Moon River Ranch

We went to Moon River Ranch for our 46th anniversary. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of a city trip and it was perfect. We stayed in the Wrangler covered wagon. It was cute, cozy, and just right for us. A 30 degree wind of about 25 mph had just arrived when we got all our things inside the wagon. Just in time, I'd say. We did have issues with the heater but after calling the office, they sent Jesus to see what was wrong. It was a remote issue on our part. Remotes are all different. Once the heater was up and going, we got warm and all was right with the world. Although, the wagon was well anchored, it still caused our teas to move inside our cups. That's how strong the wind was. We purchased the ATV self-guided tour and the safari tour. We enjoyed this tremendously. We will be back soon. Next time in the summer so we can take advantage of the Brazos River.

We had the best family vacation at Moon River Ranch. We stayed in the covered wagon and aside from a couple lighting issues (which maintenance quickly repaired) it was great. Such a unique experience for the whole family! While there we enjoyed many of the activities, including archery, driving the ATV, taking a safari ride, and a horseback ride. We definitely want to come back and bring grandma! We would like to add that Eli, Tracie, Jamie, and Aniya were so nice and made our stay even more enjoyable.

We stayed at Moon River Ranch a few weeks ago. Even though it was a last minute plan and we only stayed for just one night, we enjoyed our stay very much! First of all, the location is ideal for us since it's not very far from DFW. It's also about 30 minutes from Waco, so it's far enough from the city but not too far. Even though we were there this time of year, the area is still beautiful and I'm sure it's even nicer in warmer times of the year. The staff there were very nice, courteous, and extremely helpful throughout our stay. We got there well before our check-in time, but we were welcome to be on the ranch and do the animal safari, feed some goats, have some lunch, and do an ATV ride before checking in. They were willing to check me in earlier, but the cabin we stayed in was occupied and they had to clean it after. But customer service was excellent. For the activities that we did, we were very happy. The animal safari was about an hour long and the kids loved seeing the animals and feeding a few of them. It's a beautiful property and very spacious. We had lunch after the safari, and I will be honest, I wasn't expecting the food to be that good, but it actually was! We were not disappointed and neither were the kids. After lunch we did an hour long ATV ride. They have an ATV trail that basically circles around the perimeter of the ranch. It was super fun and there is a beach near the river where we stopped at and the kids collected shells. Both the animal safari and the ATV ride were also reasonably priced. Also, they have a very nice pool but it was too cold to swim in. However, they heated up the hot tub for us (you have to give them a 45 minute heads up while it heats) and the kids loved getting in there too. The cabin we stayed in was amazing. We stayed in the one called Jasmine. It looks small from the outside, but it can actually accommodate at least 6 people (king bed, queen bed, and a couch futon). But the best thing about the cabin is that it was super cozy. We loved it. It has a TV, fridge, and kitchen (we actually didn't know they had a restaurant or small store so we brought quite a lot of food and snacks). But what the kids loved the most was the king bed, because it's basically on an upstairs loft and is super cozy. Be aware though that for adults, you cant stand up there lol. The floor of the loft to the ceiling is very low. But I guess that's what made it cozy. That evening, I grilled burgers and hotdogs outside on the charcoal grill. After that, we made smores at the fire pit (they provide firewood for the fire pit but bring your own charcoal if you decide to grill). The ONLY thing I would suggest is for them to increase the temperature of the water heater in the cabin. After my two kids took a shower, the water was not hot enough for my wife or I. It's not a huge deal, you will just have to wait for it to heat up again, but it would be nice to have it hotter. Overall, we had a great time. We will DEFINITELY be back. I only wish we knew about this place before. I highly recommend Moon River Ranch, especially for families with kids, but it's even a nice place for couples. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again to the staff there who gave us a great experience!

We had an amazing experience with Moon River Ranch for our company kick-off. The property was beautiful, well-organized, and provided the perfect setting for our team to come together. A special thank you to Traci, who helped us so much throughout the entire planning process. Over the course of several months, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to understand the needs of our company and ensure we had the best accommodations possible. She made everything smooth, from lodging arrangements to supporting us with the event center setup. Traci was wonderful to work with and made the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in hosting our team event. Highly recommend Moon River Ranch for any corporate retreat or group gathering!

We had such a great time. The animal safari was a lot of fun. I loved seeing the animals up close. We did the ATV rental and rode the trail. We were able to see an ostrich “dance”. It was quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed. Tracy and Jamie were super helpful. The room was very comfy. Even though it was cold, we bundled up and took walks at night. The camel followed along with us as we walked by his fence. We will have to go again.

Thank you, Moon River Ranch, for hosting us for our annual church cabin trip this December! We truly loved every moment of our stay. From the beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere to the animals and the amazing food that was provided, everything was such a blessing to our group. A huge thank you to Traci, Jamie, Anuya, the housekeeping team, and maintenance for taking such great care of us and making us feel so welcomed throughout the weekend. Your hospitality did not go unnoticed. We are so grateful for this experience and hope to see y’all again soon. With love, Pathway City Church

My wife and I spent the weekend at Moon River Ranch. The place is amazing. They have everything from small vessels to tiny houses and hotel type lodging. Nice pool and hot tub and on the Brazos River. They even have a guided safari ride and you get up close to the animals. We booked through Traci and she was very helpful with anything we needed. I highly recommend going here for a nice getaway.
