on the values of a bygone age in the American west. The ranch sometimes serves as a respite for our country's soldiers and veterans to return to civilian life at their own pace, with the respect, honor, and support they deserve. While members of our military are welcomed here, you need not be one to enjoy the property. The Lazy U Ranch is owned by a fifth-generation Texas family, with an emphasis on the respect and preservation of its natural beauty-it's one of the prettiest vacation ranch rentals around! This is God's country, and it's maintained that God got it right the first time around-so no pesticides or non-organic fertilizers are ever used here. A registered herd of Texas Longhorns roam the ranch, as does abundant bird and wildlife-among them coyotes, deer, bobcats, and over 140 species of birds. The Lodge's 30-foot enclosed and windowed porch, on a second-story elevation, makes it a perfect observation post for wildlife-watching. Binoculars are provided, too!The Lodge's deck overlooks a quarter-mile stretch of private riverfront, known as Lake Placid. The river is perfect for a cool swim, or just relaxing and reflecting in this little slice of God's country. It's an amazing Hill Country setting for fun weekend getaways for couples! We do ask our guests to be aware that there are often veteran-oriented activities that take place on the ranch, and during these events you may be sharing the waterfront, and the surrounding grounds, with them.Step into the Lodge, and you'll see one of the many features that make this place truly special, and the best lodge in Seguin. The foyer here serves as a museum of both Texan and American military history, highlighted by mementos and photographs from the family's history that encompasses every American conflict since the Civil War. The Lodge also includes an expansive reading library, focused on the Lone Star State's rich history. The fact that reading is emphasized at the ranch leads us to a concept that's influential here: simplicity!That means what you won't find here are computers, phones, or other distracting trappings that draw attention away from the people around you. Fellowship and conversation are key here, and the spacious Stockyard Room provides ample space for that, in an intimate yet roomy bar room setting complete with an antique wood stove. This room also features two authentic vintage Murphy beds (the type that swing down from the wall). Knotty pine wood walls and oak and red pine flooring give this ranch house that special and inviting Texas style.The Lodge features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, which, along with the Murphy beds, supply comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to eight people. All bed and bath linens are provided for your stay, and ceiling fans and central air conditioning and heating will assure your interior comfort. There is also an enormous commercial kitchen, with all the appliances and utensils to fulfill your culinary needs. There's even a genuine butcher block!This perfect waterfront vacation rental hideaway is steeped in the proud histories of both Texas and the American military, in a restful and rejuvenating setting. Backroads Reservations is proud to play a part in this unique getaway, and we'd love to introduce you to all the Lazy U Ranch has to offer. Call us today!

l Texas Hill Country offers delights for the young and old alike. The 28 miniature horses on the farm are graceful and lovely to see and they enjoy interacting with the guests who are invited to pet them to their hearts' content. The owners of course grow and harvest hay on the land for these beauties and the vegetable gardens adjacent to the Cottage and Old House are truly a wonder to see. After a hike or a stroll around the property, a swim in the pool is a great way to relax. The owner's home, the Cottage and Old House all look out onto the pool which is surrounded by pots of blooming flowers. The Cottage and Old House have all the conveniences of home with fully equipped kitchens, a jar of homemade cookies, satellite TVs with DVD, Wi-Fi internet access, a charcoal grill, lovely bed and bath linens and ample window units for A/C and heat. Treat your family to a stay at this little piece of heaven.==================COVID-19 UPDATE: This accommodation is open for business.
