We drove in from Houston and immediately relaxed as we entered the 9E Ranch up the gravel road. There is a sense of a different time there. Our whole family slowed down and enjoyed doing things together and being outside. There are Longhorns, chickens, horses, and donkeys--wonderful, unusual animals. (we only have mosquitos in Houston!) We have stayed at Eagle's... more

Truly loved the 9E B&B experience. The property is on wonderful acreage with some really beautiful trees and 3 cute donkeys.

We stayed as a family of 4 in the lone star cabin, a quaint little home giving the authentic american settler feel. The owners Joan & Kent were so helpful giving us a tour of their ranch in an open pick up and the freedom of the ranch to woander seeing, deer, vultures (spooky as they really do circle overhead)... more
