Perfect location for fishermen!

We were in town for a fishing tournament and this is the perfect spot for a large group that needs ample parking room. The house was clean and very comfortable. Patti was very responsive and super welcoming to us.

About the host

Hosted by Patti Hernandez

Host profile image
Hello,

Welcome to our beloved property, where my children grew up and where we built countless memories together. From the ground up, each family member played a role in its creation. My kids helped tie rebar into the foundation and assisted my father, a master electrician (now retired), in pulling electrical lines from the service pole to the house, while I installed the lighting and switch fixtures. Together, we painted the walls and installed water lines.

This ranch has hosted all our significant milestones, including high school and college graduation parties, and many unplanned gatherings the kids thought I didn't know about (funny in hindsight, not so much at the time!). We’ve celebrated birthdays, baby showers, epic Easter egg hunts, and magical Christmases, especially when blessed with rare snow.

Our property proved its resilience during the big ice storm a few years back, losing power for only about six hours. We’ve poured our time and hearts into this ranch, making it a cherished retreat and our future retirement haven.

For now, we’ve decided to share this special place with others, so you too can create unforgettable memories here. It’s also available for rent for special events or occasions. Reach out to us at the provided email for more details.

Why they chose this property

Our home is nestled on 10 serene acres, far enough from any major roads that traffic noise is nearly nonexistent. We use a septic system and draw our water from a well that taps into the aquifer.

What I love most, and what everyone who visits seems to agree on, is the tranquility of the property. It's a peaceful haven that feels remote without being inconveniently far. Major stores are easily accessible, but we're delightfully distant from city hustle and busy neighborhoods. We've hosted groups with boats who found ample space to park their trailers and trucks, and they appreciated our proximity to the boat ramps at Stillhouse Lake. Additionally, we're just 10 miles from Salado, where you can enjoy a variety of stores, restaurants, concerts, and plenty of shopping opportunities!

What makes this property unique

I believe our home stands out because it was built with great sacrifice, dedication, and love. My kids affectionately call this place "Home Base" because it offers them a sanctuary—a place to retreat from school, take a break from the world and its stressors, and simply relax. This ranch has truly become a haven for us all.
