Beautiful, Comfortable and Well-Appointed

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We appreciated the efficient air conditioning in the Texas summer heat. The outdoor spaces are incredible and the pool and outdoor kitchen are perfect for family gatherings. I highly recommend this property and will plan to stay here on future visits to the area.

Absolutely beautiful backyard with scenic view, pool, fire pit, grill and smoker. House was so clean and comfortable. Amazing beds and huge kitchen. Very convenient to Houston area or Brenham area. Easy to find but set aside in the quiet country. We will stay again!

Absolutely Wonderful!

We had a great stay. The property is absolutely beautiful, and just secluded enough to be extraordinarily peaceful. The host was an absolute pleasure, very easy to communicate with. Her mother met us to show us around, and she was a total sweetheart. The home was immaculate! The home, the property and even every single dish and utensil. We’ve stayed at a lot of B-n-B properties, this was the cleanest by far. We would absolutely stay here again! We can’t wait until our travels bring us back to the Houston area!

Roundtop trip!

What a wonderful vacation we had at this home. The area is quiet and beautiful, the house was big enough for 4 adults and 3 teenagers. The property is close enough to Roundtop that you can shop all day then come relax at the house. If we ever come back to the area, we would for sure stay at this property again.

5 stars

What an amazing property. My brother and I flew in for a family function. We were greeted by Madeline, who was great and gave us a quick tour of the property and made us feel welcome. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you may need for your stay. We found ourselves spending most of the time we were at the property in the outdoor space, the pool and outdoor kitchen are amazing.

We love this place! This home is absolutely beautiful. We were met by the Owner's mom who was the absolute sweetest. She gave us a tour of the property and how everything works. We held a Leadership Retreat for our Leadership Team for the Black Heritage Committee of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.The amenities and space were perfect. We will definitely be back with our family. The home was clean and if you forgot anything, trust me they have it! Thank you for an amazing weekend!

Friendcation

Each year 5 of us friends get together for a mini vacation and this was our 3rd year here. The owners are really nice and helpful if you need anything. The property is exactly how it's described. You're in the country able to relax but not to far if you need to go to the store. We spend lots of time in the pool, especially since it's so hot then in the evenings we cook and relax. Definitely recommend staying here and we will be back again next year!! Thank you guys again for allowing us to stay!!

Outstanding!!!!

We arrived on Friday. We were met and given all the information we needed for a wonderful weekend. The house was spotless. The outdoor area, pool, pond, and kitchen were fabulous. Unless we were sleeping; or putting together a meal; we were outside the whole time. The house had everything you could possibly need. We have already planned our next trip back. Southern Star Ranch is truly a 5 star experience.

Getaway week

This property is a getaway that feels far from the busyness of life-and that is just what my friends and I needed. We spent many hours floating in the pool under the afternoon shade of the pecan tree. I wish I had brought binoculars to peep at the birds flitting through the branches. We had cozy meals and played board games at the long dining table. The kitchen had all the essentials, the beds were comfortable, and the living area had cushy couches for lounging or napping. I am about to book my stay for next summer!
