C.R., Odessa, TX
"The truest form of a getaway! 5 STARS! If you want to get out of Texas without leaving Texas, this place is the perfect spot. Circle H Lodge is in a very secluded area that makes you feel like you're on your very own island. The homeowners are the sweetest, so that's a big plus too."
We had a wonderful time, despite the epic flood we really enjoyed the Ranch and loved remembering coming up here as kids!

This is just what we needed to get a break from Quarantine Life. What an amazing change of scenery! We loved spotting wildebeest and zebras on the Mimi’s Mountain lookout hike and also had a great time hiking and swimming at Garner State Park. Relaxing at night was perfect – had a blast jumping into the pool using the rope swing, grilling out back, drinks in the cantina, and roasting marshmallows for s’mores in the fire pit. This place is an incredible treasure. Thank you so for sharing it, Jen & John!

Circle H Ranch and Lodge - Texas Hill Country Lodging and Ranch Operations

Dear Harwood family and staff, How can we thank you enough at this difficult time in the world, to welcome us into your amazing lodge. We feel truly blessed to have found you. The Lodge is so charming and full of whimsical character. It has all the comforts of home with a few differences. We would never expect a visit from a zebra or wildebeest. As animal lovers, we were so delighted to see the variety of exotic animals. We also watch the baby birds in the small next on the porch and of course the hummingbirds! We were only here three days but could have stayed a month. Once our daughters feel safer in the world, we will definitely come back with our family. Thank you again for a time we will always remember and want to experience again. Your hospitality was much needed. God bless you and keep you safe.

It can be hard to get away from it all sometimes, but when we come here we are able to just enjoy family and being together. We can’t wait to come back next year as our family continues to grow.

I booked the Circle H Lodge for my group of young urban professionals and it was everything we wanted for a Texan Memorial Day weekend. The ranch is majestically tucked away between sets of steep hills next to Garner State Park, the perfect setting for an escape from the city. We were appreciative of the upkeep of the animal ranch, trails, natural spring pool, the cantina, and of course the lodge itself. We had 10 guests and still had plenty of room for more. The lodge was spacious, extremely clean, well-appointed, and had plenty of room for indoor and outdoor activities and big group dinners. Although it rained for much of the weekend, we still managed to hike one of the steep hills, swim in the natural pool, explore the property, barbecue, and play yard games. Because of the rain, we made good use of the cantina at night. This is a very special property and Jen made the booking and preparation processes flawless; she was amazingly helpful and thoughtful, especially considering the historic flooding this area had to deal with during Memorial Day weekend

I just wanted to let everyone know what a special place this is to rent. You really feel as though you might be in another country with all the free roaming wildlife and the pet deer in the yard. The pool is heavenly with the fresh spring water flowing through the pool. The hammocks, washer pit, BBQ areas, fire pit in the yard is huge and perfect for smores, fishing, hiking. There is so much to do at this property that you cant fit it all in. The pictures just cant do enough to describe this place. We even came back in the fall to see the leaves changing colors. It was magnificent. Thank you so much for the memories and we will be back that's for sure. Recommended for families, small children, adults, romantic get away.

I just want to brag about your lodge and property. I have not been there since it became your business but my family and I lived there for 16 years when it was owned by the JH Rose Truck Line out of Houston . My former husband moved there when he was 6 years old. His parents ran the guest ranch from 1945 until his Dad passed away in 1963. My husband and our family moved back there in 1964 and left in 1980 when the ranch was sold. We have lots of great memories of that place. It is so beautiful and peaceful there. I am so glad you are sharing it with other people. F.R. Feb. 26, 2011.

I was thrilled when the kids wanted to go back to the Circle H Lodge again. Its so beautiful and we can let the kids run around without having to worry about strangers.

We'll definitely be back. L.S. Dallas TX July 2010

Thank you for helping me pick out some animals for my ranch. The animals we picked with your advice are doing well and are now having babies.

You have helped us through an emotional rollercoaster when we started having problems with some of our animals.

A great place to stay for families with school-aged children. We were truly impressed by the beauty and seclusion of the property as well as the warmth and friendliness of the ranch staff and their family. Our children played for hours in the beautiful spring-fed pool and enjoyed feeding the exotic animals. We told stories around the bonfire pit and generally enjoyed the warmth and comfort of the magnificent home. We can't stop telling our friends about the highlight of our Spring break Trip to Texas (better than SeaWorld or the Riverwalk). We look forward to finding another opportunity to return.

We had a wonderful time at the ranch! The house was beautiful. We were welcomed by the friendly ranch hands and a visit from the owner. The property is perfect for quiet time, long walks, and cooling off at the spring fed (a little chilly) pool. The animals are an extra treat! Many thanks for the hospitality and company.

Sight unseen, we rented this property for our annual family pilgrimage to the Hill Country, this year with our sons' college roommates from Seattle and Montreal. We were captivated by the beautiful landscape, the large and comfortable lodge, and most of all, the virtual Noah's Ark of free-range hoofstock (with hundreds of photos to prove it). Rugged hiking in the hills, swimming in the picturesque natural pool, and star-gazing around the bonfire pit, all were among the best experiences we've had in 30 years of visiting the Frio Canyon area. Our guests were thrilled with their first experience of Texas - and intend to return for more R&R at Circle H Lodge.
