We're overjoyed to receive your five – star review! It's wonderful to know that the charm of our place resonated with you. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we're so glad you found the peace you were seeking during your stay. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again. Thank you for sharing your experience! A Vacation Your Way at our ranch!
Loved the Secluded Vibe! Great Host, We'll Be Back
by LaceyI absolutely loved this cozy home away from home. All the animals and trees made it feel like it was so secluded and peaceful. The host, Kara, was very sweet and answered all of my questions and was very quick with responding. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for having us!
We're deeply appreciative of your generous 5 – star review. Our working ranch in Hico, TX, holds a special place in our hearts. The magnificent Oak Trees, charming sheep (Larry, Moe, and Curly), and adorable mini – donkeys all contribute to the unique charm of our property. It's truly a "Vacation Your Way" experience at our ranch!
5-Star Host Makes This Stay a Gem

Cozy Getaway with a Great Fire Pit!
by KaraCute place, loved the outdoor fire pit.
Kid-approved! Animals, Quiet Stay & Close to Dino Park
by AmandaWe had a short stay but enjoyed every minute. My kiddos loved all the animals, especially how friendly cats were. It was quiet and peaceful with an easy drive to downtown Hico as well as other surrounding small towns. Our main reason for coming was to visir Dinosaur Valley State Park and it was only 30 min drive. Kara was very helpful with all my questions and Jonathan the ranch hand was kind and patient with my kids during a morning animal feeding. Im glad the weather was cooler because there isn't AC (or at least we didnt see it) but it was lovely with the windows open. We only used the toaster but the kitchen was well equipped to make other meals, if you wanted. Hico was such a charming town and we will definitely be back.
We look forward to you coming back for a week – long stay! Glad your get – a – way was fantastic!!

The Perfect Hico Getaway: Charming Tiny Home!
by PjThe tiny home was fantastic. Charming, very clean, and just the right size to suit all of our needs. If you’re looking to experience Hico, TX, this is the perfect place to stay.
Cozy Getaway with Comfy Beds and Great Amenities!
by MoonA very charming stay. Both queen beds were very comfortable and cozy. The ladder to the loft is a bit narrow for some people, but perfect if you do t have any issues climbing. All amenities were provided and we loved how the hot water in the shower lasted for several people taking back to back showers. Outside, we enjoyed the fire pit area, where we setup for photographing the night sky instead of lighting a fire. We would surely make s’mores by the fire next time we visit. I spotted some hammocks in the area, I would have loved to try one, but we didn’t have time.
Moon, Thank you for your charming review! We love the night sky too! We are so glad your photos came out beautifully! We look forward too seeing you again soon! Please consider also visiting out Tiny Town at Lake Eastland! A fantastic night sky and calm sweet Lake!

Anna thank you for your feedback. We are always working to improve the house and the stay for our guests.

I hope you return again soon to see these improvements to the home.
