This home is on a 2200 acre working cattle and pecan ranch. The home is very nice, but the setting is what i loved the most. We were all grieving over a family member who had passed but the home was a wonderful , peacful pkace to spend with family and friends during such a difficult time. The hostess was so nice and very responsive to us.

Horse Show Gals

My friends and I stayed here for a couple of nights while we were attending our horse show. The house was very clean and had all of the amenities which was awesome! We were able to have everything we needed to cook our meals. I personally recommend this place if you need somewhere to stay in Hamilton. It's on a beautiful piece of property! The property managers are very accommodating and kind!

Lovely property and experience

We LOVED this place! The cattle were all around the house. The host was so gracious and kind with our four year old, she was able to feed the donkeys and horses. We went on nature walks, at one point the horses were running free and it was just absolutely lovely and serene. We will definitely be back!

Very relaxing

The property is a working ranch and the house is about a half mile from the main highway. So, easy access, but not traffic noise. The kitchen is well appointed, as is the outdoor gas grill. We cooked a bunch with our family and loved it. The house is basically all new inside, including all appliances. I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing stay in the country!

Great Location and Hospitality!

The house is on a working cattle ranch, was roomy, comfortable and cozy. The owner is on property, was very helpful and friendly. The house was a short easy drive to the Circle T arena in Hamilton. I would recommend this location and will likely stay again when in the area. The only downside is there is very limited cell service (none for Verizon) so take care of your electronic communications prior to heading to the house. I personally enjoyed to peace and quiet! I recommend this property when staying in the area or just looking for a peaceful quiet getaway!

Unique Experience

.We loved our stay at Artesian Ranch; the house is very comfortable and attractive with a large well-appointed kitchen. Next time we go, I might even cook! The pecan orchard is gorgeous and the cattle give a real pastoral, idyllic sense. This property is so beautiful and quiet, even though it is a large, working ranch. The Stallings' work and obvious appreciation of the land is evident. We are anxious to try the Akaushi beef we purchased from our host, Susie. She was a delight to meet. We ventured to Hico for the Steak Cook-Off – unique affair for sure.

Wonderful Stay & Wonderful Location

We had an absolutely wonderful stay on this working ranch. The house we rented was very clean, had all the amenities and the hosts Susie and her husband Tim were fantastic. Susie was very responsive to our requests and showed us around including meeting her pride donkey's. We rent properties often and this is by far the nicest house we've rented. We also liked there was a fence around our house so that we could let our two Greyhounds out off leash. We did some nice walks on the property and we drove North to Comanche TX to explore the town and get some dinner. There is no doubt we will be going back. Craig

Labor Day weekend Getaway

We were extremely pleased with this outing. Property was like brand-new, in a classic ranch setting under wonderful pecan, oaks, and others and the best dark sky stars. Suzanne met us at the drive, with all the details and a short tour. The house was very well supplied, and perfectly comfortable for our family gathering. We had requested their locally sourced Angus beef, and it was waiting in the freezer, and sumptuous from the grill! Morning group coffee under the pecans, with foxes running across the meadow to the river was idyllic. Our idea of night life is dominos at the dining table, so did not mind the 12-14 miles to either of the towns. This was just what we wanted, and we would gladly be their guests again.

Perfect.

The house is so nice and roomy and had everything we needed. Susie and Tim were great hosts and a pleasure to interact with. We purchased some beef from the cows they raise on the ranch and it was AMAZING. The Leon river is about 1/4 miles walk from the house. It was really hot, but we still spent a lot of time exploring that area. We drove half an hour to Proctor Lake to swim. It wasn't too busy and it was nice to get in some water. We also drove to the Veldhuizen Cheese Shoppe in Dublin where they make raw milk cheeses. We bought a lot of cheese and got to try a lot more! Everything was very comfortable and cozy. Would definitely stay here again!

Good To Be Back

This was our second stay and there is no doubt we'll be back. The house is perfect for our needs, is always clean, well equipped and we love the fact it has a garage so our car is protected and kept out of the sun. We love the location and the ranch on which the house is located. The surrounding scenery is lovely and its great to see the cattle, donkey's and horses to name but a few. Yesterday evening we were walking our dogs in one of the fields and three horses came running up to check out our Greyhounds. Susie, the property manager is fantastic, very helpful and always making sure we have everything we needed and that the property is perfect for us. This is our second time to this property and we will definitely be back. I'd highly recommend it.

Perfect escape from the city

Loved our stay. Well appointed and property managers are so friendly and have great communication. Property is in the middle of a cattle and pecan tree farm, so it is very serene and relaxing, and perfect place to truly unplug. It’s less than 20 minutes in either direction of grocery stores, a winery, gas station, etc. Do know that when you come here, you’ll truly be “unplugged” as cell network doesn’t really work unless you are on ATT. I didn’t realize this coming out, but it was also a blessing in disguise. 😊 We brought our pups with us and they enjoyed the fenced yard. It was nice to let them run while we enjoyed the outdoors too. Hope to be back!
