An artist finds a natural canvas in front of her cozy log cabin.

Take a few days off to enjoy the last weeks of summer. Explore the 650-acres of our Central Texas Vacation Ranch on horseback. Share a romantic picnic – complete with champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries – in our gazebo on the lake. Try your hand at archery, or simply curl up with a good book on your shaded porch.

Cook for yourself in your cabin, or wander over to Carol’s Restaurant, which features amazing Texas cuisine. Tuck into sweet potato fries, cool off with chilled watermelon gazpacho, and try a Cornish Game Hen with jalapeno cream. The atmosphere is always fun and casual, and guests of the bed and breakfast rub shoulders with locals.

Come for a romantic getaway with the person you love, or bring your whole family. Children will love exploring the ranch before heading back to school, and parents will love having the kids to themselves. Couples may find romance in a hot-air balloon ride over the lovely Texas landscape, or walking hand in hand under the oaks.

It doesn’t really matter what you do once you are here – what matters is that you come in the first place.

Have you ever spent the night on a Texas guest ranch? It is incredibly peaceful here. You’ll drift off to sleep listening to the breeze caressing live oaks. You’ll awaken to birdsong. You’ll find the time and the space to truly appreciate one another.

We offer a number of guest ranch specials to tempt the romantic in you; the Romance Special and the Valentine’s Day Special seem appropriate right now, but it may also be the right time to renew your vows, treat your sweetie to a horseback ride and picnic, or surprise him/her with a massage. We will strive to meet your romance requirements, whether they be champagne in the room, a horseback ride/wine picnic, or a dinner out.

Some people place a great deal of importance on Valentine’s Day, and some don’t. Yet everyone appreciates it when the person they love takes the time to plan something special. So why not do that this year?

Joe and Amy, minutes after she said "yes".

We were happy that recently Joe selected our Texas Guest Ranch as the place to pop the question to Amy. Amy obviously knew about their weekend together, but Joe kept the proposal a secret until the moment he asked for her hand. Joe made some arrangements to help set the proper mood: wrangler Carol guided the couple on a horseback ride to Enchanted Lake, where a bottle of champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries were waiting for them in the Gazebo.

Our Texas Guest Ranch offers several special packages for folks with marriage on the mind. There is a package for guests of the ranch, and another for couples who want a special location for the proposal, but plan to return home at the end of the day.

We understand how important this moment is, and we strive to create a unique and private experience for everyone.

We have ten cabins/cottages available, scattered throughout the guest ranch, several of which can comfortably house eight people. No need to try to cram all of your scrapbooking materials into one small room – take over the whole house! Heck, book all the cabins and take over the whole ranch. It could be a scrapbooker’s paradise!

When your eyes tire or you need to stretch out a bit, we have miles of trails for you. You can even mix things up with horseback rides if you like, or take the feed tour and visit the animals. Refreshed and invigorated, you will return to your work with renewed creativity.

Such a lovely place to scrapbook
