The layout of the property was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay. There were several areas that are desperately in need of repair. One of the beds upstairs has a frame that was broken, the stove top had several cracks and a chunk of glass in the back missing, several of the deck chairs are broken and dangerous for guests to sit in, the deck railing is not stable and is very hazardous, and the pond is definitely not usable. The house has so much potential and could live up to how it is pictured but needs and deserves attention.

Nice location. Neat house. Needs some update on pots and pans and front gate did not work, but those were minor issues. Again, a really nice location to relax.

We loved the house and grounds. The location was so peaceful and we all found it restful. It was a great location for attending a wedding in Collinsville. The accommodations were well stocked- plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Family Birthday party for 90 year old

The property was beautiful and perfect for a family gathering. Although not very handicap friendly with three floors the main floor was perfect for a large group get together. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely do it again.

Spring break

Our family had a great time kayaking and fishing on the property. The house had lots of room and everything we needed. We loved sitting on the porch at the end of the day to watch the sunset. Thanks for a great stay!

We very much enjoyed celebrating our dads 89th birthday at this house. The host was very accommodating and was very prompt in answering any concerns we had. We needed handicap accessible and the main floor met our needs. We were able to get to the bottom floor (walkout basement) to enjoy the big screen by going around the outside. Of course, the main level had a TV, but we chose to watch football on the big screen. The house was well equipped with kitchen utensils, linens, towels, etc. The air conditioning was awesome on all three floors, The bathrooms met all our expectations. We were disheartened to find the kitchen table which could easily fit 8 people around it only had 4 folding chairs. We brought in 4 lawn chairs from the outside to be able to eat together. There was a grill on the balcony where we prepared our main course each day. The railing and the chairs on the balcony need some work. One of the wooden chairs we felt was beyond repair and needs to be removed to avoid someone getting hurt. We also noted the septic system needed attention. But we failed to reach out to the host and let them know when the sprinklers came on there was a foul odor. Each day we enjoyed a walk to the gate and back to the cabin. It is nestled in a wooded area and we enjoyed the privacy. Unfortunately, we stayed when the water levels were down and could not enjoy the pond behind the house. Overall, great place to stay but could use some attention (dining chairs...)

Tranquil Hideaway

The house was very nice and clean. It had everything and more. You can sit by the water and enjoy the nature sounds or snuggle up on the recliner sofa and watch a movie on the giant television with surround sound. My only advise is, if stairs are a problem, this is not your house. Will definitely stay again in the future.

We felt like we were on the mountains!

The house and views were fabulous! The owner and property manager were prompt to answer our questions and went beyond to make our event memorable. The property was perfect for our family and for hosting our son’s rehearsal dinner. The children loved playing outside, and the deck area was perfect for visiting.

This beautiful house was just perfect! We came to Gainesville to visit Oak Meadow Ranch which was amazing! We loved staying at the house because it was located in the perfect spot, Private and perfect for my family! We loved the pond and the kayaks. Everything about the house was wonderful. The only suggestion would be maybe a Keurig. We would definitely stay at this house again in the future! Thank you!

Love the fact this house had so many bathrooms! Perfect for large groups! The kayaks and paddle boat on the private pond was the highlight of our trip! The kids/teens loved it! The outdoor balcony was perfect for the adults to relax and watch the kids play! We will be back!

Out of town wedding spot

We had a wedding at Towering Oaks and had a big group of friends coming in from around the country. Dove Ranch was a great place for us to stay versus all getting hotel rooms. Clean and well taken care of, had everything we needed. Thank you!

Comfortable for large groups

House is very comfortable and kitchen was great for preparing meals. The only challenge was the code not working on the front door. It would take several times to get it to open or lock.

Family Resting Place

From the ease of check-in to sad goodbye, we loved this place! I was looking for a quiet place for my grown children and grandchildren to stay, away from all the excitement of a wedding. Warhorse Ranch was the perfect setting. Quiet mornings for sipping coffee on the porch, and lots of space for everyone to be comfortable. My grandchildren said they would “ love to come back” and that was all this grandma heart needed to hear! Hope to make this a regular family meeting place!

The house is great, with 3 floors for spreading out. Never felt our 8 people were in each other's way. Could use some newer pots and pans, but everything else was great.

Wedding

We used the location to stage for our son's wedding. We hosted the rehearsal dinner there and the bridesmaids stayed with us Thursday night. The only issue we experienced was the A/C unit downstairs would not turn off. temperatures dropped to low 60's overnight downstairs. Loved the stay and location.
