    I couldn’t believe how beautiful and peaceful the ranch was. At the last minute, I needed extra rooms, and Mr Alan accommodated me. It was an amazing experience celebrating my daughter’s wedding. I totally recommend this ranch for anyone wanting to stay out in the Hill Country. And it’s a must-see hike towards the river. The hired photographer was in awe of the space. Again thank you Mr Alan for being there when needed and being so prompt. Your love was felt in the home through your kindness.

    We had 4 generations together - 8 week old baby to 88 yr old great grandmother and it meant our needs perfectly. We live the dual kitchens, large living room and access to to the beautiful Medina River. Out door fireplace was a huge hit as well.

    Loved the place. We had a large group of people and it accommodated everyone. The common room in the main house was perfect. Definitely a lot of memories were made this weekend.

    Plenty of room and it’s all clean. Comfy beds, ceiling fans, nice towels, intriguing decor, lots of areas for small groups, and beautiful grounds. Great attention to detail. Plus private access to the river. Would be great for a church retreat, wedding venue, etc. Highly recommend.

    Alan was great to work with. He was always very quick to respond to any questions/concerns. We rented the entire property for 3 nights/4 days. There were 22 adults, a teenager and three small dogs. We never felt like we were stepping all over each other, as the place has lots of little spaces to visit and chat. It was very clean, had all the amenities you would need and the river access is AMAZING! Private, shaded, clean, clean water. It was a perfect weekend. Would definitely rent again.

    I can't say enough nice things about this property. There was plenty of room for 13 adults to each have their own bed. There was room outside for us to socialize and eat. The kitchens (yes, there are 2!) both had everything we needed

    Great, large property with plenty of space to hangout. Lounge in the great room with a view to the courtyard or hangout outside with plenty of seating and outdoor fireplace. Located just outside of town for a nice quiet stay. Five minutes to Bandera and 15 minutes to Medina. Alan is a great host who stays in contact with you during your stay. Always making sure you’re taken care of! We will definitely stay here again.

    The property fit our needs comfortably. There were 19 of us who met for a family Chistmas get together. The bedroom/bathroom combination was excellent. The game room, dining room and two kitchens were comfortable for our game playing, preparing meals and eating. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and river as the weather was very pleasant. Alan is a wonderful host and very attentive. We would definitely stay here again.

    I have been staying at this property since the early 90s. The new owners have done an amazing job. Check in was easy, property is amazing, and checkout/clean-up was easy. Great communication by the owners. River is amazing in this area. Great place. Let’s me give my kids the same memories I have as a child.
