About the host

Hosted by Ty Eggemeyer

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
