This place was amazing. The owner was fantastic. Made us feel right at home. The cottage was very clean with amazing view. Every morning when you awake and walk out onto the 2nd floor deck your subject to see any of different species of animals Ty has on this amazing place. Our last morning we awoke to see a Sika deer standing by the pool. Adriaan was an excellent tour guide. He was very patient with the grand kids while feeding the Rhino and giraffes. Very knowledgeable about the animals and the land. Caught some nice bass in stock pond. We will definitely be back.

Our family had the time of our lives at Artemis Ranch. It honestly feels like the closest you can get to being on safari without leaving the U.S. The peaceful quiet of the ranch combined with the incredible variety of animals made for a magical stay. Watching the wildlife roam was fascinating, but the highlight for us was getting to feed Tank the rhino – a once-in-a-lifetime experience!Chef Kortney’s meals were absolutely delicious, and every dish was prepared with such care that dining itself became a highlight of the trip. Adriaan’s tours around the ranch and animal excursions were equally unforgettable – his knowledge and passion for the wildlife added so much depth to our experience.Artemis Ranch is the perfect blend of adventure, peace, and hospitality. If you love wildlife and are looking for a truly unique and serene getaway, this is a must-stay. We can’t wait to return!

We had the best girls trip here. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and sitting out by the fire pit in the evenings. Saw so many beautiful animals and the views on the ranch were incredible. We are already planning another trip here soon. The owners are the sweetest people.

Family getaway 2025

The property was beautiful and pictures were exactly what we experienced. The vista cottage was perfect. We enjoyed this whole heartily. Grandkids enjoyed pool and hot tub. This was a great experience for our annual family getaways in which we enjoy our family and forget about the busy every day life we live. The safari was a great addition to our trip from feeding Tank the rhino to giving romaine to the giraffes. Enjoyed and would recommend 100%. Thanks to Kourtney for being there for us and aLeo Adrian for the tour. Thanks

An unforgettable experience

What an absolutely incredible experience! We stayed for 3 days at the Artemis Ranch at the Vista Cottage. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner, Ty, himself! He went out of his way to give us such an unforgettable experience in every way possible.During our stay, we got a tour of the ranch, seeing all kinds of beautiful wildlife and scenery - the waterfalls were awe inspiring - while learning so much about the animals, the ranch, and even Ty himself! After the tour, we got to stop by and feed Tank the rhino and some giraffes.Words (and even pictures) cannot express how amazing of a time we had here. If you stay here, please do yourself a favor and book 3 nights to truly get the full experience. It's beyond worth it!

An incredible property for our family vacation

Artemis Ranch and Retreat is an absolutely incredible property. It’s truly like being on safari without going to Africa. Our hosts, Ty and Leslie, were so helpful and accommodating throughout our week visiting their property. Our grandchildren were in awe of the animals, from Tank- the rhino to the sweet giraffes, including a new baby, to the zebras and wildebeests, and so many more. The Vista Cottage and the lodge are beautiful properties. Chef Kourtney prepared a delicious picnic lunch for us on the patio at the lodge one day- the views were phenomenal. She also prepared a steak dinner for us one evening and served it at the cottage- again, absolutely delicious. Our last morning, the guys enjoyed shooting sporting clays. There are two wineries nearby with amazing views and fantastic wines. This was such a memorable time. Highly recommend!!

Perfect Vacation

This place is an absolute jewel! The owners are incredibly nice, friendly & welcoming. The cottage is clean & beautiful with everything you need. We were happy making our “stay” our destination. Lush lawn, refreshing pool & inviting hot tub all to yourself with a beautiful view and occasional exotic deer spotting. The stock pond to fish was an added bonus. And the private tour of the ranch, which included visits with the rhino and giraffes, sealed the deal - this was a perfect vacation!

Great Stay!

Our extended family of 6 ranging from 10 to 75 stayed at the Cottage and all had a wonderful time. Ty is a great host and he and his wife gave us a tour of the property which is absolutely amazing! We were able to feed the giraffes and TANK! My daughter said feeding princess the giraffe was the best experience she had during our week long adventure in Texas! Only wish we would have stayed longer! Thanks Ty for a wonderful time.

Amazing Adventure!

We can’t thank Ty and Chef Kourt enough for all they did to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Meeting Tank and the giraffes was such a memorable experience! Touring and learning about the ranch from Ty was so awesome! We requested a menu from Chef Kourt for our Kentucky Derby themed evening and it did not disappoint. From mint juleps, pulled pork sandwiches, buttermilk and hatch chile grits, to a beautiful sunset to cap off the evening, we were wowed every step of the way! This is a stay we will never forget!

Best weekend getaway

From check in to check out, everything was amazing. The pool was a hit of course. The safari tour in the morning was stellar with Koutney. Feeding the giraffes and seeing tank the rhino was an experience up close n out of this world. My wife had the best birthday ever. The stunning views sunrise and sunset leave you in awe. Definitely will be coming back. Thank you for everything.

Ranch is stunning. Started seeing wild animals as we entered the property. Cottage was immaculate with hot tub and pool. Incredible host who took us around the property. The giraffes and rhino were the best! Sat drinking coffee in the morning as the antelope came within 20 yards of the porch. When hiking the animals would stay closer so we could enjoy seeing them. Highly recommend Artemis Ranch!

Amazing Ranch and Cottage in TX Hill Country near Lampasas

Our recent stay in The Vista Cottage on the beautiful Artemis Ranch was incredible! Not only was the cottage - with its pool, hot tub, grille and fire pit outside - perfect for our stay, but the cherry on top was a safari tour led by the ranch owner, Ty, of his amazing ranch filled with exotic animals. We were even able to feed the giraffes and the rhinoceros! We couldn't have felt more welcomed!A huge thank you to the Owners, Ty and Leslie, and to Kaili, the Property Manager.

Wonderful safari cabin!!!!

Me and my family recently stayed in the cottage for three nights and had the best time. The cottage was very modern and clean. We loved the private pool and hot tub. The property is just beautiful and full of free roaming safari animals! The kids (and adults!) loved seeing the animals roaming around. We hiked around and drove around to see them. Ty, the owner, was the nicest man and host and checked in on us. He and another employee took us on a tour to see the animals. We got to feed the rhino and the giraffes and it was all included in out stay. I can't say enough good things about this place and our stay! You definitely should stay here. Zero issues. We will definitely be coming back.

A dream ranch stay

We were looking for a quiet, family-friendly stay in the country and we found Artemis Ranch. We stayed in the cottage on the property and I could immediately tell the difference from other vacation homes we’ve visited in the past. The owners really care about the guest experience. There were 2 bottles of wine and a basket full of snacks for the whole family: coffee pods, chips, candy, etc. The fridge was full of bottled water. The cottage was immaculate, cozy, and perfect for our family. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything I needed to cook a nice dinner. Everything was top of the line, including the awesome pellet grill. The hot tub was amazing and looking out over the property with the sky at night and the lit trees at the lodge was beautiful. We were able to fish and catch bass in the lakes. I enjoyed hikes on the gravel roads over bridges and hills with great scenery. The best part, however, was Ty (the owner) so graciously taking us on at least a 2 hour tour of the property and all the animals. My 3 boys were just amazed at everything- including feeding the friendly Rhino, Giraffes, and a sweet deer named chocolate. I don’t know how we will ever top this Vrbo- we felt so welcomed and like VIP guests. Ty is a genuine guy who just loves this property, all his animals, and hosting guests- and to quote him “what’s the point of having all this if you can’t share it?” Thank you Ty!! We will be back!
