Family Time

Overall, the facility was great!! Very accommodating and, clean; well stocked with bathroom toiletries and with kitchen supplies. Our only concerns were (1) one of the bathroom doors does not close properly, and (2) the fitted sheet was too small on one of the beds.

Our family had a great time during our stay. The house was clean, and the owners were pleasant and helpful. Our kids loved fishing at the bass pond and watching the wildlife as we explored the property. I would highly recommend renting the mule. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property and amazing people. They were super nice and helpful. We rented the side by side and they provided us with feed to use out on the property. We got to see a bunch of really cool animals and had a ton of fun fishing too. We will definitely be going back!

AMAZING PLACE

WOW, what a place. Words cannot totally express how great this place is. The room, for family and friends is fantastic. You feel like you are on safari. Lots of exotic animals that parade right in front of the house everyday around 5 to 6pm. Kitchen is spacious and has a nice gas range and oven. Large refrigerator in the kitchen and a second big beverage snack frig in the game room. You will want for nothing. The pool is just a few steps and has its own gated area. The host are fantastic and very responsive. As Arnold said We Will Be Back!

Wonderful family/friend trip with lots to do!

If you love the outdoors and a nice, relaxing atmosphere, this is the place to be! The bardo is just perfect! Easy check-in, nice and clean, comfy beds, animals everywhere, great fire pit, nice pool for a quick dip, and rent the mule! It’s worth it! The fishing was great too! We caught several large mouth bass and got in some good laughs with nearby horses farting it up. We loved everything! I want to come back with my siblings and their kids.

Annual vacation trip

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room. Saw many animals each day. It did rain a couple of times during our stay so didn't get to explore the property much but able to do movie night, play pool & other games. A little far out but enjoyed the peace & quite. Would recommend to others.

There was something for everyone, fishing, animals, swimming, tv's. Renting the mule to explore the land and animals was the best. Our grandkids loved it. It is a farm with animals, so bring fly traps for the patio area.

About the host

Hosted by Carinn Baker

Host profile image
The original land, about 470 acres was acquired by parents, Roy and Joan Dudman for $55 per acre. They gifted the land to us in 1994 and we began plans for deer and horse breeding. Karen bred reining and roping horses of color, mainly buckskins. Her stallion was own son of Hollywood Dun It, the most winning horse of all time in dollars, over $20 million. The remaining mares roam the property in full retirement. We started deer breeding the same year, starting with one buck and eight does. Since 2008 we keep approximately 300 animals on the ranch. Our cattle are a cross between Corinthian and Texas Longhorn.

Why they chose this property

Our star show in the sky most nights is simply spectacular. It is because we are sixty miles to any large cities so the light and air pollution doesn't exist. Enjoy the beauty. We highly recommend you do take a tour of the ranch while you are here. Get a map and go explore. We have over 20 big animal species to see, and unknown numbers of birds and other critters. There are over 50 species of hummingbirds!

What makes this property unique

There is never a dull moment with all the activities available to you on the ranch. Viewing wildlife, fishing, cooking on an open fire, exploring on the mule or Hummer, self guided tours and star gazing.
