We were there for 3 days and our beautiful, energetic, passioninate (about every animal) guide was named Chelsea Harden! She showed up everyday with her big bubbly, beautiful personality and drove us around over 18 acres filled with exotic animals that you could feed, pet and watch from a very close proximity! She explained in great detail the specifics to all of the different species. She was knowledable and passionate about everything she does on the ranch! We witnessed a birth of a zebra right nearby! We fed carrots to a very pregnant giraffe and even saw the baby kicking! We learned about military tankers (photo op) and shot a .50 caliber gun on a shooting range. Skeet shooting, 4-wheeler tour, dinosaur tracks, cave exploring, and water activities to name a few! Chelsea taught us SO many IMPORTANT values about animals and history! We were truly blessed to have her as our guide! There were other staff members who also deserve recognition! Alana, Chico, Brandy, Chef Kay, and Sonia up front worked tirelessly to show our group an AMAZING time while we were there. The Property has SO many wonderful amenities for Adults and children! It's clean and comfortable and most of all... They make you feel like family there! Please don't hesitate to book a few nights or more at The Ox Ranch! Chelsea Harden-Keep doing what you do BEST! We Love you SO much because you're the "Jane Goodall" of the Ranch! They are truly lucky to have you! We were even luckier!! XO-The Beatrice Bradley Travel Group!

The owner could have not picked a better Chef. Executive Chef Milas and team accommodated our every need. Every single dish was amazing! Dinning at OX Ranch deserves a 5 star rating...let that be very Clear! The cabins have all the bells and whistles (5 star). You simply can not complain about the detail and comfort that went into this property, it's perfect. It is mandatory that you have a tour guide. Our tour guide Ross, was the kindest person, definitely felt safe and as if he is family. Okay me and my two children have traveled all around the world together, to some of the poorest countries and richest, that have all been rich in love and given a since of belonging. With that being said.... The check out process is horrible! -5 stars. Chief Operating Officer Angela tried to intimidate me with her tone and posture. When I choose not to do the Recommend tip. Me and my 2 children booked an (All Exclusive Stay!) Total of 2 nights which equaled $4500 + $130 tax. My total for 2 nights $5030 including tax and tip... I choose to give. The Recommended tip for your tour guide is $450, the Recommended tip for your dining experience is $150 and Recommended tip for housekeeping is $30. My budget for OX Ranch was $5000. My tip was $400 which brought my to a total of $5030. This stay was for my sons 18th birthday that had also gotten accepted to his 1st choice college University of Western Washington. I was so proud to be in a place in my life to celebrate his accomplishments. Chief Operating Officer Angela raised her voice and basically was demanding I pay the Recommended tip. Again me and my 2 children have been all around the world and have never been pushed into a corner over a tip. Chief Operating Officer Angela, Ruined our experience!

These stables are right up the road from my parents house, and we have always driven past them as we go into Concan/Leaky. We finally decided to book a ride with Elm Creek Stables and are happy that we did! They made sign-in very easy, the ride started on time, the horses were well behaved and nicely groomed, and our guides were very sweet. The gentleman leading the ride stopped along the way to pickup old horseshoes and let my little kiddos keep them as souvenirs. They were so excited. The ride itself gives very beautiful views of the valley, and they have added cute faces to trees and signs along the trail to give it that "touristy trail ride" feel. After the ride ended, the kiddos got popsicles and we walked around and took a look at the other animals. They had a newborn miniature pony, a pig, a blind axis deer, bunnies, and many many horses. We will definitely be back again in the future.

My boyfriend and I were able to come a little early, so the guides could take us on a more advanced ride at a higher elevation. Morgan and Allison were great guides considering how young they are (14 and 15). They easily navigated a beautiful path that they hadn't gone on in about a month. The views were gorgeous, and much of the trail was shaded. The horses were calm, but definitely have their own distinct personality. The ride was about 90 minutes long, and very affordable for the 2 of us. Overall, we were pretty lucky we got to go on such a beautiful ride with just the 4 of us--a very memorable experience. I look forward to visiting Elm Creek again on our next family vacation to the Frio.

The DriveTanks guys that assisted us, Riley, Riley and Gabriel were all super-knowledgeable and helpful and made some great recommendations and provided advice on how to use the various weapons and platforms we rented. Highlights were the PAK40, firing the Sherman, the high-speed course run on the Leopard (who knew you could drift a tank?), the Ma Deuce and of course the flamethrower. Huge array of automatic weapons to choose from and chose we did. Ammo is reasonably priced and I suggest getting more than you expect as you rip through it. I would 100% recommend a visit and would certainly return with a group again.
