Lipan, Texas
Come enjoy some of the most stunning countryside views from our authentic Texas ranch. Our custom, newly remodeled Homestead sits on top of one of the highest hills in Hood County and provides a modern, western feel with great amenities such as a heated pool, a fire pit, a game pit (putting green, corn hole and horseshoes), and a covered outdoor kitchen. You will find yourself feeling rejuvenated as the sun rises and sets over the most charming Texas landscapes in the DFW area.
THE SPACE
Located an hour outside of DFW, our ranch-style Homestead is uniquely situated on top of one of the highest hills in the area and is the perfect place for a weekend retreat, a family reunion, or a group of friends looking to escape the city.
The newly remodeled ranch-style house is 6000 sq. ft. with 6 bedrooms/6 bathrooms and can sleep 18 people. Each bedroom is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The house is very spacious with a large living room and dining room, a barroom, and a billiards room. You will have access to the 3-acre yard which includes a swimming pool (heated upon request IF the weather stays above 45 degrees, for an addition $150/day and 2 day minimum), a covered outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a 9-hole putting green, two corn hole boards, and two horseshoe pits.
We encourage our guests to relax, take in the sounds of nature, and enjoy the peaceful, quiet setting as you lounge by our pool. We provide pool towels and a limited number of pool floats for our guests.
Plenty of parking is available in the driveway and around the yard.
If you need something from town, the property is a 15-minute drive to the nearest small town, Lipan. Here you will find a gas station, a Dollar General, a bakery (hours vary), and a pizzeria (hours vary). In the opposite direction, within a 15-minute drive, you will find a Mexican restaurant called Garcia’s. Granbury is a 25-minute drive and Weatherford is a 30-minute drive, both of which you can find many restaurants and shops.
The ranch is rurally located, so we encourage you to bring food and groceries so that you can enjoy your time on the property without having to drive to town.
We offer additional activities on our ranch for an ADDITIONAL price, upon request. These activities include: fishing, bicycle trail riding, and a shooting range.
We're very willing to accommodate events or other requests such as birthday parties, weddings, meetings, or corporate events. All events will be priced in addition to the nightly rate and details (number of guests, length of stay, etc.) will determine the event fee. Please send over any details you have when making an inquiry. ALL PARTIES AND EVENTS must be approved by us before booking. The maximum number of guests allowed at the house is 18 unless otherwise approved. If you are looking to book any event for more than 18 people, please contact us for more information about pricing.
Our property is an operating ranch and located in nature, so you can expect to find all types of creepy crawlies. Make sure you pack bug spray and appropriate shoes if you plan on spending time outside walking around. There are two dogs on the property that sometimes make their way from the Farmhouse yard to the Homestead yard. They are friendly, but if you have a fear of dogs, please let us know so we can secure them during your stay. There is also a barn cat that roams the yard.
We do have barns and farm animals at our Farmhouse which is in a separate yard from the Homestead yard. THIS AREA IS OFF-LIMITS TO OUR GUESTS. Guests are encouraged to request additional information if you desire to have walking access at our ranch.
We look forward to hosting you! Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

We had an amazing time!!! Our home was everything we expected It to be!! It was clean, warm and inviting yet rustic and ready for outdoor adventures!!! There were enough rooms and bathrooms for our whole family and kids! The kitchen was very well stocked!! We heated the pool everyday and the whole family swam every day!! The kiddos multiple times a day!! We utilized all the available activities the house provided! The only thing we did not get to do was the shooting range! So we must come back next year!! We catered barbecue and hired live music for entertainment our last night there for a good ole family backyard dance!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a lovely place for us to host our family get together!!
Ali and Dani were so helpful in making our family vacation amazing! Great communication and genuinely wanted to ensure that we had everything we needed at all times. The property is beautiful!! The outdoor area was our favorite with a pool, outdoor kitchen/bar, beautiful views, majestic oaks that were lit at night, horseshoes, minigolf and bean bags. Inside is beyond compare with ample bedrooms/bathrooms, tastefully decorated with enough western influence to provide that ranch experience we were looking for. The FULLY stocked kitchen and amenities provided were appreciated! Plenty of life preservers and pool toys to keep everyone floating and happy! We enjoyed fishing in the pond and doing yoga on the green at the event center. Ali generously offered a tour of the farmyard which is noted as a favorite memory for many of us. Our grandchildren were allowed to hold chickens!! A big deal for these city kids! There was no need to leave the property to find something to occupy our time - the days were filled with the activities provided. I am finding that my words cannot express the appreciation we have for the experience we shared as a family at Diamond A Ranch. Thank you to the entire staff!
We had a wonderful party for my husband here. The place is spacious and has so many activities ! It was better than I could have dreamed.
Awesome place! Perfect for lots of people! We'll definitely be back!
Awesome play to stay. Enough activities to keep the kids entertained with swimming, horseshoes, cornhole, pool table and fishing. The views were beautiful. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, even extra things we don't usually see in a rental. If you like country, isolated setting, nice accommodations and enough space for a larger group, it's a great place to be.
We all gathered for my Mom’s 90th birthday party. It was such a success we may do it about in 3-5 years. The property is exactly as advertised and was perfect for us.
The house was very personal! Furnishings and the amenities were so nice! Cookies and fruit upon arrival. The kitchen was great, beds were soft, pool felt wonderful and there was a pool table. Great vacation!
We loved everything about this place, we will definitely be back!
Everything was perfect, from Aspyn the girl who was there for us for anything we needed to the property itself. TOPSHELF EVERYTHING!!
We had a family group ranging in age from 4 to 72. The property itself was stunning and impressive.There was so much to do, from swimming, mini golf, corn hole , playing pool and just hanging around in the beautiful surroundings. It is hard to pick a favorite spot because there were so many. The outdoor kitchen was wonderful and a great place to gather in the evening. It was quite warm, but there was always a nice breeze blowing, a breeze strong enough for some kite flying fun. Everyone had their own space to retreat to, but lots of space to gather together, for meals, a daily pool tournament, or just hanging out in the lovely spaces, indoor and out. Our host, Ali, was exceptionally attentive to every thing we needed, and could not have been better. Our group agreed that this was the best place we have stayed. This was our third VRBO house, but the favorite by far. The house was so well stocked, that we had everything we could possibly need. We also chose to get access to the pond, and our fishers of all ages had a blast. It was an outstanding experience and well worth the trip.
Our group of 12 has been vacationing together for many years an this is one of the best places we've stayed. The gameroom was a favorite for many people, with a large pool table and a bar and little drinks fridge. The pool and outdoor games were also a big hit. It was a nice surprise that there were plenty of pool towels provided for ALL of us, with extras left over, and we were all impressed with the little touches like the basket with sunscreens, or the little treats waiting when we got there. Seriously, the cookies got a lot of comments. There's a sort of clearing area, a stone patio or something that overlooks a gorgeous hilly view and people liked to get up and sit out there for morning coffee. We also enjoyed the random ranch animals. We saw horses, goats (from afar), sheep dogs, and a hilarious friendly cat that would randomly show up outside the glass door and just intensely watch you in the kitchen. The toddler loved this. A final note--I never realized how much I need a heated outdoor shower in my life. I don't have a pool at home, so this is not something I should need, but it was wonderful getting out of the pool and rinsing off right there without the usual freezing water that outdoor showers usually have. For some reason this was one of my highlights of the trip. It's also nice that the dining table fit all of us. One side is a bench seat so you can squeeze in all the smaller butts on that side!
