There are many times where a listing does not live up to expectations, this one os not the case. the description is perfect. the home was ideal. i would come here again!
We visited family nearby and this property was the perfect location for our coming & going for Labor Day weekend! Hosts were very attentive and accommodating!
The house was completely equipped with EVERYTHING that we needed. The beds slept well and were clean. Plenty of towels and necessary items were provided. The property is very secluded which we loved.
What a wonderful place to spend time with your family. If you love the country, you will love spending time on the ranch. Wish Texas wasn’t in a drought, we missed playing in the creek. Thank you Tina 🐂
This place was perfect for our family to get away and experience country living. We explored the beautiful property, played in the creek and spent hours sitting on the back porch. The beds were perfect, lots of towels and linens, basic necessities in kitchen. Tina is a wonderful host that communicates quickly. We hope to stay again someday.
We had a great time at this cattle ranch, the kids especially. They were eager to go outdoors and explore the loop up on the ridge and see how the herd would move from field to field. The house was plenty big enough for the six of us, and we sure enjoyed the quietness at night. The hosts were easy to communicate with, and even returned a forgotten item by one of our kids - and they denied payment for the shipping. For the next family event in Lampasas and we will return here.
The property was peaceful and exactly as described. We enjoyed watching the stars at night by the fire. The house was big enough for me and my three grown sons. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. We had several questions prior to our visit and the owner responded quickly. There were no issues during our visit and we really enjoyed our visit.
Very private and safe. Fun nature walks and wildlife viewing area.

Ugh
This house looked ideal from the pictures. However, when we arrived the creek was dried up, there were wasps swarming the house (my son was attacked just walking outside), the a/c broke twice (it was 85 degrees) and there were scorpions and spiders everywhere inside the house. This house could be great place with some work. My family was just ultimately disappointed and left a day early because we were all miserable.
If you want peace and quiet from the city, this is the place to be. You have a big house all well prepared for you and outdoor grilling ready to use. This place is good for those wanting to see nature also, we saw deer; turkeys; cattle; squirrels; and other little creatures in the wild. The creeks are easy access to walk around the 200 acres of land. Great for outdoors people, who want to explore. If you got a truck or utility vehicle, it would be better to drive around. We took our car which was fine but I would have preferred a truck or utility vehicle.
