At night, the brights lights are good because it keeps the place lighted, but it does shine directly in your eyes if you're in the car. You can stop in the Valero for bathroom break and snacks. The charge is free though, so awesome.

It is one of the smallest Buc-ee's, but large enough to have all the snacks available for your trip. Needless to say, the whole establishment is spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly.

Every pre-made food item we grabbed was terribly over-sauced. Quality seems to have dropped significantly. The bagged popcorn I bought expires today and tasted like cardboard. Took one bite of each item of the $48 worth of food we purchased and threw it all away. Extremely disappointed, it seems Buc-ees has decided to cut corners and lower quality. We won't return on road trips again.

This is a review for the Tesla Supercharger - Columbus, TX…read more As others have noted, this Supercharger is a bit tricky to find--it's tucked behind the Baymont by Wyndham, and you won't spot it until you've already passed the location. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind. Charging speed was decent, but if you're traveling with a pet, options are limited. The nearest restaurant, Los Cabos Mexican, doesn't have a dog-friendly patio, so we ended up grabbing food from McDonald's and eating in the car. It would be great to have a sitting area near the chargers or a pet-friendly spot. Glad there's a charging stop in the area, but knowing the limited options, I might hold out for the next set of Superchargers next time.

This charger was hard to find behind the hotel, I passed it up and had to turn around. Wish I would…read morehave read the reviews first! They only have 5 stations and when I arrived only one was available. Little stressful. There are no restrooms or easy accessible food/things to do. I came with a battery at 12% and charged to 100%.

Well, "I drive an electric car!" and as a card-carrying crunchy granola hippie, I just **love** that we have a DC fast charger and a few other green gimmicks at this stretch of 2nd street now called Electric Drive in downtown's newly rechristened "Seaholm Ecodistrict". Besides being able to completely recharge my car in 30 minutes via stored wind-generated power (heck, that barely gives me time to do the 3-mile loop on the trail from across the adjacent Pfluger Bridge), I can hang out at the cool shaded kiosk by Sol Design Lab and charge up my phone via solar panels. If you're not a runner/walker/biker or people watcher, you can also park & charge via slower (4 hour) Level 2 ports while shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's or dining at Boiler 9 or True Food. Soon we'll also have that gorgeous new Central Library open next door, too. From the Austin Energy press release from the opening in March 2017, "Electric Drive is powered entirely by renewable energy. Electric Drive offers dedicated parking for two electric vehicle charging stations including a fast-charging DC port, and a solar-powered kiosk that can recharge electric bikes, scooters, motorcycles, laptops and mobile devices using integrated USB ports and electrical outlets. The kiosk, located alongside the Butler Hike & Bike Trail, also provides shade from the sun's rays during the day, and LED lighting at night. Electric Drive demonstrates Austin Energy's commitment to the growing electric vehicle market and renewable energy." More about the launch (with video) is available here: http://www.twcnews.com/tx/austin/news/2017/03/27/austin-energy-unveils-electric-drive.html The docking of a star has to do with the fact that #1, you have to pay to park in the metered spots every day but Sunday (even though the EV charging service is free), and #2, this station is notorious among EV drivers for being out of service more often than not. Austin is still growing and figuring out how to make this infrastructure work; they still have some work to do. When the station is down, call 1-888-758-4389 (mentioning Chargepoint charger #5DB2) for assistance. You can also try this map of other COA PlugIn EVerywhere network chargers around town http://austinenergy.com/wps/portal/ae/green-power/plug-in-austin/electric-vehicle-drivers/electric-vehicle-drivers . There are 250 almost free (you have to pay $25 every 6 months for the keychain access card/dongle) charging stations in Austin's network (and still others at stores like Whole Foods and Walgreens), so don't lose hope if you're low on juice! We gonna rock down to... Electric Ave... er, Drive. Dang it! They really missed an opportunity here. Poor Eddy Grant will be getting no royalties on this one.

I had an amazing time staying here for the weekend. We rented the roost and we're so happy because…read morewe were able to have the mini cows, Clifford, Honey and Maple, in our yard for overnight stays. We also had the baby lambs and were even able to feed them their bottles. I can't forget about Sourdough the goat. She is super adorable. The room was comfortable. It had a kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms with a total of four beds. I loved the bed. The mattress was soft and super comfortable. The kitchen had the essentials. They do provide beach towels. We did have to ask for more towels for the shower. They do also have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There is a hairdryer in the room. The ranch is big with a lot of animals to see. The animals are well taken care of by the friendly staff members. The petting zoo is a great place to take your family into. The animals are all friendly and get along well. They have activities you can partake in for a fee, but if you spend more than two nights in the rooms some are included. The beach area was very nice. It was clean and the water was perfect. They have plenty to keep your kids entertained in the beach area. The pool was nice as well. It had a hot tub. You could rent a golf cart, but the ranch is pretty walkable. They do sell food during the day and you can order a three course meal for dinner. The three course meal can be eaten in your room or at Flo. You can take your own bottle of wine to Flo if you want to eat your meal there. We did the dinner and got the steak, the salmon and the eggplant Parmesan. The salmon was a hit. I will say that I think the meal was pre- package or pre prepared because it wasn't as fresh coming out. They do have a spa, but be aware that it can book up pretty quick. We were not able to get a reservation for massages. They do send you a link to set up your extras prior to your visit, so if you are looking forward to something, get ahead of time. They sell their own honey and you can buy a dozen eggs for five dollars. We received a welcome gift of honey and sourdough bread. We ate the first day we were there and it was delicious. They also have complementary snacks and drinks in the check-in area for guest. They did have a food truck area where they sell items such a as chicken tenders, fries, and ice cream. We were told there was 160 people on the property yet it felt peaceful and private the whole time we were there. I was truly in heaven,. I would not hesitate to return. Definitely a great place for families or weekend with your girlfriends.

We stayed in the newest addition and the rooms were exquisite. The only downside was the construction that was going on during our stay, which took away a bit from the relaxation. There is a restaurant on site, which is convenient, although not the most affordable option. The property is only about 20 minutes from Brenham, so going into town for other dining options was easy. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we will definitely be back.
