Great Weekend Getaway

Beautiful house and property for our family to enjoy over a long weekend. The house was spacious, clean, and beds were comfortable. The ranch is large and remote but close enough to Bastrop and Austin for meal runs. Overall a memorable experience, highly recommended.

Great place to reunite with some friend

This property is stunning and conveniently located! Had a little reunion with some college buds and everyone raved about the place once they got there. Fully intend to return - just a lovely hill country ranch and is incredibly close to loads of cool hill country destinations. You will not be disappointed!

Awesome Texas Ranch Experience!

Spent a long weekend here with the extended family and got the real Texas ranch experience! The younger ones enjoyed walking and exploring around the large outdoor space and there was plenty of space indoors so that we never felt we were on top of one another, even with so many people. Owner was quick to answer questions and the check-in/check-out procedures were super straightforward. Thanks so much!

Great host for our weekend

We stayed at this home with our friends for our wedding weekend, and it was such a special place for us! We used the space to get ready the morning of the ceremony and came back to stay the night after the celebration. The home had a great layout for gathering and getting dressed, and we’ll always remember it as part of our big day.Our only complaint was that the property wasn’t as clean as we had hoped. A bit more attention to cleanliness would’ve made the stay perfect. That said, the location and setup were great, and we really appreciated being able to celebrate such an important weekend there. Can't wait to come back!

Just what we needed

We held a church girls camp here and the experience could not have been better. The ranch house was clean, had a stocked kitchen, great layout, and was just perfect for our group. We had an amazing time and all were thrilled with the accommodations. My only reason for four stars was the kitchen cabinets need some TLC but I would stay here again in an instant. Thanks for a great stay!

Awesome Mother's Day on Cedar Creek

This huge ranch house was the perfect setting for my family to get together and celebrate Mother's Day. The pool was perfect for the kids. The house provided everything we needed, and everyone felt relaxed and comfortable. The hundreds of acres surrounding the house provided fun for off roading and next time we'll be prepared to fish in the pond. The host was terrific to communicate with and the entire trip was simply excellent.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The house, the land, everything. Anyone staying here will not regret it. The living quarters are spacious and it works great for big groups. There is plenty of space outside to gather around the pool or in the yard. And the best part is the land the house sits on. It is pure Texas!

Wide open togetherness

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots if fun exploring the property and gathering for fires at night. So much space for all of us to spread out, but plenty of room to all gather together for a movie or games. Personal recommendations would be to update the shower floors and have a more permanent Fire pit with seating. These would make for a higher level experience. Location was perfect to get to nearby areas (San Antonio, Austin, and Bastrop) for shopping and sightseeing. We truly hope to return again. Communication with Bobby on the few things we did need was very good. Quick to respond to us. Thank you for the perfect get away for all of us.

Thanksgiving at the Blackland Prairie Ranch

There was tons of space at the ranch. We were able to fish, shoot our guns and relax. The house is huge. I think there are a couple of updates that the house could use. Also we’re clean freaks so the place could have been cleaner. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
