From the reviews
Convenience led me to 6S the first time. Total awesomeness and fantastic people keep me coming back! My daughters attend Baylor University and I wanted an excursion close to campus. We hunted, rode horses, experienced the fossil rich landscape of Texas hill country.
Mr. Steven’s has created an amazing high fence ranch! His attention to detail, level of professionalism, and catering to his guests is UNMATCHED. By far the best high fence ranch that I have been to, not to mention it’s only hours away from Dallas and Austin TX.
Had the hunt of a lifetime with 6s River Ranch staff Tyler, Cat, and Shane couldn’t have been better .Tyler and cat some of the best guides I’ve ever experienced in hunting the conditions of the hunt were hard with high temps and weery axis. They put every effort in and we got it done.
Definitely the best high fence exotic ranch I’ve been to. The accommodations included very nice lodging and an even nicer club house. Shane was a very welcoming host and Tyler did a great job showing us all the animals around the property.
Getting married at 6S River Ranch
6S River Ranch comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at 6S River Ranch
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at 6S River Ranch — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
