“PermaVista Ranch is just excellent in every way! It is a top notch, well operated, well maintained guest ranch…beautiful spaces inside and out…beautiful views of the rolling hills…well planned for privacy for every rental space. There is an ambiance of peace and calm, yet so many activities in which to participate in! Our family enjoyed the horseback riding from our youngest grand, the teens, the early twenties and the parents! When the rain arrived, there is shuffle board, pool, a giant TV and bar in the game room. No one was left out of the fun. The food was fabulous and the staff lovely. This is truly the Perfect Place!”

“We had a small staff retreat there and it was a perfect fit! Having breakfast included was a wonderful blessing and the food was tremendous. There was plenty of space for us to spread out but also have times of meeting together. The host was quick to respond whenever we had questions or needs!”

“Awesome property for our group of 8 ladies. We thoroughly enjoyed the party house & views! Breakfast was varied & plentiful. Loved the fresh squeezed oj & home made green & red salsas! (Wish we could order extra of both salsas to take home!!) We walked to the pond & horse barn. Ruth was very responsive via text & our tour guide answered all our questions upon arrival. The chef + staff were ever so accommodating -- helping with fireplace & serving dinner an hour later because we were having too much fun playing tennis!”

The ranch was beautiful, bedrooms were spacious. We utilized the Chef's services and were not disappointed. The staff stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process to ensure all dietary needs were met and that all our questions were answered. I highly recommend this venue for a weekend stay or an event. Beautiful!

This place was sooo amazing. Plenty of room for everyone. Kids & adults loved the horseback riding. Pool time was certainly enjoyed each day. The big delicious breakfast prepared each morning was such a treat as we were all able to sit down together at the same time to eat & spend some quality family time around the table. We had 4 generations in attendance & lots of special memories made this year. Thanks for everything.

June 15th-19th,2022

’ This property was perfect for my group of 22 people from infants to 60+. The available activities right on property were plenty to keep all engaged, having fun and laughing. I'd list a couple but that wouldn't be fair to the others. My family was there for a reunion and I believe we experienced the best we could've ever hoped for. The chefs were marvelous, the food was spot on they kept the kitchen and dining room clean as well presented the meals beautifully. We never ran out of food for any breakfast and we had them prepare one dinner for us. They did a great job all four days we were there. The property manager was incredibly responsive for all of our needs, no matter how small. She ensured that we had everything we paid for and was promised. The horse trainer that took my group out for rides was great as well. She was very patient and friendly and great with the young children as well as the older 'kids' that wanted to go faster with the horses. The property was so perfect for my reunion that I've already reserved the it for my next one next year! I haven't stayed at any other VRBOs before this one so I don't have anything to compare it to. But it's hard for me to imagine they come much better than this one. I would recommend to anybody that's considering it.’’

June 10th-13th, 2022

Our group was made up of seven adults and five kids (all aged 7 or younger). The set up at the ranch is ideal for multiple families staying at the same time. We were able to keep parents and kids close together in terms of rooms. There was a lot to do. We spent time horse riding, fishing, playing tennis and soccer as well as making good use of the pool. The team at the ranch did an exceptional job of making us feel welcome, answering our questions and the food was excellent. Definitely would recommend PermaVista as a great location for a vacation or mini break.”

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!! A reunion for 7 women that have been friends for 30 plus years. Each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms. We can't say enough about the staff and the food!!! It was amazing and like we were going to a 5 star restaurant.. They were friendly, attentive and their food was the best ever! Even though it rained and was cold one day, we played games and had a roaring fire. Perfect. Don't forget to visit the horses even if you don't ride. They were friendly and made great photo opportunities. Beautiful hill country ranch. A great retreat from the noise of our lives. Might have to make this our annual trip. Thank you for everything!! The "Tizzy Up" sistas!!

We took our five children and spouses and six grandkids to the ranch in October 2021. The trip was awesome! We had such a good time and built some family memories that will last a lifetime. The Ranch was a perfect family getaway for us - pool, tennis court, horseback riding, the huge grassy fields to throw the football and frisbee. The game room was awesome! The horse trainer, Elise was outstanding in every way - so good with the small kids but also let the adults have an awesome adventurous ride. We definitely hope to return soon!

