Grass
This house was very nice, we would stay here again. It was quiet, peaceful, clean and we loved watching the wildlife from the dock. The river was still low but we knew that beforehand. What we didn’t know was, it was going to storm and the river was suddenly going to rise 3 feet and the river would turn into a steady river of trash, you could almost walk across lol. However, that’s not the owners fault. The only complaint we had about this house is the grass looked like it hadn’t been cut in two months. We didn’t use the fire pit, the swings or the actual steps into the water because it was so high. The steps had a bush of some type taking them over.

Absolutely perfect
We booked this property for our family of 9. Everything was perfect. The host was quick to respond to any questions I had. The house was immaculate and cozy. The casita was perfect for my older son and his wife. The property was also immaculate. We truly enjoyed every little detail that the host put into this home. It was truly a home away from home.

Clean and stocked
Nice getaway but the water level was so low, we probably wouldn’t have booked it. It seemed like the pictures were a bit optimistic regarding the water level.

Great Spot!
Longhorn river ranch was a fantastic stay. Super clean, easy to access, great/fast communication from the owner. A word of warning- if you’re booking the house to enjoy the river, be sure to check water levels before you do so (the host was a really helpful guide).

Weekend Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was a perfect choice. The amenities were amazing, lots of things to do. The beds were comfortable! We appreciated the “little things”, like phone charges in the bedroom. We definitely will stay again!

Longhorn getaway
The location was wonderful. The river levels were low like explained but the wildlife was out and about from the fish in the river to the deer on the other side the river. The house was clean on arrival and fit everyone comfortably. Will definitely rent again.
