I traveled there by myself and stayed for a week, and it was absolutely wonderful, so much more than I expected! Everyone at JL Bar Ranch was incredibly attentive and truly went above and beyond to make my time there special. The food was phenomenal, and they were exceptionally considerate about my dietary requests, making every meal both delicious and personal.
The service was of the highest quality, and you can genuinely feel the warmth of Southern hospitality in every interaction. The wine tasting, sunset trail riding and clay target shooting were all so much fun. I highly recommend trying them all! Everyone I met was highly knowledgeable in their area and always willing to go out of their way to make you feel right at home.
This place is a rare gem, and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to everyone at JL Bar Ranch for making my stay so memorable and special!

I came for my first ever solo trip for my birthday. Everything was beautiful. Resort was very clean. Staff was amazing! I did horseback riding, ax throwing and a massage at the spa. Jon and Keith were awesome! Sydney at the main restaurant was so sweet and gave me great conversation. Nicholas was very sweet. I would definitely visit again!
Only cons I had were the pool and hot tub were not working & they didn’t have Netflix. 2 of the main reasons for my getaway but I still had a great time sitting by the pool and relaxing in my room! The views are amazing!

Beautiful property, friendly staff, and excellent food. We had a great time riding horses, eating & drinking in the restaurant, and relaxing by the pool. Went hunting with Heath and tagged my first Axis Buck on a spot and stock hunt. Beautiful country and amazing unique hunting opportunity. We’ll be back!

Our family travelled around the US for 6 weeks in Dec/Jan, we swapped a lot of our plans around so we could experience the JLBar Ranch. We were not disappointed & had such an amazing time!
Beautiful ranch, the room was impeccable, the food was delicious and the staff were attentive and helpful.
A special thanks to Loren for taking us on the ranch tour & spending the day teaching us to shoot. He was so kind & encouraging with our girls & they absolutely loved shooting the rifles!
Cash the horse also stole my little girls heart 💗
Thank you so much, our visit will be one that we will remember forever!

My husband found this spot after I shared the only way I would go hunting with him was if there was a spa involved! Who knew this amazing spot existed?! The resort itself is very well taken care of. The grounds are typical Texas hill country - and the views are stunning from the main lodge. We stayed in the Executive Deluxe Cabin and it’s very well appointed. Extremely quiet! Bedding is very comfortable!! When you get here, plan on parking your car and staying on-site. There is a coffee shop and cute little shop with clothes and such. The image shared is the avocado toast. Try the chicken quesadilla - that was the best item we ate!
Now the spa…. Get a massage by Connie! She is absolutely amazing. This was the best massage I’ve had - ever! And I’ve had a few!
My husband had great luck with Kyle who took him out to get an Axis! He’s looking forward to hunting with him again.
All of the staff are so friendly and personable. Just all around an amazing experience! We will absolutely come back -(which makes my hunting husband very excited)!

JL bar Ranch and Resort takes hospitality and professionalism to another level. Every staff member we interacted with made us feel like family. Everything was perfect, intimate, spotless, detailed, and DELICIOUS.
Gabrielle was one of the best bartenders on the property! She was genuine, personable, hilarious, and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless.
Rebecca at the front desk was always in the right place and literally knew the answer to any question we had.
Jon with the horseback experience was a hoot! He is an excellent horseman, has beautiful animals, and a refreshing personality.
Robbie, the general manager, spoke to us whenever we crossed paths, made us feel like the only guests at the resort, and seamlessly carried genuine conversation.
Roy, the Tequila tasting master, taught us so much about Tequila and gave us a new appreciation for the agave plant.
This resort was an amazing experience! I highly recommend taking a trip to Texas to see this immaculate property and outstanding staff.

The JL Bar Ranch, Resort, & Spa is truly heaven on earth! As a hunters wife, I appreciated being able to relax while my husband did his thing. The ranch took us in and made us feel like family. The staff are genuinely kind people and made us feel welcomed. I ate meals alone while my husband was hunting; staff kept me company with great conversations. The food was to die for!!! You have to try the pecan French toast. I had my first massage and facial at the spa; I have never felt more relaxed. The scenery is breathtaking including special sightings of wildlife. Our room was comfortable and clean. We dream of coming back in the future. Thank you all for everything!
