I was so surprised when we pulled up, it is an awesome place! The house is amazing inside and has everything you could need. Our kids had fun in the boats going around the pond. Location is great - close to everything but when you are out on the ranch it is like nothing is around you. Will be back if we ever need to rent a place while we go to my families property. ##### Callie K. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deana L.

There is a deer feeder right beyond the pond s d the deer running across the field in the mornings was amazing. We will be booking again!

We traveled to College Station on Saturday for the exciting Notre Dame verses Texas A&M football game. On Sunday, we hung out at this beautiful ranch. We had fun outside fishing and enjoying the land. Anything that we needed was close by including a Walmart, grocery store, Shipley’s donuts, and a good Mexican restaurant to eat. The sunset on Sunday evening was beautiful. We would highly recommend staying at the Howdy Ranch. We definitely will when we are back in the area. ##### Raymond S.

Jan 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family NYE Getaway We loved our family getaway to the Howdy Ranch. We stayed with our son (7), daughter (10) and golden-doodle for 3 days between Christmas and new years and had a blast! We kept ourselves busy taking the Jon boat out on the pond, fishing, looking for wildlife, roasting s’mores on the fire pit, and running into town for a few meals. The house was perfect our family of 4 and was well stocked and clean. TV and internet worked great when we needed the occasional downtime from being outside on the property. The dog shower was super helpful as our pup loved running around the acreage and taking the occasional dip in the pond. ##### Jeff B. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven S. Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It is what it says it is. Super cool property. The acres, the cows, the oil rig, it feels like Texas just puling in. The house was both cool, and felt modern in al the right ways. Vaulted ceilings in the living area, great appliances and high quality fixtures. Master bed was great. Well stocked, tons of towels. But the pond was just the neatest thing. The dock was nice, the boats were fun to play with. The bass were huge (I was able to see quite a few). I never convinced one to bit any of my lures, but I have not done much bass fishing at all so that is not suprising. What you see is what you get and it was great. ##### Steven S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### COURTNEY Mar 6, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness Overall the property was beautiful with a good location. However the cleanliness was awful, it took us a day of our vacation to clean it as there was dirt and someone else’s dog hair everywhere. The house hadn’t been dusted in a very long time, all the surfaces needed to be cleaned and the sheets on the bunk beds were not changed. The grass was also not maintained at all. Being in Texas where there are snakes it was unsafe to have the grass this long. Thankfully when a snake did jump at my daughter she had her boots on. The owners spent 2 hours on the property, while we were there collecting personal items that should’ve been done ahead of time. Surprising as it was advertised as private. Upon contacting the owners about the cleanliness of the house they did refund a cleaning fee however we still lost a day of vacation making the house habitable. ##### COURTNEY Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg C.
