Ranchito in Hondo Texas

Property Type : Houses

Property Description

Texas often conjures images of wide-open spaces with iconic Longhorn cattle roaming freely, a quiet and beautiful space where you're free to enjoy your time in any way you see fit. The Ranchito Cabin just north of Hondo offers all that Texas Hill Country beauty and peace, with comforts and amenities that come together to create a wonderful countryside getaway for your entire family. For those with a taste for city fun, towns like Hondo, Bandera, Pipe Creek, and Lakehills are also close by!

It wouldn't be a real ranch without actual Longhorns, which often visit the guest house. Though the cattle are friendly, we ask that guests keep a respectable distance, and they'll do the same. You can bring a well-behaved pet, but only if you believe they'll act tamely around the Longhorns. If you'd like to explore the property further, there are 40 acres and over two miles of marked hiking trails.

This remote, private and spacious vacation rental sits on a hilltop that gives 30-mile views of the Hill Country in all directions. Savor those views from the shaded patio, gathered around the fire pit , or in the soothing waters of the nine-person hot tub. This location is perfect for viewing colorful sunsets and star-filled night skies! The kids will love the playscape here, and there's also a gas grill for BBQ cookouts. For mutual well-being, a release of liability is required; also, smoking is allowed only outdoors. If you'd like to bring a larger group, please ask us about RV spot and hookup availability!

The cabin is filled with decor and furnishings in warm earth tones to give it a rustic and welcoming look. The three bedrooms have two queen beds, a full bunk bed set, and a trundle bed, which provide warm sleeping space for up to nine. Two full baths-the master has a shower, and the second a shower/tub combo-are both are furnished with clean linens, as are all the sleeping spaces. A washer and dryer combo provide cleanup convenience, and a full kitchen with appliances, cookware, serving ware, utensils, and glasses is yours to enjoy, with a dining table that seats six. The living area features a DVD-ready, Roku TV (no local channels), plenty of plush furniture, and a toasty fireplace.. Central air, heat, and ceiling fans keep the entire cabin to your liking year-round. There's even a dedicated workspace in the second bedroom, with Wifi Internet throughout the cabin!

What guests are saying...

We definitely came for the outdoor ambiance here. Gorgeous view of the sunset & moon rising. Would be the perfect place to plan a lunar/solar eclipse no doubt. We liked the opportunity to be able to walk a few feet from our Airbnb & walk into a nature trail that wrapped around the house. The jacuzzis cleanliness exceeded our expectations. The house was filled with plenty of last minute things one would forget while packing & that came in very convenient and handy for us. Overall our stay was great through and through. (:

What a absolutely amazing location. The dirt road in might make you question if you are going the right direction, but g-maps won’t lie! The home sits on top of a beautiful plateau and is surrounded by miles and miles of gorgeous hill country. The hiking trails are a nice touch and let you really get away from everything and let you explore and get closer with nature. It is almost exactly a 30 minute drive from house to Hondo as a fyi, not a big deal for us but make sure you have all your supplies and food to limit the amount of trips you might take. The home itself is perfect, great layout and well appointed. Everything was clean and worked and was well stocked with the typical home type supplies. I have nothing negative at all to say, I will be coming back soon because it was really just perfect.

Exactly the peace and quiet we were looking for. Breathtaking views and comfortable accommodations. Looking forward to return visits!

This place is perfect for the couple who wants to spend a romantic anniversary and literally feel like they are the only two people on earth! We never heard a sound from “life outside” while we were there, but did enjoy all the peaceful sounds of nature and animals! The hot tub here is the best one we’ve ever experienced, with beautiful colored lights at night! This is also a very suitable place for families with children as they offer a very nice playground in the backyard and trails to explore all around! We were so grateful this place was pet friendly, so our Weim, Preston could join us. We love this place! It’s our new favorite! This place was EXACTLY what we were looking for in an anniversary getaway! It is our all time favorite and if you are still hosting it next August, we will be back! We loved the peaceful, secluded location! We loved how comfortable and homey this place was on the inside, and we loved that there were trails to roam around out in nature! This home was beautiful and everything we’ve ever wanted in an anniversary getaway! Thank you so much for hosting!!!
