Comments from our Guests

Truly awesome experience, it’s hard to imagine that Los Madrones is only 25 miles from Austin yet a world away in terms of peace and quiet. The Casita is beautiful and the ranch is ripe for exploration. Thank you for your hospitality! I enjoyed every minute.

We truly enjoyed your hospitality and lovely place. The birds, the creek, the hot tub and fire pit were a blessing to us. Everyone needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy the beauty and nature! Take care and God bless.

Sharon and Bill, Austin, TX April 28, 2013

You and your Casita made our Texas visit even more special. Los Madrones is a wonderful place and we hope to be able to come back. Cycling the area with your support was a great experience. Hope to see you again. . . in Europe, U.S., or wherever else! Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the warm hospitality. It is great to experience central Texas in a new way. A great birthday trip!

Katie and Taylor, Austin, TX February 10, 2013

We had a wonderful father and son getaway. Los Madrones was the perfect centerpoint for the Grand Prix. I wish we had more time to explore the ranch. We enjoyed our walks, and the Casita was perfect for us. It should be a very memorable 9th birthday for Andrew!

We absolutely love your Casita! It was the perfect place to spend one of our last weekends before the arrival of baby number two. We may not be in the “BK” phase, but we felt like it in this quiet refuge. Thanks for the delicious breakfast!

Hillary and Chad, Dallas, TX October 7, 2012

We were so blessed by the time we spent at Casita! A “mommy get-away” we will not soon forget! Being surrounded by the majesty of God’s creation was a wonderful backdrop for our time of prayer and refreshment! Many blessings.

Eileen and Mark, Red Rock, TX April 15, 2012

I enjoyed my stay a lot. The peace and quiet is wonderful here, as is the cedar-scented air and the melodies of the birds. I did a lot of hiking on the property, both on and off trail, and the hiking here was better than any place else I hiked in the area.

Randall, Houston, TX April 8, 2012

We are so pleased to have found such a great place to stay when visiting our family. The grandchildren really enjoyed our evening with you. The hospitality was amazing. We will definitely be back when we return to Texas to visit. Thanks again for two wonderful weeks.
