A wonderful weekend in the country!
We visited Rockin Star Ranch as a group of moms and boys. Everything was on point! From the cabins to the horseback riding, the hayride and the amazing staff. We will be back!

Perfect location!
The property was absolutely beautiful in the country and had lots of amenities. Location was close to Brenham and a short drive to Round Top for shopping. The property had everything you ever wanted in a place to stay away from home . Owner was friendly and made sure had everything during our stay for the weekend. We came for bluebonnets, shopping in Round Top and a peaceful get away for our anniversary.

Wonderful!
The experience staying at the Ranch and in this cabin was wonderful! Darrel was very attentive to any/all of our needs, but gave us our space. The Ranch was very serene, quiet, and beautiful. I’d rate this highly for anyone to stay at. Looking to see how we could come back with more family some day to share more of the cabins, the pool, and just kicking back and relaxing. Darrell also asked us for our candid feedback as we left and was interested on what we had to stay so that he could improve the experience.

Just another day in paradise!
Another visit to the Rockin Star Ranch, another success!! We love everything about our stays - from the pool and outdoor kitchen, to the garden, new baby animals, and gorgeous sunflower trees. Darrell always goes the extra mile to ensure we have all we need and enjoy our stays, and you can’t beat the quick hour long ride to/from Houston for a weekend getaway. We will definitely be back!

Vacation w/a little of everything
Best way to start the summer every year. This time we invited friends to experience this little slice of heaven w/us. 3 moms & our 4-5yr olds & one set of grandparents. We rented 4 star cabins that were perfection! Swimming, fishing, s’mores, fed baby chicks, donkey, pigs, goats, turkey& geese. Woke up to a big ole country breakfast w/farm fresh eggs! Watched a gorgeous Texas sunset. Played baseball, basketball, yard games& the boys got to horseback ride. A little slice of heaven in Texas.

Great fun for the whole family.
RockinStar Ranch is a great destination for the whole family. Darrell (the host) is incredibly responsive and was gracious with his time. He took us on a tour of the ranch and my 9-year old son had a blast looking at the animals and just riding around. The pool was what initially brought us in, but there is so much more the ranch has to offer. The three of us went fishing each morning and caught and released 20+ fish. My 9-year old also received private riding lessons from Darrell's son, which I highly recommend. We also got to feed some baby goats. The accommodations were as advertised and I know we will be back.

Happy Trails and Wide Open Spaces
What a beautiful 2-night stay we had at the Rockin Star Ranch! From being excited seeing the description and pictures of the property, to actually booking and communicating with Darrell…the process was so easy. Every trip from now on will be compared to this experience. Darrell and his beautiful property set the bar high. The pictures do not do the property justice, they do - but they don’t capture the ambiance of peace, tranquility, “wide open spaces” and reconnecting with nature, watching livestock lazily feeding in the pasture, flowers, and my favorite was Bailey, the sweetest dog ever. She’ll greet you, and come and sit on the porch with you, if you have a belly rub to spare. Enjoyed it much, hope to return! Best wishes!

Fantastic Ranch Oasis
Rockin' Star continues to exceed our expectations every time we come. We came for Father's Day weekend and it was the perfect way to get away with the kids and enjoy the bounty the ranch has to offer. As always, Darrell and his family were amazing - so welcoming and hospitable. The sunset hayride is always a delight and on this trip we not only visited all the amazing creatures housed on property but we also got to release young ducks and a goose onto the small fishing area behind the pool. The boys were thrilled! He has made numerous additions and improvements that make it even more fabulous. Our boys love leaping off the rock fountain into the pool, playing the games and communing with all the creatures - mostly resident pup Bailey - but they also enjoy the simple pleasures of visiting the garden and catching grasshoppers or frogs. We love Rockin' Star and we will continue to come back! Don't miss this incredible getaway!

Great place to get away from the big city
We are only 2 hours away from Rockin Star, but this was just far enough to get out of the city & enjoy the quiet & slower pace of the hill country. We enjoyed the pool each evening & it was very relaxing. Darrell Sr & Jr were super friendly & helpful with the ins & outs of the property, and Darrell Sr showed us around the property. We were just there for a weekend getaway, but it’s a great place for a family reunion or wedding.

Peaceful and Productive Retreat
I booked this for our group because my daughter had her wedding her. All the cabins and the wedding venue were perfect for what she needed, so when it came time to find a peaceful spot for our team to retreat and plan, I immediately thought of Rockin Star. It was perfect! Thank you Darrell, we will be back.

Charming
I stayed in the Shooting Star cabin the night before a wedding venue as the designer. My cabin was charming and beyond accommodating. The property was unbelievable and has so much more to offer than just weddings. I felt at home in my cabin away from home and was a retreat from the craziness of the wedding venue when I needed to step away for a few minutes to relax or recollect myself. The owner of the property went above and beyond to accommodate any of my needs to assure that the event was a success. The cabins and common area with pool and outdoor kitchen are a nice touch for a group. I will most certainly return to the Rockin Star Ranch but next time it will be as a guest and not for work.

TRIP WITH FRIENDS
Oh my goodness. Never in a million years did I think we could find a place so beautiful and relaxing. And on top of that we met the host, Darrell, and his son, Sonny Boy. WOW!!! They were AWESOME. Very personable, entertaining, and I could go on for days. We will most definitely be back. A fun time was had by all. Thank you Darrell and Sonny Boy for being exceptional hosts. To those who have not stayed at Rockin Star Ranch you definitely need to plan a stay. Five Star more like Fifty Five Star. This place is incredible!!!!

A little piece of Texas heaven
My children and I stayed here this week, and could not have been more pleased! We were met with the kindest gentleman who showed us to our beautiful, clean cabin with all the amenities we needed! It was very evident to us that this place has been put together with the utmost pride and care. We absolutely loved the ranch grounds and all it had to offer (beautiful flowers, animals abound, great pool, lounging areas, and fun game area for the kids!) Zero complaints! ... I have to say, we COMPLETELY disagree with one of the more recent reviews... I'm not sure we even stayed at the same ranch or met the same owner? Needless to say, we will certainly be back, and RSR, yall keep doing you ! :)
