Beaumont Ranch

A delightful surprise in planning this one night retreat for my husband’s birthday. Found a quit and peaceful spot only an hour away in the country. A slice of western feel and a view across a pond to seat outside our room as a cool breeze swept through. The room was charming and the king size poster bed was very comfortable. The pillows were also comfortable and we slept great. It is not your top of the line luxury hotel but it checked all our boxes. We swam in the lovely pool and just relaxed. There is a Keurig in the room and a fridge. No ice bucket but all you have to do is ask along with a hair dryer if needed. We loved our stay and plan to come again.

This was one of the most baffling places we've ever stayed; and we travel a great deal. We liked it, but....l'm just gonna list the pros and cons and people can decide for themselves. Pros: - Room was beautiful, spacious, fairly clean, with updated bathrooms. - Beautiful, well-maintained decor. - Fantastic tub. - Nice, rain shower head. - Nice balcony with beautiful view. - Fun, little old west town set up. - Plenty of room to walk around outside. - Peaceful and quiet; felt safe. - Keurig coffee machine with Starbucks coffee pods in rooms. - Refrigerator in room. - Large, flat-screen TV in room with DirecTV. - Free wifi. - Staff is very personable, and very, very friendly, and very helpful. We enjoyed visiting with them. - We didn't have to ask for fresh towels; they asked and brought them. - We had one issue and they were on it immediately, and had it fixed. - We really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony to drink our coffee. - In it's heyday, this place must have been a beautiful sight to behold. Cons: - Expensive considering the current state of the buildings and grounds. - Cafe is shuttered - No microwave in room. - Pulled out one of the trundle beds and apparently sheets had not been changed - a false fingernail and dried "body fluid" - thankfully, we didn't need that bed. No, we didn't say anything - it was about 11 at night and staff not there, so we just pulled off those sheets to make sure they get changed, and closed the trundle bed back up. All the other beds were clean. - The outside is in varying states of disrepair - there were broken/moldy lawn furniture in various places, old disconnected A/C unit outside of one of the buildings; garbage cans with old garbage - top of one was full of water and cigarette butts. - Trash scattered here and there (to be fair, there was also a 1500 person mud run going on in the adjacent field, so...) - Parts of the grounds are overgrown with weeds. - The majority of the buildings/windows were covered with accumalated dirt/dust/dead bugs on the outside. - All the outside tables had either dirt, dust or dead bugs. - Outside walkways and door rugs looked at if it had not been swept, or cleaned with a blower, for a very long while - accumulated dirt in various places. - I'm not sure what happened to this place, but it looked as if years ago, in the middle of a very busy day, that all activity had suddenly came to a screeching halt and everything was then left just as it was. I took a bunch of photos of all pros and cons, but no point in posting. We have very mixed feelings about the place. Thing to know before you go: - Rooms have tankless water heaters so water has to run a bit before getting hot. - Dollar Store is about 2 miles up the road. - No source of food located on the ranch. - No microwave in room. My opinion: This place could be fabulous with just a little TLC and grounds upkeep. The room seemed to be very updated, with new toilet, shower, etc, so I'm hoping they are in the process of tryin
