If you want to be physically comfortable out in the countryside and yearn for quiet and beautiful starry nites, XBar Ranch is the place. I felt more like I was at a friend's vacation home than at a business, not in small part due to the pleasant greeting from Christy, mother of the owner. When I was there, I had... More

We stayed for 3 days for a West Texas family reunion. It is only about an hour drive from San Angelo, TX where many family members live so it was a perfect location. It is far from stores and gas so be sure to fill up and bring what you need to avoid too much extra driving. The area is... More

We went on a West Texas road trip for Spring Break, and found X-Bar Ranch through the Caverns of Sonora website. If you're planning a trip to the caverns, X-Bar Ranch is very convenient. It's tucked back a little bit off the highway, so that it's incredibly quiet. We arrived after normal business hours, and called the owners, who told... More

This is a long review but exceptional places deserve the time required to write about them. We took a trip to the San Angelo Texas area and intended to spend the weekend there visiting someone at Goodfellow AFB. The final decision on whether to go was only a week before the trip. I was looking for hotels in town and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Round House at X Bar Ranch. It was a welcome, secluded, refreshing change from the big city! The house was really wonderful with the large window looking out onto the landscape. The most fun came from watching all the birds and animals come to drink from the tank of water just outside...

We stayed 2 nights in Mexico Linda room while on a trip to Sonora Caverns. Fantastic stay although words will be hard to describe this place. Incredibly friendly and helpful family owns this ranch and apparently has for generations. If being in the middle of nowhere in comfort is appealing, this Ranch is perfect. They have ipod hookup, modern and... More
