Horrible Stay
DISLIKED: Mattress is not fit for any human or animal. It was sunken in the middle and squeaked like mad. We could not get even one minute of sleep and were miserable. The love seat (they don't have a couch) in the living room is tiny and uncomfortable for adults. The TV is tiny and there is no reception, cable or satellite so only one channel comes in. My breakfast had 1/2 of an eggshell in it which was blue and ruined my meal. The next breakfast was loaded with diced onions and bacon -- which I don't eat and we were never asked what ingredients we can and cannot have so the eggs were wasted. There were beetles everywhere at night flying into the doors and windows. The kitchen was from the 1950s and did not have paper towels, cling film, or tin foil. There were also no tissues in the Daisy Cottage. The cottage was not private since it was next to another one. There were tons of sharp stickers all over the property which is not dog-friendly. LIKED: The views are lovely. There are donkeys, a friendly Doberman, Texas longhorns, horses and chickens. The ranch is about 10 miles from Bastrop which is where everything is so it's convenient.

Disappointing
The first thing you need to know is that there are very few pine trees, except for the little ones that have been planted in the last few years. I was looking forward to walking on a soft, cool bed of pine needles while breathing in the fresh scent of the trees.
Second, the cabins are not for antique lovers. If you are into rustic, they are fine. However, ours (Michelle's) was small. The double bed is upstairs and I (5/11") could not move nor stand up without hitting some part of my buddy.
The cabin could use some condiments. No butter, black pepper or much of anything except salt.
The trails were not well marked; we never even knew about them. And, yes, the vicious stickers called "goatheads" are common.
The best feature is the star gazing (no nearby lights) but it was interrupted (even on a chilly night) by mosquitoes. That is easily cured: visit the bait shop and then release two or more minnows or small goldfish into each trough or pond.
A little fix-up, including paint, would help.
