About the host
Hosted by Cathy Meek
Growing up in Austin when it was just a small city, the countryside was just minutes away. Then came Austin sprawl, and crazy traffic! We purchased the land outside Smithville in 2006, and slowly our little slice of heaven evolved into the Rocking M Ranch. Following a rewarding 40-year career as a FEMA Hazard Mitigation Specialist I chose an unexpected path after retirement, and opened a new business hosting weddings, events, and lodging at our ranch. These days the property is shared with visitors from all over the world that come to plan a special event, or simply to enjoy an upscale, Texas getaway.
Why they chose this property
The ranch is conveniently located less than 5 miles from the City of Smithville which has a Brookshire Brothers grocery store, Dollar General, retail shopping, restaurants & bars, and antiquing. The City of Bastrop is a short 15-minute drive and has an HEB Superstore, movie theater, retail shopping, restaurants, and fun stuff to do. Austin is a short 45 minute drive, Houston and San Antonio less than 2 hours away. Enjoy the full country experience when visiting the ranch, with all the convenience and amenities of big-city life.
What makes this property unique
Guests here can host their dream wedding, special event, or a weekend getaway. Kick back and stay a few days, enjoy a morning stroll on the property with coffee or a glass of wine next to the pool while looking out over a backdrop of wildflowers or watching a flurry of cardinals or bluebirds at the feeders. At night, roast s'mores and relax at the firepit or grill under the quiet canvas of a million stars overhead.
