Thank you so much for the great review and so glad you appreciated our horses in Longhorns and as well as the view is pretty incredible too thank you again
The host Nancy was great. Communication was great. The house was wonderful. The ranch was full of wildlife deer and turkey. Beautiful scenery. They had a baby colt and 2 baby calves. Adorable. The house was clean and we had a great stay. The swing on the front porch was peaceful and quite. Lovely place.

Thank you I’m so delighted you enjoyed the peaceful setting and our baby Colton baby calves. You’re welcome back anytime.
We enjoyed the quiet morning porch sitting, watching the sunrise, listening to the birds and watching the deer, cattle and horses graze. Truly a gem of a property.
Our stay at the cabin exceeded our expectations, and was a highlight of our trip. The cabin was clean and had modern amenities (including a surprisingly nice bathroom!), and we found the furniture and bed very comfortable. It was a very cozy and comfortable blend of old and new.We also enjoyed taking a walk through the ranch and seeing the horses and longhorns, and spending an afternoon not thinking about much and being in the moment.Nancy, our host, was on top of everything. Excellent communication throughout the process. She stopped by to say hello and we got chatting about the history of the farm and the horses/longhorns, which was great.The cabin is set back from Nancy's house at a decent distance and at a good angle. So while we had privacy, it was good knowing that Nancy and her husband were nearby in case we needed anything.We will definitely stay there again if we're ever in the area.
We had a wonderful overnight stay and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The property was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host was friendly, responsive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We especially appreciated that the property was pet-friendly, which made traveling with our furry family member stress-free. The location was also fantastic—close to everything we wanted to see and do while still offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We would gladly stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by nancy smith
We live on site and absolutely love this ranch, we both enjoy horseback riding, my husband is a team roper and we both love serving others
Why they chose this property
This part of Gillespie County is less populated and has lots of valleys and hills. We love the sandy soil in this part of the county and love our neighbors
What makes this property unique
Coco's Cabin was built in the mid 1800's in Tennessee and was relocated to this property in the mid-80's. We had to put a little glam for the ladies so the Copper/Nickel bathtub is incredible.
