Great Place/Awesome Host
Posted Jun. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThe home and host provided for an exceptional family weekend. Hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner and Terri was fantastic for allowing and coordinating tables/chairs leading to a super successful event. Yes, you are in the middle of the city, but you don’t feel like it. The city amenities were just a literal mile away if you needed anything. Home was clean, spacious and great for entertaining. Pool was clean and refreshing. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely ranch home
Posted Mar. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful stay at the ranch house. It was spacious and accommodated our family of eight nicely.
The pool and patio space was roomy with a lovely wooden gazebo and a grill, overlooking the working horse ranch. The sunsets were beautiful and made for great photos. An added bonus is that it is close to Southlake with upscale dining and shopping as well as groceries and other shops four minutes from the ranch!

Our favourite Holiday house ever (and we’ve been to a lot).
Posted Sep. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayThe setting at the ranch is unique amongst the horses. We even got a chance to ride.
The pool was brilliant. My daughters love diving and spent hours there. The rest of the family loved relaxing in and around the pool area.
We had a couple of BBQs in the purpose built area and watched the sunset over the barns with a few beers.
The house was spotlessly clean and all the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and well appointed.
We loved the games room/bar too.
The house is slightly old fashioned but this is absolutely the charm and it shouldn’t be any other way.
The pictures don’t do it justice.
Thanks for a brilliant stay.

Absolute Disaster
Posted Aug. 10, 2023 on HomeAwayIf you are interested in this property, please beware of a couple of things. The host entered our property multiple times during our stay. While we are unsure if they entered the actual house, they did enter the garage and pool area multiple times while we were not present and also DURING our stay while we were in the pool. When I confronted the homeowner, he said he was looking for an outlet for some welders. I asked him to leave the property as there were multiple family members including children 10ft from him. He refused and went about his business. We took photos and videos of all of the events. There were multiple active wasp nests around the property. When we inquired with the host, they said thank you and proceeded to drop off a non working can of wasp spray the next morning. The outdoor bbq grill has never been cleaned and is overflowing with grease. We attempted to use the grill which proceeded to catch fire multiple times. There are multiple wires hanging from the outdoor patio area. There are large nails sticking out of the wood floors around the inside of the house. The flys around the property are terrible. The hosts were loitering the entire weekend of our stay. There was not one day during our 4 day stay in which we did not see both homeowners multiple times. This is not a relaxing ranch home, instead it is a run down rental which the owners are only in it for the cash. This is supposed to be and looks like a relaxing farm house on the outside, but beware.

Guest was informed that the horse pasture metal gate need to be repaired by welder for the safety of the horses and the guests. Only available electrical service was at the corner of outdoor kitchen. It clearly states in property description that it is on a working horse ranch. Guest only has access to house and pool area. Feeding and caring for 14 horses is not defined as lurking around the property . Horses cannot feed themselves and it is ludicrous for a guest to think the horses should be left unattended without food and water for their stay. Guest placed hose in pool and overfilled to overflowing and owner had to ensure it was turned off only pool area was entered on that day to remove the hose. Because of guest performing unauthorized pool maintenance of filling when it was at acceptable capacity. The pool chemicals were totally depleted and it took three days after guest left to establish chemical balance and stabilize pool system. It clearly states in welcome check in instructions that someone may enter pool and yard areas to perform maintenance.
As for hanging wires on back porch these actually water tubes and pipes which are part of irrigation and misting system .
As for wasp spray it was stated we could leave in garage but a full new can was handed to the guest personally. Why they were unable to operate seems suspicious as can was left half full at Outdoor kitchen once they had vacated. Owner never entered garage and it is a fabrication to disparage us. The property like any ranch or farm property can get insects. A source of water like a pool will draw wasps especially in summer when water is need for them to build mud nests.
The interior ranch house floor is rough plank ranch house flooring made to add to the western character and charm of real ranch house decor.
As for guest’s inability to run the grill it is a commercial high BTU unit. It can cook at extremely high temperatures. If you cook high fat content hamburgers on high with hood open. Yes the grill can flare up. The cause was not a dirty grill but misuse of equipment.
Some people just like to complain for sake of their own unhappiness and feel self elevation band smugness by trying to disparage others . We are happy and welcoming Texans who work hard and care for our property. It speaks volumes of this guest to see one sky is falling review where ten others enjoy the property and appreciate hospitality and upkeep.

Great location in Keller, TX
Posted Apr. 28, 2023 on HomeAwayBeautiful location and property in Keller, TX. Perfect accommodations for 3 couples and 2 single men. We had a great time visiting my Great Uncle, a WWII vet, who lives in the area with his son. Comfortable beds! Loved cooking on the outdoor kitchen sitting and watching the horses running and being trained. It feels like you're staying on a ranch out in the country, but stores are just down the street. Walking and running in the mornings was perfect. Highly recommend!

Family meeting after Christmas
Posted Jan. 3, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful time together at the ranch. 2022 had its “opportunities “ for us. One of our families moved to Keller this year, there were two marriages, job changes, eye surgery and Covid So, We opted to celebrate “family” after Christmas with travelers from 4 states. DFW is about 20 minutes away and convenient for those flying. Our family who now lives in Keller is about 10 minutes away so they could visit but have the children at home for the night. The outdoor kitchen was a wonderful place to grill and spend time together. The children could run and play and we all loved watching the horses. The billiard room was well used and there was plenty of places to eat. The storage was great and we loved the open floor plan. There was a lot of privacy at the ranch but it was convenient for shopping for groceries. We ate all our meals at the ranch so we used the kitchen a lot. Terri was a very responsive host and we enjoyed meeting her in person to talk about the horses and how the property was managed. We would rent it again.

Gilbert Family Christmas Near Grapevine TX
Posted Dec. 27, 2022 on HomeAwayThanks. The property is great, There were plenty of beds that were actual beds and comfortable. We were 9 total adults and all were comfortable. The area was in the middle of a significant cold spell - single digits at night - so the use of the fireplace was very needed as the heat in the house would not keep up. The great room was great for a large family Christmas. Having the horses there even though they are not able to be ridden was a nice touch. We were locked inside because of the cold but would like to take advantage of the pool and outside kitchen and fire place. Close to Grapevine for the Christmas items. Very close to services like grocery and such. The property manager was VERY responsive and was available for questions and assistance. If we decide to do another family gathering in the Dallas area we would definitely try to use this property again.

Family weekend
Posted Oct. 27, 2022 on HomeAwayThe property is beautiful and quiet. A great get away weekend, but close enough to golf courses, stores, restaurants, and even the Grapevine Mills Mall. The rooms are large enough to set up a pack-n-play in each if needed, and the game room was a bonus for our teens and adults who stayed up later than our littles.
We will be back next time we're in the area.
