Great Weekend

We stayed for the weekend to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. Went on tours at Garrison Distillery and 5 different wine tastings in the Hye- Fredericksburg corridor. Also great dinners in Fredericksburg. Enjoyed evening and mornings at the Lodge watching the abundant trophy white-tail deer and baby fawns that this ranch is famous for. You will love staying here. I highly recommend it.

Peace and Quiet

They went out of their way to make us comfortable and I am so thankful to have been able to spend our 25th anniversary at your beautiful property. I was so thankful to be able to get to meet the young lady and man that cares for the property. They are the heart of the place. I wish we could have been able to see more of the property and been able to fish but was super thankful to be able to bottle feed one of the babies. Thank you again and I pray blessings and protection over the owners, and staff of the property.

Pics do not do it justice

We stayed here for 3 nights to witness the Apr 8 total solar eclipse with our children and another family with small kids. I can tell you this was one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed at. Danielle, a staff member and our main contact while on the property, was absolutely amazing with accommodating all of our needs, brought us extra chairs and helped set up for the big event. Is so beautiful out here and the building is so thoughtfully crafted and well maintained. I am blown away and my family and friends will never forget this amazing experience, made possible by this awesome property.

Excellent getaway

This was the getaway we needed! Perfect place out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Very relaxing and we enjoyed watching the deer. The house is gorgeous and our boys enjoyed playing pool and relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day. We will definitely stay here again!

Family fun

The lodge was fantastic. The design and unique details were gorgeous. We had a group of 7 who love playing games, so the pool table, corn hole and shuffleboard table were perfect! We also had a wonderful meal at The General Store close by. Definitely recommend this place!

Worth every minute away from town!

Home was great. Super clean and great in every way to entertain a big family. We had two families there and still had a whole mini house left to occupy. Outdoor patio, Sonos, pool table, and hot tub was all perfect.

Ladies weekend getaway

Relaxing and enjoyable weekend getaway at this beautiful, spacious, and Incredibly clean property for our group of 7. Pam was quick to reply to any pre trip questions We had, and she and Bree welcomed us with a Texas hug on our arrival. Such a gem to find on Homeaway/VRBO, we plan to return soon.

Spring break at White Ghost

We were a party of 12, mostly adults with two teenagers. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and the cabins were pretty clean and well-decorated. Pam is very responsive and she accommodated our late checkout request (by 2 pm) upon request. We definitely would love to visit again.

Amazing hosts/owners that treated us like family! Kids had a great time feeding the baby deer, playing shuffleboard, touring the property and fishing in the stocked pond. The property is so beautiful and the house was stunning with amazing craftsmanship and details that you won’t find anywhere else. We will definitely be back, and want to say thank to Pam and Brent for such a special trip!

Best Birthday Trip Ever!

I love everything about this property, one of my favorites and I have stayed at several places. Danielle was amazing and very helpful. The wildlife was a plus and our group had so much fun playing pool, listening to music on the nice speaker system that was inside and outside, and getting in the hot tub. We are planning on returning and want to book the wildlife tour.

Beautiful lodge retreat

The photos look really nice but it really does not do the place justice. The 1st thing we noticed is how extremely clean the place is. The decor is phenomenal and the attention to every detail made our stay that much memorable. They entrainment areas inside and outside are so much fun. We didn't have plans to use the hot tub but the host was so awesome and had cleaned, filled and set the tub to the perfect temperature, we ended up doing a Walmart run to get some shorts to take a dip. We are glad we did. 1/2 the party was able to relax in the hot tub while the other half did the grilling and hung out. The shuffleboard was so much fun. One of the nights most of our friends were gathered around the fireplace (which is started with a flick of a switch) listening to music and my husband and I were enjoying a competitive game of shuffleboard. At first we were without music since our speaker was being used by the group which stayed by the fireplace. We didn't want to spend time figuring out the speakers in the house. I'm glad we did! It was so easy, just install an app on your phone and the Sonos speakers sound so great, we are planning on get some for our home. Fully stocked kitchen, linens and towels. We were a party of 4 couples and never felt crowded. They house if very spacious and so nice we are already planning our next visit. Thanks much to the host, you have an awesome setup.

Wonderful property. Vacation on vacation.

We loved our stay at White Ghost . It was 30 mins from Fredericksburg which was fine for us we aren’t a all day walk around and shop crew. Although we did spend a couple of days doing it. We didn’t get to climb Enchanted Rock because we didn’t get reservations in time but Cross Mountain was. Nice quick trail. The Hot tub and Shuffle board were a huge hit. We loved the view of the property and the Lodge was a work of art essentially. Everything was top of the line and well taken care of. The property manager met us at arrival and that was so very helpful. We would stay here again.