We had a group of families visit! An absolutely gorgeous magical time! The property is spectacular! We will certainly have family vacation there again. When they said served breakfast we anticipated a mild continental style. Nope! It’s a legendary experience with fresh fruit, sausages, eggs, pancakes/waffles, bacon, etc. the food was incredible. We did not opt for the chef prepared dinner this time. We didn’t realize what an amazing experience it would be! Honestly, you could have their breakfast and get the dinner experience. That is all the food you’ll need! The game room was insane?! We loved every second! Definitely returning!

A yearly must for us!
We have been coming here for the last 5 years during the summer with our family. We finally decided to plan a weekend with our friends. This was the perfect place for 8 couples. Everyone has their own space but the communal areas are also fantastic. We took daily walks down to see the horses, played wiffle ball on the giant manicured lawn, spent the hot afternoons in the pool, and had a great time in the game room in the evening. Julian and Silvio were wonderful and our friends were so impressed with their food and service. We will definitely be back!

Great Family Reunion Venue
We have a family reunion every two years and the Ranch was one of the best places we have stayed. We had a pool, shot fireworks, shot clays and did the horseback riding. Silvio and his crew made an awesome breakfast everyday and we had lots of room to spread out. Ruth was a great host and always was quick to answer my questions. Highly recommend the Ranch!

Private Resort, packed with fun and adventure for all ages
The property is absolutely gorgeous. It is very well maintained and thanks to a very attentive and sincere staff. Everyone you run into is so courteous and sincere in their service. The property Manager Ms. Ruth and the owner Mr. Robert are so prompt in their service. They are always a phone call or a message away. The conversation always results in a solution rather than an excuse, and this is very important for me. My family had lots of fun and all were whelmed with this unique experience. It has everything you would get in a resort but is catered to just you. It gives you the pride and satisfaction to say "I stayed in a private resort!!!". An unique experience, thanks to Robert, Ruth and the Perma-Vista Team. Please continue to keep up the great work, will see you guys soon.

“Family had a great time
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was decorated beautifully Christmas. We opted for dinner, and it was an extremely nice treat to have breakfast and dinner prepared and served - and no cleanup afterward. The food was excellent and well worth the price. Filbio and Julian were fantastic. We didn't realize breakfast the morning of checkout was also included, so the dinner bell came in handy when most of us were still snoozing. The accommodations were very nice, and everyone having their own space and bathroom was another big plus. Half our group went horseback riding, and Paige was fantastic. The ping pong table is set up outside, so if it's windy, playing is out. The whole family enjoyed playing shuffleboard, croquet, and watching movies, and a few enjoyed some fishing. Again, overall we had a great time.”

“Amazing Birthday celebration at the Property
We booked this property for a weekend getaway along with our friends to celebrate my wife's 40th bday. All our guests loved the property and both kids and adults had lots of fun in that 2 days. The property has amazing facilities and we loved the pool/Jacuzzi/tennis court/horse riding and walking trails. 2 days wasn't enough to venture the place completely. Amazing staff who catered to all our needs and the breakfast is an additional plus. Overall we all loved it and people were so sad to leave the property during checkout. Ruth was very helpful and pretty responsive to all our questions. We will surely return back.”

"PermaVista Ranch is an amazing place to stay! The place was clean and ready to go when we showed up. There is so much space to roam and play sports/games (tennis court, basketball court, ping pong, shuffleboard, etc.)! Perfect for retreats and family getaways. Don't bother looking for anything to do away from the ranch. It is not necessary. We were busy the whole time. The staff at PermaVista were very kind and helpful. We would advise having the chefs Silvio and David cook you dinner one of the nights you stay! Their fajitas (and all of their meals) are fantastic! Ruth, who we worked with to book the place, was wonderful and very helpful when it came to picking food and giving recommendations for things we could go do nearby. She responded very quickly to any inquiries we made very quickly. What a pleasure it was to work with everyone at PermaVista!"

This is definitely the ideal place for any big gathering you are having such as a family reunion, graduation party, birthday party, etc. The staff are all amazing, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The rooms are gorgeous and feel exactly like home. I don’t think a stay at a ranch was ever more luxurious than my stay at Permavista. There are also activities to keep all ages happy entertained like tennis, basketball, horseback riding, and more. The pool and hot tub are definitely perfect for relaxing after a long day. If you are looking for your next event location look no further because it doesn’t get any better than PermaVista."

