Other Details to Note
Our 53-acre ranch is surrounded by nature’s beauty, which includes wildlife that may warrant caution. Any countryside stay like ours requires good sense and some basic wildlife knowledge. If needed, more information is available upon booking. We regularly treat and maintain our buildings to minimize intrusion of bugs and other pests. However, when you're in the TX countryside pests are not 100% preventable. We cannot offer refunds due to bugs or other pests. We offer a couple of optional add-ons to make your stay even more fun: - Bounce House – Available during your stay for a $75 flat fee (Please note: If it’s too windy we may not be able to set it up for safety reasons. If this is the case, we would refund any fees already paid.) - Heated Pool – We can heat the pool for a $75 flat fee as well.
