My adult son was visiting from London for the Christmas holidays and wanted a taste of Texas. I am so glad that I chose Bar M. The ranch is in a quiet spot just off the road to the nearby state park and the bunkhouse where we stayed was very private. The weather was cold during our stay but the... More

We stayed at Bar M Ranch in October for 3 nights and had a fabulous time. The bunk house provides spacious, immaculately clean and well appointed accommodation in a lovely quiet spot.

Being from Montana, I have been around a lot of friendly people, but Trisha is by all means hands down, the Queen Of Hospitality. If you want to see beautiful scenery, have a... More

We loved staying here! The ranch is just 10 minutes from Bandera and makes a great base for exploring roundabout. The cabin was welcoming and cosy and was equiped with everything we needed during our 3 night stay, including a cute and very friendly cat named Francis who even managed to endear herself to my so-called 'not-a-cat-person' partner. The ranch... More

We had a great time here! The horses and scenery were wonderful. The guest cottage was great too! It had a well equipped kitchen, plenty of movies, and was extra clean. We can't wait to go back! Trisha was such a great host! Can't recommend it enough!
