Serene Retreat at Garza’s Ranch - Ponies & Cows
Our cozy barn-style home (and everything on the property) was thoughtfully built from the ground up by "Garza" himself, giving your stay a truly personal and authentic ranch feel. The property sits on 4 acres, with about 1 acre for the house and 3 acres home to our cows and ponies, including mamas and their babies.
You’ll drive through a quiet rural subdivision to arrive, but once you’re here, the space feels peaceful, private, and surrounded by open land. At the entrance, an antique truck sits on a hand-built brick platform, adding a unique rustic touch and a great photo opportunity.
The lighted pavilion is perfect for BBQs, relaxing evenings, or small gatherings.
Guests can also access the stable area from the porch or inside the home, where we provide feed so you can interact with and feed the cows up close—one of our guests’ favorite experiences.
Please note this is a true ranch setting. You may encounter bugs and natural dust. We provide a bug zapper and tiki torches to help, but if you have strong allergies to dust or hay, don't forget your allergy medicine!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table. Change of towels is available on request.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.
