Had an amazing time. Thank you Texas Ranch Life!!! #MFRMFlightSchool2016
Myriah S.

Just got back from a work retreat. Texas Ranch Life took care of us. Beautiful property and a 5 Star Chef! The homemade pies are amazing. Everything is fresh off the farm. The lodge is the home I stayed in and it was cozy and really cool. Had an amazing time. Thank you Texas Ranch Life!!! #MFRMFlightSchool2016

My husband, mother in law and I had a wonderful time here. Taunia and John are awesome! Super responsive, polite and friendly. They really made us feel at home. The ranch is beautiful and very peaceful. Safe and clean. Family friendly. Taunia made a great recommendation for dinner and live music. John was great when taking us horse back ridding. I will definitely come back.

Beautiful!! So much fun

Such a wonderful combination of amazing views, compassionate owners, cute and quaint 200 year old homes and animals all around! Our company comes here every summer for team/ self building empowerment and I couldn't even dream up a better place to do this. There is a 5 star chef with delicious meals to warm every belly. I hope I get the opportunity to visit again.

Super cute place and at one time must have been pristine. Could use a little TLC but the rustic…read morevibe and decor and covers the wear and tear. Day Spa Patrons - 3 ladies We came just for massages and wraps and were rather rushed through signing in process then whisked down to a relaxation room. While finishing up the paperwork our therapist came to get us. No time to relax. No tour of the facilities, nor shown the changing room which also contained robes which we discovered way later. It was a cooler April morning and my spa room I was put in was cold. My therapist hands were cold as well. I asked right away if she could adjust the a/c and she said no. She did go get me another blanket. The message was very good but my feet were cold the whole time. I put my swim suit on and headed to the hot tub thinking this will be great. Hot tub was not even heated yet for the day - put was on. When I asked about it they said to go to the front desk. The lady scurried to turn it on. Also the Bathrooms needed toilet paper. There were No towels by the pool. No cushions on pool lounge chairs as shown in pictures. You would think when you first open up in the morning you would have everything ready and put out. A quick tour or instructions would be nice too. For the prices we paid the attention to detail so lacked. I asked where the showers where and was told none and that only certain services included a shower. So if you want to go to a really cool place and pay 5 star prices and the little details don't care to you, then this is your place. I'm so disappointed since I wanted to take a friend there when she came to visit. My take away is that their bread and butter are the overnight guests who sign up for the detox program. It's too bad since they could have a good amount of clientele who are just looking for a nice spa.

Amenities - 3/5 Gorgeous pool/water features but it wasn't…read morealways super clean - it can be challenging in a wooded area but I just expected more; grounds were well maintained with some nice walking paths; TONS of bugs - could do a better job of spraying whatever organic stuff they way to keep those at bay especially when some yoga classes were done outside Overall very rustic - wished the rooms would have had their own hot water kettles, teas My fridge was dirty and had someone else's juice in it from whenever they were here last Thankfully AC in each room - dish satellite tv so not a great selection of channels and receiption is non existent in rain/ Internet also spotty - bring books and prepare to disconnect Decor cute but very rustic Services 4/5 The spa services were a highlight - my caution to others would be to read carefully the description - a lot are detox focused so deeper in nature and I love a firm heavy massage and I got overwhelmed a few times The general spa area was OK - I've definitely been to nicer facilities but they seemed clean and reset decently overall Classes 5/5 Classes were great - everyone who taught a class was very passionate and knowledgeable. These were included and helped to busy up the day Detox program 1/5 The detox program they do is just not for me - it included a morning proprietary detox drink with vegan protein, tea, oil blended together. It was terrible and very difficult to get down. Lunch was a liquid as well and similar except with more green stuff in it - also tasted terrible and dinner was thankfully a delicious soup. The soup was a major highlight. I will absolutely be making some on my own at home as fall approaches. The reason I rate this so low is that for the cost of this retreat there should be an option for participants to have additional whole, organic raw fruits and vegetables as small meals instead of or alongside these drinks. Complete deprecation does not work for me and it's disappointing there isn't another option available to participants. The only way I enjoyed my time was by supplementing my eating with fruit and veg I brought in from a local grocery store. I shouldn't have to supplement a reatreat experience to enjoy it. Logistics 1/5 There was just an overall lack of logistical organization during the 5 days. As someone who has worked to do logistics for events I know this either makes or breaks an experience and in this case it broke it in a lot of ways. Everyone had to get their daily schedules from the front after our class and most days, despite this being told to us as what to do at check in, the front seemed surprised we all showed up (unprepared). Schedules were hand-written and on scrap paper and for me, despite email correspondence about my schedule pre arrival, incorrect. As a result I missed one of my services (they did provide a refund) but this was a huge gap in expectations v reality. The program also advertised buying additional oils to use in your daily drinks (cbd) but this wasn't in stock so again, a huge missed opportunity. COVID related - apparently in Montgomery county where the retreat is located masks are not required. There weren't a lot of people and a lot of opportunities to maintain 6 feet distance except in spa services (no one wore a mask). This was a bit alarming overall. I would have felt better if I'd have seen some kind of screening being done for everyone at check-in (temp checks at least) to give some sense of covid caution, but there was none of this. There was hand sanitizer in one shared common space but again, it just seems like more could have been done to give people a bit more piece of mind (temp checks since masks were not being worn). Overall, I got what I wanted and needed from the experience but only because I supplemented it with what I needed. Therefore I give it a 2.5/5. It was a great space to recharge and reconnect but manage your expectations around it being a "spa resort". If you've been to 4 or 5 star facilities where the service is impeccable this will fall short.

