There are several nearby commercial kennels we can recommend. You may encounter a variety of wild and domesticated animals that roam freely on the ranch.

Every overnight guest as well as every day guest must sign liability release agreements immediately upon arriving to use any ranch facilities other than the building reserved. All payments must be made prior to or immediately upon arriving at the ranch to access the property.
The ranch is located 13 miles north of 1604, the outer loop around San Antonio. Here you can experience the quietness and peace of rural life after a tiring day of sightseeing or adventure. We are less than 40 minutes from Sea World, Fiesta Texas, The Alamo and Riverwalk, Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, tubing and antiquing in Gruene, Natural Bridge Caverns and Wildlife Park, Cave Without a Name, shopping and dining in Boerne and Guadalupe State Park where you can play in the river, picnic, and hike.
The incredible views and features of this historic ranch, marked with a commemorative plaque from the state of Texas, make this a lovely choice. We raise Wagyu cattle and have trophy whitetail deer for serious hunters. Ranch tours are available at owner’s discretion and are offered to guests staying three nights or more.

From the moment we arrived, we were completely enchanted by this property. The grounds are absolutely stunning – every corner feels like a hidden gem, with breathtaking views that made the entire experience feel like a dream. The different houses on the property were each unique and magical in their own way, offering both comfort and charm that made our group feel right at home.Our hosts were beyond welcoming – warm, responsive, and genuinely kind. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and their hospitality added such a personal touch to our stay.The wedding was nothing short of amazing. With the incredible backdrop of the trees and the natural beauty of the property, it felt like a fairytale. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate such a special occasion.Highly recommend – this place is a slice of heaven!

Overall the stay went well. Everyone loved the pool time.We were blessed with good weather so we could eat outside. Limited eating area for a large group in the main kitchen but covered options near the pool were available as needed.

Great place for a large group.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2025
It was not the perfect getaway for my family. Each area was too far apart. It rained the whole weekend so we were kinda stuck in the house. With that being said, I had have my daughter go get a Roku so the little kids could watch some movies because they only had digital antenna and not good connection. I bought a fan for the master because it was way warmer than the rest of the house. The pool was amazing. The kids loved it, when it wasn’t lightening we were able to let them swim. I was not aware the owners house is right next to all of it so I didn’t feel we had our privacy I was paying for. It felt like we were intruding on someone’s private property. The owners seemed nice. Only communicated with the wife most of the trip.
