We have two guest houses, two primitive camp sites and 1,000 acres. 

Screens, shovels and digging tools are provided. You keep what you find. 

 Everyone must sign a Release of Claims and Waver of Liability.  

If you can't stand the sight of a spider, scorpion or perhaps a mouse, stay somewhere else.



 Bring your camera.    

  You can drive to the Cabin, Manor and Creek in a regular car.

If you want to explore all the ranch, a pickup or vehicle with more ground clearance is recommended.

Cabin on Comanche Creek or Mason Mountain Manor?

HOW TO CHOOSE

The Cabin on Comanche Creek is not far from US 87 and is closer to Mason. 

Mason Mountain Manor, 2 1/2 miles from the highway, peaceful and more remote, is the place to stay if you REALLY want to get away

• Answer questions
• Give you maps
• Take your money 
• And tell you to have a wonderful time.
