This house is so awesome. The Smiths a very nice hostesses. Our children loved petting the horses and running around the property. I highly recommend staying here when you are in the Tyler Texas area. We a planning more trips in the near future. Katrina Primeaux

Had a wonderful restful time at Susan and Tim's "Slice of Heaven on Earth!" The property was clean, spacious, and easily accommodated the family. The kitchen was well appointed allowing us to cook family meals. We all enjoyed our porch time whether it was with a cup of coffee or with a book in hand or just gazing at the spectacular sunrise. The fishing was great and we enjoyed feeding the horses. Talking to Susan and Tim about the history of the property was a treat! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place!

This was our 6th yearly stay with the Smiths! Beautiful property and wonderful people !

We truly enjoyed staying out in the countryside of Tyler Texas. Everything about the property was clean and well kept. We enjoyed walking the property and feeding the horses, and viewing the other animals. Our family was close enough to Tyler and other areas to take advantage of everything, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace of the countryside. Susan and Tim are good hosts and good people. Having the Declaration of Independence above the fireplace, as well as the Bible speaks volumes, as too many Americans have forgotten who it is that truly grants us our liberties and our rights. Thank you for your hospitality. We hope to see you again in the future.

Thank you Susan. We loved your place!

Beds were super comfortable with ample room for my family to spread out all weekend

We decided to rent a house North of us to take advantage of a rare Texas snowstorm. Tim and Susan were excellent hosts. We arrived after dark on a cold evening and Susan already had the house nice and warm. We loved sitting by the fireplace after venturing out to play in the snow. Beds and furniture were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks Tim and Susan!

The hosts were gracious and welcoming. The place was very clean and much larger than we expected. Great to watch the horses. Very peaceful place and just what we needed. Thanks, Tim and Susan!

We loved staying at this property. It is put in the country enough but also not far from grocery, restaurants, and things to do. We truly felt like this was a home away from home. We also enjoyed the animals on the property. Susan was very kind and accommodating. It was nicely equipped and comfortable. We look forward to staying again.

Lots of room and the hosts are extremely nice. Very quiet and tranquil place. One slight drawback that it’s next to tollway 49 but I didn’t hear the highway at all when I was inside . I would recommend staying there

The good: We gathered here for Thanksgiving. The large space was great for our needs. Our kids could run around without any worries. The horses are SO sweet and my daughter loved them. Owners are very friendly. The not so good: Bedrooms are connected, but lots of doors to outside. We just locked the door in between and the other family walked around. Our first 2 nights there was a strong sewer smell, only at night/early morning then it went away. I’m guessing from the septic, but could be something else. It didn’t happen the 3rd night so not sure if they got it fixed or what. They only provide 2 trash bags, which for 8 people on thanksgiving wasn't near enough - I find this a little silly just because it can make it harder for guests to clean up. We got our own and finished the job - just make sure you bring extras with you. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the beautiful view and would consider staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Ranch House. The house was very comfortable and just as described. The full moon rising over the trees was beautiful each night.

We visit Tyler every October for the children's remembrance ceremony at the children's park of Tyler. This is the only place we could imagine staying! Tim and Susan are like family to us ! The property is amazing! We enjoy vacating the crazy life of Houston and coming out here to the country. Bonfires every night we stay !

Though close to the busy highway, the peace and quiet drowned out the traffic noise. Loved watching the horses. Got to see cowboys working the cattle. The fire pit is perfect. Big, roomy And very comfortable cabin. The open meadow view is incredible! Thank you for allowing us to bring our puppies! They had a blast!

Such a nice peaceful place to stay. My parents, my kids and I really enjoyed it here. My kids loved roaming and visiting the animals.

Nice country house. We had a great time. Very clean. Baby cows were the greatest!! 30 min trip to canton flea market. Family has a great relaxing time here.

We really enjoyed our stay. One recommendation is to upgrade the grill. It was small for the size of group we had and needed cleaned to provide better gas flow. The place was perfect for our group. We really enjoyed being outside

This place was perfect for our getaway! My husband and I are animal lovers. We loved being able to look out the window and see the cattle and horses. We had the chance to pet horses and sweet dogs! The house is so cute and comfy! It is wonderfully clean. The pictures don’t do it justice. We would love to come back with our kids.

I’ll be back!!

We had a great time social distancing! Great house, beautiful scenery and gracious hosts.

We loved our stay. We where able to relax in the amazing house. Feeding the horses carrots and apples just outside the doors was such an amazing surprise.we wi definitely come back Thanks Susan and Tim

My favorite experience was sitting outside the porch and enjoying the horses, meadow and beautiful trees. Good time to meditate and talk with God.

Quiet location for a quick getaway. We had a great time.

The property owners were really good about communication and very pleasant to work with.

We have family in Tyler Texas and this was an excellent place to stay. So clean, updated and decorated. Plus the pleasure of country life watching the horses and cows. Such a treat for us since we are from a city - St. Louis. It was a great place to gather with my family and visit. We had a great time. Susan was so pleasant and enjoyed talking with her. We want to do it again next year.

We enjoyed our stay in this amazing home. We were there for Thanksgiving and a mini-family reunion. It was nice to have extra beds and a spacious living room. The property was a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel. We will stay here the next time we are visiting the area. Thank you for a perfect holiday weekend!

Great house great people amazing property

We love it here ! This is our fourth stay with Susan and Tim! Off the beaten path out in the country yet still very close to everything !

We loved our stay!!!
