An unforgettable experience

What an absolutely incredible experience! We stayed for 3 days at the Artemis Ranch at the Vista Cottage. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner, Ty, himself! He went out of his way to give us such an unforgettable experience in every way possible.During our stay, we got a tour of the ranch, seeing all kinds of beautiful wildlife and scenery - the waterfalls were awe inspiring - while learning so much about the animals, the ranch, and even Ty himself! After the tour, we got to stop by and feed Tank the rhino and some giraffes.Words (and even pictures) cannot express how amazing of a time we had here. If you stay here, please do yourself a favor and book 3 nights to truly get the full experience. It's beyond worth it!

A perfect family weekend

We spent 3 lovely days over Labor Day weekend at the Artemis Ranch cabin. The cabin is well equipped and our grandson enjoyed the beautiful pool. Ty is a very gracious host. He gave us a tour of the ranch to see the exotic animals and to feed the amazing giraffes! Truly a remarkable place and experience!

Wonderful safari cabin!!!!

Me and my family recently stayed in the cottage for three nights and had the best time. The cottage was very modern and clean. We loved the private pool and hot tub. The property is just beautiful and full of free roaming safari animals! The kids (and adults!) loved seeing the animals roaming around. We hiked around and drove around to see them. Ty, the owner, was the nicest man and host and checked in on us. He and another employee took us on a tour to see the animals. We got to feed the rhino and the giraffes and it was all included in out stay. I can't say enough good things about this place and our stay! You definitely should stay here. Zero issues. We will definitely be coming back.

An Amazing Experience!

My family and I loved the three days we spent at Artemis Ranch. It truly is a one-of-a-kind place, and Ty was truly a one-of-a-kind host. We found the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, from hiking, exploring, and finding exotic wildlife around every corner to watching sunsets at the cabin and grilling over an open fire under the stars. Ty, Leslie, and Brandon, thank you for everything.

We spent a few days visiting friends in Lampasas and chose Artemis Ranch as our home away from home. This is the most amazing place with comfortable lodging and amazing views!! From the sunsets, to the hot tub and pool, from walks around this beautiful ranch to the many cool exotics we encountered, I simply can’t say enough good things about this property!! Except that I can’t wait to come back. Truly a gem in the heart of God‘s country.

Amazing Property

Let me start this by saying, I was heading to Lampassas for a family wedding and was looking for somehting a bit more than what the local hotels had to offer. Safe to say, objective completed. I cannot say enough about Ty, Leslie and their team/property. I hate to write a review this well because I know all of the ATX crew will eventually see this and make it impossible for me visit again. If you're looking for the ability to drive 5min to a Starbucks, do not come here. If you are looking for a 2mi drive on a dirt road from the main road to an amazing cabin in the middle of an 3700ac ranch/game-preserve with the best night sky you have seen with pool and hot tub, this is your place. The owners, Ty & Leslie, and their entire team were nothing less than the most hospitable hosts one could ask for. Upon arrivial, driving back to the cabin, I saw at least 5 different African game species, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. Later on in my stay, Ty & Leslie were kind enough to take our small family group on a tour of the property to see nearly 30 species of game and 2.5mi of the Colorado River. Also, be on the lookout, Ty is nearing completion on an 11 bedroom, 13,000sqft lodge on the property that will be a premier location for special events off the beaten track. Thank you Ty & Leslie for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!!

This place was amazing. The owner was fantastic. Made us feel right at home. The cottage was very clean with amazing view. Every morning when you awake and walk out onto the 2nd floor deck your subject to see any of different species of animals Ty has on this amazing place. Our last morning we awoke to see a Sika deer standing by the pool. Adriaan was an excellent tour guide. He was very patient with the grand kids while feeding the Rhino and giraffes. Very knowledgeable about the animals and the land. Caught some nice bass in stock pond. We will definitely be back.

Our family had the time of our lives at Artemis Ranch. It honestly feels like the closest you can get to being on safari without leaving the U.S. The peaceful quiet of the ranch combined with the incredible variety of animals made for a magical stay. Watching the wildlife roam was fascinating, but the highlight for us was getting to feed Tank the rhino – a once-in-a-lifetime experience!Chef Kortney’s meals were absolutely delicious, and every dish was prepared with such care that dining itself became a highlight of the trip. Adriaan’s tours around the ranch and animal excursions were equally unforgettable – his knowledge and passion for the wildlife added so much depth to our experience.Artemis Ranch is the perfect blend of adventure, peace, and hospitality. If you love wildlife and are looking for a truly unique and serene getaway, this is a must-stay. We can’t wait to return!

