Real County Holiday Rentals

"We had an incredible stay at YO Ranch—truly a one-of-a-kind experience that exceeded all expectations. What stood out the most was the hospitality. The staff made us feel less like guests and more like we were visiting family. Llisa, the front desk manager, personally gave us a tour and welcomed us in such a warm and genuine way—it really set the tone for the entire stay. Our cabin was beautiful and full of character, with a rich sense of history that made the experience feel even more special. The property itself is amazing—we were able to see exotic wildlife up close, including zebras and even a giraffe, which was unforgettable for the whole family. The pool area was fantastic—super relaxing—and in the evening they lit a fire and had s’mores, which was a perfect touch. The food at the Chuck Wagon was excellent and gave us a true ranch-style dining experience. Chef Luis was outstanding—not only was the food great, but he shared fascinating stories about the ranch’s 100+ year history that made the experience even more meaningful. We also loved exploring the property. Taking a UTV out on the trails allowed us to see even more wildlife—ostriches, buffalo, wildebeest, rams, elk, deer, and more. It really felt like an adventure every time we went out. One of the most memorable moments was the sunset by the tipis—it was absolutely jaw-dropping and something we’ll never forget. We will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family to share this amazing place."

"We stayed at Wendy’s cabin with our 8 year old granddaughter and had a great time. We really loved the cabin. The sofas and recliner were very comfortable. Our granddaughter loved the humming birds, there were too many to count. Loved sitting on the front porch drinking coffee on the cool mornings. It was so quiet and peaceful at night. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very dark at night which was perfect for a great night sleep. Wendy is a great host and very responsive to all your texts. She made it a great stay for my wife and I for our 46th anniversary. And of course our granddaughter loved exploring outside, rock hunting and loved being swarmed by the humming birds. Thank you Wendy for sharing your Hideaway with us. Look forward to coming back. "

"Cute little cabin!"

"The house was clean and in good order. The houses are more like cabins in nature versus what one would find in connection with a weekend VRBO. The kitchen was equipped. There is no washer or dryer on property. The bedrooms were clean and spacious in both houses. The fire pit, children’s play equipment and grill area were a great bonus. River entry is good for younger families or those who have no difficulty with three levels of steps. The host’s instructions were clear and concise. The house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to Garner State Park and Lost Maples State Park. The stars at night were beautiful. The mornings were crisp, cool, and the river so very clear. We enjoyed our stay! "

"Check in was quick and easy. Quick responses to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend staying here. "

"Great cabin; very comfortable, and close to Garner State Park and restaurants. Host was very pleasant, and met his Dad at the cabin and he was so very helpful and really nice. I would definitely go back and stay again. Thanks much!"

" The kitchen was fuilly equiped with everything I needed to cook. The ac work very well, and the inside of the cabin was clean. It was very peaceful, just what i wanted. I am sure it gets busy in the summer time, but i chose the right time to make this trip. There was a fire ring outside the cabin as well as a a BQQ grill. The frio river is just a few feet away which was really great. Be sure to bring your own bed sheets, linens, and pillows."
