Bassmaster Classic Get-Away

The Pendleton Ranch was exactly what we needed for our trip to Ray Roberts Lake and Fort Worth for the Bassmaster Classic. The property my was close enough to the highway to make commuting easy but far enough away from the city where it felt like a trip to the farm. Communication with Peter was timely and the ranch was classic and tidy with plenty of amenities and things to do within minutes of the property.

Several Flaws

I booked this property because we were attending a wedding in the area and I needed space for two families. The listing showed outdoor space and a trampoline which would be great for the child who was traveling with us. We get there and there was no trampoline, not a deal breaker but very disappointing. The house seemed clean minus the floors but I think that has to do with the type of tile. There were a lot of bugs in the house but it is the country and there had been quite a bit of rain. There was a holder for paper towels in the kitchen but no paper towels so we had to go and purchase some since we were eating meals there. Which I will say was annoying since there is a full kitchen. The bed in the master bedroom had a foam mattress topper but none of the other beds did and they were like sleeping on a rock. I went out and bought a mattress topper so that I could get some rest the second night. Here is the real issue I had with the property…the ladder 4 ft from the bunk beds that appeared to lead to nowhere. I saw it in the pictures and thought we can move it or fold it up. When we got there it was bolted to the floor and had no covering to prevent a child from climbing up. In my opinion this is just asking for an accident. I am giving the property 2 stars due to the inaccurate listing and safety issues.
