April visit

My granddaughter took over the loft, and renamed it the "princess loft". She was terrified by the goats at first, then was hugging and petting them in less than 12 hrs. We hiked in Colorado Bend State Park and loved the water falls at both ends. Having no phone or internet was just perfect.

We had an awesome time at this location. Being able to interact with the free roaming animals was amazing. House was clean and we had everything we needed. Only issue was how far we were from stores be aware of the 25 minute drive to a grocery store.

Very special get away

My husband and I were looking for a place where we could get away from the city, relax, and stargaze for a couple of days. This place was perfect! There is no TV or internet (our phones still worked fine) which was an added blessing for us. The cistern pool and the horses and goats were the icing on the cake! Oh, and did I mention the stars at night ARE big and bright when you leave the city lights? Just wow! I hope we can come back to this little secluded cabin again!

Best getaway!

My husband and I came here for a long weekend getaway with our two dogs. We had the absolute best time!! The cabin was lovely and the land was fun to explore and the farm animals were so fun to watch and pet. We went golfing and to the Colorado bend state park, as well as staying at the cabin and enjoying the patio. Lovely place! Beth and Tom are some of the nicest people too. We really hope to come back.

Our Happy Place

We have been visiting since March of 2020. We came for the first time when the world was shutting down, and we were all very stressed out. The ranch became our escape, and we have been back many times. This is where we go whenever we need a break from the real world and time to reconnect as a family. My daughter just graduated from HS and will be leaving for Italy for college in a few months; we all knew we needed a trip to the ranch together before we could send her off. Thank you, Beth, for sharing your slice of heaven; we will be back.

Great way to disconnect

My family and I stayed here for a quick weekend get away. It was the perfect way to get the kids exploring and experiencing all that nature has to offer. The creek was flowing which made for great exploring. The pool cooled us off after walking around with goats and horses. My kiddos could not have been more in love than they were with the baby goats on the property. The cottage was perfect for our family of five and had all the necessities. Thank you, Miss Beth, for a fabulous weekend.

Fantastic for that leisurely weekend

Great hosts who know how to cultivate a relaxed spot. The cabin and property make for a perfect spot to relax and forget about life for a weekend. You can easily easily enjoy a nap on the porch for an afternoon after a grilled lunch or have the horses and goats walk up to you to be pet.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Griess

My great-grandfather purchased the ranch. My husband and I are the stewards and invite you to enjoy the serenity and peace that the quiet hill country has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Located one hour forty minutes from Austin or 11 miles from San Saba,Tx. We are also 20 minutes from the Colorado State Park in Bend, Tx. We don’t offer linens as this property is unique. A small inconvenience compared to a private nature preserve.

What makes this property unique

For those that like to cross country bike in the Texas Hill Country, this is a wonderful stop over.

It's 40 minutes from Gorman Falls, an unrealized gem in the Texas Parks.
