We had an amazing weekend getaway at High Hope Ranch, a perfect escape from Dallas to wide open space with great walking trails. Our boys (2 and 4) can’t wait to come back again to see their friend, Speckles the goat. Sandy, the property manager is so welcoming and accomodating. The house was immaculate and stocked with toys, games, and all of the kitchen supplies we needed. We will definitely be coming back again! ##### Courtney F.

Jan 15, 2017 #### Great place to enjoy solitude, family time and plenty of hiking in close proximity to Dallas, TX We spent 3 nights between Xmas and New Year. The house is very private and overlooks a limestone ledge. If you are a naturalist, this is definitely your place. There are miles of private hiking, multiple places to meditate or simply read a book, many opportunities to see wildlife and even some fossils to be found. Sandra was very accomodating, and the house is well-kept. We will be back soon! ##### Guido P.

We had a great time at the Mata'Zamo house. Celebrating my daughter's 10th birthday over Memorial Day weekend, we hiked the property, hung out on the screened porch and upper deck, and strolled around Glen Rose for fun. The house perfectly accommodated our group of 7 and we lacked for nothing in amenities. The hospitality of Sandra and the others on site was wonderful. We even got the chance to help take care of new baby goats at the barn. It was a great time at a beautiful place! ##### Kristi Z. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt C. Mar 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views and a unique Fossil Rim experience! This property was remote, and would have been difficult to find without the amazing communication and help from Sandara. She was available to provide a personal tour and provided useful information about the trails on the property specific to our group. The house was well-appointed, and had just what we needed for a stay with four adults and four kids. The property and the sunsets were beautiful. Everyone had a wonderful stay. I'm already trying to figure out when we can make a return visit to explore more of the beautiful trails around Mata'Zamo. Thanks again for a wonderful time. ##### Matt C.

For two very busy professionals, it was just what we needed to enjoy the children. (And they never complained about no TV or computer games!) We enjoyed some wonderful wildlife sightings and searched for fossils in Goat cave- even found a porcupine needle! Both of the girls didn't want to come home- wanted to live there! Definitely a great sign. Can't wait for our next visit!! ##### Racheal S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela M. May 6, 2016 #### Mata'zamo was a fantastic weekend getaway!! The drive to the house was beautiful. Bluebonnets and indian paintbrush flowers were throughout the fields. When we arrived at the house, everyone in my group gasped... It was so pretty they said when they stepped inside. Instantly we felt like we were at home. Sandra showed us around , we unpacked and watched a breathtaking sunset from the upstairs balcony. We cooked dinner for 7 and ate on the enclosed patio complete with candles and twinkle lights. The next day we explored the property, walking the trails leading to St Frances Hill, The sunset lookout and the beautiful Goat's cave and stone henge look alike. A huge storm came in the night but we enjoyed the rain on the tin roof. It stopped in time for us to pack up and go home. All in all it was a PERFECT weekend! We will be back! ##### Pamela M.

This renovated barn style house is amazing. Beautiful views from the 2nd floor deck. So many hiking trails on the property you really don't need to go offsite. The views from Sunset Cliff is stunning. Goat Cave hike is amazing and Stone Circle are just gorgeous. Our kids loved running around and exploring. The pics of this place do not do it justice at all. The house was very accommodating and well thought out. We ate all of our meals out on the screened in porch. We saw deer in the morning, so many cardinals and heard the wolves from Fossil Rim at night it was fun. This property backs up to Fossil Rim. I enjoyed walking over and having my coffee at Peace and Light circle every morning. We will be coming back for sure. The kids keep asking if we can go every weekend. Plus our host Sandy was so kind and super knowledgeable. My 6 yr old son bombarded her with questions about every rock/fossil that he found and she happily answered and encouraged. She also invited my kids to come back at super to feed the goats (a highlight). Thank you for everything. We will be back! ##### Nichole N.

First of all, I must admit I am one of those people that relies heavily on VRBO reviews, but rarely, if ever, leaves them myself. I have used VRBO for years and, quite literally, all over the world. It has been good to me and I keep coming back. All that being said, this weekend's stay at Mata'zamo was wonderful. The house is on the back bluff of an 800 acre ranch adjacent to Fossil Rim. Although we were only a few minutes out of Glen Rose, we might as well have been on another planet (and I mean that in a good way.) I took my wife, our 10 year old triplets, and our 2 australian shepherds. Every one of us had a good time- but all for different reasons. My wife loved waking up and going for runs up the (very) long scenic driveway. The kids loved exploring the very interesting topography of the ranch (including Goat Cave) and finding a treasure trove of impressive fossils. The dogs loved roaming around. I loved the fact there was no TV in the house (although wifi and other modern amenities were readily available) and THAT contributed to excellent "family time." Although everything we needed was readily accessible- we felt like we were the last people on earth- as the cabin feels genuinely remote. The house felt much bigger than it actually was- thanks in part to a soaring ceiling. The kids loved the 2 bunk beds, and the master suite upstairs was lovely. The house was clean and conducive to family activities (it would hard for anyone to sequester themselves off in the house.) The on-site laundry room helped us pack less. I must also say that Sandy stayed in contact with me prior to my arrival. She met me at the front of the property when we arrived and was always accessible (but never hovering over us) if we needed anything. She was great. I loved my time at Mata'zamo and only wish I had more time to spend there. Hopefully, I'll be able to return soon. ##### Joshua J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### BROOKE R.

We are definitely coming back! My five-year-old son has not stopped talking about our trip since we got back. Sandy is awesome. Maintenance of the property was impeccable. The house was incredibly clean, and had everything you could ever need to enjoy your trip. And, the proximity to fossil rim dinosaur Valley state park was amazing! ##### Kellan B.

Very peaceful, no tv or other electronic distractions. Just like other reviews, kids 5 and under did not want to leave. Would be great vaca spot any time of year. Hope to be back soon! ##### Allison A. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika B.

There is so much to explore on the property or just relax on the top deck and look out over the serene forest. Kids enjoyed sunsets and sundaes on the balcony. We found fossils and fed goats thanks to our amazing hostess. If you need a get away definatly check this out. I will miss the nightly conversations starring out at a sky full of stars. Also dog friendly so we were able to bring the fur babies along for the trip and all the hikes. ##### Erika B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel A.

The house was secluded on the property, and we did not even have to leave the property to get our fill of hiking and nature. All throughout the weekend, I was texting Sandi and asking her questions, and she always responded. She was very helpful. The house was clean, neat, and beautifully furnished. We already want to go back again! Thanks for a wonderful weekend of memories. ##### Rachel A.
