Reviews for Rancho Buenas Noches

"We stayed three nights for some fossil collecting and fishing. The home was spacious enough for two families and even more space outdoors for the kids to explore. All conveniences and food options were nearby, making this trip very easy for us to plan. Mike was incredibly helpful and responsive. Definitely recommend!" Nao (Airbnb, January 2025)

"Great place to stay! Helped me get my personal item returned which I accidentally left. Everything was great!!" Evelyn (Airbnb, August 2024)

"Michael answered all questions we had and great to visit with. He left us to enjoy our family time and the place. The river was great caught some fish and had a great time on the kayaks. Believe that the climb back from the river is a real workout." Alonzo (Airbnb, July 2024)

"Great location. Plenty of amenities. We hope to do it again. Loved it." Barbara (VRBO, June 2024)

"The place was perfect for getting out of the city and enjoying the Texas countryside, picturesque views, relaxing, and enjoying quality time with the family!" Laura (VRBO, January 2024)

"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." John (VRBO, November 2023)

"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." Kelly (VRBO, November 2023)

Reviews for The Hideout

"Very private location. If you want to be away from the city of Mineral Wells, you will with Michael's place. We hiked down to the river after hiking the state park and enjoyed the Brazos. So fun." Laurie (Airbnb, October 2024)

"Mike met us upon arrival. He was upbeat and friendly and offered helpful instructions. My brother and I were visiting the area for some hunting opportunities. We needed clean sheets and a hot shower and little else. Mike's cabin met our needs AND had the added benefit of a beautiful setting and peaceful surroundings." (Kelly, February 2024)

"Beautiful Property, kind and hospitable." Amanda (Airbnb, January 2024)

"From the moment I saw the property I knew I had to stay at The Hideout. The location of this cabin offered a quiet, uninterrupted stay for me and my husband. When you walk out the back door it feels like your in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we wanted! The hikes are gorgeous with endless big boulders covered in lichen and moss, cacti and cedar trees. A welcomed landscape coming from the city! A short trek across the pasture takes you to a prime spot on the Brazos river. The ranch owner, Mike, was kind and more than accommodating. He offers his guests a charming retreat and we are already planning a trip back." Leah (VRBO, January 2024)

"HIGHLY recommend this cute cabin if you’re looking for a cozy space for quality time. From the accommodations to the notes left to welcome us… Michael really made this cabin feel like a home away from home. Will be coming back. 🏡❤️" Hunter (VRBO, September 2023)
