The hands down nicest Christmas display I've ever seen! It's a massive drive thru of beautiful lights in every seasonal incarnation imaginable. And the icing on the cake is the Santa's Village at the deepest part of the drive. It is a beautifully lit barn with the warmest atmosphere in the form of a market place. This is exactly how Christmas is supposed to feel.

Tune into 98.9 and watch the lights dance to the music. My 7 and 2 yo lo's love this drive thru. We drove through quite often with our season pass. Each night it seemed like they added more and more. Don't forget to stop off (midway through the ranch to visit Santa for a free photo in front of the giant rock fireplace! The vendor booths in Santa's Ranch had cool things and good place to find unique Christmas presents. They were festive and friendly and our favorite was the cookie and baked goods lady. Wish I could remember their name! Lots of photo ops, hot cocoa bar, s'mores making bonfire and different Christmas movies projected on the porch of the barn each time we visited. There is also a tent on Santa's ranch that sells beer and wine!

Two friends and I had the pleasure of driving through the Christmas Lights Fest at the Don Strange Ranch last evening--many thanks to Yelp for the complimentary pass!!! We're in our 70's and 80's but turn into kids when it comes to Christmas lights. The drive is about two miles with more than two million lights plus Santa's Village with free photos with Santa for the little ones. The road is well lit except towards the end so we were encouraged to turn off the car lights. We had a blast driving through tunnels of lights and past trees wrapped with strings of small lights. Then there were the "animated" displays--reindeer jumping off a ramp and floating to earth with a parachute, trains chugging along and really too many more to mention. The was even a Menorah and Dreidel that resonated with those of us of the Jewish faith. The display continues through the end of December, so there's still time for you to see this spectacle. So drive out to the ranch and let your Inner Kid experience the wonder of the season once again!

We had a phenomenal experience using Kendall Creek at Don Strange Ranch We had a phenomenal experience using Kendall Creek at Don Strange Ranch for our wedding venue. Laura and Natalie were wonderful to work with, extremely helpful, attentive to detail and accommodating. The venue is a beautiful wood barn with rustic/vintage vibes and romantic strings of lights. Our wedding package included a longhorn feeding experience that our guests enjoyed while we took photos. At night they allow sparkler send offs. Our wedding was truly magical.

This place was not worth the 30 dollars you spend to see the venue paying on line was a plus no social distances practice what so ever in Santa's land or aka barn band was rockin the Christmas music that was good just Chaos worth about 20 bucks Christmas displays were to dazzling tons of Christmas trees a few displays were wonderful we wouldn't recommend this place but it was a one time experience for us just to say we been there

Halfway there!

See all

We love this place so much. When we came for our tour we got out of the car and my husband said…read more"this is it". I felt the same way. The venue is not just a venue. Besides being undeniably beautiful, you get 2 of the sweetest/kindest people you will ever meet. Charlotte and Mike. It's clear that love and unity is their passion in life. You will not just be another couple getting married here. They love seeing you in your journey, always there to help and are eager for your wedding day just as much as you are. We felt so lucky and blessed to be able to have our wedding here. It's so peaceful here. The venue offers so many fun and cute pieces to use on your wedding day. The donut wall was it for me. All your vendors will drop their jaws when they set there eyes on this beautiful place. We are just sad that our wedding is over and our time with the venue, Charlotte and Mike are over!

I first have to start of by saying how great the owners of this venue are, Mike and Charlotte…read moreJaynes are the most sweetest, loving, and caring folks y'all will ever meet! They don't rush you or make your venue hunting feel like a mean scary business deal! They want what is best for you on your special day and will help you as much as they can by giving you much advise and ideas! They take pride and really good care of the venue and have added some new features surrounding what used to be an old chicken barn! Mike and Charlotte take DIY very seriously and have such amazing ideas with fabulous results! The trees have been there for many years and stand tall making a very unique and gorgeous outdoor scenic wedding or any other special event! They have special rooms for the bride/bridesmaids and groom/groomsman to prepare for their special day as well as a private bathroom! This place has everything you could ever imagine if you're looking for a outdoor hill country vintage or modern look, from white long benches down the isle to camp fires with s'mores surrounded by the ones you love under a big wide open starry sky!

If I could get married again, I would do it here. This was the most fun wedding venue I have ever…read moreseen. From the outside it looks a little weird. Just inside the iron gates are several patio areas and the facades of old-timey general stores and such. Inside the dance hall itself is a large dance floor, amply picnic seating (on two floors) Texas flags and sparkly celing lights and plenty of wall kitsch like posters of John Wayne. The bar is fully stocked and you can hire your own caterers. The hosts of our party had hired Bill Miller's BBQ to cater and they did a great job. The bartenders were quick and friendly and the bathrooms were clean. But the real centerpiece of awesome is the stage and stage bar. Our hosts hired a great band who kept us dancing and invited plenty of group participation, like having all the ladies take the stage and sing along to "Mustang Sally" and during "Sweet Home Alabama" they even got the bride up on the stage bar, which was then lit on fire, and had her dance on the bar and the flames danced at her feet. Seriously - Best. Wedding. Ever.

Two times now we have held an event at Nelson City Dance Hall. Always so very accommodating &…read moreperfect venue for a large group. This weekend was no exception! The food was delicious, DJ was great, dancing was amazing, and everyone left having a great time. For your next party, reception, reunion put Nelson City on the top of your list for a great venue.
