    A perfect retreat for couples or individuals

    March 19, 2013

    Rollie and Steve have worked hard to make this an absolute haven for both couples and individuals like me seeking refuge and relaxation in the Hill Country. My recent stay was for a personal retreat, and Rollie made sure each day that I was happy and cared for. My stay in the Lily Peaches cabin (whose name isn't so dorky when you meet its namesake, the ranch cat) was upscale comfortable with welcoming snacks, beer, wine, water, fireplace, lush towels and linens, robes, and an amazing porch that looks out onto the evening sunset. Although my stay was in March and I needed no AC or heat, it was available. The drive is not for an expensive sports car, you are driving on caliche roads for 20-25 minutes to get in and out of the ranch, but that is what makes it such wonderful secluded getaway. The walking trails on the property were great for me, and the Hill Country State Park is just a few miles away. I will be back again and again for this wonderful retreat and Rollie's hospitality and amazing breakfasts. Get her cookbook too!

    Perfect Get Away

    October 28, 2012

    My husband and visited Stoney Ridge Ranch for our 28th anniversary in October and we fell in love with the place. We made it our base and spent time hiking, seeing the other towns in the area and just enjoying each others company. Rollie and Steve are warm and friendly people who will hang out and talk or give you your privacy as you prefer. Breakfast was everything that we expected, our room was beautiful and the special anniversary basket was full of tasty goodies. I loved the hummingbirds that were everywhere and took many photo's of the tiny birds as they squabbled and fussed over the best perch. We have said many times since getting home, " I wish we were on the ridge". The only thing that I would have changed is the weather, a little cooler would have been nice but in Texas it's hard to tell what you will have on any given day.

    Didn't want to leave....

    July 06, 2012

    Our only regret about our stay at Stony Ridge was our booking of only two nights! Rollie + Steve treated us less like B+B guests and more like good friends who came to stay at their amazing place in the hill country for the weekend. Between the gourmet breakfasts, the wine & cheese, and the surrounding beauty, both natural and architectural, we seriously did not want to leave. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful place with Rollie + Steve - our wonderful hosts!

    A perfect retreat from the world!!!

    January 08, 2012

    Winding mountain roads take you to the top with great vistas all around. The cabin was adorable and fuctional and the fireplace was a special treat. Rollie and Steve were very warm and welcoming to their little Oasis in the Hill Country. The breakfast Rollie prepared was soooooo tasty and colorful. Be sure and capture a least one sunset while you are there.... If you want to get away from it all....this is your place!!! The silence is amazing!!!!

    A breath of fresh air!

    November 06, 2011

    Wow, where to start! From the moment we arrived for a 2 day anniversary retreat, we were immediately greeted by Rollie and the amazing aroma from her kitchen; freshly baked cookies! It turned out these were the same cookies in the cookie jar in our room, the Hill Country Log Home! The room was impeccably decorated and so comfortable. Rollie and Steve were absolutely delightful and made us feel so welcome. They educated us on the beautiful deer they are raising on the ranch and introduced us to their precious little dog, Ginger, who couldn't have been sweeter. The breakfasts were outstanding and Rollie graciously passed on to us a few of her culinary secrets in cooking, presentation, etc. We are eagerly awaiting her cookbook! Breakfasts started promptly at 9. We leisurely savored our meals and still had plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day. You don't need to bring an agenda with you because Rollie has so many ideas for you on the ranch and in the surrounding area. There are opportunities to be active in the outdoors or just relax. We look forward to coming back there very soon. Thank you Rollie and Steve for a wonderful experience!

    The best kept secret in Texas

    March 23, 2011

    We were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary and looking for a getaway. This was amazing!!! From the warm reception with dinner waiting when we arrived to an amazing breakfast each morning. Rollie and Steve know how to pamper and make you feel special. Rollie is an extroadinary cook and every meal was excellent. I would recommend having Rollie cook all your meals and just stay on the property the whole time. We also went horseback riding and had a facial and massage. I feel like we visited heaven on earth for two days. We were truly blessed and I know you will be too!
