3H Ranch Mountain Retreat

Are you facing the challenge of booking a choice Hill Country holiday spot for a large group of family and friends? You'll love the 3H Ranch Mountain Retreat! It's located in a prime location on a 60-acre ranch, and it's a kid-friendly rental property with tons of space. With 11 queen-sized, full-sized, double and bunk beds on site, you'll be able to pamper a crew of up to 17 people in this peaceful and beautiful country location-all at rates that will keep your pocketbook happy, too.

Embark with us on our amazing Hill Country Eclipse Journey! By astronomical luck, the Hill Country will be in the path of two upcoming solar eclipses. Saturday, October 14, 2023 will bring an annular "Ring of Fire" eclipse, and a full solar eclipse will occur Monday, April 8, 2024. We've got 125 great vacation homes in the region, covering 21 Hill Country towns, all in the eclipse "bullseye." Experience the enchantment of the darkest night skies and witness the finest solar eclipse viewing in the Hill Country.

Located between Medina and Vanderpool, this fantastic family vacation getaway is perfectly located in the Texas Hill Country! Awesome towns like Bandera, Tarpley, Medina, Vanderpool, and Utopia are all close by, and the Lost Maples and Hill Country State Natural Areas are within a half hour's drive. History buffs are in for a treat; the ghost town of Tuff is on the same road that leads to the retreat. Stop by and check out the original buildings that were once home to this bustling village!

Nearby Jackson Creek is spring-fed, so the water here is always beautiful. Try your hand at catch-and-release fishing, bring your kayaks or tubes along for a private float, or BBQ there at the charcoal grill; the pond is less than 1 minute walk from the home! Enjoy watching the roaming deer and turkey, relax at night under the starry skies and enjoy a chat around the fire pit, or fix some chow on the charcoal grill. The retreat's shaded patio has plenty of furniture and a picnic table; it's a great gathering space! Up to two inside pets are allowed at the retreat.at.

This thoroughly remodeled 1960s ranch house is designed with comfort in mind. Distinguished woodwork and corrugated metal highlights give it a personality all its own, with rooms and furnishings to make all your folks feel right at home. The 11 beds in the five bedrooms, and two-and-a-half baths, are equipped with complimentary clean linens. The big kitchen is furnished with modern appliances, and there's a washer/dryer combo and extra refrigerator, too. In warmer weather, we'll turn on the brand-new window AC units early, so you won't have to wait for cool comfort. For important business that can't wait, there's even a dedicated work space here. The TV comes with some free channels, and there's Wifi Internet (bring your Roku!) throughout the guest house, too.

With inspiring Hill Country views and plenty of space inside and out, the 3H Ranch Mountain Retreat is an incomparable family vacation rental! Book this amazing space with Backroads Reservations today!
