"11 Sleepy Small Towns in Texas Where Things Never Seem to Change."

  "Do you ever wish life could slow down sometimes? Do you ever wish you could stop and enjoy the simple things in life more often?" 

 "Originally a stronghold against Native American troops, Mason was officially incorporated in 1858. Today, it has a population of about 2000 and a rich culture that can only be found in West Texas.

Between rock climbing, antiquing, the oldest movie theater within hundreds of miles, and natural topaz that can't be found anywhere else in Texas, Mason sure packs a punch for being such a tiny town."

Mason was listed as NUMBER ONE!

Do not follow GPS directions if it takes you south of Mason. The Lindsay Ranch is north of Mason on U.S. 87.

   We want you to enjoy your visit, so, if you cannot stand the sight of a spider, a scorpion or perhaps a mouse, stay somewhere else; the Lindsay Ranch is NOT the place for you.

A vehicle that is higher off the ground than a regular car is recommended if you want to explore all of the ranch.

A recent guest wrote about her visit. 

A Rockin’ Good Time

 We came to stay, we stayed to play,

 and now it’s time to go away.

 Our spectacular earth which gave us birth,

 has gems galore if you just explore.

 A walk, a hike, or something like

  a well-dug hole to soothe your soul.

  A sky-blue sky and bright sunlight

  and feathered friends in eternal flight.

 These all are found in air, on ground

  and all around, if you come on down

  to the Lindsay Ranch near Mason town.

 You won’t regret your country trek

  to the land of rocks and gems, et cet.

  So dig, and scratch, and sift and fetch,

  and head for home with your glorious catch.

  More amazing a trip you’ll never take

   And don’t forget to bring the rake.

   Your banana bread is ready to bake

   and better memories you will never make!

More about Mason Mountain Manor:

 You will be driving 2 1/2 miles on a dirt road. It is a good dirt road, but it might be muddy. 

There are two gates to open and close. 



 The large porch provides a relaxing outside living area plus a wonderful view. 

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

You can hike and explore or just observe the wildlife, look at the stars and listen to the birds.  

Many guests bring bird seed or corn; then they sit back and watch what comes up for free snack.

Once you get to the Manor, you won't want to leave.
