If you are looking for a remote retreat that reflects the beauty and splendor of God's creation, undisturbed by urban distractions, our home is just what you are looking for!
Our property features 700 feet of a large spring-fed creek that is perfect for swimming or meditating to the sound of the water as it rushes over the three-foot fall. We own both sides of the creek so your privacy is assured.
House has 3 bathrooms (2 showers and one bath). The 4 bedrooms have theme names: Bluebonet(1 full size bed), Venetian (1 king size bed), Republic of Texas (1 twin & 1 bunk bed) and English Garden Room (2 double beds and sitting area). The kitchen has been renovated with new cabinets, Top of the Line Kitchen Aid appliances (gas range, double oven, dual zoned wine chiller), refrigarator with water and ice from the freezer door, decorative Quimper tile back splash, marble island, stainless steel pot rack and granite counter tops.
The outside of the house features stone stairs, blacktop drive up the hill, flower gardens with sitting areas. Please visit our website for more pictures.
After the sun goes down enjoy a family movie on the TV/DVD/VCR player or do what we do, sit in a rocker on the front porch and enjoy the light show put on by mother nature every night in the forms of millions of stars and dozens of fire flies. The fire circle out in front of the house is great for building campfires, roasting marshmallows, and reminiscing about the good old days.

Little piece of Paradise

July 2011 This home is truly a little piece of paradise hidden away from everyday distractions and located in the beautiful hill country of Texas. Perfect for a family wanting to get away from the busy city life, you can just sit back and relax and enjoy the many views. Plenty of places on the property were you can take a small hike and find sitting areas were you can just sit and enjoy all that's around. If you hike up the hill there's a bench up there where you can take a break and view the beautiful hill country or take a hike down where the creek usually is (went during drought) and there's sitting there as well. Our favorite part was the night hikes, we would grab a couple of flashlights and binoculars (were provided) and walk down to the open pastures where you will find chairs waiting for you and we sit back an try and take in the millions of stars. If you enjoy outings there is plenty to do in surrounding area, Dripping Springs has a couple of nice antique shops and a cool little walk through garden center. Pedernales Falls is just a short distance away and Fredricksberg is almost an hour away (has a strip of great little shops to enjoy). Remember it is a smaller town and things do close earlier there than most places (most places close at 5pm) Home was fully furnished with everything you need for everyday living. Home is so lovely you will be happy with just staying in. Comfortable window seat where you can watch the large variety of birds that come to feed from the bird feeders or enjoy a cup of coffee in the early morning on the large wrap around porch where you can watch the deer come up to the home to eat or in the evening just kick back on the hammock and take a nap. Our family has enjoy going to different cabins the past few years and I can easily say this is one of my favorite ones. My family and I look forward to returning to the Bacot ranch in the future. Next time I will be sure to go after a good rain season so I know that creek will be plenty or maybe in fall or spring so that it's cool enough to take longer hikes. The owner of the property are wonderful as well, they called to insure that we made it ok and that we knew where everything was. They take much pride in there home, it's not like some cabins that are decorated with the bare minimum, this is a home is filled with lots of interesting things that catch your eye. You'll spend your first day just going through the house as if it were a museum.Thanks from Ontiveros family

Memories to Last a Lifetime!

Our very large family (We, the kids and grandkids) spent a week here about 7 years ago. I cannot believe we have not yet been back! We all have such wonderful memories and it was definitely one of our favorite stays...all of us talk about it often and with much fondness. Every breakfast and almost all the dinners were around the large dining room table. The house had everything we needed. The grandkids LOVED going down to the stream each day to watch the fish jump to catch the tadpoles (a hint given to us by the owners). There is much beauty and nature within easy driving distances and we had enough outings to keep us busy each day. There was a fresh goat cheese farm right up the road...what more could you ask?
