Eyes of Texas
We had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year with our adult children and their spouses and significant others relaxing in the beautiful Texas hill country. And I got a great picture of myself (Texas-Ex) with all my favorite Aggies underneath the Longhorn! Priceless.

Great Place for Family Time
Our family, 14 to 77 years, stayed here and had a great time. Lots of of good seating in and outside of the house to sit and talk. The pool/hot tub was a hit and we enjoyed sitting around the gas fire pit. Very clean, and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Quiet Escape, Gorgeous Pool Area, Exceptional Amenities and Accoutrements
This house was simply amazing for our group. The room configuration allowed everyone to have their private space at night and the open set-up in the living areas gave us plenty of room to be together without feeling cramped. The towels were top of the line, I mean luxurious. My brother commented that even if there were no water, the towels would make up for it! I was impressed by the tableware and cutlery and how well the kitchen was stocked in general. Enough for an army and stunning. Everything was immaculate. The outside area was a dream. Different seating areas in front to watch the birds, in back to have morning coffee in one of the hanging chairs on the back patio, or relaxing by the real fire pit. We used the smores kit the host provided and what a treat! Yeah, that's right - the hosts provided a smores kit! And the POOL AREA WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTUFUL with many lounge chairs and a lit conversation seating area with a gas fire pit. Plenty of seating in every outdoor area. They really thought of everything. And to top it all off, the host was kind, attentive and responsive. I will say that it IS in the country so the last few miles of road take some getting used to but the house is worth it! SUPERB EXPERIENCE! And the HEB delivers!

Long weekend stay
The home is about 30 minutes outside Dripping Springs but that is so nice at night when you’re sitting in the hot tub or fire pit. The sky is so clear and beautiful!

Greatly enjoyed our stay here. The house was spotless and comfortable; kids loved the chair swings and pool, and dawn and dusk sky views were awesome. Would definitely go bak.

Perfect Getaway
This is my second trip to Star Canyon Ranch and it was every bit as good as my first. We started every morning on the front porch with the sunrise and humming birds. Great hikes, cooled off in the pool and made awesome meals (because I cooked) in the well stocked and functional kitchen. The house is immaculate and it's just a perfect reset - only 30 min from Austin. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Space and Responsive company
The space was stunning. The home is very well stock and has high end products. The beds were comfortable and the place is very well kept. The rental company responded quickly to all of my questions which is not something you see all the time. The place is very remote so it's best to get groceries and stay on the property. The only issue we had was during heavy rain the wifi did go out but it was resolved when the rain stopped. There is plenty of wildlife and this was the perfect choice for our working retreat. We would def stay here again!
