Retreat on the Pedernales River At Stone Home Ranch

Stone Home Ranch is your exceptional country getaway, sitting high on the craggy cliffs of the Pedernales River, with stunning views of the Texas Hill Country. Directly across the rivers is Reimers Ranch County park.

** Please read carefully the paragraph below on booking the 5th bedroom.
** The main-house has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths that can be booked alone, accommodating up to 10 guest in beds. Or if you need the extra space of the garage apartment that can be booked as well by booking for 14 guest. Base price is 10 guest or less. I do this to allow for the smaller groups at a lower price in the main house.

** Outdoor security cameras on the premises

Inside Stone Home-

Our Great Room, features a dramatic fireplace that touches the top of the 20-foot vaulted ceilings.

Dinnertime is a breeze in our fully stocked kitchen, with plenty of workspace for multiple cooks to work together.

The dining spaces includes an 8-person rare granite dining table, a breakfast table for 6 & 4 more bar stools at the kitchen island. Not to mention a variety of outdoor dining on the patio, picnic table close by, sitting and nooks, and a riverfront picnic table.

The master suite has four-poster, Ralph Lauren king-sized bed, 50” flat screen and sliding glass doors opening to a sitting room/patio. The attached bathroom has a 2-person tub, a double sink and a big walk-in shower.

Upstairs you’ll find a second seating area with a large L-Shaped sofa, a rocking chair, and a desk/table for work or play. Also, 3 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms, a large library of books for all ages, a large & small patio.

Casita, (garage apartment) has 2 queen-sized and 1 full size futon, as well as a full bath with a compact washer & dryer.
NOTE : garage apartment is priced as mentioned above

Get to the river by the staircase (130 steps…but they’re worth it!). Take out one of our kayaks or SUP's on the calm waters of the Pedernales, swim, or go fishing.

On a cool evening, light a fire at the cliff side fire pit and stargaze.

Our Location is Spicewood, Texas (birthplace of Willie Nelson!) , with 5 nearby wineries, a couple breweries, and distillery. Zip line at Cypress Valley Canopy Tours, Krause Springs, Reimers Ranch preserve, golfing, rent a boat at Briarcliff Marina and explore beautiful Lake Travis. Overwhelmed with options? Treat yourself to the tranquility offered at the ranch and never leave.

Unique respite
After going through two lock gates we find a beautiful home tucked away from loads of people. The house was immaculate. It had a quaint trough for a pool which was large enough for six adults and four kids. Tight but fun for visiting and drinking. It was a little hike to the creek below and it was low. However. That did not stop us from kayaking and having fun. The evenings on the back porch was a perfect place to view the hills and the sunset. It was a winner in our book.

I would love to spend more time here just taking it all in.

The Views
Family of four (5 & 7) stayed for a couple days during spring break. The house is pretty darn awesome.. and that’s the “worst” part. What an awesome property. The views are amazing, the river (albeit low) was awesome for hiking, fishing, wadding and relaxing. We spent the vast majority of time outside and even the chickens provided the kids with some entertainment, including gathering eggs. Wendy was awesome, we’ll be back.

This property is a delightful place to stay! The pictures do not the views justice! The beds are comfortable, you can stargaze in the upstairs balcony. You can fish, hike, swim and play by the sand.

Wendy {host} is an absolute DOLL! She responds immediately to all questions/requests and is a happy, informative, helpful delight! Property is amazing, roomy and family oriented. If you're outdoorsy--the river is a huge attraction, and you can go for walks, light hiking along river. Grill out, watch the stars, paddleboard and play. We'll definitely be back!

60th birthday celebration
We stayed with our 5 adults kids and spouses as well as grandkids (2.5 x 2 & 6 months). Everything about this rental was spectacular!! The house is clean, lovely and perfect for a family gathering. The kitchen is very well stocked. The kids loved going to gather eggs, played in the tree house and hiking down to the river. Sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous. We had Opie’s BBQ, Cosa Nostra Pizza and La Cabana Grill when we didn’t cook on property. I could go on and on about how great it was. Will definitely be back. Wendy our host was great!!

Serene
Just few miles away from the city but it felt like we were thousands of miles away in nature. This place is serene. We were group of fourteen friends looking for a break from city life and enjoy nature. This place was perfect. House is fully equipped with all amenities, very nicely decorated, clean. Kitchen has everything you need to cook. Backyard is where fun begins. What a view. Woods, river and clear sky. Wendy is a very good host. We could reach her for any assistance. When refrigerator didn’t make ice, she delivered couple bags of ice to us. Main house can sleep ten people as described on app. Couple of single beds are not very comfortable but rest of beds were very nice. Garage apartment sleeps four, not as great as house but workable. It’s hard to find house that can accommodate fourteen people with four and half bath. Early mornings and Evenings in the backyard and trips to river were the most memorable.

A Little Slice of Texas Heaven
Stone Home Ranch property is the perfect home for a family vacation . Our Mother’s Day trip was one for the records. Wendy, the owner, was a delight to work with. We were so fortunate to meet her and her dog, Nelson, on our visit and our family fell in love with both instantly. There were 7 in our family and everyone had plenty of space for sleeping and chillin. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the covered patio with amazing views and ended the evening on the star gazing porch for a spectacular light show. Our plan was to visit one of the local wineries or distilleries in the area, but we loved this property so much, and there was so much to do, we never left . If you are looking for the perfect family vacation home, this is it. The river was an added bonus and provided hours of entertainment . Naps in the hammock, swimming, fishing and kayaking. Our family can’t wait to book our next Stone Home vacation .
