We stayed on the ranch during a very quiet time. Unfortunately we arrived late and missed being able to have a bonfire and a hayride. Our keys were left out for us so we had to settle ourselves in. The room was very cosy and clean. There was a TV but only VHS borrowed from the store could be played... More

While staying in San Antonio, we visited Bandera to go riding. On a previous trip, we had visited Dixie Dude Ranch. This time around we chose Twin Elm. It was the Monday after Spring Break so the place was quiet - much to our delight - as we were able to go for a private ride with the Head Wrangler.... More

This is a great place to get away from it all! We had a great time. Everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. Keep in mind...this is a ranch, not a 5 star hotel. We stayed in one of the cabins. It was clean and roomy. There is no cable but, this is more of a place for relaxing. There... More

We stayed here 2 nights for hunters weekend. We had a cabin. It had 4 bunk beds and one double bed, a cozy little restroom and a television that only plays DVDs and VHS tapes. Although we did not have any DVDs or VHS tapes with us, that is still better than nothing at all if you must have a... More

My wife and I stayed at Twin Elm for 2 nights as part of our 25th Anniversary adventure exploring Texas. The staff was welcoming and did everything they could to make our visit comfortable and enjoyable. In fact, everyone from Ms Victoria at check-in to wrangler Mike on the trail-rides made us feel like we'd known them for years. If... More

First off, I see that all of the negative reviews have been removed from this website, so that sort of defeats the purpose, but whatever...... I was actually going to defend the ranch and say that I think that the negative reviews were coming from guests that might not have realized what they were signing up for. This is not... More

We visited Twin Elm Ranch as part of our roadtrip vacation and it was the hightlight of our holiday this year. We travelled from Ireland to New Orleans and went on a roadtrip to Bandera Texas and we were not disappointed. We stayed for two nights in Twin Elm and enjoyed every second of it. The two wranglers, Mike and... More

The entire crew from receptionist to rangers made us feel welcome and at ease. Their expertise, friendly manner and desire to provide us with the greatest true Texas style ranch experience yet, coupled with the awesome price( abt half of what the other local ranches were charging for a day trip) made one memorable trip! Thanks y'all at Twin Elm!... More

Where to start...Victoria in the office was so welcoming as we entered the ranch. We explained to her that me and my guest had horseback riding experience and she went above and beyond to create a private ride for us. That's when we met Wranlger Mike and Justin who were the real deal. They took us galloping (which you can... More
