We planned a late escape from the city (Houston) for NYE. Doug’s ranch was the perfect choice for us (my parents, my sister and myself). It was quiet, clean, spacious and full of character. We had a minor issue with the water related to the recent freeze (not Doug’s fault), but he made sure it was fixed by the time we came back from dinner - on a holiday weekend! Both Doug and his property manager were very helpful and considerate.
The cabin to the side was very charming - and unique to similar properties we have stayed at. It looks over the creek in the back and there is a deck in the back to enjoy the views at night or early morning.
Keep in mind that there are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby - but nothing is within walking distance. Also, the neighborhood is perfect for biking or hiking.
Our time at the ranch was relaxing and went by fast. I will definitely consider coming back here in the future with family and/or friends.
