Perfect Spot to Relax & View the Total Solar Eclipse

We rented the VRBO at 3 Shy Ranch to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city with hopes of viewing the total solar eclipse. The property was perfect for our small group to sit outside, BBQ, see the stars and view the eclipse. The property provides amazing sunrises and sunsets and has a collection of animals that add to the rustic charm of the place! A great place to get away!

Graduation Party

We rented the location for my son's graduation party from Tarleton. It is in a very rural area, away from the big city which we liked very much. The owners were very easy to communicate with, the place was very clean and accommodating. Upon arrival Mike took us on a tour of the building showing us where everything was and explained the property. On Thursday nights the owner host a training session where some of the locals train their dogs to heard cattle. We spoke with them for over 2 hours, super nice people and very entertaining! We extremely enjoyed our stay!

Great facilities

We enjoyed our stay. It is a beautiful ranch had some good accommodations. Towels were provided and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cookware and such. We were very lucky that all twelve of our guys didn’t show up. The listing says it will sleep 20. There are a total of 6 beds and a roll- away. One king, one queen, and four bunk beds. This means with the 8 men we had there, one had to sleep on the couch. Even if there were two couples, this place could only sleep a maximum of 10 IF one still slept on the couch. It IS a nice place; however, the listing is woefully incorrect. We will have to find another place next year and will know what questions to ask before we book.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Oct 2023
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent stay at our ranch. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the property and found our accommodations to be of good quality. We truly appreciate your kind words about the provided towels and the well-stocked kitchen. However, we want to express our sincere apologies for any misunderstanding regarding the sleeping arrangements. Your comments have highlighted an important discrepancy, and we understand the frustration it may have caused. The listing indeed indicated a capacity of up to 20 guests, which can be misleading in light of the six beds, including one king, one queen, and four bunk beds, as well as a roll-away. We appreciate your candid feedback on this matter, and we deeply regret any inconvenience it may have caused. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to addressing this issue. We will review and update our listing to ensure that future guests have a more accurate understanding of the sleeping arrangements and maximum capacity of our property. Our goal is to provide transparent and accurate information so that our guests can make informed decisions when booking their stay. We understand your decision to explore other options for your next year's stay, and we respect your choice. We hope you will consider staying with us again, and we will strive to make your next visit even more enjoyable.

Wish We Had More Time…..

Our getaway was wonderful - we were there for Tarleton Family Weekend and just wish we had more time there! We fed the donkey and horse and saw the cows, goats and chickens! We would love to return when the weather is cooler so we can enjoy the outdoor property even more! Wonderful home and they thought of everything! Will be back!

This house was amazing. Had so many games and things to do as well as plenty of space to hang out. The AC struggled to keep the house cool but they do have fans in almost every room. It’s hard to control this Texas heat!! Other than that it was a fantastic experience and we will be back!!

Cool Barndominium

We would stay here again in a heartbeat. This property has a rustic, chill vibe. We loved sitting on the front porch around the fire pit, chatting, swinging, playing on see-saw, visiting the horses, etc. This is a place where you can breath easy, relax. There were a few things that were disappointing but didn't take away from the charm too much. Because of COVID, we were really counting on that barn door opening, so we would have a well ventilated place to hang out. It was jammed. They did try to fix it while we were there though, and we appreciate that! We washed all the the silverware before use b/c that drawer was quite grimy. And if you plan on playing pool, bring your own cues b/c the ones in the game-room/bar area were pretty busted. Overall, a wonderful place to gather with friends and family.
