Oak Meadow Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing adventure! Book the Tranquility Cabin and the Serenity Slot experience! We’re still on a high from this experience! It was an absolutely amazing adventure that exceeded every single one of our expectations. The entire process was seamless and incredibly well-organized. The guides/hosts were phenomenally knowledgeable, patient, and full of infectious energy that made the day even more special. It balanced pure excitement with wonderful hospitality, leaving both of us completely captivated. It was genuinely a life-disrupting, beautiful memory that we will treasure forever. Don't even hesitate—just book it! For us, we’re looking forward to arranging to bring more family with us next time for a possible giraffe adventure! Thank you again Oak Meadow Ranch for such a one-a-lifetime adventure!"

The Lancaster Manor B&B

10/10 Excellent

"You will not find a better couple to host you and you will not find a place with more character than this mansion. Everything was perfect from the check in to the food. We will be back!"

Budget Host Motel Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Every\nThing was excellent, clean room.Good parking , good air conditioner , nice staff"

King Ranch -Stay with Puzzles and Jigsaw the Giraffe

8/10 Good

"we did a monday to friday stay at the king ranch suite, which was an amazing experience. The whole property was also a cool experience with a whole array of animals to interact with. They had a nice outdoor pool which was a 5 minute walk from the room, but not too bad. Staff nice also. No complaints at all, except lack of food/beverages options on the property, you need to basically order uber eats and everything is far away and doesnt taste good. Maybe do some shopping before you come-they have a fridge in the room so you can store essentials to at least have a basic breakfast. Great place to stay for a day, max 2 days; we definitely overdid it with our 5 days and actually left a day early to have a chance to see Dallas before our flight back. Overall I highly recommend them for a short trip you will have a great experience!"
