Jul 28, 2025 #### AWESOME PLACE & PEOPLE If I could rate more stars I would ... We loved staying in the Earth unit at The Elements Ranch ... beautiful, clean, new, relaxing, farmland, cows, pools, ponds, natural vegetation with luxury accommodations in the middle of acreage but close to downtown Round Top. Will stay here and/or The Villas in the future. Had the benefit of meeting the owners - super nice people - very trusting - very talented in their planning of the gem in the rough ... We will be back !!! ##### Wendy P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda D.
