Never have I ever stayed at such a wonderfully hosted location and this was probably our 20th VRBO since Covid. Really the trip began before we even got there Karen reached out to make sure we had everything we needed for our 1 year old, and she purchased a high chair in advance of us arriving. She met us at the gate and showed us all the details we would need for our time at the ranch. We drove up to the cutest cottage with a fun and whimsical yard, and a fantastic porch. Once we got inside there were fresh cookies and a sign welcoming us 😊 The cottage has everything you could possibly need or think up needing. All 7 of us slept very comfortably on high quality mattresses. There were games for all ages, indoor games, cornhole, ladder all and more. The cottage is very spacious and has the most well stocked kitchen I have ever seen. We roasted marshmallows by the fire pit, and Mr John even had firewood and starter ready for us. The stars were beautiful and after feeding the deer we watched the sky. It’s so peaceful and bright, you can see the Milky Way. We booked 3 nights thinking this would be a place to sleep after spending the days at Colorado bend - but really I wish I had booked a few more nights just to stay at the ranch. The private river access - the cliffs and trees were so lovely reflecting off the water and we even got to paddle boat in the river. It was hard to leave! It felt more like staying with family than a rental. ##### Haley S. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris S.

The location was cozy, clean, and well kept and the property is beautiful. The owners were the best you could ask for. Not only were they kind and friendly, but they identified that we were there for my dad's birthday and set the space for us to celebrate. I wholeheartedly recommend if you need a place to go clear your mind and want a view of the beauty of nature as well. ##### Jeremy S.

My old friends and I really enjoyed our get together at Redbird Landing. We took morning and evening walks on the property to enjoy the wildlife, shared good chats and laughter on the covered patio for coffee-time and evening rainfall, cooked several delicious meals in the well appointed kitchen, and were able to take quick trips for shopping in San Saba, hiking in Colorado Bend State Park, and sipping and dining at Fiesta Winery. Our hosts were wonderful, so thoughtful, and the caravan was perfect for our happy visit- highly recommend, and hope to return. ##### Laura C.

There were so many little "extras", we truly felt pampered. The animals on the property were amazing. We fed deer from the back yard, observed several species of deer while on hikes, heard wild turkey, and saw many beautiful birds. The photos on the description are accurate. Every morning we got up early, took our coffee on the porch and photographed wildlife. The property was very well maintained, the home was very clean and I highly recommend! ##### Kathy R.

The attention to details, the thoughtful comfort items and welcoming personalities are exactly what stood out verses just a place to stay. We loved learning the history of the land, Karen brought down homemade goodies that we eagerly devoured! John brought over extra charcoal and made sure we had everything we needed. The property was top notch, but John and Karen were the real jewel of our stay. Can’t wait to go back! I hope the young folks in my family will be just like the Sloan family when they grow up. Thank you for being you KAren and John!!! ##### Eric W. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandy M.

It was peaceful, quiet and the animals were so much fun to watch graze. We walked down to the river and saw all sorts of animals, including a huge jack rabbit who seemed to really love munching on the cacti and grass. The fields were full of gorgeous wildflowers. We ventured to Colorado Bend State Park and hiked to see Gorman Falls, it was absolutely beautiful! It was a very rocky hike, but very rewarding. The night sky is stunning! You could see every star in the sky. We highly recommend staying here as Karen and her husband are so friendly! We will definitely come back. ##### Brandy M.

What can I say except that this property is amazing and the only thing better than the property it self is the host (John & Karen). If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing place where God's beauty of creation is on display this is it. This property offers a ton of fun as well, from watching exotics, to birds, jackrabbits, fishing the river, and late night stargazing and just letting the kids explore and have a blast, we did it all. House is stocked up with everything you need, and the host are amazing and if you need it they will help you get it to make your stay more enjoyable. Colorado Bend SP is close by and worth a day trip and Lampasas is a cool spot to check out as well. If you want to just hang at the ranch that is worth it as well. We would come back just to see John and Karen again, but the property is definitely worth a return trip. 10 out of 10! ##### joshua b.

John and Karen are the nicest, most considerate hosts we have ever encountered when renting a home. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable experience, especially for our three-year-old. They provided snacks, including homemade cookies, and the house was very well-stocked with anything you could need. They also provided food so that we could feed the various types of deer on the property. Shortly after we had arrived, we learned that John had brought by a turtle which my son then named Pickle (a real highlight for my son!), and the next day John took us around on his “tractor” which was also a lot of fun. If the amazing hosts weren’t enough, the property is incredible and teeming with wildlife. At this time of year there were also beautiful wildflowers everywhere. We walked around several times, including to the river (next time we will bring our canoe!), but it was also nice to just relax in the backyard. This really is a special place! I am probably forgetting a lot of stuff, but I will say if you are considering booking this place (or Andi’s Cabin next door), then do it! You won’t regret it! ##### Brittany W.