We took advantage of the horse back riding, the pool, playset, tennis courts and the large open lawn for plenty of running around and games. The breakfast was prepared each morning by an amazing team and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the catered dinners as well. The food was exquisite. Also, the house set up is ideal as each family had their own separate space and bathroom. The property was just stunning but the hospitality by Robert, Ruth and staff was beyond - 5 stars and more! amazing place for large groups."

They helped us schedule various activities for the children, including a bounce house and a snow machine. The weather didn't cooperate with us but it was still a success because there was so much space. I highly recommend this property!"

"HUGE thank you to Ruth for making sure our wedding day went perfectly. Wind was horrible, but she was there and had the staff put siding on the tent to fix the problem. The property was beautiful. The catering was beyond great. Everyone complimented the venue and property. Ruth is attentive to your needs, and is there for you when you need her. The horseback riding was great for the family the day after the wedding. You won't find many places that your wedding party can stay the whole weekend and have the wedding at the same location for the price. 5 STARS all the way around."

We are so grateful for all of the amazing amenities on-site + the spectacular food that we were able to enjoy. Both of our immediate families stayed comfortably on the ranch all weekend and had an incredible time. I could not have asked for a better wedding venue or people more helpful in working with us to create a weekend special not only for us, but our friends and family too."

The ranch itself is serene, peaceful and the perfect place to conduct our executive meeting. The rooms were spacious and well appointed and the grounds had so many fun activities including horseback riding and tennis. While the amenities were impeccable, the food provided by the ranch was absolutely out of this world. We will definitely be visiting again!"

There is plenty of space to have 13+ people and they also have two precious dogs that our group fell in love with and were by far the highlight of our stay! Breakfast was prepared for us the next morning by the chefs and it was delicious - a great way to start the day! We would absolutely stay here again."

"Amazing. place
Everything was amazing. We had a great time. The crew here is wonderful and our Henry, 2 year old, brushed up on his Spanish!!! The chef and helpers were wonderful. Food was amazing and the birthday cake was a huge hit. The large family room and outside is where we spent our time. The family room is wonderful. 3 TVs and we had them all on at once. The last night was tournament night and all sports were in a bracket. . Thanks to the owners for allowing us to be at a peaceful place, all together and away from work. We have a family owned company and each family here has at least one member that works there. It has been great to get us all away at one time and get to be together for fun. Horseback riding was a huge fun experience for the 3 older siblings that realized they were 40 somethings and they had never been on horses together. We are grateful that we could have such a wonderful vacation at a wonderful place."

"We used this ranch for my wedding. The ranch is really closer to a tiny resort. It was an absolute dream come true! The entire place was kept immaculate and the grounds were lovely with flowers blooming, a perfectly trimmed lawn and a spectacular view. The entire staff was very accommodating and responded to any questions I had almost immediately. You truly have to see to believe the beauty of the place. I'm really appreciative that the owner, Mr. Andrews, made a choice to share his beautiful getaway with people. The staff tends to stay in the background, magically appearing at the smallest of requests. As an added bonus, the food was top notch and we were able to have the meals at a time of our choosing. If you have any sort of soiree planned in the future, from a small intimate gathering to an event as large as a wedding, I definitely encourage you to use Perma Vista Ranch."

"Last year, when I heard our son was getting married in Brenham during wildflower season, my first thought was "where will we stay with our large family coming from out of town"?! Options are limited in such a small town especially that time of year. We have family of all ages coming long distances needing a comfortable special place to stay. I happened to find Permavista Ranch online and scheduled a visit. Ruth gave us a tour and a description of the services and I reserved it on the spot. Over the past few months, I have made several visits out to the ranch to make arrangements for special family dinners, horseback riding, and a large rehearsal dinner on site. Ruth was available to give me input and let me get the feel of the place on my own. No pressure sales, just presented the options, made experienced suggestions and introduced me to Julian, Permavista's chef and on site manager. Together, they helped me plan a memorable experience for our family to spend time together in between the wedding festivities. It gave the adults time to relax from high stress work life while providing a safe place for the children to have fun at the basketball court, shuffleboard and pool tables and horseback riding. The on site staff made us feel very special providing a personalized sit down breakfast every morning, a culinary experience for an intimate family dinner and being available to help out in any way needed. They went above and beyond my expectations for the entire weekend and I hated to tell them goodbye - wonderful people all around! We also hosted a 100 person rehearsal dinner on the back lawn with all of the trimmings. The backdrop and view of the property made for a very special and beautiful evening. The photos turned out beautifully. Julian and his staff worked with us to keep things moving forward throughout the chilly night, even making adjustments to the lights in the tent, getting fires in the fireplace and overlook fire pit then helping with end of night clean up. Could not have done it without them! Overall, our experience was memorable and all of the family hated to leave for the airport on Sunday morning to head home. Our stay at Permavista Ranch played a huge role in making priceless family memories of this wonderful busy weekend! Thank you to Ruth, Julian, Shannon and their staff for their kindness and consideration throughout our visit. We WILL be back!"

