We had an exceptional time. We had my granddaughter's bridal tea party there and the property was spot on. Plenty of room, the girls loved the linen bed sheets and bathtubs! The outdoors, with the many different sitting areas, was a hit along with the bed swing. The friendly goats were a joy to watch. Couldn't have asked for a better location. Thank you Delinda !
We’ve have stayed here 3 times now and it’s always been so welcoming! Easy access, very clean, and the view just keeps getting better every time. The wrap around porch is amazing for sunrises, sunsets, star gazing and even watching a storm roll in. Great place to decompress!
We enjoyed a very picturesque and relaxing stay. It was a lovely place to decompress and spend quality time with family. The farm animals were sweet. Unfortunately the hot tub was out of order, but the host was quick to respond and offered to have someone come out to fix the hot tub, but we were content with the tubs.Delinda and Charles were great hosts. Delinda was happy to provide things to do, places to eat and even got us a private tour of a local ranch They are lovely people and I hope to stay there again.
Wonderful property with a beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the communication and hassle free check in and check out. Animals were wonderful!!
We stayed there to experience the ranch life and it truly was the experience we expected. My kids loved the farm animals, my dog loved the huge space to run around, we enjoyed it the patio and wood burning fire pit. We loved everything there! Will definitely book it again if need to stay in the area!

Very Nice Place and Great Host
Our experience was great. The house is ideal for a country getaway.
My family enjoyed our weekend here. The views were amazing. The animals were sweet. The kids enjoyed feeding and loving on all of them. We will be repeat renters!
DeLinda was great, the property was great. It was everything we hoped it would be!
Can’t wait to come back.
Thanks again!

Amazing, peaceful and beautiful!
The Winding Ridge bed and breakfast is way more than just a bed and breakfast. The accommodations were clean, and inviting. The house was completely stocked with everything you need and want. The grounds are beautiful and so much fun to explore. Totally kid and family friendly. We can’t wait to go back!!
My family had such a great stay at Winding Ridge! Everything about the property is inviting and relaxing, and the owners are so gracious and welcoming. One of our best vacations ever, none of us wanted to leave! My kids loved all the animals and spending so much time outdoors, the adults appreciated all the areas to sit back and relax, read a book or just enjoy the scenery. The home itself is very well appointed and comfortable. We can't wait to return!
Can’t say enough about how great our stay was!! Didn’t have to take a plane since the home was so close to the DFW area, home and amenities are A+++, super comfortable beds, beautiful location (who knew the Ennis area had rolling hills), etc. Owner is very attentive and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to families or couples just wanting to take a break.
This was one of the best vacation rentals I have had. The house was peaceful, very clean, and had every creature comfort we could ask for. There were so many little lovely touches that enhanced the experience. It was like staying at your grandma's country house - if your grandma were an art collector with a professional hospitality background. Delinda was a welcoming host, the animals were sweet, and our family can't wait to return.

Awesome secluded place
I was down for the races, my first impression was that it was an awesome place. Each day I got to look around i saw more and more. The sunsets and sunrises are awesome and the peace and quiet will slow down your heart rate! I loved it
My family and I can’t get enough of Delinda’s place. From the ranch feel when you walk in and all the other fun amenities on the property to getting the opportunity to play with all the animals, this place doesn’t disappoint! We had perfect weather while we were there, luckily. Peanut, our dog, loves it there too although the goats aren’t fans.
Thank you Delinda for sharing your little slice of heaven with us again!
This was the perfect meeting place for 2 families coming from different directions. The house was spacious, absolutely clean, and a welcoming combination of elegance and comfort. The beds were cozy, the bathroom tubs luxurious. There were lots of things to entertain young children, like a great big porch swing, a fire pit for s'mores, and the friendliest animals to pet. There was even a private reading cottage if being alone was your thing. We've met in lots of places but this home is by far the best.

Heaven on Earth
Delinda created a true haven here. Safe from worries, stress and full of relaxing, rejuvenating experience. From mind-blowing attention to detail and skillful placement, to the wholesome food and coffee provided, the whole experience sets the bar high for what good hosting truly embodies. Thank you so much for sharing your great taste and warmth, this is my second time and we will be back again soon. Kids truly loved it too, they adore the pool, roaming the grounds and petting all the animals. And we love the fact that they can go freely as the grounds are so vast.

A country escape
We have stayed in many VRBO rentals and this one is definately a favorite. The guest cottage is beautiful and very homey. Everything you could want to make your vacation relaxing is there. The kitchen is fully stocked and the beds are very comfortable. The decor is country and very charming. The photos do not do it justice. This guest house was extremely spacious for our family of four.
The guest house is on a beautiful farm with horses,donkeys and goats. Petting the animals was a highlight for all.
There is no better place to relax and unwind. We hope to return soon!
