Property Description

Take in the most beautiful aspects of the Texas Hill Country, with the emphasis on country! The Potato Flats Ranch House provides stylish interior comfort surrounded by stunning mountain views in a waterfront setting on this 600-acre working ranch. With plush accommodations for up to six people, this spacious and luxurious guest house rental creates the perfect relaxation and decompression zone. Also, you'll be amazed to discover this rural wonderland is less than ten miles from downtown Bandera!

Chances are you'll see Charlie the donkey, as he oversees the goings-on at his sprawling country home. There's plenty of room to hike, bird watch, and ride horses, and there are pens and stalls here for your equine companions. Outdoor enthusiasts love the location; this country rental is 15 miles from the Hill Country State Natural Area, and within ten miles of Medina River tubing, fishing, and swimming in Bandera. For night life, shopping, and great food, Bandera, Pipe Creek, and Tarpley are all close by.

A shaded, wrap-around porch surrounds the house, offering fresh country breezes and panoramic views of the Hill Country in all directions. The porch is furnished with rocking chairs, which are a wonderful way to enjoy a mellow moment or two. There's a charcoal grill, too, if you're in the mood for a hearty outdoor meal. Kids over ten are welcome to explore the ranch, but keep in mind that pets and smoking are not allowed on the property.

Cowboy decor, hardwood floors, rustic furnishings, and even a Ben Franklin stove, highlight the warm and welcoming interior here. The spacious living room and dining areas provide comfortable seating, and the full kitchen features appliances and utensils. Up to six guests sleep in plush comfort in the house's three bedrooms, with two double beds and two twin beds overall. The master bath has a shower, and the hallway bath features a shower/tub combo; all bed and bath linens are provided. The TV has both VCR and DVD players, with a library of VCR movies to enjoy. With ceiling fans in every room, and central air and heat, your interior comfort is assured. Finally, there's a washer/dryer combo, too.

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.
