We enjoyed our stay at the Southern Star Ranch. It was perfect in every way. The hosts were very attentive and a pleasure to visit with. If you love staying in the country, but being close enough to town if you need anything, this will meet all of your expectations.

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.

Annual getaway with friends

We three 50-something women throw off our responsibilities for a week each summer and stay at this lovely ranch. This was year four for us. We spend hours in the pool, at the kitchen table, on the couches talking, eating, laughing. Getting away from it all is the point, and Southern Star Ranch offers us that.

Perfect Getaway!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at this stunning country property! The outdoor kitchen was a dream—fully equipped and ideal for cooking and dining under the stars. The oasis-style pool was the highlight of our days—private, serene, and beautifully designed. Every detail of the home was thoughtful and made us feel completely relaxed and at home. We can't wait to come back for the third time!

Southern 5-Star Ranch

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!

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.

Beautiful and tranquil

The home is on a beautiful piece of land. It sits back off of the road like an estate. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed early mornings drinking coffee on the pool deck. We even seen a deer! Would definitely recommend. The host was so kind and accommodating. 5 out of 5 stars
