Ranch House
What a great place to host an event with friends. The pool was great for cooling off after golf. We never felt like we were too loud due to the location and privacy. Tons and tons of space to enjoy. Thank you!

Awesome stay
Had a great time at the dam ranch. Spent a lot of time cooking. Played games the whole time and enjoyed the view. Perfect place to getaway to from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Worst vacation ever
The description of the property was very misleading. It might be nice for a bunch of guys to stay at (small guys who fit in bunk beds) if they are here bird hunting or something. But not for family vacations. There was absolutely no mention of this being a “working ranch” until I received an email about checking in. That’s a pretty key factor when selecting a vacation spot. You have to drive to the lake, which is surrounded by cows, again a key factor. When playing in the grassy area we had to dodge cow piles. The king sized bed was hard and very uncomfortable. That’s the only bed besides 12 twin sized bunk beds. The lake seems to be a place where cows walk into with no good fishing spots. And there was only enough hot water for one shower. Overall, a very poor experience for my family. We left early, after the first night. I’ve always had excellent luck with VRBO bookings but this was an exception. I’ll definitely never book a place without reviews yet again.
