    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!!!!

    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!

    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!

    The ranch is way out in the countryside & an adventure to get there for townies like us. We opted to rent an SUV to travel along the several miles of dirt roads that lead to the ranch but our hosts manage very well in a VW Passat. We stayed 2 nights in Gingersnap with a grazing tray on our first night - more than enough for both of us. Breakfast was substantial and very tasty, served in the main house with a fabulous view. Rollie & Steve were excellent hosts and made us feel at home right from the start. Our restricted diet was no problem. The room was comfortable & very well appointed. We enjoyed hiking the walking trails & never left the ranch.
