GUEST RANCH Fish, Swim, Mountain Bike, weddings. Reunions

We could not have asked for a better vacation spot! Our every need was catered to......Barbara and her husband went out of their way to make our stay memorable. ..that included bringing their horses to the ranch and leading everyone who wanted to ride on a short jaunt across the field. As a family we caught and released over 100 fish! Having the pool to relax and play in was wonderful....using the fire pit for s'mores the last night was great! To top it off the cabins were well stocked with utensils and immaculate!! We will be back next year!

This place was absolutely perfect for us! We wanted a place that family and friends could stay together for my son's wedding weekend. There was plenty of room, well equipped kitchen and Barbara was great to deal with!! Her hospitality has us wanting to go back for a family reunion there soon!

Thanks for sharing your place with us!

A group of 6 friends, we stayed in the Bunkhouse for a weekend while we visited the Texas Renaissance Festival. The property is beautiful - we took a peaceful stroll around the pond, over the walkways, shortly after sunrise. We enjoyed sitting around the pool, and only wish we had more time to use the firepit and grill outdoors. The bunkhouse was spacious and was a great gathering place for us; it is fully equipped with everything we needed. The owners are very accessible and responsive. The property is only 4 miles from the Renfest, so it was ideal. I didn't see the inside of the smaller cabins, but I am definitely thinking of a weekend trip with my husband, and my friends and I are definitely going back!

When I went into the listing for the Double Bar B to write this review, my reaction upon seeing the pictures was "I want to be back there!" The pictures of the lake and pool were what sold me on recommending the Bunkhouse at the Double Bar B to my family. Our group consisted of 3 sisters and our spouses going to a nephew's wedding and our brother (the father of the groom) and sister-in-law live nearby.

The bunkhouse had plenty of space for all of us. 3 bedrooms with private baths, two of the bedrooms each had an additional room that included space for additional guests or could be used for relaxing. A large living room, nice-sized dining area and nice kitchen. The house was nicely furnished with Texas themed furniture and western-style art work. But, the outdoor space really made the place! There is a multi level deck area outside the back of the house. This area overlooks the lake and the pool, is shaded with old oak trees and is just beautiful. There is a barbecue and a huge picnic table under a structure to keep rain and sun off. The whole area is furnished with attractive outdoor furniture and a collection of bird houses and other artifacts. Very inviting!

All these different spaces were perfect to gather with only a couple of us to visit or find a private space for a little alone time.

The pictures of the indoor and outdoor space were so inviting that we were inspired to have a party for both sides of the family and the wedding party. Barbara Gardner, the owner, was very helpful in supplying additional pans and things we needed. We ended up doing a brunch for about 30 people, everyone loved the place! Plenty of space indoors and out for the guests to sit and eat and socialize. And Barbara gave us food for the fish in the lake, the little boys at the party had so much fun feeding the fish.

We got a chance to check out the other two cabins during our visit. They are both charming and furnished in Texas themed furniture and decorations.

Four of us took advantage of the horseback riding and got a wonderful tour of this beautiful property. Barbara and her horse trainer were great trail guides. I rode a lovely little horse named Duchess. A beautiful, sweet, calm horse for a novice rider.

We would definitely return to the Double Bar B. As our brother lives nearby and does not have enough room for all of us, we expect to plan a return visit in the future. We would recommend the Double Bar B to other visitors.

We had a wonderful experience at this ranch! The owners were absolutely wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. There was so much to do, the kids didn't know which way to go first. The parents were able to sit by the pool and enjoy each other's company. The cabin was great and had all the accommodations needed. Our entire group will definitely be back!!
