We really enjoyed our stay. It’s a peaceful place with a fishing lake and a nice pool, perfect for relaxing. There were some spider webs on the windows, the refrigerator was a little dirty, and the air conditioning didn’t work very well during the afternoon heat. Other than that, everything was great and we had a very good experience overall.

After living in a very busy city for years the quiet was very much appreciated. The pond is stocked very well and my son caught about a 10 pound catfish. The expansive property gave everyone a place to call their own during our stay. The inside was extremely clean and well decorated. The beds were comfortable and the house was fully stocked with appliances, utensils, glassware, and cookware. 10 out of 10, do recommend.

We stayed at the ranch over Easter weekend with family and we couldn’t have made better memories there. The house was exactly as expected, and the owners greeted us the first day and were beyond wonderful. They made us feel welcomed and so grateful for sharing their piece of paradise with us. Our kids had a blast swimming and feeding their horses while the men spent all weekend catching fish by the pond. This was an amazing Vacay, and we would recommend anyone to book here. We will definitely be returning!

We love this place and it was our second time staying here. Definitely want to make this our yearly summer vacation. The kids love the pool, the game room and fishing. It’s a prefect location to get away from every day life and enjoy the outdoors.

This place was awesome. Having the Pool, fire pit with wood and the fishing pond were all a nice bonus! The owners were the nicest people and made sure everything was perfect. 15 minutes from the casino if that’s your thing. Less than 5 minutes from the lake if you want to bring your boat.

We absolutely loved staying at this house! There was plenty of room for everyone and the house was clean. We drove in from Illinois for a family wedding and were able to get in the house early. The lake was wonderful and I caught the largest bass I’ve ever caught! The horses came to the fence and we enjoyed visiting with them. The house is secluded and quiet. It was just a short drive from the wedding reception. I hope that we can stay there again sometime!

GREAT family trip!

We really enjoyed our stay at this ranch! Hosts greeted us the first day and answered any questions we had. With 3 generations of family - it was wonderful to be able to keep us ALL busy! The pool, the pond, the pool table, and the firepit were all used throughout the weekend! Everyone especially loved seeing all the livestock in the fields. Thanks again for a very memorable weekend for our entire family!

Our stay was peaceful and full of relaxation time. The house is very spacious and comes with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. We were a bit disappointed that the pool never got warm enough to swim in. Apparently, the colder outside it is, the less likely that the machine will be able to warm the water enough for comfort. Only two bold kids swam in there but it was very chilly. The views are wonderful, the owners are responsive and the location was good.

Tex, Monica and Family, Thank you so much for sharing your amazing property with our family this weekend! So much fun was had and memories made!! The kids and adults especially enjoyed catching so many fish (catfish, bass and crappie). The pool was also a big hit! The house had everything we needed and then some!! It was nice to meet Tex when he stopped by. If you’re looking for a place to satisfy your entire family, Tex’s Ranch is your place! Our family cannot wait to come back!
