We stayed at the ranch over Easter weekend with family and we couldn’t have made better memories there. The house was exactly as expected, and the owners greeted us the first day and were beyond wonderful. They made us feel welcomed and so grateful for sharing their piece of paradise with us. Our kids had a blast swimming and feeding their horses while the men spent all weekend catching fish by the pond. This was an amazing Vacay, and we would recommend anyone to book here. We will definitely be returning!
We love this place and it was our second time staying here. Definitely want to make this our yearly summer vacation. The kids love the pool, the game room and fishing. It’s a prefect location to get away from every day life and enjoy the outdoors.
Love, love this place! Enjoy the quiet, the cows, horses and the sweet barn cat. Always love the visits from Tex too. Can’t wait to come back in October.
This place was awesome. Having the Pool, fire pit with wood and the fishing pond were all a nice bonus! The owners were the nicest people and made sure everything was perfect. 15 minutes from the casino if that’s your thing. Less than 5 minutes from the lake if you want to bring your boat.
Very clean, quiet and cozy house. The pool table, pool and pond for fishing were the highlights for us. The hosts were very gracious and welcoming. We had a great time together at this home and will be back again soon!
We absolutely loved staying at this house! There was plenty of room for everyone and the house was clean. We drove in from Illinois for a family wedding and were able to get in the house early. The lake was wonderful and I caught the largest bass I’ve ever caught! The horses came to the fence and we enjoyed visiting with them. The house is secluded and quiet. It was just a short drive from the wedding reception. I hope that we can stay there again sometime!
The pictures dont do this place justice. It was beautiful, cozy, and the host are amazing. We had three generations in our group and there was plenty of space and things to do.
My large family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, well-stocked home SO much! Everyone loved fishing (caught a lot!), and the grandkids thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the heated pool! The setting is so peaceful, the perfect getaway!
Our stay was peaceful and full of relaxation time. The house is very spacious and comes with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. We were a bit disappointed that the pool never got warm enough to swim in. Apparently, the colder outside it is, the less likely that the machine will be able to warm the water enough for comfort. Only two bold kids swam in there but it was very chilly. The views are wonderful, the owners are responsive and the location was good.
We really enjoyed our stay at this ranch! Hosts greeted us the first day and answered any questions we had. With 3 generations of family - it was wonderful to be able to keep us ALL busy! The pool, the pond, the pool table, and the firepit were all used throughout the weekend! Everyone especially loved seeing all the livestock in the fields. Thanks again for a very memorable weekend for our entire family!
This house was absolutely perfect! We had a retreat and the views were so pretty! The house was so clean and stocked with all the essentials we needed! The owners are so kind! The heated pool was perfect for the rainy days! And I would absolutely stay here again!
This place is absolutely stunning. It was so peaceful and beautiful. From the pool to the stocked pond to the game room area we always were having a great time! The house was super clean and comfortable and we can’t wait to visit again!
Tex, Monica and Family, Thank you so much for sharing your amazing property with our family this weekend! So much fun was had and memories made!! The kids and adults especially enjoyed catching so many fish (catfish, bass and crappie). The pool was also a big hit! The house had everything we needed and then some!! It was nice to meet Tex when he stopped by. If you’re looking for a place to satisfy your entire family, Tex’s Ranch is your place! Our family cannot wait to come back!
Loved our stay at Tex’s Ranch. What a great home. They had everything we needed, plus some we didn’t even realize we needed. The outside was beautiful! The heated pool was so much fun for the young kids, as well as the teenager and adults. One of the best things was the fishing in the pond. The kids caught one fish after another. The adults caught only a couple, but only because they were so busy helping the kids with their catches. Another favorite was the animals. Loved when they came up to the fence, and had such a good time feeding one of the horses that came by each day. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.
This place was amazing. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The hosts were fantastic. There was a storm one night that caused power outage for the entire county. The host showed up with a generator. Fortunately, the repairs were done quickly by the power company. The entire place was so peaceful. My kids (teenagers) and wife love watching and petting the cows and horses. Fishing was also great. We caught lots of bass and catfish. The largest was a 20 lb blue cat. We plan to return if available.
Loved the heated pool, pond(fishing), farm animals frequented the property, lots of room to visit inside and out. Great grill and large fire pit. Had smores almost every night.
The house is beautiful, and we had plenty of room for our family reunion. We enjoyed the swimming in the pool, fishing in pond and playing lost of games inside and out. The kitchen has plenty of space and is well-stocked. Highly recommend this house and already planning to go back next year!
Was a great weekend. Access to the pool and fishing made it an easy decision. House slept a pile of adults comfortably.
