I have stayed here several times over the last couple of years. Rocking MJ Ranch is my first phone call when I'm headed to New Braunfels area. This is a family owned B&B and Jo's hospitality is the best you can experience. She works hard to keep the grounds immaculate and provides you with everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay. This time we had squash bread with squash hand picked from her garden. Yummy! We floated the river a couple of times and we were always anxious to get back to our quiet sanctuary. We spent most of our time outside grilling, relaxing in the hot tub and morning coffee on the front porch watching the wildlife. It's so private on this ranch style retreat, it's hard to believe you are minutes from the city. Canyon lake is a hop, skip and jump away. The Horseshoe river float (whitewater sports) is 5 minutes away. HEB and Brookshires are within 5 miles in either direction when you leave the drive way. Gruene is an easy 10 minute drive for shopping, dining and Gruene Hall for music and dancing. Wimberly is 20 minutes away. ||If you are lucky, you may get to view the cross on the hill... Peace of heaven with breath taking views ||Thanks again Jo,...
Read moreThis is the second time my friends and I have stayed at the Rocking MJ and as the previous review states, the website doesn't do it justice!! Ms. Jo is one of the sweetest ladies to ever open up a B&B and her hospitality is one of a kind! From the fresh baked zucchini bread and cinnamon rolls, to the rolling beautiful hills on the property, to the longhorn/goats/white-tailed deer and more, this B&B is the best! There are only two rooms in the little ranch house with a common kitchenette and I recommend to rent both sides and have a great time! There's also a hot tub in the back that, surprisingly, isn't that bad even in the 100 degree heat at night! Not to mention the rocking chairs on the porch that overlook the beautiful scenery! This is the perfect place for either a girls getaway to tube the river as we did or for a romantic getaway or simply a place to go and relax with the family. After a long day on the river or hanging out at Schlitterbahn this is the best place to go back to and relax all by yourselves! And as for cleanliness, you will NOT find a place that is cleaner than this other than your own home...and I'm willing to bet your own home won't be cleaner! And the price...
Read moreI wish I could keep this place a secret, but I can't keep this amazing place all to myself. When we drove in to the ranch itself we couldn't believe that we were actually staying in this place. The trees and grounds were stunning. On our first day we met Jo and she showed us around, introduced us to her sweet puppies and led us into our very clean adorably decorated room. We had fresh baked goods waiting for us in the larger shared kitchen, as well as cereal, pancake sausages on a stick and much more goodies. We walked around, met the goats and donkeys then hiked up a hill on the property that had a stunning view of the lake and the surrounding plateaus. We walked back to the cabin and watched the deer from the front rocking chairs. It was heaven. The air was clean, it was private and yet close to great restaurants, can you say chicken fried steak? My husband said it was the best weekend of his life. And I would have to agree. When we left we went to sign the guest book and almost every page was filled up with hand written thank you's, I read some of them and not only do people come to this place over and over it has become a tradition and a centering...
