About this property
Guest Lodge on the Johnson Fork of the Llano River
Perhaps you are old enough to remember the good old western movies with the ruggedly beautiful, gently rolling Texas type scenery in the background of the cattle drive or the weary rider heading off into the sunset. Escondido Ranch, located in south central Texas is exactly like that Hollywood version of the Old West, complete with mesquite brush, hills and wooded areas, and the low canyons perfect for those early morning sunrise or late evening sunset.
The Guest Lodge is located in the valley, with a spacious back porch overlooking the Johnson Fork of the Llano River. Each of the bedrooms in the Guest Lodge have a spectacular view of the river and the wildlife that frequents this beautiful sight. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated in a Western style with each bedroom having its own bathroom.
Our Guest Lodge is equipped with a full kitchen, a living room area with wide screen TV and a spacious porch overlooking the River.
For mid-day relaxation, you can lounge on the outside patio or swim in the river.
In addition to the first class accommodations there is also the option to catch and release fish on over 2 miles of a spring fed river that runs through the property. This riverbed also provides excellent viewing of wild hogs, Rio Grande Turkey, Whitetails, and various other exotics. Being at this Texas ranch is both breathtaking as well as relaxing and rejuvenating. It is almost impossible to imagine you are just a few miles of the beaten path as it is quiet, serene and beautiful.
This is a great location for families or several couples that just want to getaway.
If you are a smaller party then our other listing on the same ranch might be for you!
