I would give 10 stars, The Ranch is just picture perfect. The house was wonderful for three families. We ended up with 6 adults and four children and had a full bathroom for each family. The kitchen has everything we needed , bathrooms well stocked as well. It’s a beautiful home and we enjoyed it very much. Jane is a gracious host who answered all of our questions and made experience extra special.I might also mention the beds are comfortable which was a big plus for me.Mary Braswell

Beautiful location near the Grand Ivory

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room to spread out and we even got to swim in the awesome pool and catch some bass and blue gill in the ponds. Jane was very accommodating and we will stay here again.

Family stay for nearby wedding venue

We booked this for our family to stay close to a wedding venue. The house was great - super clean, very clean and well stocked. The pool and patio was an excellent place to gather. The kitchen is so well stocked and a huge dining table made meals so nice. The beds, linens, and everything was so wonderful, would love to come back another time. The owner was super responsive and so nice to deal with. The house and property made a special weekend even better. Will plan to come back another time.

Great country property!

This property was great for our family stay for a wedding weekend! The property and house was exactly as described and the owner was a joy to work with. I just wish we had booked another night or two to relax and decompress after all the wedding festivities. The next time I need a getaway weekend less than an hour from the DFW area, I will not hesitate to book this property again!

Wedding at Grand Ivory

Being only 3 miles from the Grand Ivory makes this home the perfect choice for future wedding parties. Not only is the home beautiful, but also spacious and homey. For our family, location was key. Not having to travel 30-45 min back and forth allowed for quality family time.
