We had a wonderful family gathering to celebrate my mum's birthday at Jessica's fantastic ranch! Her place was tranquil, cozy and simply beautiful. Jessica was very responsive and also suggested a nearby bakery where we all went for coffee and snacks, which was awesome! She also arranged for the ranch manager to give us a short tour to learn about the history of the property and the future plan they have which are quite interesting! Surely looking forward to planning another stay in this place which made our family get together memorable!

Great place to unwind for a weekend! The house was clean and has lots of character. Really nice to have plentiful bathrooms and bedrooms. We loved sitting outside, watching the longhorns, and using the sauna. Thanks!

This is such a beautiful home (the pictures don't do it justice!) and it was perfect for our girls weekend! It's a quick 1 hour & 15 minute drive from DC. We hired a driver for wineries one day and a private chef another night and it was so perfect & in a great location. Jessica is also extremely helpful and communicative about the house, local recommendations, and clear check in/check out instructions. We loved every second of our stay at this beautiful ranch! My only regret is that we visited during the winter and couldn't use the pool! We'd love to come back during the summer to take advantage of the outdoor space -- it's so nice and the views are stunning! Though we did use the hot tub which was absolutely amazing. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Jessica!

The Mountain Mama Ranch is something you don’t want to miss! It’s beautiful, peaceful, and so much space available for all to enjoy. A group of friends spending a lovely weekend enjoying the outdoors and nearby activities! We loved being able to see the cows and enjoy the amenities and space the place has to offer! Jessica was a wonderful and responsive host that was able to ensure all our questions were answered and needs were met! 10/10 recommends this place and would come back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
