We know your life has gotten very hectic.  You need a place to get away from all the clutter of office and personal lives that move at break neck speeds.  Our rooms are the perfect prescription for what ails you.

The drawing just above is the basic design of our cabins. The banner above is the view all our cabins will have.  We hope to offer a high style cabin with a minimalist feel.  We hope the completed design is a structure to compliment its location and have a feeling of calm quietness. It looks like Chris Lewis has nailed it, on his FIRST draft!

Clean Lines and Uncluttered Spaces
  We will furnish our rooms with the most comfortable mattresses & bedding we can find.  But it stops there.  A few pieces of art, some flowers and a view you won't soon forget are the only decorations.  No frills or gingham. 

  We have NO alarm clocks, they're Evil!   If you are up in the very early mornings.  You should take your coffee and go for a walk. Our little bird friends like this quiet cool time of the day you will too.

  We do have a Bose® Wave Radio & CD player. It has an alarm function and you can wake up to soothing music if you must be disturbed in this manner.  Or load your favorite play list into your iPod, it plugs right in to the radio. We'll even provide you the cable.

"That's great but I'll go crazy with no TV"!
  Satellite TV , Pay Per View and DVD players are available for an extra fee.  It is locked in a closet so you'll never know its there.  We think you will enjoy a few days with nothing to distract you.  Go ahead give it a try, we dare you!  Can we tempt you with an XBOX, we have that too.

Screened in Cabins,  Want to try roughing it.  We will have some wonderful little screened in cabins with wood stoves and ceiling fans.  You bring your sleeping bag and a cot.  Cabins have NO running water.  You are not far from the shared bathrooms his & hers.  Cabins have no place to cook.  There is a common area with full outdoor kitchen available for you to use.

Your own private mountain top oasis.  Spring water pool to cool off day or night.  This is a pool we found on the web. Who ever built this we are envious and are going to have one built using your pool as an inspiration.  We have seen others like this but none this lovely.

 

Don't Forget the creek.  We offer Creek Swimming fishing, paddleboats, and canoes. You will find every kind of float and water toy you could imagine.  The creek has the nicest views of any body of water around!  Float on the creek and watch Golden Eagles & Peregrine Falcons fly overhead.

ABOUT BRING PETS TO THE RANCH

We are very pet friendly. The ranch is a wonderful place for you and your pet.  Please remember this is the Texas Hill Country and cactus and the occasional porcupine make for a lousy time for your pet and you, should your dog run into either.  Not to mention skunks or rattle snakes.  Please leash your pets unless they are well behaved and do not let them roam unattended.  Or just leave the "kids with the sitter"  in Austin try leaving your pet at www.taurusdogtraing.com.  They will have a great time while you enjoy a few days away from it all.
