Most relaxing stay!

We had the best time at Howdy Ranch over the 4th of July weekend! We stayed with friends and made memories we’ll cherish forever. The cabin was beautifully stocked—every little detail had been thought of, which made our stay so easy and comfortable. It’s incredibly serene and peaceful out there, with stunning surroundings and the most charming, homey décor. You can truly feel the heart that’s gone into creating this space. We can’t wait to come back!

Quick get away

Excellent home base as we explored several towns nearby. Breweries, wineries and shopping were all things we did. It was also nice to sit out by the fire at night as the outdoor space was great for us and our dog. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Ranch Visit

We needed a place to stay for a family event in Ledbetter and found this ranch. I was so surprised when we pulled up, it is an awesome place! The house is amazing inside and has everything you could need. Our kids had fun in the boats going around the pond. Location is great - close to everything but when you are out on the ranch it is like nothing is around you. Will be back if we ever need to rent a place while we go to my families property.

Heaven in the Country

This property blew us away that we stayed an extra night. Close to town but yet Country peacefulness. This property had everything to offer. The pond was a fun place to gather an enjoy the day, laugh, listen to music, fish and swim when warm enough. The home was very welcoming an had everything you need minus the food. The decor was so cute and such a wonderful country charm. The beds were comfortable too. Sitting on the front porch swing and looking out to the land was very relaxing. Me an my family went to spend a quiet and relaxing new years an that is exactly what we got. We will definitely stay here again. The owner was very nice and responsive. No complaints on the one.

Perfect weekend get away

Howdy Ranch was the perfect bookend to our summer. We wanted a weekend away to enjoy each other and be outdoors. The pond was loved by all including the dogs! The water toys (john boat, kayak and paddleboat) were great to have access to. We did a lot of front porch sitting, dock fishing, cooking on the fire pit and admiring the sunset. Disclaimer, we have no idea if the tvs work…never had a reason to turn them on!

This is our 3rd year to stay at the Howdy Ranch and as before it did not disappoint. The owners are very accommodating and responsive. It’s a beautiful country setting minutes from city amenities. The only down side is having to leave. Haha! We hope to return again next year!

Round Top Girls Trip

We enjoyed our stay and the closeness to the Round Top show, but not too close. After a day of shopping we would watch the sun set and enjoyed seeing the animals. The house is comfortable and many thoughtful touches.

Country living with city convenience! We will be back. The property was clean and exactly like the listing. Sitting on the front porch watching the deer and the short walk to the dock for quick fishing. 25 minutes from Roundtop and 3 minutes from quick conveniences - it was perfect

Getaway Weekend

My family, which consisted of my wife and two children ages 17 and 13, stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. We traveled to College Station on Saturday for the exciting Notre Dame verses Texas A&M football game. On Sunday, we hung out at this beautiful ranch. We had fun outside fishing and enjoying the land. Anything that we needed was close by including a Walmart, grocery store, Shipley’s donuts, and a good Mexican restaurant to eat. The sunset on Sunday evening was beautiful. We would highly recommend staying at the Howdy Ranch. We definitely will when we are back in the area.

Perfect getaway

I wanted somewhere to get rhe kids off electronics and enjoy just being around nature. We took their bikes and board games and just chilled out. We fished, took out the canoe and paddle boat and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Perfect weekend to refuel and recharge.

It is what it says it is.

Super cool property. The acres, the cows, the oil rig, it feels like Texas just puling in. The house was both cool, and felt modern in al the right ways. Vaulted ceilings in the living area, great appliances and high quality fixtures. Master bed was great. Well stocked, tons of towels. But the pond was just the neatest thing. The dock was nice, the boats were fun to play with. The bass were huge (I was able to see quite a few). I never convinced one to bit any of my lures, but I have not done much bass fishing at all so that is not suprising. What you see is what you get and it was great.
