Trickle Creek Ranch

Trickle Creek Ranch was once a dairy, we purchased it 15 years ago and it has become a hobby ranch. We are also collector's of vintage RV's and currently have a 1952 Spartanette and 1968 Chinook on the property. There are miniature horses and longhorn cattle that roam the 12 acres. We have added RV spaces to share the ranch experience with others.

The old calving barn has a cabin renovation on it that looks amazing

Copper Can with full-size deck on top situated in wooded pasture

Copper Can

Lake Ray Roberts was still filling up.  There were hardly any large horse farms surrounding us when we moved from Dallas to get away from the cement jungle to enjoy our little slice of heaven.  Slowly, unfortunately, ever so surely, the big fancy horse farms and city people with bulldozers became our neighbors.  As all the surrounding properties lost its trees to make room for big houses with big gates out front we hung on tight to our little seven wooded acres which had become refuge for the wildlife being pushed off the property they once called home.  Until Lynn became disabled the red A-frame Cabin was used as her office and we converted the barn into our house which is behind the privacy fence from the Cabin.  Shortly before January 1, 2016 one of our backdoor neighbors who is a professional fisherman said: "I guarantee it, if you will rent that Cabin out to fisherman it will stay booked solid."  So, we set out to become the best kept secret in the fishing world - the best place for fishermen to stay.  Just like those fishing holes that you don't want anyone else to find out about, sure enough word spread and the secret was out.  The fisherman that had stayed while fishing tournaments told their friends and family about the Cabin and before long we had families staying for vacations, bachelorettes having parties, parents throwing birthday parties for their kids, girl's night out, anniversaries, after prom parties, romantic getaways, executive travelers, extended stays, and yes, still those fisherman.  In 2018 we added the Copper Can for couples only and the occasional additional friends wanting to throw up a tent outside or sleep on the daybeds located on the top deck of the Copper Can.  Now, we have guests booking their stay a year in advance just to make sure they get to stay on the date they desire.Considered the poor stepchild of the area, no advertisement out front, no big fancy gate, if you aren't looking for us you'll never find us.  Isn't it time you came home to your little red Cabin and its sidekick the Copper Can where memories are made?  See you soon whatever the case may be.  Let us spoil you.  We'll make it ready just for you and yours.  Learn more about this land:Luxury in the middle of a wooded pasture on seven acres two miles from Isle du Bois State Park at Lake Ray Roberts.  Space to pitch a tent, plenty of parking for a boat, full size deck on top with daybeds, and luxury inside the 53' Copper Can with full-size modern kitchen, rain shower and Japanese soaker tub, washer/dryer combo, 10' sofa in front of ethanol burning fireplace and wall-mounted HDTV, vibrating adjustable queen-size bed, live edge black walnut bench and table for dining, Chandelier that projects shadows throughout as if you're in a mystical forest.  Front porch, Fire pit, charcoal BBQ grill and outdoor furniture for your exceptional experience.

4R Ranch Winery Campsite

Where the short-grass prairie drops into the Red River Valley, the 4R Ranch—with its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suited for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow our pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

Pasture Paradise

Learn more about this land:Working farm with quite wide open prairie land. Outdoor adventure and water sports abound at nearby Lake Ray Roberts. Quaint little downtown Sanger with restaurants is just a stone’s throw away. Enjoy a wine tasting at nearby Firelight Vineyards.
