Hill country stay
The property itself was perfect for our large family. Plenty of space and well maintained and pretty much everything we wanted. The only disappointment was the pickleball courts. One had very large cracks and was unplayable and potentially dangerous. The other court had many cracks but not as large and we used that one.

Great Experience at Stone Haven Ranch
We were interested in a place that had room for our family of 22 adults, teens and children. We hoped for a retreat from the busyness of our lives and time to be together. We needed to cook together and play games together, be in a pool together. We also wanted access to grocery shopping, cafes, museums and outdoor activities.This VRBO was ideal for all of this. We loved our stay!

80 yr birthday family gathering
The property was groomed very nicely with beautiful scenic views. The main home and cottages were updated and very clean. For a home rental that housed 22 guests, the kitchen was a bit small and limited on cool air flow, could use a second handy fridge and larger dining seating area. We like to sit together as a family and break bread. The back porch is lovely space for a small group with ceiling fans. We had fantastic weather in July! Would definitely rent this again.

Wonderful weekend
The property was perfect for our family group of 17. Single son took cottage. 2 couples in Carriage House and Two couples in Ranch House. Hubby and me and 6 grandkids in main house.
Ping pong a big hit with our group. Also pool and pickle ball enjoyed as well as horse shoes and ring toss. Youngest daughter brought their 4 square volleyball net and set it up near Carriage house.
Kitchen in main house, where we cooked most meals was well stocked. A big plus was the wet bar with ice maker and drink frig. Used propane grill one evening. Worked great. Best part was the Aggie spatula for grill….we have 3 Aggie grads and one Aggie sophomore.
Guess the only con would be not enough indoor seating for meal time but we managed. Another round table with 8 chairs would help in game room. There is room to add even with ping pong table.
Not impressed with fancy stove but that is preference. Crazy ants in bathrooms and found no bug spray so maybe add that.
I always bring extra toilet paper and paper towels but plenty of TP and only used one of our PT but we were also using for napkins. Plenty of trash bags.
Plenty of seating around pool. One umbrella was broken.
Nice restroom at pool house.
Boo and Simba are sweet. Simba is spoiled and we helped. Animal lovers. Can’t say enough about how wonderful the weekend was and how much we enjoyed your home. Highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing.

Love, love, love
For 14 years a group of women has been getting together one weekend each summer. There are 15+ women and we stay at a different location each year so finding a place can sometimes be difficult. As the planner, Stonehaven made me look like a rockstar. This place was ideal for our gathering and definitely in the top 3 of the places we have stayed. Everyone was so impressed with the whole property. We've run into various glitches at places throughout our years but there was not a single problem all weekend. Everything from cleanliness to the smallest details (awesome shampoo/conditioner/body wash) was great. We always get a private pool (super nice) but the pickleball courts were an added bonus.
If we ever decide to go back to a place, we would not hesitate coming back to Stonehaven. Thanks for making this year's Girls' Weekend Getaway memorable.

Perfect Reunion House
We had an amazing long weekend at Stonehaven. There was was plenty of room for the 12 adults and 8 kids that came. It’s close enough to town for grocery runs but far enough to feel like you’re on your own ranch. The private houses made naps east for the little ones.

Family reunion
Very good property. some pros and cons.
Pros:
large space, nice pool (pool boy on thursdays), nice outdoor area, great smoker, ping pong table, kitchen in main house is far from the rooms so no one wakes up when you are making coffee. the house was clean. check in process was easy.
cons:
kitchen in main house has very weak oven and even weaker AC (AC was fine the rest of the property). Although communication was prompt, the person I was talking to didn't seem to know the place well, as in I asked about wifi in the cottage house and I was told there wasn't any wifi at the other houses except main but there was. In addition, I recommend putting in bunk beds in one of the rooms in the main house as this house will likely host families with kids. the dining room was unfortunately small for the number of people on the property.
Nonetheless, it was a great weekend, the pool was a big hit. the owner was kind enough to mail my nieces insulin that we forgot in the fridge. would recommend knowing the things I know now!

Simba was really good at sneaking in for treats so if you have cat allergies be aware. Be on the lookout for creepy crawlies if you have small children but that is the nature of being out in the country. Overall we loved our stay!
