Cabin on Comanche Creek 

A vehicle with more ground clearance than a small car is recommended if you want to explore the entire ranch.

The Lindsay Ranch is NOT the place for you if you can't stand the sight of a spider, a scorpion or perhaps a mouse.  

Cabin or Manor? How to choose? 

The Cabin is closer to Mason.

The Manor is more remote. It is the place to stay if you REALLY want to get away.

There are two gates to open and close. 



 There are tables, chairs and a hammock on the large porch. 

There is a gas grill, fire pit and a wood/charcoal grill.  

Hike, explore, observe the wildlife, look at the stars or listen to the birds.  

Many guests bring bird seed or corn and enjoy watching what comes up for free snack.

STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW



Ranch Entrance 

Five miles north of the courthouse on US 87.

Coming from Mason, the entrance is on the left.  

The gate is closed to keep the cattle in; not to keep people out!

Drive through the gate, fasten it, and follow the signs to check in. 

  

We will show you rocks and artifacts that have been found on the ranch, give you maps and tell you to have a wonderful time.  Clay and Deloris Lindsay on Mason Mountain when we were younger and the grass was green.
