About the host

Hosted by Stephanie

Host profile image
Nestled amidst the serene embrace of nature lies our cherished sanctuary – the ranch. Here, we find peace, joy, and an undeniable connection to the land. Our love for this haven stems from the sheer delight of escaping the clamor of daily life in the suburbs and immersing ourselves in the tranquility of the great outdoors.

From east of Dallas where we grew up, we have come to love west Texas. At the ranch, we revel in the simple pleasures of life – from walks down our street with no one else in sight, to hikes on trails throughout our 15-acre ranch and then finally a hearty campfire under the vast expanse of the starlit sky. Each moment spent here is a reminder of the beauty and abundance of God's creation.

As we open our hearts to share this blessing with others, we invite them to experience the same sense of serenity and joy that we hold dear. For in the embrace of the ranch, amidst the rolling hills and sprawling meadows, we discover not just a getaway, but a sanctuary – a place where the soul finds its home in nature's embrace.

Why they chose this property

Have you floated the Brazos River? Well, now's your chance. Enter at the end of Pleasant Valley Rd and float for about 2-3 hours (depending on the flow). Exit at the common area (lot #127) right past the three white houses on one lot.

We enjoy eating at Mary's Cafe in Strawn, famous for its chicken fried steak. Enjoy some good food at Coffee and Cocktails with live music in the evening and shopping during the day.

Explore downtown Mineral Wells and learn about the Crazy Water town. Mineral Wells State Park has great hiking trails, rock climbing, and enjoyable water activities such as fishing, swimming, and kayaking. Possum Kingdom Lake is not too far!
