The new home was lovely, well stocked for short visits and had beautiful views. This property seems to be relatively new to the short term rental market and a work in progress. There were some minor issues but our customer person was very pleasant and quick to respond and resolve our issues to the best of her ability. We would definitely stay here again if our travels take us to this part of Texas.

This place is amazing. We had few family gathering for New Year. Hidden Gem for Families and Pickleball Enthusiasts! We recently visited a charming ranch home that turned out to be a perfect getaway for our family. The property had everything we could ask for: a cozy, welcoming ambiance, spacious interiors, and a beautifully maintained outdoor area. The highlight was the private pickleball court! It became the center of our family bonding time, and even the kids, who were new to the sport, loved it. The court was well-designed and had all the equipment we needed, making it a great experience for players of all levels. With just a few families sharing the property, it felt intimate and peaceful. The smaller group made it easy to connect with others, yet we still had plenty of privacy. The ranch itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the modern amenities you’d expect. It’s clear that the owners put thought into making it comfortable and family-friendly. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique getaway that combines relaxation, community, and a bit of friendly competition on the pickleball court!

We were in town for a wedding, staying with another family, and this spacious home accommodated all nine of us perfectly! The fully stocked kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. The whole family had a blast playing pickleball in the shop, and the countryside views during breakfast were breathtaking. We truly didn’t want to leave! If we’re ever back in this part of Texas, we’ll definitely choose to stay here again!
