Weekend Trip to Golden Curls Ranch

I'm grateful that Angela and her family opened up their place to us. We had an amazing time just relaxing on the farm, watching the animals, and enjoying nature. The horse ride was great and it was awesome to learn about the specific breed that Angela has there. She's caring and passionate about what she does and it made the experience that much more incredible. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Sojourn Lodge

Just what we needed for a weekend getaway in the woods. Love the area of east Texas and the acreage is awesome to explore on utv or walking. We explored quite a bit and walked the creek a long ways south with the pups. The falls were pretty and relaxing to sit and listen to. Susan and Mark were responsive and provided everything you could think of. I hope we come back one day! Beds were comfy too!

Weekend Trip to Golden Curls Ranch

Convenient location with farm animals and horses, the host is flexible and friendly, she walked with us and showed the property. It was freezing and raining during our booking period and it’s hard to stay indoors in the small space, we wish climate was better
