Beautiful and peaceful!

We were just able to stay one night, and happened upon this rental when looking to stay in the area. There were 5 of us, and we love it! Each cabin sits secluded from others, and we walked/explored and thoroughly enjoyed our evening there after check in. The cabin was the perfect size for us with a table great for card playing. Definitely recommend!

Peaceful clean and enjoyable. Wildlife setting.

The owners were wonderful people to work with. The cabins are so perfect. If you are looking for a spot away from technology and business of life. This is it. The pool and hot tubs create peace. Love the animals roaming loose. Highly recommended. We will go back!

We loved everything about this wonderful ranch!

We enjoyed our one night stay in the Lone Star cabin. Our kids loved the ladder to the loft area. We enjoyed the hot tub and the kids braved the cold swimming pool (March isn’t exactly swimming weather). All the animals were a lot of fun to see along with the old west town set up. The owner was very friendly and helpful!
