About this house rental

Luxurious ranch house awaits you and your Perfect for a family get together, girls or guy retreat, shooting sports trip or even a Romantic Weekend. The Ranch is a great for remote getaway! No outside intervention or contact. Remote check-in.
Located on 165 acres of Texas Hill Country remoteness and sliced through by the James River, the Bar None River Ranch appeals to the outdoor enthusiast who desires privacy. The cool waters of the Goodnight Loving Spring awaits. The ranch is located in southern Mason County in the Hill Country, outside of the historic small towns of Mason and Fredericksburg. The James River runs through the middle of the property. The ranch now has fiber internet making it the perfect place for a corporate retreat.

In the spring, wildflowers abound. In the summer you can cool down in one of the largest springs chutes in the hill country. In the fall just enjoy the crystal clear star filled skies. In the winter the outdoor fireplace will keep you toasty warm. We are only a few hundred yards away from the Eckert Bat Cave one of the true wonders of the Texas Hill Country. At night you will hear coyotes howl at the moon off in the distance!

This is an actively managed wildlife ranch. We seldom mow the main field that surrounds the skeet range as it abounds in wildflowers and is a sanctuary for horn toads and small ground birds. So bring appropriate footwear and clothing.

Watch the sunset from the 10' wide 360 degree wrap around porch or one of the private picnic tables overlooking the river.

There is a nice pavillion that is great to hold an outdoor classroom and our WI-FI is believe are not high speed fiber!

There is a full skeet range with a high and low houses equipped to throw clay targets. (Manual Pull) Plus a full rifle range out to 1000 yards. We also have a small bermed pistol range.

The James River has several small pools were bass and perch can be caught and released.

Located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country the place is just across the James River from the Nature Conservacy's Eckert Bat Cave. The gate is a waist high rock with a cattle gate painted like a Texas Flag. The gate is locate about 100 feet past the rock corral going away from the river on the south side away from Mason. The property is about 50 minutes outside of Fredricksberg and 20 minutes outside of Mason. Please note that from Mason you have 2 shallow river crossings and some dirt roads. This is an active wildlife ranch and we have game cameras around the property all of them are focused on game feeders. Enjoy your stay on this beautiful property!

    This is a wonderful getaway place and we enjoyed our time very much. The place could have been cleaner and better organized, but overall we coped. They need to mow around the house to reduce goat heads and should have cleared the grass and weeds from the picnic area under the tree so we could use it. They could also mow clear pathways to the gun range and target. There were so many dirt dobbers and flies. They could set up traps away from the house instead of on the porch and clean out the wasp traps to maybe help and provide fly swatters. The issues we encountered were disappointing, but not issues everyone may face. We had a baby and 3 small children along with 2 elderly adults. We chose this place due to the gun ranges and water, but access to the water was not feasible for our group. Getting to the "swimming hole" requires a trek along a path through underbrush, trees, and rocks; how you get out of the water safely, we couldn't figure it out so we didn't get in. The trek from the roadway, was all rocks and a long walk. There was no way we could use the all-terrain wagon to get the kids to the water, much less the elderly being able to walk safely along the rocky path. That being said, we did enjoy our stay and made the best of the situation. We thought ahead and brought a water bounce toy and splash pad for the kids and were able to hook those up at the house. Some love and TLC would do this place a lot of good.

    Escape your busy life. Unplug for a few days. Total reset for our family. We had a fire on the porch every night, analyzed all our favorite songs. Enjoyed the remoteness of it all. Saw lots of wildlife, ate like Kings. We weren’t ready to come back to real life. Our host was amazing. Easy check in and check out. This is a good one.

    Quiet, secluded, but an easy drive to Mason or Fredericksburg. Wildlife to watch at night, swimming hole and river chutes to enjoy in the heat. Plenty of room for a large family or group of friends.

    If you want to get away without interruption, this is the place! It is way way off the beaten path. House is great plenty of room - it is in the county except dust to come in and critters outside. there is a TV but bring something to play on it over the wifi - the River crossing deeper than 6" (at least when we came) there is another route that is less washboard and only a lower water wet weather creek crossings (use the use the Fredricksburg directions) the dino bones were great - when they say the back feeder they mean across the river and way way back - the top of the hill back feeder. everyone had a great time including the dog. hiking, shooting, swimming, and sitting around laughing. - would definitely stay again

    This is a great place to escape! Our extended family came for a long weekend. We enjoyed the wrap-around porch to watch people shoot skeet in the distance while the little ones played on the porch. The river was a great place to take an “adventure” to for the littles. It had something for everyone! Tim was very responsive to any question we had. Overall, it was a great experience!
