We absolutely loved staying at this house! There was plenty of room for everyone and the house was clean. We drove in from Illinois for a family wedding and were able to get in the house early. The lake was wonderful and I caught the largest bass I’ve ever caught! The horses came to the fence and we enjoyed visiting with them. The house is secluded and quiet. It was just a short drive from the wedding reception. I hope that we can stay there again sometime!

This place was awesome. Having the Pool, fire pit with wood and the fishing pond were all a nice bonus! The owners were the nicest people and made sure everything was perfect. 15 minutes from the casino if that’s your thing. Less than 5 minutes from the lake if you want to bring your boat.

Our favorite place

We love this place and it was our second time staying here. Definitely want to make this our yearly summer vacation. The kids love the pool, the game room and fishing. It’s a prefect location to get away from every day life and enjoy the outdoors.

Loved our stay at Tex’s Ranch. What a great home. They had everything we needed, plus some we didn’t even realize we needed. The outside was beautiful! The heated pool was so much fun for the young kids, as well as the teenager and adults. One of the best things was the fishing in the pond. The kids caught one fish after another. The adults caught only a couple, but only because they were so busy helping the kids with their catches. Another favorite was the animals. Loved when they came up to the fence, and had such a good time feeding one of the horses that came by each day. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

This place was amazing. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The hosts were fantastic. There was a storm one night that caused power outage for the entire county. The host showed up with a generator. Fortunately, the repairs were done quickly by the power company. The entire place was so peaceful. My kids (teenagers) and wife love watching and petting the cows and horses. Fishing was also great. We caught lots of bass and catfish. The largest was a 20 lb blue cat. We plan to return if available.

GREAT family trip!

We really enjoyed our stay at this ranch! Hosts greeted us the first day and answered any questions we had. With 3 generations of family - it was wonderful to be able to keep us ALL busy! The pool, the pond, the pool table, and the firepit were all used throughout the weekend! Everyone especially loved seeing all the livestock in the fields. Thanks again for a very memorable weekend for our entire family!

Amazing Time at the Farm House

Our group of 10 plus our dog had a wonderful time at this home. So many things to do, from the game room to the pool. We were never bored. Being able to sit outside and just admire the beauty of your surroundings. It was very peaceful. Highlight of the trip was being able to feed the horses and go fishing.

Tex’s Ranch is amazing place to stay

We were a group of 10 adults. The VRBO description and pictures were exactly what this ranch was. The house has ample space for a group and was as described, the rooms and beds were comfortable .it was so peaceful and the views were breathtaking, Sunrise to sunset. The pool was refreshing and fishing in the pond was an added plus. The game room was a fun place to hang out after dark. It is definitely a place we would go to again. Every one had a wonderful time. The owners came by to meet us and were very friendly..it was a great retreat from the city.

For my family, it was a really good place for a reunion. Out of town guests did not have to go to a motel. For family that lives close by, it was just a short drive. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed watching the animals. We plan on doing it again next year.
