Authentic Texas Country Living
Our ranch sits on 27 natural acres in the heart of Texas. Despite regular professional pest control, occasional insects, wildlife, and the natural sights and sounds of country living are part of the ranch experience.
Our pond aerator operates to help maintain the health of the pond and fish and may be heard from portions of the property.
We intentionally preserve the property’s natural grasses, mature trees, pond, and rural landscape to maintain its authentic Texas ranch character rather than a manicured resort setting.
Water & Utilities
The home is supplied by a private well with a water softening system, providing clean, fresh water throughout your stay.
The property also operates on a private septic system. To help us protect it, please flush only toilet paper and avoid disposing of wipes, paper towels, feminine products, grease, or other non-flushable items.
Safety
Exterior security cameras monitor the outside of the property for guest safety and property security. There are no cameras inside the home or in private guest areas.
Children should always be supervised outdoors, especially near the pond and throughout the property due to natural terrain.

We hosted a wonderful family gathering here for my husband's Papa, and he had an amazing weekend surrounded by his grandkids and great-grandkids. There was so much space and endless activities to choose from—fishing, archery, volleyball, and soccer kept everyone entertained!The house itself is fantastic and comes equipped with a game room featuring a poker table and plenty of board games. The owner is exceptionally helpful and quick to respond. When the Wi-Fi went out for a brief moment, she was on top of it immediately! We are so grateful for her hospitality and definitely plan on booking this place again.A few things to note: Lawn Care: The grass was quite tall during our stay, so we had to be extra cautious with the little ones who might not know to watch out for snakes.Ambient Noise: I loved watching the sunrise from the porch every morning, but do keep in mind that a loud generator or pond aerator runs constantly. You can hear it clearly from both the front and back porches, so it does mask the peaceful morning sounds of chirping birds and crickets.Overall, it was a lovely stay and a fantastic backdrop for making family memories!
