Beautiful scenery

Beautiful place with amazing scenery surrounding the ranch. The pool area looking over the mountains was so nice but they should have more sun beds so not only a couple guests can lay down in the sun. Also the room could’ve been cleaned better, dirty sheets and left over bottle from the last guests. Highlight of the visit was the Longhorn feeding in the morning, such cool experience.

The ranch was amazing! My gf and I had a fabulous time enjoying a relaxing and fun Labor Day weekend. The horse back riding is a must - we’ve not been on a horse in over 20 years & the guide was great & horses are very gentle and well mannered. The pool and hot tub was great to relax and enjoy a beautiful sunset. The only downside was the restaurant was booked - make sure to RSVP! We did go into town, about 15 minutes, and there are plenty of food options also. Will definitely be going back!

It was what we made it. When we checked in, the staff was friendly and apologetic, but we had to wait for room to be ready so we drove around the property, but the roads were not very passable to get to places. There is not alot of privacy at what they call cabins. The room itself is nice and large, but the back porch offers no privacy or space from other 3 rooms that are combined in the one cabin. The views were nice and serene but you really can't see much. It's not a very walkable property. The pictures on website are a bit misleading. The horseback ride was disappointing as it was just a walk through rocky treed pasture area, but not with much to see. Even when you walked past the Brazos river, we didn't stop to see it. The guide never talked or anything unless asked specific questions. Our dinner at the steakhouse was disappointing and expensive. The bacon wrapped quail was good but the chicken-fried steak gravy tasted very floury and the peppered salmon special tasted burnt. We had hoped for a steak but not at $50. The town of Graham really has only fast food choices. We drove out to see Possum Kingdom and the dam but not much to see/do in that area either. All-in-all it was an expensive weekend for napping.

Our stay…

It was great, we loved the place. However there was an error with my booking. They showed me as having two rooms booked so I had to pay double. Hotels.com only showed one room. Zero cell phone service and the WiFi could use help.

The staff didn’t seem to care and explained multiple times to us that it was in the process of being sold therefore they just put maintenance and everything on hold. The TV in our room didn’t work and we were told sorry not sure what to tell you. We planned an activity that they weren’t able to accommodate (half the reason why we chose this resort was because of the activities to do). For what I paid a night, I expected things to work and staff to not say oh we are selling so you get what you get.

Repos au ranch

Séjour très agréable prévu à notre arrivée près 13h de voyage pour se poser et être dans la nature. Nous logions dans une cabine et l’emplacement était idéal. La chambre très spacieuse. Et la vue à l’arrière très agréable. Nous avons apprécié également la piscine extérieur avec son jaccuzi. Le seul bémol certaines activités sont proposées de manières trop succinctes, sans mise en scène particulière, cela perd donc de son charme et ça ne vaut pas le tarif appliqué Par contre le clay c’est très sympa.

It wasn’t exactly what I thought a ranch experience would be. Somewhat disappointed in the trail ride experience. Really nothing to see except dusty trails and expensive to ride for about an hour. The romantic trail ride was awful. We rode horses to a “campsite “ and they couldn’t lite a fire for anything. All we got was smoke in our eyes and plate of grapes and cheese, meat was chewy and slimy and a cheap bottle of wine.
