Quick get away

Excellent home base as we explored several towns nearby. Breweries, wineries and shopping were all things we did. It was also nice to sit out by the fire at night as the outdoor space was great for us and our dog. We would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Overall the property was beautiful with a good location. However the cleanliness was awful, it took us a day of our vacation to clean it as there was dirt and someone else’s dog hair everywhere. The house hadn’t been dusted in a very long time, all the surfaces needed to be cleaned and the sheets on the bunk beds were not changed. The grass was also not maintained at all. Being in Texas where there are snakes it was unsafe to have the grass this long. Thankfully when a snake did jump at my daughter she had her boots on. The owners spent 2 hours on the property, while we were there collecting personal items that should’ve been done ahead of time. Surprising as it was advertised as private. Upon contacting the owners about the cleanliness of the house they did refund a cleaning fee however we still lost a day of vacation making the house habitable.

Country atmosphere close to town

We stayed 2 nights. We had everything we needed and then some! Fabulous location close to town but feels like a true country get away! The pond has a lighted fountain and benches on the pier with lighting. There is a deer feeder right beyond the pond s d the deer running across the field in the mornings was amazing. We will be booking again! If you are looking for the perfect get away this is the spot!!!

Family NYE Getaway

We loved our family getaway to the Howdy Ranch. We stayed with our son (7), daughter (10) and golden-doodle for 3 days between Christmas and new years and had a blast! We kept ourselves busy taking the Jon boat out on the pond, fishing, looking for wildlife, roasting s’mores on the fire pit, and running into town for a few meals. The house was perfect our family of 4 and was well stocked and clean. TV and internet worked great when we needed the occasional downtime from being outside on the property. The dog shower was super helpful as our pup loved running around the acreage and taking the occasional dip in the pond.

A Peaceful, Restful Haven

Wide open spaces. A pond. Plenty of deer. A beautiful, comfortable home. And all only five minutes from town. This was just the peace and quiet that we were looking for. We left for home feeling rested and relaxed, and are looking forward to coming back.
