The Chaparral Ranch is my home away from home! I have stayed in each of the lodging options and…read moreloved my experience in them all. The cabin gives you all the space and amenities of home and is perfect for a couples' getaway or for the entire family. The bunk house brings a fun, outdoorsy vibe that is perfect for hunting trips or just hanging out with a large group. And the newest addition, the Cactus Hotel, can be a mixture of both! You have the option of renting one room at a time or the whole thing, depending on how large of a group you have. Each has its own bathroom and access to the common living area (which is super cozy and great for just hanging out- we escaped a rainstorm in here our first night!) I can't say enough nice things about The Ranch. Leah and Don are the most incredible hosts and will make sure you enjoy your time here, whatever the occasion. I'm already planning my next girls trip! Give this awesome family business a try!

The Chaparrel Ranch is great place to get away, enjoy an evening of fireside chats with family and friends or romantic evening for two. The Chaparrel Ranch has free range chickens and ducks as well as a pen of goats. You may also encounter the steer that roam the surrounding pastures. Wildlife such as, deer, hawks, road runners, and quail abound the ranch. I have never seen such a big beautiful star filled night sky! Leah- thank you for an unforgettable experience.

We enjoy being there at Wild Duck Marina. We always rant and rave positively about the service…read morethat Wild Duck Marina provides. The friendliness of the staff, cleanliness/upkeep of the marina, the privacy of marina, timeliness of staff/marina when we have a request and the overall service that Wild Duck provides allows us to say without hesitation that Wild Duck Marina is by far one of the best, if not the best marina on Lake Brownwood. 10 out of 10

Took the payment out of my bank account and that was that. Showed up with my black father and mixed brother to get the boat and the blonde lady at the counter didn't even say anything to me. I had to speak to her and told her nicely we were there to rent a boat. She then said in a rude manner looking at me up and down "a boat from who?" I told her we were rented it from Wild duck marina, are we at the right place? She said "we don't have a boat for you, one second" another lady walked up to the counter, and said the same thing. I told her too that we paid in advance. She said they rented the boat out to some guys this morning and that If SHE had been there herself that morning, she wouldn't have let the bleach blonde girl rent it out to them. I said so it's drive able because you already rented it out? She said yes it's drive able but I don't have a boat available until 8pm when we close. I told her we can take the one that's already broken because they already told us the top was taken off and we had $50 taken off of the full fee already, and we don't mind another broken part as long as it drives properly. She proceeded to say she just didn't have a boat for us and that they had no record of us calling in or depositing money. Meanwhile the boat that was supposed to be ours is sitting in the dock unoccupied!! We told her to give us our money back and they wouldn't even offer us to use it Monday when i mentioned it. My mother who is from Brownwood, called in and got the run around with slightly different time lines from the lady and told them she didn't believe them. She told them we were planning to take the boat out to see some friends in the area. But the second my mother dropped some names of friends and well known people in brownwood, everything changed. The lady tried to the then accommodate and offer Monday for the boat HALF OFF once she heard the names of the people we knew. Had my white mother been there with my black father, myself and my mixed brother this issue probably wouldn't have happened at all! We don't throw the word racism around ever but this was a perfect example of RACISM!!! We will be sharing with all social media and never giving o business to WILD DUCK MARINA AGAIN!
