We have spent the month of March for the past three years at Julie's ranch. If you like quiet and serenity, this is a place for you. The view is fantastic!!!! You couldn't ask for a better place to stay when you are in Texas Hill Country. We enjoyed taking walks on the property and looking for fossils. If you love animals, their animals will love you right back. We were greeted most mornings by three of their dogs, and sometimes even more. We found when they talk about Texas hospitality, they are telling the truth. We not only fell in love with the ranch, but with Julie and JoeMike. They are terrific people and always willing to help us as needed. Be sure not to miss the 11th Street Cowboy Bar on Wednesday night. No matter what your age, you'll have a great time there. For great Mexican food stop in to Taqueria Aguascalientes. Other restaurants we enjoyed in town were Sid's Main Street BBQ and the Grotto. It's worth the ride to sample some gourmet food at Mac & Ernie's in Tarpley. You are right in the heart of hill country and no matter which way you travel. you'll see some beautiful scenery. If you like cajun food, Pat O'Brien's in San Antonio is a great place to visit. You won't be far from the Riverwalk either. There is so much to see and do in the area that you won't be bored. We would highly recommend a month at Julie's ranch, or try their cabin for a week or two. The weather was great, and we enjoyed seeing everything blossom as the month went on. We guarantee you'll enjoy your stay in hill country.

Stayed here Last Summer with My 15 year old son for One Month. What a piece of Heaven in the Country. The House is so Great and The Owners are So Gracious. I miss this place and the Great time they showed us. We could not have asked for a more Fantastic stay. Their Great and Friendly Dogs are the Icing on the Cake. I can not Wait until I can return with the Rest of my Family. I just hope the Next time they have had some rain and they get their lake back up and filled with some of God's Water. But even without the Rain it was one of the Best Vacation Spots I have ever Encountered in my Life. We think of this Place every day with Fond memories. Thank-you for you Great Home. God Bless..

I stayed in the house for a couple of months while working on a project in San Antonio. Everything was perfect. The deer through out the property, the bass, perch and catfish in the lake and the great scenery are one of a kind. Countless hours were spent after work by the waterfall enjoying the good life.
