The owners and managers were super easy to deal with. The place actually looks better than the pictures, and the pictures looked great. We will be back, and appreciate that the kitchen had everything we could have ever wanted. We grilled outside, (there is a great charcoal grill btw) and burned a fire each night. The rooms are laid out great, and absolute peace and quite out there is hard to find anywhere. The Zebra, Gnu, Red Stag and other wildlife roaming the property was a great added bonus. Jim ##### jim w. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew F., Austin, USA May 29, 2018 #### Absolutely Breathtaking This weekend could not have been more perfect. The lodge was located at the end of the ranch drive in a nice and private area. We were able to stay on the ranch and enjoy the amazing spring fed pool. We were told the river wasn't a very enjoyable float this memorial day weekend so I daresay we had the best spot in all of Real county. Jen and her husband were incredible hosts and made the stay even better. We will most definitely be back and may even make this a yearly ritual. The location and beauty of this area was only surpassed by the loveliness of the home and the hospitality received. Due to this specific house I will probably never opt to stay at Garner State Park again, well as long as this place is available. ##### Matthew F.

Kids loved the swimming and walking along the rio frio. They enjoyed seeing the zebras, exotic deer, and especially the wildebeast. Campfire with smore's of course! and spend evenings using an app to find the constellations in the night sky! House was comfortable and clean. Mattresses were in good condition which is always important for us due to back problems. Employees were on hand quickly when a storm blew in and sent things flying! We appreciated their attention to detail and they arrived before we could even contact them! We really enjoyed the relaxation of this trip! Much needed this covid summer! ##### Kim C.

We never had to leave after arriving because everything we could have wanted was right there. The house was very nice and the property was just gorgeous. The kids ran barefoot through the grass and played outdoor games that we brought. The tv was not turned on and MOST of the time, phones were set aside. The owner came by to check on us a time or two, which was nice, but we didn't need a thing. And of course, the pool! That is where we spent our time. We enjoyed every minute of this vacation and are already talking about next year! ##### Candy C.

The ranch is majestically tucked away between sets of steep hills next to Garner State Park, the perfect setting for an escape from the city. We were appreciative of the upkeep of the animal ranch, trails, natural spring pool, the cantina, and of course the lodge itself. We had 10 guests and still had plenty of room for more. The lodge was spacious, extremely clean, well-appointed, and had plenty of room for indoor and outdoor activities and big group dinners. Although it rained for much of the weekend, we still managed to hike one of the steep hills, swim in the natural pool, explore the property, barbecue, and play yard games. Because of the rain, we made good use of the cantina at night. This is a very special property and Jen made the booking and preparation processes flawless; she was amazingly helpful and thoughtful, especially considering the historic flooding this area had to deal with during Memorial Day weekend. ##### Maarten v. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo Beth B.

Loved the swimming hole and the exotic animals all around. Will definitely plan on returning! ##### Jo Beth B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom R.

Beautiful Texas Hill Country setting. Totally private. Spring fed rock lined pool was what you dream about. Fire pit, smores, cantina, and star gazing were fun night time activities. Plenty of bedrooms, rustic western ranch decor, and all the kitchen stuff you need for a family gathering are there. Jenn was very helpful and made sure you knew what they provided and what they didn't. The optional pool package waqs worth every cent. Will go again. ##### Tom R.
