The Ranch at Walston Springs is a unique rustic retreat offering Bed and Breakfast Accommodations, Event Facilities, Cabins and Corporate/Extended Stay Housing. We are family owned and family operated offering modern conveniences while honoring a past era where life was simple, hospitality was mandatory, land was treasured, and family/friends/guests were always welcome. The Ranch is conveniently located just 3 miles south of Historic Palestine (approx. 2 hours from Dallas or Houston). Other nearby attractions include The Texas State Railroad, Davey Dogwood Park, and Historic Old Town

From the moment you drive on the property, you’ll find “country landscaping”. Peach trees, wild grape vines, & our “little piggy pen” line the front drive. Enjoy a stroll around the property and you’ll find antique “garden beds” filled with vegetables, The Model-T surrounded by flowers, rustic tractors, farm implements, and eclectic décor. Cast a line in the spring fed lake, exchange vows or host an event in our 1927 Chapel or just sit a spell in the rocker on the front porch and enjoy nature’s beauty.

If you’re looking for the perfect, country location let The Ranch at Walston Springs host your next stay in the area or your special event for a truly memorable experience.

If you are looking for a charmingly, rustic location for your upcoming wedding or special event, The Ranch at Walston Springs is ideal. Our beautiful venues will only add to the wonderful memories that are waiting to be made with your family and friends. We offer your choice of indoor/outdoor venues for your special event.

If you’re looking for a get away in the country, The Dogtrot House is the perfect place for you.

The Ranch at Walston Springs offers a unique Bed and Breakfast experience. We are not your typical B&B located in an Victorian House in a downtown area. The Dogtrot has only 3 rooms, in a separate building from the rest of the property. Each of our rooms offer a unique theme, a glimpse of days gone by, and a truly one-of-a-kind experience. 

Kick back and relax on the porch, enjoy a cold drink. Get away from it all. 

Nothing fancy here, just southern hospitality and good home cookin’. 

Each of our B&B rooms offer over 200 channels of Satellite television and free WIFI access.
