours vary). In the opposite direction, within a 15-minute drive, you will find a Mexican restaurant called Garcia’s. Granbury is a 25-minute drive and Weatherford is a 30-minute drive, both of which you can find many restaurants and shops.

The ranch is rurally located, so we encourage you to bring food and groceries so that you can enjoy your time on the property without having to drive to town.

We offer additional activities on our ranch for an ADDITIONAL price, upon request. These activities include: fishing, bicycle trail riding, and a shooting range.

We're very willing to accommodate events or other requests such as birthday parties, weddings, meetings, or corporate events. All events will be priced in addition to the nightly rate and details (number of guests, length of stay, etc.) will determine the event fee. Please send over any details you have when making an inquiry. ALL PARTIES AND EVENTS must be approved by us before booking. The maximum number of guests allowed at the house is 18 unless otherwise approved. If you are looking to book any event for more than 18 people, please contact us for more information about pricing.

Our property is an operating ranch and located in nature, so you can expect to find all types of creepy crawlies. Make sure you pack bug spray and appropriate shoes if you plan on spending time outside walking around. There are two dogs on the property that sometimes make their way from the Farmhouse yard to the Homestead yard. They are friendly, but if you have a fear of dogs, please let us know so we can secure them during your stay. There is also a barn cat that roams the yard.

We do have barns and farm animals at our Farmhouse which is in a separate yard from the Homestead yard. THIS AREA IS OFF-LIMITS TO OUR GUESTS. Guests are encouraged to request additional information if you desire to have walking access at our ranch.

We look forward to hosting you! Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

GUEST ACCESS
You will have access to the Homestead house, pool area, outdoor kitchen area, and game pit area. You will NOT have access to any other houses, barns, garages, or buildings on the property. If you wish to have additional walking access outside of the yard, please request more information upon booking.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Our pool is professionally serviced on Tuesday mornings, so there is no pool access on Tuesdays from 12 PM - 4 PM. Our guests are responsible to ensure child safety around the pool.

We have ranch-hands that will be working around the property during the weekdays.

We also have another house for rent, in the same yard as this house, for two extra guests.

Family Thanksgiving Get Together !!
We had an amazing time!!! Our home was everything we expected It to be!! It was clean, warm and inviting yet rustic and ready for outdoor adventures!!! There were enough rooms and bathrooms for our whole family and kids! The kitchen was very well stocked!! We heated the pool everyday and the whole family swam every day!! The kiddos multiple times a day!! We utilized all the available activities the house provided! The only thing we did not get to do was the shooting range! So we must come back next year!! We catered barbecue and hired live music for entertainment our last night there for a good ole family backyard dance!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a lovely place for us to host our family get together!!

Just - - - WOW!!
Ali and Dani were so helpful in making our family vacation amazing! Great communication and genuinely wanted to ensure that we had everything we needed at all times. The property is beautiful!! The outdoor area was our favorite with a pool, outdoor kitchen/bar, beautiful views, majestic oaks that were lit at night, horseshoes, minigolf and bean bags. Inside is beyond compare with ample bedrooms/bathrooms, tastefully decorated with enough western influence to provide that ranch experience we were looking for. The FULLY stocked kitchen and amenities provided were appreciated! Plenty of life preservers and pool toys to keep everyone floating and happy! We enjoyed fishing in the pond and doing yoga on the green at the event center. Ali generously offered a tour of the farmyard which is noted as a favorite memory for many of us. Our grandchildren were allowed to hold chickens!! A big deal for these city kids! There was no need to leave the property to find something to occupy our time - the days were filled with the activities provided. I am finding that my words cannot express the appreciation we have for the experience we shared as a family at Diamond A Ranch. Thank you to the entire staff!

Awesome play to stay. Enough activities to keep the kids entertained with swimming, horseshoes, cornhole, pool table and fishing. The views were beautiful. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, even extra things we don't usually see in a rental. If you like country, isolated setting, nice accommodations and enough space for a larger group, it's a great place to be.
