Peaceful stay at Baines Creek Ranch

350 acres of Texas ranch heaven! Spread out in this 5/4 4,000 sq foot ranch house or hang out on the 2,000 sq foot covered porch complete with outdoor patio fireplace. The kids can escape through the wardrobe into the secret Narnia room where three levels of bunks and terraces are connected by ladders and walkways. The 7 acre pond is perfectly stocked with prize sized large mouth bass and bluegill. This is the perfect place for that weekend getaway or Central Texas reunion! This is a working ranch, so expect to see cows and ranch hands on the property.

So much fun!
It's impossible not to love Baines Creek Ranch! Such a refreshing get-away from the noise of towns and cities. There's lots to do, including just sitting and visiting on the porch. The exotic animals lend a safari-type experience that is enchanting for adults and kids alike. Definitely on our "favorite places" list!

Serene and beautiful
My family loves coming to this ranch. It’s gorgeous inside and out. The new renovations are beautiful. We love sunrise coffee in the porch looking at the pond. There’s always a nice breeze. The exotic animals are so interesting. We all get the best sleep of our lives out there and have a ton of fun. The workers on the ranch are very helpful and kind if need be but alas allow is to feel like we are the only ones there.

Second time here. The ranch is amazing and the perfect place to hang out with family. Lots of peace and quiet. The secret room to the secret room was a hit with the grandkids. Might have to make this an annual tradition.

Blessed Family Time
Our stay at Baines Creek Ranch in Groesbeck was simply delightful, as always. The blend of thrilling 4-wheeler adventures and serene moments amidst lush green pastures by tranquil waters was a perfect retreat for my family. We cherish these opportunities to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse ourselves in relaxation. Also the fish were biting exceptionally well for this visit!

Amazing getaway
Baines Creek Ranch is the place to go, whether you have a big group, big family, or just to get the ladies together or have a guys weekend! We have been out a couple of times, with mix families and for guys/gal weekends. This group was comprised of kids ages 3-17, and a mix of families. Everyone is ranting about the time they had, all ages of kids had their own unique experience and take on how fun the weekend was. From Big Buck Hunter, Pacman and Galaga, to riding four wheelers through the trails, then upstairs to rest for the afternoon watching movies and resting in the Narnia room. Kids are blown away by the Narnia room and secret room above it, even the 12-14 year olds! We cannot recommend this house enough, great hosts and relaxing getaway for a group, a great spot to unwind!

So good for the soul. Incredible place.
The ranch is amazing and peaceful. We had our extended family meet up here and there was something for everyone. Several would exercise by running the several mile trails. Others would fish. Others would walk and checkout the wildlife. I sat on the porch for hours watching the sunrise and set.

AWESOME FAMILY GETAWAY
My family and I had a great time here. Beautiful home and property. The hosts were great, amenities awesome. My family and I totally unplugged and just enjoyed one another. There are no clocks anywhere and I didn't notice til it was time to leave, that kinda tells you all you need to know. I wish there was another star to give

Family vacation
We had a great time! Communication with the owner was very easy and concerns addressed quickly. Also Randy Franklin, the ranch manager, was very helpful and greatly appreciated. Our only concern was cleanliness of some counter tops and floors. We could easily take care of that concern but thought you would want to know. Thanks again for everything!

Remote Paradise
The property was truly a piece of paradise for our two families of 11. Super quiet - I think we saw 2 cars in 3 days. The property is very well maintained and the grass was mowed so there was plenty of space to run and play for the kids. We borrowed the hammocks and took naps between the trees. We built a fire on the patio and enjoyed the quiet evening. The 4-wheeler was so much fun to tour the property and explore the trails. The Narnia room was a HUGE hit with the kids and they spent hours playing and reading together. Plenty of space for our two large families and all the amenities you could ask for in a get-a-way weekend. We truly had a wonderful time and would definitely go back again and hope to soon. If you are looking for a quiet, spacious, and relaxing weekend away, this is the spot.

Family Vacation
We had a group of 11 from aged 4 to 65. Everyone had a great time fishing off the dock and fishing off the platform. It was so peaceful to sit out on the swing under the trees or sit on the porch and watch the sunset. A few of us just sat on the porch and read a book while the others were fishing. We had a great time playing games and the kids bedroom was so awesome. There was an inflatable pool the kids enjoyed. Great place to spend time together and reconnect.

Fantastic House in the Country
Gathered the family from all over the state for a long weekend at Baines Creek Ranch. The house is even better than the pictures indicate. Plenty of large spaces for everyone to gather, as well as several great spaces for a little bit of alone time. Exceptionally well stocked kitchen with plenty of room for multiple cooks. Even though it was a pretty rainy weekend we spent plenty of time on the covered, wrap-around porch playing games and grilling in the evening. Laurel was a great host. Readily available to answer any questions and help when and if needed. We're looking forward to a return visit.

This home was wonderful. We only had 6 adults, so it felt huge. Could definitely accommodate a larger gathering. . . and what a fun place to gather! We enjoyed driving around the property on their Mule and listening to the frogs at night. Laurel (owner) was ever so kind and helpful :)