Never been to any other nudist colony before but I can attest that this one is beautiful! The…read moregrounds are green, lush, open, gorgeous and extremely well maintained. The employees are overly-accommodating, friendly and go above and beyond to make your visit perfect. Clothing is optional so no one is passing judgement if you're more into keeping it covered. Members came in all shapes and sizes so the old adage that "these places are full of unattractive people" is totally false. The owner Larry has thought of everything when it comes to fun and accommodations. There are places for pitching tents (no pun intended), adorable cabins, permanent residencies, full RV hookups, pool, hot tub, sauna, Club Larry, play house, restaurant and a stage/pavilion. There is propane, electricity, a small store, and the front office can guide you to things to do locally. Additionally, they have weekly themes and activities. We appreciated the level of respect and limits that are demanded by the park. There was emphasis placed on keeping things to a reasonable level of fun and not letting things get dramatic or out-of-hand. Larry is certainly a straight-shooter that doesn't allow absolute insanity. We have yet to meet anyone rude, difficult or judgmental. Beautiful property! Great accommodations! Awesome bunch of folks!

Great hotel experience and amazing staff!…read more My friends were originally planning to have their wedding at the A&M botanical gardens but then it started pouring rain that morning. The staff at the Stella was so kind and allowed us to use their speakeasy bar for the ceremony and it couldn't have been more perfect! Dawn was an incredible help and coordinated everything that morning. She also made sure people didn't walk in during the ceremony. Pam was just a blessing helping do everything at the last minute like setting up the Bluetooth music, pinning the boutonnière on the groom and even fixing peoples hair unprompted. She knew exactly what we needed even when we didn't. Truly exceptional! We also stayed at the hotel and had a problem-free time. We ate breakfast at the restaurant and it was good. They also have a beautiful waterfront to sit or play in front of. Highly recommend The Stella!

One of the newer hotels here and quite the property. I did a stay here for a trio of nights in…read morelate March and I'm quite impressed with the layout, amenities, and cleanliness. Rooms are spacious and large with a comfortable bed. The bathroom is large although I found the shower a bit odd as there is no floor spacing with the shower area as there is no separation from the drain. So if you shower, have the curtain up and hope that the water doesn't accumulate. The exercise room is pretty big with complimentary towels and water bottles although the exercise machines are right in front of the windows so the sun may shine on you as you're trying to attack the treadmill. The pool area is spacious with plenty of lounge seats. There's also cornhole in the massive yard next to the lobby; a nice touch. Parking is complimentary with valet parking available. There's a few shops/restaurants nearby that you can dine at if you don't want to venture further out in the Bryan/College Station area. I'd be open to staying here again as this was one of the more impressive Marriott properties I've encountered.

Our family of four went for a 3 day vacation and we enjoyed ourselves. On the first day we had the…read morebreakfast buffet at the Harrison's and it was great. We enjoyed a day at the water park. It's not too big and not too small. My kids are older so they enjoyed the lazy river and swimming. We had drinks and got food for the kids. The drinks (smoothies and adult drinks) are great but the food was not great. We ate a local restaurant most nights because the dinner options at the resort did not sound appetizing. One the second day we ordered breakfast at Harrison's and the were very slow and hectic. I recommend the buffet which they are prepared for and the best cost. We took our kids golfing for the first time. We booked a late tee time to avoid the crowds. We enjoyed the course and carts to ourselves. We received excellent service during our entire visit. Our rooms were okay but nothing special and no special view (we paid for rooms with a view). One room faced the woods and one room faced the water park. The website showed a lake and fountain as the view. We had tons of bugs and wasps nest on the balcony so we could not sit outside. I would definitely get different room locations next time. It was a fun and relaxing family vacation that we would do again.

It was a wonderful stay! The room was gorgeous. The grounds were beautiful. Everything was clean…read more The food was good and well priced for a resort. Two complaints I have is, our room was not ready for two hours after check in time, but we were not allowed delayed checkout, which was frustrating. This delayed the amount of time we could use the amenities. The other is that the pool bar closed quite early in comparison to the pool. We wanted to order some food and a drink, but were told we would have to order to our room or visit the restaurant. Other than that it was wonderful and I highly recommend
