Enjoy sitting in your rocking chair on the front porch with a view of the barn and secluded open field surrounded by 200 foot large oak, pine, and magnolia trees. There is plenty of room for the kids to play baseball, soccer, football, or a game of horse shoes. The front porch is best for enjoying the large hawks and sunsets. The back porch is eight feet from a natural spring creek which is usually shallow clear flowing water that provides a splashing good time for the kids or enjoyable cool water sounds for adults without children. The evening brings out a variety of wildlife including lightening bugs, owls, racoon, deer and much more.

The interior has a large den with fireplace, beautiful wood walls through-out, and is furnished with heavy Texas Pine kitchen table seats(six) and (three) stools for breakfast bar. Two large comfy leather couches and cowhide armoire with satellite TV/VCR.Master bedroom has Texas Star pine queen bed and second bedroom has twin beds. There are two futon mattresses in the closet for guests. The two leather couches provide a comfortable nights rest.

After your rested take a five mile drive to Double lake for canoeing, fishing or paddle boats or (seven miles) to historic Cold Spring for antiqueing, museums, and enjoy home-cooking at Elaine's Cafe. Lake Livingston (eight miles) provides boating or golf at the beautiful Cape Royal. My prediction is once you arrive at River Creek Ranch you won't want to leave. Enjoy!

  • This was our first family vacation since our middle daughter was married last November. The 6 of us (including new son-in-law) and their 8-month old Teacup Yorkie had a truly wonderful time at the cabin. It rained heavily during the Saturday night and on into the Sunday, but the tin roof made this a relaxing experience. We plan on staying again, when time permits us all to get together once more. Many thanks - The McLendons/Campbells!

  • We absolutely loved staying at your cabin. It is so gently tucked away on beautiful property, yet conveniences are close by in Coldspring. The cabin has all the comforts of home and is well maintained. Our sweet old dog loved exploring the cleared yard and creek. It was the perfect get-away week for us. Thank you, Mike & Evelyn

  • We wanted a quiet and secluded spot to spend some time together before Army Dr. John has to ship out for a 15 month stay in Iraq. The little log cabin was perfect, we built fires in the fireplace, hiked around the wooded property, and sat with hot coffee on the covered porch in the rain and watched the creek rise. My silly little city dog got to feel the call of the wild a bit too. It was hard to leave.

  • We stayed a long weekend at the cabin and it was a wonderful and relaxing time. Cabin is well equipped and decorated very Texas appropriate - state flags & cowhide! Sitting on the front porch in the huge rockers, drinking coffee and looking out on nature and quietness just can't be beat - will be back in the spring for my granddaughter to play in the creek and romp in the fields! Went shopping in the little unique shops in "downtown" Coldspring - very quaint and neat stuff - purchased a few gifts for family, friends & myself! Would go back to the cabin in a heartbeat! Owner very easy and pleasant to work with.

  • RiverCreek Ranch cannot be described. It must be "experienced". It is in a serene area with the chirping of birds and insects and other animal sounds. My husband and I spent a week with 5 young kids and two dogs. We enjoyed hikes, swimming in the creek and fishing and boating in nearby Double Lake. We encounted deer, geckos, and frogs galore. Our 15 year old got some driving lessons on the dirt roads which was easier for her than in the city. The kids enjoyed finding horseshoes on the nearby roads as keepsakes. The cabin is sweet.. Very clean, beds were more comfortable than home, rustic decor (including cow hide tables and armoire, horseshoe door handles, Texas flag themed bathroom, heavy carved dining room table and six chairs and handmade quilts on all beds)is top notch and very suited for the whole atmosphere there is even a tire swing in the front yard. Anything I thought I had forgot to pack was found in the cabin (including can opener, towels board games and Bocce Ball). The owner was a joy and felt like talking to an old friend. She was so accomodating as we booked last minute and while she was away on vacation herself! We ventured into Houston for the Space Center (1 1/2 hour) Mostly we liked to hang out at the cabin as we liked the secluded feeling of it. It forces you to relax and unwind. A high paced vacation is nice but this was different for us and we truely loved it. We will go again soon... probably before years end. You cannot beat this!

  • Our family spent a few days over spring break at River Creek Ranch. Our kids and dog had a great time being in the woods. We love to ride our 4-wheeler and dirt bikes and this was a great place to do that. This area is quiet and peaceful. The beds were soooo comfortable...we all slept great while we were there. We would definitely recommend River Creek Ranch. This is a wonderful place to get away from the rat race, kick back and just enjoy life and being with your family.

  • Every year my extended family will get together and take a trip to a cabin somewhere in Texas. This year we choose River Creek Ranch, and we do not regret it!! The property is beautiful and there is plenty to do. We playe din the rain, blew bubbles, played badminton and bocce ball. My 18 month old neice loved grandpa taking her on discovery rides in teh wagon...there are plenty of rock, leaves and bugs to see. The house is very nice, the beds are comfortable and you have all the ammenties of home. I highly recommend River Creek Ranch. Have Fun!!!

  • First of all I would like to let everyone know how nice Dr. Moore is. She is just a great person. River Creek Ranch was just beautiful. We were there for a week and had a great time. The cabin was very comfortable and away from the fast life. We will definately be returning for more needed R & R!! Thanx once again for your hospitality Dr. Moore. Lori Trahan and Andrew Laverty
