This was a great location, beautiful views. The house was absolutely beautiful. It needs a few updates (paint, baseboards, water faucets) but it did not detract from our stay.

Our group of 10, a mixture of adults, teenagers and children felt it could not have been more of a hit. The home is beautiful, every detail was taken care of, and we can't wait to come back. As we were leaving, Ben, a 7 year old asked if we could please stay 2 more weeks. He summed it up for all of us!! Thank you Jerry for providing sure an amazing adventure.

The property is well stocked, clean and very spacious. Every person in our group has asked to return for next years trip which breaks a very long tradition of seeking out new places in Texas. Jerry did a great job of communicating and was very accommodating. This is a hidden gem in Texas that is a must visit.

Family Christmas from young to old in our family loved this place. The owners were helpful and communicated with us any time we had questions. Would highly recommend if you want to take family away to spend time together.

Great house! Awesome view and we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend to anyone with a large group.

Big nice house in the middle of nowhere.....great.

Our family of five met grandparents and an uncle here for an early Thanksgiving & hunting trip. The house was perfect for our needs. Spotless, all beds were very comfortable, plenty of room, kitchen well stocked plus the awesome views from the property. No steps on entry level & walk-in shower made it easy for the grandparents. Hope we’re lucky enough to return as it is a great place!

We had to come to west Texas for a funeral. We had 12 family members coming from all over the US and we wanted a place with plenty of room with comfortable beds and space to relax and eat. This place was definitely an adventure loved by all the family. It is at the top of a hill but we had no trouble getting up there with 4wheel drive. Jerry, our host, drove us in when we arrived to make sure we found it. There is a gate with a code. There are lots of animals, and there are cows up around the house at times. They didn’t come near us but there are cow patties. The house is very nice, all the basics are provided. One of the coolest experiences was all the windmills around the property, and the view is so great from up there. Windmills can be seen all over. Master suite is downstairs and all the remaining rooms are upstairs. Lots of space to relax indoors and out. Merkel has a good little grocery and couple places to eat. Abilene is not such a bad drive and a great place to visit. Jerry was very responsive and helpful. It was exactly what we all needed and so much better than a bunch of hotel rooms. Great stay! Thanks, Jerry!

We enjoyed our weekend at this beautiful house. Hope to get their some day. Jerry was great to work with.

This was truly the most beautiful VRBO that we’ve ever rented. The house was out in the country on a safari ranch (we aren’t hunters) but it was off season so we just had peace and quiet. Jerry Wayne and his wife were so welcoming and even followed up with us to see how we had done in the dog show (reason for our visit). I can’t recommend this place enough.

The house is beautiful and immaculately clean. Clean, clean, clean. Very well furnished from comfortable beds to well stocked kitchen. Separate heat/air in the top floor bedrooms is a huge plus. Perfect space for group gatherings. Plenty of beds and bathrooms. Great for family reunion or group retreat. Good internet service despite remote location. The view is amazing! The property is huge. There are some walking trails. But, there are some things I must point out. This house is a solid 45 minutes from Abilene. Definitely a remote location and getting there is not easy with several turns on back country roads. The driveway is long and very steep. Could be treacherous in bad weather. Property manager does try to keep the road graded, but I would hate to be here after a rain storm or in icy conditions. Was happy to have 4WD even in dry weather. Only one bedroom is downstairs. Just keep that in mind if you have older folks in your group who hav issues climbing stairs. There are some repairs needed and manager was in the process of staging several of those when we checked out.

Views were amazing. Beautiful home. Enjoyed a 50th wedding celebration with family.

If you are looking for a place with some space and the ability to get away from people and "city life" this is it! Gorgeous house, LOTS of room. Jerry was so very nice and spent quite a bit of time with the kids telling them about the animals and the ranch. He was a super responsive host, and the place was exactly as described.

The Windmill Game Ranch is an exceptional place to spend a weekend. The house is incredibly beautiful with more than enough space and comfort for a large group. The only thing more impressive than the house is the incredible views of the ranch from the balconies. Jerry was an incredible host and we enjoyed getting to know him. We will definitely be planning more trips to the area just to stay there!

As advertised and hassle free.

The house is truly a hidden gem. We loved the space for the whole family. We had a big thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was amazingly stocked with almost everything we needed. The property itself was beautiful and had amazing views in every direction. Jerry was very friendly and was able to answer any of our needs. Amazing place we really enjoyed our time here!

My husband and I had a great 2-night stay at the lodge. Jerry was very helpful with instructions & directions. We loved the remoteness and the views. We took a nice walk around the property and looked at the windmills up close, and even saw some game (behind the fencing).

Had a great stay at the ranch house! Nice house and very private. No neighbors in site and the views from the balconies are awesome! If you are hunting or having a family reunion i definitely suggest staying here! Just make sure you have everything you need before you arrive bc the closest store is about 20-30 minutes away!

Great place for family to gather and enjoy a family weekend.

Exactly as explained and pictured. Quiet and relaxing stay.
