This active ranch is spacious, clean and tucked away from neighbors. The deer and turkey were fun to watch. The stars are just beautiful. The house welcomed 4 adults comfortably. The kitchen has everything you need!

WONDERFUL STAY

The pictures are beautiful, but in-person the property is GORGEOUS!! Wonderfully decorated, you can tell the owners put alot of love into their home! You can feel the stress melting away. Yes there are some bugs (not in the house) but hey you are in the Texas Hill Country. Well stocked all around! Breezy front porch and awesome gameroom. Christy and Jason (caretakers) were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! They made us feel at home and any questions we had were answered right away! They were just a text away! Thank y'all so much for the great memories! If you rent this place you will absolutely not be disappointed!!!

What a beautiful property! My husband and his friends enjoyed a great birthday weekend at this beautiful house. They went to Fredricksburg one day and visited Grape Creek Vinyard and did some shopping. The rest of the weekend was cooking and hanging in the man cave. Great house!

Wonderful getaway

Our family was looking to get out of the city and enjoy nature and we got exactly that. The drive from Johnson City was lovely and the landscape was beautiful (we got to enjoy wildflowers too). The house had everything we needed and was a very comfortable ranch house. There were interesting books to read, fun decor, comfortable beds, and the water pressure was excellent. The hosts were helpful and kind and we can't wait to return!

Beautiful property. Home is very nice. However, lots and lots of stickers, main shower did not work and it wasn’t very clean. Low water pressure which is understandable..

Peace and Serenity

MI would Definitely stay here again. We enjoyed our visit. The house was perfect. The scenery wasn't incredible and ost of all the game rooms made it all worth it. The only thing negative I would say is that the master bedroom is a bit hot with no circulation, but it cools down at night. There is very low water pressure throw out all the showers. But that is variable for what you get on the price of the stay. The drive from Fredericksburg and Johnson city is longer than id like, but worth it. Other than that our stay was perfect. Great host. Very friendly and gave us our privacy.

Weekend Getaway

The house was clean and very comfortable. We saw deer, birds, wild turkeys, and even some antelope. Of course, there were horses and cattle. It is about 40 minutes to Fredericksburg, but the drive was easy. We are from Dallas, so getting away from the city noise was great and worth the drive. We had fun playing pool, boardgames, and shuffleboard. We did not have any cellphone services for our AT&T or T-Mobile phones, however, we used Wifi calling using the internet at the house and didn't miss a call. We wanted to get away from the city and have some family time. We were able to do that and had a great time.

Country at its finest

We arrived very late. It was a little confusing to find in the dark, but not impossible. Day time, no problem. The house is beautiful. The game room was a lot of fun. The critters that frequent the land and feeders were abundant. The weather was gorgeous, so it was real nice sitting outside listening to the cows chatter. Chris was very responsive when I had questions. Great place

Overdue vacation get-away

We spent four days with friends at this gorgeous property. It's a little remote, but that's what made it so fun! The property itself has deer, pigs, and turkeys, 650 acres, and a spring fed creek/river. About 15-20 minutes to Johnson City and 35-40 to Fredericksburg.

Wonderful Hidden Retreat

Wonderful place for those who want to be away from the bustle of the area. Close enough to visit the local wineries, distilleries, and shopping but off the path enough to get away from it all. Hate to write a review as this could become a place that may not be available very often if it is discovered!

Absolutely Magnificent

Pictures just don’t do justice. When we pulled up there were deer and turkey feeding in front of the house. The house was so nice inside and really has everything that you could possibly need. The game room puts this place over the top. But beyond all of that, the views of the beautiful country that this place sits on is truly breathtaking. Make sure not to forget to take a walk down to the creek which has a nice place to swim and enjoy the waterfalls. The only drawback is it is quite a drive from Fredericksburg, but if your looking for that secluded getaway then look no further! Also, Crisilda was a great host and does a wonderful job managing this property! Highly recommend

PERFECT FAMILY GETAWAY SPOT

We absolutely loved our stay at the ranch. We have young adult kids and they were never bored. House is very comfortable and clean. We did a lot of exploring and hiking around the creek (which seemed more like a river with little falls). There were a few pigs, cows & a horse on the property. We saw lots of deer too. Our favorite was this friendly little dog who was an unexpected visitor - he hung out with us at the creek and most of the day until his owner came looking for him :). The game room is perfect and we used it ALOT! I can see how you could never need to leave the property during a stay. We ventured over to Fredricksberg for wine tastings - 30 min drive from the house. Perdenales falls 20 min away. We would stay here again for sure!!!

Great place to relax.

Next time we stay there, we will buy groceries at HEB & cook most of our meals. Restaurants were good but the house was set up where we never had to leave. We enjoyed playing shuffle board & pool. And sitting outside listening to the turkeys. And watching the deer eat. We hope to go there next year again.

Great place to get away

This was a wonderful home on a working ranch. Loved the animals and the view from the property. My family enjoyed the game room in the evenings (and, throughout the day...thanks to the ice storm). The fire place in the living area was wonderful since we could not enjoy the outdoor pit. Was able to grill food under the back porch which really was convenient. This is really a great property and my family had such a wonderful time...convenient to Fredericksburg and wineries.