The property was beautiful and pictures were exactly what we experienced. The vista cottage was perfect. We enjoyed this whole heartily. Grandkids enjoyed pool and hot tub. This was a great experience for our annual family getaways in which we enjoy our family and forget about the busy every day life we live. The safari was a great addition to our trip from feeding Tank the rhino to giving romaine to the giraffes. Enjoyed and would recommend 100%. Thanks to Kourtney for being there for us and aLeo Adrian for the tour. Thanks

An incredible property for our family vacation

Artemis Ranch and Retreat is an absolutely incredible property. It’s truly like being on safari without going to Africa. Our hosts, Ty and Leslie, were so helpful and accommodating throughout our week visiting their property. Our grandchildren were in awe of the animals, from Tank- the rhino to the sweet giraffes, including a new baby, to the zebras and wildebeests, and so many more. The Vista Cottage and the lodge are beautiful properties. Chef Kourtney prepared a delicious picnic lunch for us on the patio at the lodge one day- the views were phenomenal. She also prepared a steak dinner for us one evening and served it at the cottage- again, absolutely delicious. Our last morning, the guys enjoyed shooting sporting clays. There are two wineries nearby with amazing views and fantastic wines. This was such a memorable time. Highly recommend!!

This place is an absolute jewel! The owners are incredibly nice, friendly & welcoming. The cottage is clean & beautiful with everything you need. We were happy making our “stay” our destination. Lush lawn, refreshing pool & inviting hot tub all to yourself with a beautiful view and occasional exotic deer spotting. The stock pond to fish was an added bonus. And the private tour of the ranch, which included visits with the rhino and giraffes, sealed the deal - this was a perfect vacation!

We were able to feed the giraffes and TANK! My daughter said feeding princess the giraffe was the best experience she had during our week long adventure in Texas!

Touring and learning about the ranch from Ty was so awesome! We requested a menu from Chef Kourt for our Kentucky Derby themed evening and it did not disappoint. From mint juleps, pulled pork sandwiches, buttermilk and hatch chile grits, to a beautiful sunset to cap off the evening, we were wowed every step of the way! This is a stay we will never forget!

Ranch is stunning. Started seeing wild animals as we entered the property. Cottage was immaculate with hot tub and pool. Incredible host who took us around the property. The giraffes and rhino were the best! Sat drinking coffee in the morning as the antelope came within 20 yards of the porch. When hiking the animals would stay closer so we could enjoy seeing them.

Om værten

Vært: Ty Eggemeyer

Værtens profilbillede
My wife and I are both from West Texas. We lived out of State for about 25 years but returned to our Texas roots. We love hosting guests and sharing our beautiful ranch. Trying to create a special place is what excites us. We have just opened our world-class lodge featuring 11 guest rooms, a beautiful library, great room, chef's kitchen, wine cellar and spectacular patio and views - unrivaled in the surrounding area. We hope that our guests can appreciate and enjoy Artemis Ranch and the endangered animals that live here.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

The ranch was the perfect place to create a world class resort. It was in major need of care and investment - putting things back to their natural state. We have cleared over a million invasive junipers (cedar) and have reseeded hundreds of acres with natural grass/plant seeds. We currently have 27 species of exotic animals that roam the ranch. The ranch has over 100 caves (sorry, for safety only professionals can go in most of them), 2.5 miles of riverfront, a major wetwater creek, numerous ponds, ridges, gullies, rills and gorges. You'll experience thousands of beautiful live, red or post oaks.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

There are so many unique things about the ranch. It is one of the darkest places in Texas with night skies so dark and beautiful that you feel like you can touch the stars. And if you can't then it is probably due to the full moon that you can almost pluck from the sky. The sunsets are gorgeous and make for perfect outdoor grilling over a mesquite fire, and yes we will provide you with an ample set of mesquite. Great steaks are available at the local butcher shop. Unlike the concrete jungle of the city, the evenings and mornings are very pleasant even on the hottest day. We have 2.5 miles of riverfront, 27 species of exotic animals, hiking, biking, fishing and exploring. If you are looking for a beautiful, serene setting where you can enjoy nature and spend time with close friends and family, then this is the place. And to top it off you have your own private pool and hot tub complete with lights and bluetooth music connected through your phone. The ranch borders Colorado Bend park on the South and West, and near 2 great wineries. You can visit the Bend for live music, take a short trip to San Saba or just enjoy the ranch.
