Overall it was great. The animals made it a 5 star. The house could definitely use some updating. Felt like the floor in the MBR was going to fall through.

We enjoyed our stay. My 8 year old animal lover keeps asking when we can go back. Highlights were bottle feeding the baby goats and sheep, riding the ponies and horses, golf cart rides, feeding the animals, and getting up close to the animals.

Not for us
We all felt unsafe. The property was a mess and the animals looked malnourished. There was a dead duck at the pond. The deer was super creepy. The dirty dogs went in the house, and they could not get them out. It looked like the people just left the house for you to stay in. The poor zonkey was tied to walker and looked like he had been there a long time all matted up. The people are super friendly but not exactly what we expected. It will be an expensive experience we will never forget. We second guess when we book VRBO now.

Amazing Texan Ranch experience
Awesome ranch with dogs, cattle, longhorn, horses, ponies, donkeys, peacocks, deer, birds, emu etc. and a baby kangaroo as well. There are more than 350 birds and animals. Animal lovers will adore this place. We went in December for 2 nights with family and friends. VRBO was great with booking experience. Some glitches with itinerary updates and chats. It was slow. Everyone had tons of fun at the ranch and house. Plan to take food or groceries if you don’t want to drive out again. Although, Centerville(city nearby) has got all that you would need. Check in is 4 pm, so try to reach earlier (especially in winter) to make use of the daylight.Susan the host, Ethan the guide and Cowboy are great. They are very humble and their hospitality was amazing. Susan got a taste of Indian ginger tea which my friend and his wife are experts. House is maintained well with all the amenities. Mornings are greeted by birds and deer which come near the house.. Myriad of activities feed rides, paddle boating, horseback riding, skeet shooting, miniature pony rides. These are charged as guide, animals and equipment are involved. Fishing (catch and release)can be done at leisure. You need to bring your own gear. The four big mountain dogs need special mention. They protect the ranch and the people inside. We have never seen such friendly dogs. Kids got immediately attached. Evening lights and sun are feat to the eyes. Nights are soothing with mesmerizing view of stars. We used the fire pit where kids made s’mores. We left in morning with a heavy heart and felt we could do more, spend more time the ranch. Since then, Once every few days we remember and discuss the activities and fun we had. We will be going back for sure sometime. Unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience
What a wonderful experience. We had 4 adults and 4 children (ages 10,14,14,16) and stayed in the Ranch house. The Ranch House sleeps 6 comfortably so we did have to use a pull out couch, kids didn’t seem to mind. The property is wonderful. We woke up every day with deer, emu, goats and pigs walking around the porch waiting to say good morning. We rented golf carts to easily enjoy the animals and property. The amazing Ethan and Rowdy set up skeet shooting for us, Randy took us on a horse back ride through the whole property. We fished in the pond and took advantage of the row boat, kayaks and paddleboat. The sweet Crystal was available anytime to help us with anything we needed. We even had the pleasure of sitting with Sue and chatting one afternoon on the porch. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Feeding all the amazing animals was a huge hit! Where else do zebra, Buffalo, cows, deer, emu’s, goats, ducks, chickens, mini horses, ponies etc walk right up to you and eat out of your hand. They were all so gentle and loving. The fact that the kids ages 10-16 all had a blast says a lot. Moody teens can be hard to entertain, but they loved riding around the property and hanging with the animals. We were blown away by Ethan! Ethan is a teen himself and works the property and was so helpful. Our kids enjoyed learning from him and even helping out with his tasks for the day. Centerville is right up the road with plenty of restaurants to pick from. Madisonville is also near by with more restaurants and a Walmart. We highly recommend this ranch. This is definitely a trip none of us will forget. Thank you to Sue, Rowdy, Crystal, Randy and Ethan. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Summer Wrap Up Vacation
We could not have enjoyed a few days away more. The house was beautiful and had everything we could need. Being able to get outside and enjoy all this property had to offer. Our boys loved being able to be up close and personal with all the animals. Making memories made this a perfect stay. We appreciated the hospitality of Crystal and Sue. Ethan was such a kind young man sharing his knowledge on the feed and horseback riding. We will definitely be returning in the future for more memories.

Awesome property!
We loved our stay! My primary reason for booking this property was for fishing in the stocked lake and we were not disappointed. We caught bass, catfish, and tons of perch -- didn't matter what time of day we went fishing, we always caught something. All of the animals were an added bonus, including the friendly dogs that made themselves at home on the porch. The morning feed ride is a must to get up close to all of the animals. Skeet shooting was a new experience -- we sucked, but at least we tried. Randy is full of entertaining tales during the horseback riding. The Ranch house is as promised in the listing and had everything you would need for your stay. I highly recommend this property and will definitely go back.

This trip was a great memory maker for my daughter's 12th birthday. Loved the ranch house, all the animals, horseback riding (including Randy's tales), paddle boating and boarding in the lake, and the feed trip.

We had a fantastic experience at the Ranch House. We were greeted by 3 dogs, several tame deer, a friendly goat, and two emu. Every morning, these animals and others were in our front yard ready for cracked corn and attention. At night, the goat came to roast marshmallows with us. Our kids learned all the animals names. Crystal met our every need and Randy helped my city kids feel comfortable on their horses/ponies. We love this place. You won't be disappointed.

This was our second stay and we will keep coming back. This place is amazing! We love spending our days with the animals. There is always something fun to do, whether it is petting animals, brushing them, going for a long walk, or using the paddle boat on the lake. Crystal is wonderful. She really makes the stay extra special. The house is fantastic. Everything that we can possibly need. The WiFi was upgraded and works extremely well.

Great Get-Away to the Farm
We had a wonderful time at the farm and the accommodations were great - everything we needed! We were greeted by a grown pet deer and "flashy" the shetland pony who is as sweet and tame as a dog. Also to greet us were four pyreneese dogs. There are so many tame animals there to see and they will follow you around the property - dogs, two zebras, fallow and regular deer, a burro, baby pig, sheep, goats, horses, a longhorn cow, a buffalo, a huge Brahman bull who is the sweetest ever, ducks, geese, a swan, chickens, peacocks, guineas, a "zetland" which is a cross between a zebra and a shetland pony. I brought home so many pictures and fond memories. Must thank the owners, Sue and Rowdy for their hospitality and help, Crystal who lives on the property and ready to help you at any time, and thanks to Randy (ranch hand with so much knowledge) for taking us out with him to feed the animals in the morning. I highly recommend the Rock'n Rowdy Ranch as a fun place for the entire family. You and your kiddos with love being able to get up and close to all the animals and I know you will have a great time.
