Bill (William) is a great host and the property, animals and accommodations are extraordinary! We came to the area to visit family and friends and found ourselves sometimes wanting to just hang out here instead, but we couldn’t do that. Maybe next time!

An experience you will never forget!

I loved the vibes of this place, and the drive to get there is amazing. It’s an experience that has humbled me, a born and raised Texan, regarding the beauty of our state! The property owner is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I would describe him as a true Texan to his core. The property and the animals reflect the love and care that he and his spouse put into this place. Everything about my stay was perfect, including the service. Thank you, Bill!

A wonderful, relaxing weeke

We had a wonderful weekend and the host, Bill, went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and take care of our needs. The views are on the deck was calming and the animals were a fun plus. The beds were great and we all slept well. We will be using again. Carol

Visit from WV

Grandparents recently moved into retirement community in Georgetown. We drove from West Virginia for a visit. The location was great for our family of six. They enjoyed interaction with all the various animals and beautiful surroundings. Grandparents enjoyed visiting with us on the back porch and admired the Longhorns as well as the country setting.And the drive to Georgetown was easy.

gorgeous

This property is a country gem. First let me state that the communication with the Host William (Bill) was on point. I had missed booked the reservation by a day. Reached out to Bill who responded very quickly and I was able to make the change. This place is country living at its greatest. Farm animals (Longhorns, a donkey, chickens, peacocks, horses, and a barn cat named "chicken"), big porch, and a yard swing. Looking for a place to unwind and get away, this is the place. Need anything just ask and Bill will assist if able. Even let me help feed the animals.

Feels like home

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and again we were sad to leave. It literally feels like home (but with a better climate!) There is not a bad comment to be made, everything from cleanliness to hospitality, it has it all. I highly highly recommend!!

Wonderful property and friendliest host!

Bill was an amazing host! There was a slight hiccup in communication the day of arrival but nothing that wasn't quickly remedied. He also was quick to let us know that we had left something vitally important at the house and made it simple for us to retrieve it. My only complaint is that we didn't have longer or better weather to enjoy the stay! We all loved petting the animals but it was too cold for me! We will definitely stay again.

We had a great time!

We stayed the night for a wedding at the vineyard. Perfect, convenient location. My 1 year old daughter had so much fun walking around looking at the peacocks and horses. The house was cozy but plenty of space for my family and dog.

Perfectly Peaceful

What an amazing experience staying here! No detail left behind, to include stocked kitchen, indoor doggie bed, and farm fresh eggs provided! Bill is a genuine guy and amazing host. The menagerie of animals, on the property, was incredible and made for a bonus experience. Wonderful place to stay!

The location of this property was great for us and we enjoyed being out of the city and away from the traffic. The outdoor spaces are so inviting and even in the central Texas heat, the oak trees were lovely shade. Would recommend!

Texas Ranch Experience

We only wish we had planned a longer stay to really experience the authentic ranch life at this homestead! It was very well stocked with all possible needs met. As welcoming as the host was, the best part was the opportunity to interact with his horses, dogs, cats, peacocks, and photograph the long-horned cattle. Already looking forward to another stay in the future!

Peaceful weekend retreat with friends

We had such a beautiful weekend. Bill was one of the best hosts I have had with a booking like this. He was so friendly and welcoming. We felt right at home. The property itself is wonderful and relaxing. We spent our nights on the porch listening to the wind chimes, chatting, and playing cards. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. The animals were a huge plus. Now I can say I have seen a peacock!
