My husband and I had the best experience getting married at Prairie Chapel Place. We hosted our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception on site, and every part of the weekend went seamlessly thanks to the owners’ help throughout the planning process and the on-site venue coordinator. Communication was great over the many months leading up to our wedding. The bridal party stayed overnight at the cottage and got ready there the next morning. It was a beautiful celebration, and we received so many compliments from friends and family about the venue. We highly recommend Prairie Chapel Place! Photos by Maddysin Green Photo

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!
