About the Owner
The owners of The Ridgway Retreat are two Texas based families. What started as a dream about a way to beat the Texas heat and enjoy the mountains during the summer months became a reality during a road trip several years ago when one of the families was driving through and stopped for dinner at a local restaurant. After dinner and a charming stroll through Hartwell Park the deal was sealed. It was love at first sight. The remainder of the road trip was canceled as we stayed to scope out the area. Ridgway met all of the things we were looking for in a vacation home and then some! So welcome to our little slice of heaven which is a true retreat for our families, as we hope it is for yours.
