Coyote Creek Ranch - Rustic Family Reunion Ranch Or Wedding Venue

We had a great stay at Coyote Creek and it was the perfect venue for the Celebration of Life for my mother in law. The hosts were helpful and very thoughtful. We would definitely recommend this place for a venue or just a nice getaway.

The horse barn to huge home conversation is spectacular and exceptionally nice. Because we had 40 overall attending a 3-days, 2 nights family reunion, even though the gathering area and exterior yard space including a nice pond, were all truly nice, we lacked adequate parking and parking on the grass was understandably prohibited. While the facility would have been great had our group been smaller, private sleeping space for adults was limited to 3 BR and 2 baths downstairs. The upstairs with bunk beds was ideal for kids and teens. In addition to the limited parking areas, a second refrigerator would have been extremely helpful. We managed by using ice chests. Overall, the host/hostess were really nice and inviting and the place was really, really nice; but were squeezed when it came to sleeping space (we underestimated our group), parking and refrigerator space. This would be a great place for a smaller group, and I highly recommend the hosts.

Enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for everyone. Nice quiet property.

We stayed here for 4 nights with a group of 16 people from California for my daughter’s wedding.Pros:•The fishing was great — the men in our group loved the ponds.•We even saw a cute armadillo in the backyard that entertained us for hours.•The property is peaceful and quiet, which was nice.Cons:Unfortunately, there were quite a few downsides.•Location confusion: The listing stated that the property was in Cleburne, TX, but it’s actually in Alvarado, TX. This caused issues when other family members tried to rent a nearby place, only to find out we weren’t actually in the same town.•Strong odor: The smell in the house was overwhelming — like lacquer or chemicals. It was so strong it burned our eyes and even stuck to our clothes after leaving. I had read prior reviews mentioning this but decided to give it a chance. •Cleanliness and maintenance: For nearly 750 per night, the attention to detail was disappointing. We found a dirty shoe print on a pillow, a used fake eyelash on the master bathroom sink, and most of the furniture is broken. The TV remotes didn’t work due to dead batteries, and the outdoor kitchen area was full of leaves upon arrival.Overall, the property has potential and a beautiful setting, but the odor, cleanliness, and lack of upkeep really took away from what could have been a great stay.
