Rancho Buenas Noches--Heaven on the Brazos River, just 90 minutes from Dallas

Spend a weekend or more on a cliff high above the Brazos River in the North Texas Hill Country of Palo Pinto County. A stone stairway cuts through giant boulders down to the river and several fishing spots, plus kayak and canoe launch points. Enjoy a large barbecue grill (charcoal) and views of the sunset and river from a covered pavilion. There is a heated pool (heated March to October) and hot tub that overlooks the river, amongst ancient live oaks and a regulation horseshoe pit. For the adventurous, there's also a primitive cabin (no power, no plumbing). Just 90 minutes from North Dallas and less than an hour to Fort Worth, yet you will feel you are a thousand miles away. Welcome to the Brazos de Dios.

Inside, (if you ever come in from the views) you will find one full-size, one queen and four bunk beds, plus a sleeper sofa (sleeps one, maybe two little ones) in the family room. In the family room, you will find a pool table and fireplace. Ideally, this place is for two couples and kids. Maximum 8. It is not ideal for packing in 8 grown men to save money. Do that and you'll be way more cozy and way less comfy than you may like, plus we're on a septic system that's not made for that. . Just sayin'.

Full disclosure: cell coverage can be spotty inside the house but outside it's fine. I do not provide Wi-Fi. Wireless hotspots are recommended for internet access and generally work quite well.

Quiet Retreat on the River
Beautiful setting on the Brazos - literally unbeatable views. Very quiet. We had such a relaxing time reading books and sitting on the patio overlook. Only a few minutes to Mineral Wells and 20 minutes to Mary's in Strawn for one of the most famous chicken fried steaks around... but once you get out to this peaceful place, you won't want to leave it, even for a quick supper. On top of everything, the host was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing views - perfect place to relax & unwind
Before arriving I knew what to expect as the host provided accurate information on the listing AND he was extremely responsive to my questions. The home is off-the-beaten path and SO worth the drive. We were greeted by the host who was on-site when we arrived. Super friendly guy. We were in town for a baseball tournament at Rocker B Ranch about 25 minutes away, and were tired from a late game - so we were grateful for the Sleep Number beds in both rooms (without bunk beds). We found the home to have everything we needed for a comfortable stay - and had I looked a little harder, before my WalMart run the next day - I wouldn’t have had to purchase some of the stuff I did - as it was already there!! Outside - you’ll find no view like it. God’s paintbrush didn’t disappoint with the sunset off the covered back patio where we grilled burgers and roasted s’mores in the fire pit while overlooking the Brazos River below. The paved steps (that became easier every time I climbed up them) going down to the water were met by kayaks and a canoe. Had we had time, I know we would have done those activities! Too bad we didn’t bring our fishing poles - we saw some great honey holes! I’ll come back just to drop a line in one. And the kids LOVED the hot tub and cold pool! When they weren’t swimming, they played horse shoes, pet the paint horse who came up to the fence, played whiffle ball, and cleared the property of snipes. We all had so much fun relaxing at this beautiful property.

Nice getaway
We had a great time being off the grid. We enjoyed the canoes and hot tub during our fall visit. Mark was super helpful and welcoming. My only disappointment was that I was the dishwasher for the weekend. 😂 We used the kitchen. We forgot butter and there was no cooking spray so make sure you bring some. Otherwise it had everything we needed to cook at the cabin.

We have enjoyed many stays in vacation rentals over the last decade+ and Rancho Buenas Noches beats them all! A perfect river retreat! Host was top notch and a really nice guy. We plan to return very soon. Rancho Buenas Noches is a true Texas experience -- don't miss it!

End of Summer Vacation
My family and I had a great time! The house was clean and organized. The historical information throughout the house, both from Texas and Mr. Renfro's family makes the stay interesting. The highlight of our trip was the pool, access to the river was much more than we expected! The kids enjoyed the end of their summer vacation.

Base Camp on the Brazos
Our stay coincided with the hottest week so far in Texas. Mike, the owner, was super friendly and helpful. The views were great, accommodations nice, and pool was refreshing. This was a great location to base out of while we explored the surrounding areas (Possum Kingdom, Mineral Wells, etc).

The pool is a wonderful asset to the property! Very roomy cabin and was in good working order! Teenagers had issues with no Wi-Fi and spotty phone reception but the adults thought it was good for them ! Wonderful view of the Brazos especially at sunset !

Redneck Aruba (our nickname for our vacation)
We loved our stay. The views were beautiful. The pool was amazing. We came during the hottest week so far of the year and didn't even know we were in a heat wave. The trees cover the pool perfectly to give you some shade. We had hoped to kayak but decided the entrance to the river was a little steep for us since two of us had recent knee surgeries.
