The Lodge at Forse Mountain Ranch near Kerrville has five bedrooms each having a private full bath, with sleeping space for up to 14 guests! This premiere vacation home is like having a private resort all to yourself, with water access and lots of amenities!

Deer and other wildlife roam the 170 acres at Forse Mountain Ranch, and you'll have access to several swimming areas (one directly behind the lodge- Please inquire about water levels at time of booking), as well as many areas for catch-and-release fishing (seasonal based on water levels.

This two-story vacation home was recently remodeled, with comforts like central heat and air, Wifi, and satellite TV blended with welcoming country touches. Warm up around a crackling fire in the den's wood-burning fireplace while you enjoy a game of pool, ping-pong, or cards on the tables provided for just such entertainment! The kitchen is fully decked out for your culinary needs, including a six-burner industrial oven and a separate large grill, a large-capacity coffee maker, crock pots, and cooking and serving ware.

What guests are saying...

Gina
I only gave 4 stars on "accuracy of listing" because this place is even better in person than it is on the listing. Forse Mountain Lodge is an ideal place to stay for large groups. We had a 10 person/5couple faith-based retreat where each couple had their own room and a full bathroom in their room. Our group felt that was "key" in feeling comfortable in a home all together. It has a massive kitchen and island with plenty of room to eat and socialize. We would have used the den area more, but we had such beautiful weather, we convened outside on the backyard stone porch under beautiful trees around a firepit with smores sticks provided by the owners. The property itself is 170 acres filled with tons of white-tailed deer and axis roaming freely and unafraid of humans. There are a number of stock tanks and walking the grounds is beautiful as it is surrounded by the canyons and hills of the area. The owners obviously take great pride in their place and have attention to detail to create a memorable stay. The Lodge is very clean and has been recently renovated to reflect a rustic yet modern feel. Our group was exceedingly impressed with this property that is ideal for any multi-family or friend group experience. We highly recommend the Forse Mountain Lodge for your next hill country get away!
Holly
I can't rave enough about this property and its owners. Terry and Linda were the best hosts, so friendly and accommodating. The house itself is spacious, beautifully renovated, private bathrooms for each room (major plus), VERY comfortable beds, activities to do on the grounds both inside and outside. We had a large group but never felt cramped and we really enjoyed all getting in the kitchen and cooking together. The large island and ample counter space and cooking surfaces made cooking for our large group a breeze. The property is gorgeous with lots to explore. Deer greeted our lawn every morning. No one wanted to leave. Property is close to town making it easy to go get groceries and a little less than an hour drive to Fredericksburg if you want to hop into town for a visit to Main St or the numerous wineries and breweries. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back.

My daughter had her wedding in Kerrville, and our extended family stayed at the house. It is in an awesome luxury location with a lot to do. I definitely would return.
Kimberly
The home we stayed at in Kerrville was amazing. It was on a lovely piece of land with tons of wildlife. The owners, Terry and Linda, live next door in their home and were so friendly and helpful. They answered all out questions and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was stunning on the inside, better than the photos! Every room has their own private bathroom which was so nice! The deer were so fun to watch! Highly recommend this home for large groups.

This was the most spectacular property I’ve stayed at and I’ve been in quite a few. It was amazing from the spacious house to the two ponds stocked with fish, the deer roaming around, the fire pit ready for s’mores and the porch filled with rocking chairs. These hosts have thought of everything and Tim kept checking on us and we felt very welcomed. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Each of the bedrooms has its own bath. The master bathroom has a shower that has multiple shower heads. If you’re wondering about the price, I can tell you it’s worth every penny. Even my husband said so and he’s tighter than bark on a tree! We all agreed it was a perfect weekend and we’ll be back.
