About this property

Serene Retreat at Garza’s Ranch - Ponies & Cows

  • Our cozy barn-style home (and everything on the property) was thoughtfully built from the ground up by "Garza" himself, giving your stay a truly personal and authentic ranch feel. The property sits on 4 acres, with about 1 acre for the house and 3 acres home to our cows and ponies, including mamas and their babies.

    You’ll drive through a quiet rural subdivision to arrive, but once you’re here, the space feels peaceful, private, and surrounded by open land. At the entrance, an antique truck sits on a hand-built brick platform, adding a unique rustic touch and a great photo opportunity.

    The lighted pavilion is perfect for BBQs, relaxing evenings, or small gatherings.

    Guests can also access the stable area from the porch or inside the home, where we provide feed so you can interact with and feed the cows up close—one of our guests’ favorite experiences.

    Please note this is a true ranch setting. You may encounter bugs and natural dust. We provide a bug zapper and tiki torches to help, but if you have strong allergies to dust or hay, don't forget your allergy medicine!