"For a working team of 20 -it was a perfect get away location for team building, recreation and atmosphere for our folks to come together and engage. Just now wish we had made this a 2 night event. The host was very hospitable and the house and grounds were very picturesque with abundant wildflowers in on the grounds. The great room is where we spent most of our time and it was perfect for group presentations, there was adequate space on the campus for break out sessions and socializing space with the outside fire pit, patio and shuffleboard and pool table inside kept our group very busy. A bit cold for the pool and hot tub, so it was not used this tip."

The horseback riding was probably the highlight of our trip. We were all newbies to riding but the instructor was great and the horses friendly and well-behaved. None of us wanted to stop riding! Thank you for such a great trip!"

"LOOK NO FURTHER!!
I am utterly overwhelmed by my experience at this ranch. I had my parents 50th wedding anniversary here just moments ago and every guest in attendance was floored by the location and the grounds. It is STUNNING! This place is beyond phenomenal. And worth taking seriously as a viable option, if not your only option, if you wish to throw an absolutely memorable event. I promise you it will fully honor your vision and go beyond your imagination. The owner of the ranch has truly created a one of a kind establishment that oozes with great energy. Plus it is super immaculate. And of course, the horses add to the regal country flare. If you're looking for a place to host your next event you will be over the moon pleased by the grounds and the sheer utter consideration of the staff and their hospitality. The sales executive Ruth, the horse trainer Shannon, the chef Jullian... along with all the additional staff on the grounds were the added bonus. Their passion and thoughtfulness will reverberate around you that will help you to create a picturesque event. They truly are the heart of what makes this location a one of a kind opportunity that you should by no means miss out on. BTW the photos of this establishment DO NOT give it justice. This place is remarkable!! The ceilings in the game room are super high and regal. The beds are furnished with top of the line matresses. The basketball, tennis court, and watch tower were perfect for kids and adults to play and explore safely. The decor is perfectly reminiscent of something out of a tv show which sets the tone for a luxury country affair. Even if I tried, I couldn't think of anything that would cause you to second guess the appeal of this location. Despite the distance, it is well worth the short trek of an hour and a half. The lodge, its layout, the chef's food, the pristine views, and the horses are all, hands down, by far, the most superior you will find for miles around. Nothing you can think of could even come close! This is undeniably a top shelf find! And in truth, this is a fully honest, sincere review. I am just so floored by the joy that I, my family and our guests received and I owe all that to Ruth, Shannon, Jullian, and of course Mr. Roberts. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We are sincerely grateful for your thoughtfulness. You've made a huge impact on my family's lives over the short stay. This place is... Remarkable, Unbelievable, & Unimaginable. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THERE!! xo"

In advertently I left several items upon departing. Once home I realized I'd left something valuable. Contacting the manager, Ruth, was easy and she acted promptly. My items were mailed immediately and returned in excellent condition. This response was consistent with the prompt, caring, courteous, and personal attention shown each guest at the event. Thank you PermaVista for the memorable event."

The entire staff was very responsive and quite flexible to our needs in the weeks and days leading up to the event, which, as an event planner is something that is priceless to me. The event was held outside on the croquet court – which was the perfect picturesque backdrop for the celebration. The owner, Robert, even stayed on-site to ensure the event went off without a hitch, and most importantly… the food was AMAZING!"

Loved riding the horses around the property and neighboring properties. Axe was a sweetheart and easy to handle, coming from an inexperienced rider. For being the quiet one, he kept trying to be the leader! ? Ranch and kitchen staff were wonderful! They were so accommodating, and super friendly! Breakfast and dinner served was delicious. Overall experience was great! I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends. Just a few observations/recommendations - a shower would have been nice in the bedroom that only had the tub.

