Have you ever wanted to escape the craziness of life and head out to a ranch in the country where you can hear your own thoughts, relax, enjoy each other’s company, and let the kids get away from the video games and TV to explore the great outdoors? Have you ever wanted the kind of day where your biggest decision is to wake up to see the sunrise, have a cup of coffee on the front porch, or go for a walk down a dirt road?

Perhaps you’ve dreamt of saddling up your trusty horse, preparing for the upcoming rodeo? And as the night unfolds, have you ever wished to gaze upon the magnificent Texas sunsets that are renowned for their beauty? When darkness falls, to gather around a campfire, roast some s’mores, and be serenaded by the symphony of nocturnal sounds?

Nestled on 40 beautiful acres just 90 minutes south of Dallas-Fort Worth, our ranch offers a serene retreat for families, couples, and friends looking to reconnect and recharge. Whether you’re gathering for a family reunion, celebrating a graduation, hosting a Tarleton University event, planning a wedding, or marking any special occasion, we’re ready to make it unforgettable. While the ranch sleeps 8 comfortably in beds, we’ve hosted much larger groups — just let us know your vision, and we’ll help bring it to life. There’s plenty of space for air mattresses, tents, or however you’d like to make the ranch your own.

Awesome weekend at 3 Shy ranch Love staying at 3 Shy. So beautiful and peaceful. Love the animals

5/19/2024

Celebrated our daughter’s college graduation. The house was perfect!! Absolutely beautiful.

Graduation

5/13/2024

We rented the VRBO at 3 Shy Ranch to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city with hopes of viewing the total solar eclipse. The property was perfect for our small group to sit outside, BBQ, see the stars and view the eclipse. The property provides amazing sunrises and sunsets and has a collection of animals that add to the rustic charm of the place! A great place to get away!

Perfect Spot to Relax & View the Total Solar Eclipse

The house was clean and set up perfectly. It had plenty of room for people at our daughter’s graduation party from Tarleton. Most amazing sunset and view of the stars. Plus the miniature donkeys were adorable. The homeowners were super responsive and helpful!

Great spot for Graduation Party

This is a perfect home and location for our group of cyclists who enjoyed the backroads around Hico. The hosts are just great! Can't wait to come back.

Perfect location and home

5/30/2023

We rented the location for my son's graduation party from Tarleton. It is in a very rural area, away from the big city which we liked very much. The owners were very easy to communicate with, the place was very clean and accommodating. Upon arrival Mike took us on a tour of the building showing us where everything was and explained the property. On Thursday nights the owner host a training session where some of the locals train their dogs to heard cattle. We spoke with them for over 2 hours, super nice people and very entertaining! We extremely enjoyed our stay!

This beautiful property has many things to do and see. We were able to relax and have fun playing all the games available. At night, the gorgeous stars made it even more tranquil. We loved it and so did the kids. Thank you.

Everything you could want...

Our getaway was wonderful - we were there for Tarleton Family Weekend and just wish we had more time there! We fed the donkey and horse and saw the cows, goats and chickens! We would love to return when the weather is cooler so we can enjoy the outdoor property even more! Wonderful home and they thought of everything! Will be back!

Wish We Had More Time…..

Great family get-away! We met for granddaughters graduation! We loved the property. We had a great time. It is quiet and beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone that wanted a fun, quiet place for friends or family to gather.

Everett - just what we needed

5/24/2022

Perfect place for a large group of people who enjoy the outdoors. So many fun games to play for old and young! We watched the NFR all weekend on the Big Screens and played pool non stop. The house is large and spacious and we had fun admiring all the decor! We can't wait to come back!

College Graduation Weekend

This house was amazing. Had so many games and things to do as well as plenty of space to hang out. The AC struggled to keep the house cool but they do have fans in almost every room. It’s hard to control this Texas heat!! Other than that it was a fantastic experience and we will be back!!

We loved this place!!
