Not for us
We all felt unsafe. The property was a mess and the animals looked malnourished. There was a dead duck at the pond. The deer was super creepy. The dirty dogs went in the house, and they could not get them out. It looked like the people just left the house for you to stay in. The poor zonkey was tied to walker and looked like he had been there a long time all matted up. The people are super friendly but not exactly what we expected. It will be an expensive experience we will never forget. We second guess when we book VRBO now.

Amazing Texan Ranch experience
Awesome ranch with dogs, cattle, longhorn, horses, ponies, donkeys, peacocks, deer, birds, emu etc. and a baby kangaroo as well. There are more than 350 birds and animals. Animal lovers will adore this place. We went in December for 2 nights with family and friends. VRBO was great with booking experience. Some glitches with itinerary updates and chats. It was slow. Everyone had tons of fun at the ranch and house. Plan to take food or groceries if you don’t want to drive out again. Although, Centerville(city nearby) has got all that you would need. Check in is 4 pm, so try to reach earlier (especially in winter) to make use of the daylight.Susan the host, Ethan the guide and Cowboy are great. They are very humble and their hospitality was amazing. Susan got a taste of Indian ginger tea which my friend and his wife are experts. House is maintained well with all the amenities. Mornings are greeted by birds and deer which come near the house.. Myriad of activities feed rides, paddle boating, horseback riding, skeet shooting, miniature pony rides. These are charged as guide, animals and equipment are involved. Fishing (catch and release)can be done at leisure. You need to bring your own gear. The four big mountain dogs need special mention. They protect the ranch and the people inside. We have never seen such friendly dogs. Kids got immediately attached. Evening lights and sun are feat to the eyes. Nights are soothing with mesmerizing view of stars. We used the fire pit where kids made s’mores. We left in morning with a heavy heart and felt we could do more, spend more time the ranch. Since then, Once every few days we remember and discuss the activities and fun we had. We will be going back for sure sometime. Unforgettable experience.
