We are excited to announce the Grand Opening of “Just Yakin’ Kayak Rentals and Delivery” in Marble Falls. We fell in love with kayaking a long time ago. The ability to be so close to the water without the sounds and smells of a motor is a wonderful thing. Sometimes we kayak to get an incredible workout and other times we do it for a leisurely stroll, admiring the homes and beauty of the shoreline. We have three young children and look forward to all the memories we will make on our kayaks!

Just Yakin’ is here in the Highland Lakes area to provide you with hours of paddling fun. We will deliver our kayaks to your vacation spot or to your home, so you can take it with you on your next vacation. We have sit-on-top singles and tandem kayaks. Our kayaks are very stable and perfect for beginner and intermediate paddlers. You rent…we deliver. It’s that easy to get your YAK on!

Consider renting a kayak for your next vacation at the lake, for your next birthday party, for a trip down a river or to the coast. Kayaking is a family friendly sport that is gaining a lot of popularity for a good reason. We also offer gift certificates…reserve online or by phone.

THE TERRACE GRILL WILL BE CLOSED FOR DINNER ONLY ON SAT., MAY 29TH
Dear Friends of Riven Rock Ranch,

Unfortunately, for we 'foodies,' The Terrace Grill will be closed for dinner only on Sat., May 29th to accommodate a wedding. Happily, this should be the last time we're closed for a wedding this summer. We genuinely appreciate those of you who regularly return to dine with us, and we hope this doesn't inconvenience you too much. We will be open for dinner Memorial Day weekend on Friday and Sunday, and for lunch on all three days. Hope to see you soon!

Chris, Elaine and the entire crew at Riven Rock Ranch


“As travelers we’ve all discovered a place so wonderful that its worthiness is obvious. And sometimes that place is so experiential that superlatives don’t do it justice; you just have to be there to know. These sights, properties and experiences get our highest rating. . . .”
Grape Vines Galore!

Over a relatively frantic three to four days starting on the 10th of May, Chris and his crew finished installing the irrigation system and planted just over 1800 grape vines. Some of you know that we planted some later in the summer last year, but due to drought and hot weather they didn’t thrive, so we’ve started over. So far, so good! We had overcast days the beginning of the week that kept the baby plants cool, and then we had a couple of inches of rain for their thirsty little selves. We're thrilled they are all getting a good start and we anticipate harvesting some Tempranillo and Viognier grapes in the future!

New Summer Menus to be Introduced Friday, June 4th
We are going to be tempting you soon with some exciting new menu items for summer at The Terrace Grill. Even though we have unique specials every weekend, it’s nice to change things from time to time. So, the first weekend in June, you will notice some brand new items ‘in’ and a few of the older items ‘out’ for awhile. It’s always fun for Joseph and his crew to do some different things, and he always has excellent ideas.

Along with the menu changes, we will be having some fun, light & refreshing Summer Wine Specials. This is our restaurant manager, Bonnie’s, specialty and she’s very enthusiastic.


Congratulations to Our Two Special Employees who will Graduate from Comfort High School on June 4th, 2010!!

Carolina has earned marvelous scholarships which will pay for her continuing education. She will be attending nursing school at Schreiner University in Kerrville and expects to earn her degree to be a Registered Nurse. Shkynah plans to attend UTSA in the fall, but will spend some time traveling abroad to Italy beforehand.
