The space
Escape to Dickinson Bayou Ranch, where peaceful ranch living meets quiet Texas charm. This private guesthouse on our 60-acre working horse ranch features vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, a fully equipped kitchenette, a cozy bedroom with a sliding barn door, and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Wake up to sweeping views of the pond, fountain, and horseback riding arena. Spend slow mornings with coffee or relaxing evenings on the porch enjoying the peaceful country setting. Guests are welcome to stroll the orchard, explore the greenhouse, visit the horse barn, or enjoy the open ranch views along more than 1,000 feet of Dickinson Bayou frontage.

As an active ranch, you may see horses, longhorns, donkeys, pigs, and other friendly animals during your stay. The gated property and half-mile private drive offer privacy and seclusion, while still being conveniently located less than 10 minutes from I-45, Tanger Outlets, restaurants, and shopping. Kemah Boardwalk, Galveston beaches, and the cruise terminal are just a short drive away—making this the perfect ranch getaway or relaxing stay before or after your Galveston cruise.

Guest access
The guesthouse is left unlocked for your arrival, and a key will be provided for the duration of your stay.

Other things to note
Dickinson Bayou Ranch is a working horse ranch, so you may see and hear horses, longhorns, pigs, donkeys, and other animals during your stay—this is all part of the authentic ranch charm. Guests are welcome to explore designated areas of the property and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, but for safety please do not feed the animals or enter any animal enclosures.

Fishing in Dickinson Bayou is catch-and-release unless otherwise discussed. The gated property features a half-mile private driveway, providing privacy and a quiet country atmosphere.

Cell service is generally good, and Wi-Fi is available in the guest house. This is a peaceful countryside retreat designed for relaxation, nature, and enjoying the ranch—rather than parties or large gatherings.

Born in the 80s
Where I went to school: Floydada
I’m a husband, dad to our 8-year-old son Pierson, and a rancher at heart. My husband Greg and I live on a working horse ranch south of Houston, where we balance busy careers with family, animals, and community. We love travel, the outdoors, good food, and welcoming people. Home to us means warmth, care, and making others feel comfortable.
