🐾 Pet Friendly | 🐎 Horses Welcome | 👥 Sleeps 5 | ⏰ Free Early Check-In (when available) | 📱 Free Hill Country Travel App

Doe Creek Horse Ranch is private and gated for our guests, pets and the ranch’s donkeys, Lyle and Lovett. Its pastures are being restored to feature native flowers and grasses, and nature lovers will be delighted with the wildlife they’ll spot. You’ll find two patios with comfortable outdoor furniture; they’re great shaded spaces for conversation, wildlife watching, or admiring the colorful Hill Country. There’s even a ranch-style country tub for an outdoor soak, and a daybed for a fresh-air nap. The back porch has outdoor lighting for a touch of nighttime magic, too!

Doe Creek Horse Ranch is a horse-friendly vacation rental! It was built by a cowgirl who competed professionally, and features equine amenities like two shaded horse pens and an all-weather, lighted training facility, and it's a two-mile ride to Bandera, where horses and riders are welcomed! Guests are welcome to bring their horses along with them to the ranch. The ranch was built by a cowgirl who competed in the western horse event called "reining". She is pictured on the barn on a horse sliding to a stop from a full gallop which is one of the skills required in "reining". The heart of the ranch is the 50 -foot round pen. The round pen boasts a lighted roof and sand floor so it can be enjoyed anytime and in all weather. There are 3 stalls available. Guided trail rides can be hired locally so everybody can enjoy the Hill country on horseback. Check with us for details on this equestrian paradise. What's more, with the country byways surrounding the ranch, you can take a scenic tour, often without seeing any other vehicles.

Woodwork inside draws the eye, from ceiling beams to barnboard highlights to paneling that projects a warm glow. All is kept comfortable with central air, heat, and ceiling fans, along with a stone fireplace. There’s plenty of cozy seating in the living and dining areas, and Wifi service keeps you connected. There’s also a smart TV in the master bedroom, so bring along your Roku or use streaming apps for entertainment!

There's restful lodging at Doe Creek Horse Ranch for up to five: a king-sized bed in the upstairs master suite , king-sized bed in the downstairs bedroom, and a single bed in the living area. There’s also a hammock-style rope bed, more suited for naps than overnight use. All sleeping spaces include clean linens, as do both full baths, each of which feature a tub/shower combo. You’ll have the use of a full kitchen, complete with appliances, cooking and serving ware, and even a convenient washer and dryer.

There’s a certain feeling you get when you step into the Texas Hill Country — a quiet mix of wonder, freedom, and belonging.

Maybe it’s the old stone towns, where history whispers through limestone walls, or the rivers that carve their way patiently through time. Whatever it is, this place has a spirit all its own. It’s rugged yet graceful, wild yet welcoming — the kind of place that invites you to explore, stay a while, and remember what life feels like when it’s simple and real.

Laura
This is by far one of the most charming houses we have ever stayed in. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Great spaces, super clean, nice towels, well appointed rooms and fantastic outdoor spaces as well.We can’t wait to come back.
Kathie
Excellent location, roomy and all essentials are available. Four adults visiting for the bike rally. Parking for two trucks with trailers were more than adequate. Cats, birds and donkeys were a plus!! We will stay here again!
Tomeka
Absolutely loved this cabin for our 3 night stay! We are already planning our next trip. The home is conveniently located one hour outside San Antonio and it was an oasis. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and the backyard was so peaceful especially in the morning and at sunset. Thank you for sharing this lovely home!
Dana
This place is absolutely adorable. The details and decor felt like staying with a friend not at a hotel. Spent most of our time on back porch enjoying the birds, jackrabbits and other wildlife. Went for a great hike and enjoyed some live music, shopping and dinner downtown. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to get out of the city and relax.
Jana
We loved everything! Beyond expectations! Thank you. We’ll be back next year hopefully!
Monique
You want to live here right away! What a tranquility and an atmosphere exudes this house. The view, the animals around it. The driveway, the stables…..the cowboys feeling is up and running here! Highly recommended, a big 10!
