About this house rental
Return to your roots when you stay at this Llano house situated in the rustic plains of Texas hill country. This historic 5-bedroom, 3-bath vacation rental was originally a land grant from 1836, and still retains a special, untouched quality. Families can enjoy activities such as fishing on the lake, drone flying, and wildlife viewing on the 1,300 acre private pasture. At the end of the day, cook up some venison on the charcoal grill and let the sound of cicadas lull you into a peaceful evening.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2023
This property was so unique with its beauty and complete solitude. Our family of 18 enjoyed every second at Inks Ranch. The lake outback provided us with hours of entertainment and relaxation. It was fun hiking in the early morning and exploring the property. The house was well equipped with everything you would need. We will defiantly come back to this hidden gem.
5.0 / 10.0·Dec 2020
We booked this ranch for a family vacation...and were blown away. This place made for the best large family get-together we could have imagined. The view from the main living room and the deck might be the most amazing view outside of Santorini Greece we have ever had. Every day, a herd of Audad came within a few feet of the house and several days, so did a herd of goats. We had a plumbing problem on the second day, but the owners were responsive and solved it with little hassle on our part. On the last day, we got a flat tire, and the owner talked us through using the equipment on the ranch to solve it. Truly a great experience. We will return.
