“I was looking for a rental that was unique and our cabin stay at Artemis Ranch was our best stay in Texas! From the moment you drive in, you’re transported to an African safari. The ranch is massive. We took a 2 hour tour and got to see many exotic animals roaming around free. My boys were in awe of the zebras, the rino and the giraffes, who they got to feed. The cabin was equipped with everything you need including a pool, hot tub and fire pit for snores. My personal favorite was the many little personal touches to make your stay feel special like snacks for the kids and breakfast items. We received VIP hospitality from Ty and Bill which elevated our stay. My sons want to go back for summer break since we didn’t have time to fish. If you’re looking for a unique experience full of excitement, stay here. You’ll have a hard time deciding which activity to do because there is so much and they are all so much fun!”

“The Melissa Barn was the perfect choice for our wedding day. From our first conversation through the final moment, the team communicated clearly and responded to every question we had. They coordinated all the details with precision and were always there when we needed support. The venue itself is stunning, and we loved having separate spaces for the bride and groomsmen to get ready in both areas were spotless and comfortable. We also appreciated that decorations and chairs/tables were included, which saved us time and money.
