This cozy country cottage located on my 40 acre ranch is the perfect place to recharge completely. When you enter my ranch the long driveway lined with a split rail fence take you over my wooden bridge and guide you to your sanctuary. You will be surrounded by Live Oaks as you sit and have coffee on the quaint front porch, or in the evening enjoy your wine and cocktails with the backdrop of the gorgeous setting sun. At night you can sit by the campfire and roast marshmallows with the provided sticks. I will be happy to start the fire for you. I don’t have horses, but their are cows grazing in the front pasture.
This rental also offers an impressive outdoor kitchen with a hammock, charcoal barbecue, stove, refrigerator, dart board and a big wooden table with a lazy Susan. This is a 1/1 with a king sized bed. It’s meant for two people but the couch does have two comfortable recliners and there is a twin sized blow up mattress available.
Both the outdoor kitchen and the cottage have a full set of dishes and cookware. I provide the coffee, water, and a limited amount of snacks. There are two televisions in the cottage as well as laundry facilities. The cottage seats two for dinner but the outdoor kitchen seats 10. There are board games and cards available if you want to have some good ole fashion fun.
I am a wildlife rehabber so don’t be surprised if Goldie Fawn comes to visit you. I mostly rescue raccoons, but you will not see them unless you want to meet them. My ranch home is located far from yours and we can’t see each other. You will have your privacy but I will be available to answer your questions.
Please view the photos as they speak for themselves. I have stalls available for an extra fee if you are traveling with horses. There is a pond by my house that has Tilapia, Catfish, Brim, and small Bass. You are welcome to fish, just give me a heads up.
I only allow small dogs to run free and I allow larger dogs on a leash. These restrictions are due to my rescue endeavors and the safety of my releases. I have two dogs. but I know they are good with the babies since they helped raise them. I look forward to speaking with you via text or in person. Come and enjoy “The King Ranch”!

The cottage was perfect. A nice, relaxing getaway from the stresses of everyday life. We had the pleasure of watching wildlife as deer roamed in the morning and raccoons creeped at night. A wonderful experience.
Peaceful, loved listening to the cows and roosters in the early morning while sitting on the porch drinking our coffee.Daily visits from the dog’s were a plus. Sleeping in the hammock and sitting by the fire was very relaxing for my wife and I. Our host was also responsive in a timely manner . We hope to visit again soon !
Spent 3 weeks in paradise! Our host Beverley was wonderful...the place is perfect to unwind and relax. Shopping was convenient and there were some good restaurants near by. The home is very well stocked with everything you need to make wonderful meals. The wildife is fun to watch every evening. If its a beach you want ..you can make a day trip to several in the area...all about 2 hrs away with heavy traffic..We will definitely be back!

Thank you for the nice review. You were wonderful guests. Thank you for feeding my rescued wildlife.
It was very cozy. Couch was VERY comfortable. Not something we run into a lot. As much as we loved the quiet (other than the wildlife) seclusion, Bella was the hit. Their dog. Host was very nice. House was well stocked. We will probably stay there again just because we liked it so much. Outdoor kitchen was amazing! VERY nice. Not cheesy at all. It was spacious for 2 people and 2 dogs.
A relaxing and magical place for your escape and mental peace. The place was excellent, and the check-in process was magnificent, with excellent communication from the host. This place is a paradise to clear your mind. Thank you so much for all the attention, Kevin, Lorena and Lilo
Very peaceful, relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle with ample opportunities to see wildlife. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and our daily visits from Riley the resident ranch dog !
Beautiful in quiet place to stay for nature lovers
Perfect stay for anyone that likes the outdoors. Had everything that you needed already there. Was so quiet and peaceful and comfortable. Enjoyed all the wildlife creatures also that came to visit. Definitely would recommend staying there and I definitely will stay there again. again again staying there and
We had a great time enjoyed the outdoor kitchen area and the fire pit a lot. The deer were fun to feed and watch would definitely recommend it to others.

Loved the outdoor space and kitchen. So quiet and peaceful. Beautiful ranch to stay on, we will be back.
Great little hidden gem not far from town. Well appointed cozy place and bonus outdoor kitchen/gathering area. Our pup had a great weekend with us and felt right at home from the onset. Everything was wonderful, we were attending a wedding party at a small ranch on Kirby Thompson and this was an amazing find just down the road. We really enjoyed the wildlife (raccoons, deer, cattle & plenty of birds) and Riley’s (ranch dog) company was a bonus. Definitely a repeat for us. Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of paradise.
