Absolutely incredible weekend at Blue Hills Ranch. We were fortunate to stay in the stunning…read moreGiraffe Villa... a hefty price, but worth it if you can afford it. The Giraffe barn is attached to one side of the house, and their pasture is on the other side. It is the most fabulous "Barndominium" with incredible finishes and clearly thoughtfully designed. That experience alone was mind-blowing.... however we also had the Gold Packages and were able to experience everything the ranch had to offer! Zebras, Capybaras, Kangaroos, Otters, Deer, Homer the Dromedary!!! Everywhere you turned there were more animals and more experiences offered. My children and I were in absolute animal heaven and will be thrilled to return. I will say, our vacation was expensive and it did not disappoint. However, I do believe you can absolutely visit this ranch on a budget.... Probably one of the best experiences was their ranch safari and that is a nominal price and totally worth it! You can see the entire property and all of the animals on the safari trip. Additionally they have fantastic cabins that are themed, and if you have children under the age of 10, the pirate themed cabins are beyond your wildest imagination.... as far as I am aware all of the sleeping accommodations include kitchens so you can absolutely cook for your family instead of paying for the delicious ranch food. That said... Chef Alan is phenomenal and out of this world excellent chef. Each meal was made with love and artistry. The staff at Blue Hills Ranch all go above and beyond to create lasting memories for you. I absolutely recommend this experience as a NOT TO BE MISSED event! We are already planning a return in October/November depending on availability . Cannot wait. Looking forward to being among these amazing staff members (shout-out to Jen, Anne, Shelby, Emily, Chesney, Alan...) the guard dogs, and all of the incredible exotic animals. Thank you, Matt!

If you want an awesome lake experience you will have to drive to it and there's no sites or shopping in a area like this it's totally secluded. I would go there again

Of course we did the Fossil Rim trip and Dinosaur Valley stop while we were here. We will 100% make this an annual visit.

So, when a…read morefriend of mine told me about the cabin rentals at Rough Creek Lodge I was excited to hear about it. I had low expectations, since past experiences have been more 'rustic' than I like. We decided to take the odds on a weekend excursion to the k it out. Wow, Rough Creel Lodge is nothing like anything I've experience before. It is amazing. The exceptionally friendly attendant at the entry gate set the standard of excellence seen at every interaction throughout the weekend. The two bedroom/two bathroom cabin was luxurious, clean and very comfortable. The cosy grouping of cabins is a short distance form the main lodge giving it a secluded feel, but close to all the amenities and access to an impressive number of activities. The food was exceptional, with lots of delicious options. Every aspect of our stay far exceeded my expectations. A definite five-star-stay! Our two golden retrievers give it a solid five-paw-experience.

One of the best parts is the location -- it's an easy walk to the town square with all the fun shops and wonderful restaurants. It was an amazing getaway and a perfect anniversary vacation.

We did not have a chance to swim in the pool, but it was a beautiful area. We stayed in the big house that has several room options. It's like being in a B&B, so be prepared for some people gathering in the main areas (kitchen, dining room). They even have a bar with super cute cocktails. They do have the option to rent the other houses on property as well, which is what we want to do on our next visit. The best part of our trip, the customer service. Both the hubby and I come from customer service backgrounds so when we receive excellent service we like to share this information. They are incredible. If you are in the Granbury area, check them out! They had a really cute store onsite as well.

I took the family (loving wife and two children) for surf lessons a little bit ago. The instructor, Danny, was late to our lesson and didn't really teach our kids how to surf. Instead he spent the majority of the time drawing pictures in the sand. The majority of the other staff seemed to reek of marijuana. This caused my wife great concern since these people are supposed to be in the water keeping the guests safe and instead were impaired! The photographer was incredibly rude and unhelpful, telling us to "Go online" when we asked to purchase the photos of our children's surf session. They did have a shop dog who was cute, until he urinated on the floor. The food staff were incredibly dismissive of my wife's order. Not to mention, the food was cold. I requested a refund due to the lackluster service and experience, however, they only credit. Surf Ranch in California serves as a more desirable alternative, especially if you want a more wholistic experience.
