My family and I stayed at the property in early August, and we had a great experience. We enjoyed the pool, the scenic hill country views, hiking, stargazing, and seeing the beautiful animals. Also, it’s close enough to Lampasas that running into town is easy. Strongly recommended!!

We had an incredible time at the ranch. The pool and hot tub were perfect, and biking through the property while spotting wildebeests and zebras was surreal. Ty, Leslie, and Adriaan were phenomenal hosts. We really enjoyed the safari where we fed both Tank the rhino and the giraffes.

Was the perfect place for our family. The grandkids loved the pool, hot tub and the tour. Feeding the Rhino and Giraffes are something we will not soon forget. Ty and his team are the best hosts. They left us with everything we needed to have smores with the family while we watched zebras and other wildlife walk by the cabin. Mountain bikes were provided where we could explore the 3,800 acre ranch at our leisure. Highly recommend staying here, and we will be back again!

Our stay at Artemis Ranch was absolutely exceptional. The views are stunning—wide open Texas landscapes that make it feel like a true escape the moment you arrive. The property is beautifully designed, incredibly clean and comfortable. Ty is one of the best hosts we have experienced. The entire family loved interacting with all the animals on the ranch especially the giraffes and Tank the Rhino. One of the best stays we’ve had. We’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend Artemis Ranch to anyone looking for a unique, one of a kind getaway.

We had the best time on our girls trip to Artemis Ranch! The Vista Cottage was the perfect place to get away and relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery and wildlife! The cherry on top was feeding the giraffes and rhino! We had such a blast getting to know the owners as they took us around on a tour and told us about the property and animals. You can tell they not only care about the ranch and animals but also your experience while visiting! There are not many places that you can have the experiences they offer and our entire group is already planning our next visit.

We had the best girls trip here. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and sitting out by the fire pit in the evenings. Saw so many beautiful animals and the views on the ranch were incredible. We are already planning another trip here soon. The owners are the sweetest people.

My sons and I stayed here last year for Thanksgiving and they wanted to return with my sister and niece this year to celebrate Christmas. We had a fun week. There was so much to do and see, we didn't need to leave the property for entertainment. Visiting and feeding the giraffes, rhino and zebras was the highlight of the trip.

We had a fantastic stay at this Vista Cottage! It was a beautiful cottage in a very quiet setting. The grandkids loved feeding apples to “Tank” the Rhino and lettuce to the Giraffes! They had many other animals as well! The pool and hot tub were excellent and very relaxing! The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful! I’m sure we will come back and stay again!

We went to Artemis Ranch for a weekend get away to hike and enjoy spring in Texas. The cottage is cute, clean and well stocked. The views are amazing since the cottage sits on a rise. Ty was so welcoming and gave us a tour of the property. He is very knowledgeable about the animals on the ranch and local tree and flower species. I don’t think there is anywhere else in Texas where can you feed a rhino and giraffes in the morning and hike by a heard of gazelle on the same property in the same day. I’d highly recommend the cottage at Artemis Ranch! We thoroughly enjoyed staying there.

We enjoyed our stay so much we can’t say a single thing negative. The house, the view, the animals - and more than anything a genuine feel that the staff and owner wanted us to enjoy it as much as they do. Only regret was not having more time. We would go back without question.

Our stay was awesome. Seeing the animals and feeding the giraffes was a huge hit for the whole group. We had adults and little kids. We caught fish in the pond. The ranch manager was available to help with anything we needed and they were very accommodating. The cottage itself is in really great shape. The pool is not heated, so if you are booking during colder months be prepared for that.
