Cook up a hearty breakfast to start your day in the fully stocked kitchen and gather at the wraparound breakfast nook to discuss your plans - dig for topaz, explore the historic storefronts of Main Street, feast upon a schnitzel or sauerbraten while taking in the German-Texas heritage, or tour the more than 100 wineries that earned the area USA Today’s distinction as one of the top 10 wine regions in the US! There’s something for all the cowboys (and girls!)

Everything is bigger in Texas and the property is no exception. Featuring a kitchenette with polished marble countertops and a vintage-style minifridge, you might have a showdown at the OK Corral over who gets to call it their ranch. No bull!

OUTDOORS:
Move over to the comfortable corner sofa to relax and watch a movie or STEER (get it?) yourselves out to the huge backyard to share stories around the firepit or go doubles for a shucker in cornhole. Don’t forget to let loose and take a ride on the tire swing… Yeehaw!

Need a break from the herd? Have a moment on the charming front porch with a view of the meadows before you try your hand at authentic Texas BBQ and grill up a good filet or ribeye.

Each bedroom in the main house is located down the corridor, allowing for the early sleepers to rest while the rest of the group convenes in the common area.
