There were 10 of us including the kids. We could not have asked for a better location and accomodations! Ginger was very helpful and communicative when needed. Lots of room to roam, horses, cows, and the donkey - Hudson I think! We will stay there again. I will mention the smell of ceosote in the house is a little strong the first day but that was a prerry minor issue.
We couldn’t have been happier with finding this place. It was perfect for a small family reunion. The kitchen/living room is huge yet cozy. Hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Loved it!
Loved this place. It does have a treated lumber smell, but we quickly got used to it. The place itself is nice, perfect for entertaining. Even in the winter the property is beautiful. The hosts are communicative and accommodating. It was the perfect place to have a family holiday gathering.
Our son got married this weekend and my family all came in from out of town and we were all able to stay in one place together. It made the whole weekend great. The place is amazing and just as advertised.
12 lifelong friends, 3 nights, lots of room to meet, play games, comfortable beds and the best owner! The surrounding property is beautiful. Long walks every day on beautiful trails. Friendly horses and a mule. Lots of outside seating under trees and sky. We will definitely be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Coyote Creek Ranch! Everything was accurate from descriptions and owners were very helpful when we asked any questions! We would stay here again for sure!!
The Coyote Creek provided us more than enough space to prepare for my son's NYE wedding at the Springs of Alvarado. We had plenty of room for family to stay, groomsmen's luncheon and a quiet, relaxing environment to just relax and enjoy the country. The horses and mini donkey on the property was a bonus! The home is huge, and the views are priceless. Even saw two coyotes running across the property one morning. Just a beautiful location for family reunions, small weddings, or whatever you want. Ginger is a jewel and goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need, including providing us with tools!!! We will be back!!
Facility was great!! Only could get main tv or iPad for my handicap son to work and very sad the fire place wasn’t working Horses were awesome for the kids. 💕. Seems like a phone number would be helpful to have quick interaction with owners instead of having to check into the app and email communication
The property is beautiful and spacious. There's definitely a varnish smell, but after a few hours you're used to it. No one in our group seemed to have issues with it.
We enjoyed fishing and being outdoors when the weather was nice. (Summer in Texas, it is what it is) There are snakes, but we also saw so many butterflies.
There was half a roll of paper towels in the kitchen and we couldn't find any more, luckily there are stores close by but we had hoped to not have to go anywhere once we arrived. There were also no tissues. But the toilet paper and towels were well stocked.
The outdoor bar was really cool, but it would be nice if there were outdoor fans on the porches. We unfortunately got some chigger bites so don't skip the bug spray!
It was neat getting to pet and feed the horses.
Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay, the host was very communicative before, and after. The pictures don't give the property justice. The sunlight that beams through during certain part of the day is breathtaking. Very quite neighborhood, and serene surroundings on the property.
I absolutely loved this place with the exception of the creosote smell. I was warned ahead of time about a funny smell but went any way. Because my husband is an environmental toxicity specialist we travel with air and surface sanitization technology that clears and neutralizes toxins as well as protects people from the harmful affects of 5G and wifi. We turned on this equipment and opened the only screen door and were able to complete our stay. It really sucks that the creosote was used in the building of this place. We knew neighbors who told us the property story after we checked in. The property had a great back porch which is where we hung out in the evening in fresh air.
This was perfect for our Friendsgiving. Very nice, well decorated, large interior space with all the amenities you may need. Huge living room space with lots of sitting space for meals. The exterior is also very nice with a lot of space for kids to play. Wonderful communication with property manager.
Great place for a family reunion. We had people travel in from as far as Japan and everyone was very impressed with the house / property. Very comfortable and tons of entertaining space for the adults and the kids. The kids loved the outdoor space and the upstairs loft area. We also hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner with 35 people and had more then enough room. Thanks again to the property owners for allowing us to enjoy this great rental!
Our family had a great time! Enjoyed the outdoors and had plenty of room indoors. Property was clean and beautiful. Kids had plenty of games to play indoors & outdoors. Thank you for making it an easy process to check in & out. Highly recommend this place to relax and have fun!
Great location for our group, loads of space inside and out. Roomy kitchen. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, comfortable seating, large dining area. Games for the kids and well maintained grounds for outdoor activities (unfortunately previous guests were not respectful of the amenities provided). AC worked great, fans throughout (we were there in June and it was hot!)
Our only real complaint was the smell, as many other guests have noted. Some in our party barely noticed it, some had issues with it. The odor lingered on their clothing and luggage long after they returned home, even after laundering. This may be seasonal, but it’s a huge issue for this otherwise awesome property.
Amazing property. Very beautiful home. Accommodations were fantastic and the horse was entertaining.
Communication was great. The house was clean. Property was very well maintained. The group of friends we went with had an amazing time and the amount of options for where to sleep was great.
This property was clean and beautiful, perfect, communication from the property manager was 10/10, they were MORE than accommodating. We booked this for our wedding venue and had a 4 day stay; I became so attached I didn’t want to leave by the last day lol- it was the best place I’ve ever stayed at and our family loved it so much they want to book again in the future too!! !
My brother and I rented the house out so our families could get together and spend time. There was a total of 13 of us, 7 adults and 6 kids. The house was perfect for us. The kids had plenty of room to run around and play. The house was very clean and only 30 minutes away from the city. We would definitely recommend the house and will be staying here again.
We came to town for a wedding. Not only was this a great place to stay, but it was perfect for the rehearsal dinner of 38 people. Would stay here again for sure! The Bowyer's were super easy to work with & responded to communication quickly.

About the host
Hosted by Ginger Bowyer
We built this barn home with a lot of love and care. It has been so much fun watching it go up from the foundation to the very finish. We use to take our little boys over during construction on the weekends and make a campfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. It has given us many memories with our two beautiful boys.
Why they chose this property
Try it once and you will see. It's very special. Hike the lake.
What makes this property unique
I always like to sneak up over the edge of the dam and look for wildlife. I always find something. A flock of ducks, a beaver swimming on the lake, one time a coyote. We see coyotes often. That is what gave it the name, Coyote Creek Ranch. I think because of the water, they come to visit us often.
