Our family, with 3 young boys, had an excellent time. The house was beautiful, comfortable and equipped for our needs. We enjoyed the ranch life and time at the river. We also spent a lot of time at Rocker B Ranch. It was an easy and gorgeous drive to and from the baseball complex.

Wonderful Get Away

We had 5 ladies and 2 teens in our girls trip get away and we had the best time. Only complaint is we didn't have enough time at the house...LOL Stephanie was amazing to work with and the house and property is amazing. We will be back. We loved visiting Mineral Wells, such a cute town, we did a ghost walk of The Baker and a ghost hunt, we did shopping in MW and ate at Cocktails and Coffee, highly recommend getting this home for a nice little get away. OHH the beds and pillows are AMAZING.

Best vacation rental yet!

Let's be honest, there aren't many vacation rentals that truly live up to the description and pictures on the listing page. This is NOT one of those. Easily the nicest, cleanest, most beautiful, best-equipped home we've stayed at, even after many years of travel and staying at vacation rentals. The views are amazing. It's off the beaten path, but that's part of the charm and well worth it.

So Relaxing and Peaceful

We absolutely loved our stay. The gated neighborhood/ranch was quiet and remote but still convenient to get to town (and Mineral Wells is such a great town with friendly people). The barndo is on the perfect spot to take in the sunrise and the views of the hills. It is new, clean, spacious and well appointed (the listing is very accurate). The river access is so convenient, where you can just sit in the water, cool off, and enjoy. Check in was easy, and owner communicated well. We would gladly stay here again!

Perfect Getaway

We were in town for a ball tournament and needed a place to stay with our 2 dogs. This was the perfect spot! Easy to get to but is off the beaten path. Very quiet and peaceful. Communication was prompt and very welcoming. We had plenty of dishes, utensils and toiletry items for our stay. My family loved the outdoor area and played Cornhole every night! We even did some fishing but the river was really high so we weren’t able to get in but my child had the best time! Beautiful place with the most comfortable beds and pillows! Would definitely stay again!

Secluded luxury

This was a surprise find for us. We needed a place to stay for our son’s baseball tournament and decided we’d try this vs hotels in Mineral Wells. Great location, secluded so privacy is there by default but very nice place with top end touches throughout the home. The beds were soooo comfortable and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 to spread out. Access to the Brazos river was a plus and saw the neighborhood cows and turkey throughout our stay. Good spot to get away and relax with a beautiful view from the back porch where we spent most of our time. Stephanie was awesome on communicating anything we needed. Would definitely return.