"Spectacular memorable ladies’ trip! This was a great, fun, relaxing place for a ladies shopping excursion and retreat. 13 of us had a blast in the game room til all hours, and then woke to the most delicious breakfast.....bacon being cooked, tables set up out by the pool, pancakes, huevos rancheros, oj, coffee....being waited upon by 4 servers and a great chef. Also, we hired the chef for a delicious mexican- inspired gourmet dinner. Everything we asked Ruth, the concierge, to do for us was done with a smile. The only thing you have to be aware of is the fact that all the ranches out there are on a septic tank system, so water pressure is very low. Some showers were a trickle. But there were lots of clean beds and wonderful spaces to gather in. We will definitely go again! We didn't take advantage of the horseback riding or tennis, but next time for that, too. ) Also, the drive through hill country is beautiful."

"We had a big group wanted to have a relaxing getaway during the first weekend of Spring Break. Once we found this ranch in Airbnb, we knew that we have found the one we were looking for. The promptness and professionalism of the host and the owner, with some personal touch made it easy for us to book it for our getaway. Our entire team was delighted with the warm reception we received when we arrived at the ranch. The ranch itself was great and definitely exceeded our expectations. Even though the weather could be better than what we had, but that didn't prevent us to have fun in the swimming pool/spa, in the game room, in the horse-riding, in the basketball court, or just being in the seating areas. They even offered us an extra room in addition to some extra air-mattresses to accommodate all of us, and they didn't charge anything extra for that. The welcoming fruit basket was also a pleasant surprise. The service of the entire crew was simply top-notch, starting with the owner, the host Ruth, the care-taker Julian, and the horse-trainer - all were super nice. Thank you PermaVista Ranch for giving us a memorable weekend. We all are planning to come back here in future."

It was one of those moments we knew we would be back and we had not even walked into the front door. The beds were comfy, and the ranch design just perfect. The $1 million dollar game room looks like a million! The horses, the food, the staff all definitely 5 star! “Piece of Heaven!!! Great, great, great!! Go!!"

"My wife and I were married at the PermaVista Ranch in the spring of 2013 and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting. We hosted around 130 guests who flew in everywhere from California to New York to celebrate with us. They were all greatly impressed by the landscape, views, buildings, amenities (the pool, tennis court, and horse riding program), and especially the excellent food and service provided by the PermaVista staff at our rehearsal dinner. The main house and front courtyard are ideally suited to hold rehearsal dinners, weddings, and receptions and easily accommodated our group.

Before booking the PermaVista Ranch, my wife and I looked all over Houston for alternate wedding venues, but agreed this was the best - truly a unique and special place. I couldn’t recommend this more highly – plus it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to"

"I have been a guest at PermaVista Ranch many times. The landscape is gorgeous; rolling hills of horse pasture, wooded glades, and a sleepy pond near the horse barn. In the spring, the fields boom with the blue-purple Bluebonnets and the yellows and pinks of Indian Paint Brush. The accommodations range from nice and comfortable and homey to spectacular (the newest wing), and they are everywhere attended by beautiful landscaping, from fruit tree-lined gravel roads, to roaming Bougainvillea, to Hibiscus exclamation points, to colorful plantings along the walkways. Sitting by the pool in the late afternoons and evenings and early mornings brings deep tranquility, looking out over the large expanse of fields and sky, with an occasional distant rumble of a passing train. PermaVista Ranch has a tower from which the views are even more commanding. There is a powerful telescope in the living room which provides astonishing views of the heavens at night because there is no light pollution in PermaVista's night sky. The experience is complete with three deliciously interesting meals per day prepared by a chef, always fresh, from scratch, using ingredients from PermaVista's vegetable and pepper garden ~ PermaVista even makes its own hot pepper garnish, called "gunpowder", which is not too hot and which has a complex and interesting flavor from the several different pepper varieties used to make it. PermaVista Ranch is truly a hidden gem to be appreciated by the most discriminating travelers. I whole-heartedly and un-reservedly recommend it. Enjoy!"

"PermaVista was an amazing place to hold my daughter’s bat mitzvah celebration. The natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country never disappoints. And the folks who work at the ranch all went the extra mile to ensure that each detail was properly executed, from following recipes, to decorative arrangement of platters, to replenishing the buffet. We had a total of 140 adults and children who all raved about the spacious and beautiful facilities, both indoors and outdoors. While we had to go home when the party was over, we were offered our choice of the many beautiful bedrooms that could have accommodated at least 20 of us. Everything was top notch!"
