    I'm not exaggerating when I say this was a life-changing experience. These elephants are the most…read moremajestic, gentle, intelligent creatures I've ever been this close to. Seeing them up close in such a loving, respectful environment truly moved me. You can tell how well they are cared for, in every way. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. I walked away with a deeper understanding of elephants and their behaviors. I was really touched by seeing the bond these animals share with the caretakers and the way the caretakers feel in return may be even stronger. You can really see in every action these people are not there for a paycheck or a cool story - they are there for these animals. I was a little hesitant about visiting because I didn't want to feel like I was taking part in the exploitation of the elephants, but it did not have that vibe at all! Learning more about their history made me feel better about this. My favorite part was when they "release" them out into basically a huge playground. It was rainy the day we went but the elephants LOVED IT. They were playing in mud puddles and the younger ones were running around like puppies. Precious. You could really see their individual personalities here and the subtle ways the older ladies all work together to parent the youngins! I honestly feel so lucky to have had this experience. I did the most expensive option but it was worth every penny. If you're considering visiting--do it. It's something you'll never forget.

    We chose to take a couple granddaughters here (after their requests). It is an absolutely fantastic…read moreplace! The animals and the staff are equally amazing. The overall purpose of this place is amazing, they just want to provide a nice place for the elephants to do more than survive but to live. They never will live as long as in the wild but they will certainly live more comfortably. We got to see an elephant paint for us, the handler demonstrated how they take care of their feet and other health issues. They explained the differences between Asian and African elephants and we all got to feed carrots to them. They have cottages and tree houses that you can spend the night in and an elephant will bring you breakfast! They've added gazebo like structures to provide shade over the years making the tour and talks more comfortable in the hot summer weather. It's worth doing again.

    This is the most amazing place. I have not known the godly volunteer's an staff at Reba's very long…read morebut I am so greatful I have at least had the opportunity. I happened to stop in to the house for no real reason but to see it, because my girlfriend spoke so very highly of the place. When I walked it, it was like family that have not seen you for a very long time. So kind an so proud of their place. They could not wait to show me around an you could see the pride they have for the place, the people who are in need an stay there, an so very proud of Reba herself. An amazing young lady (high school student) started a room where they give things like wigs an scarf's an so much more to cancer patients. This right here makes me have faith in the younger people of our world. They showed me the rooms an the library oh my gosh it is just as nice as any 5 star hotel u can stay in. An so very clean. They are always willing to assist with anything they can to make your stay as comfortable as your own home. They treat you better then most of your own family members. LOL. I have truly been blessed to get to know these ladies. I know god has sent his angels to work in this place.

    From the owner: When a guest walks through Reba's Ranch House, it is because their lives have been put on hold…read more Guests often find the Reba's Ranch House through one of the hospitals located in the four counties served by the Texoma Health Foundation -others can be found sleeping in a hospital waiting room or a car. Before they begin their stay at the House, families report little sleep, few daily meals and high anxiety. After their stay 89 percent report improvements in all three categories. "We are the caregivers of the caregivers", says Marilyn Bice, the second Director of Reba's Ranch House since it first opened.
