The former Shovel Mountain Winery is a vacation retreat for families and groups wanting to retreat to the Hill Country with all the comforts of home and the ambiance of your favorite hill country destination. The facilities are designed to accommodate large groups and provide a flexible venue for family reunions, yoga or cooking retreats, and company workshops, just to name a few. Your stay includes the use of the ranch house, log cabin, retro travel trailer, winery apartment, former winery building game room, firepit, and our private pool and hot tub with large deck. Each are nestled under large oak trees and provide beautiful views of the Texas Hill Country during the day and bright stars at night. The ranch house, deck and pool/hot tub, and travel trailer are located on one side of the parking area across from the log cabin and winery building. Each space has a personality of its own.

Our remote location is where you can actually see the stars and view the milky way like when you were a kid!

We are fortunate to be able to share our guest homes with you, but please be mindful that we are also sharing our former vineyard with Texas wildlife. Along with the armadillos, jackrabbits, and roadrunners… we also have seen a few snakes, fire ants, and other stinging insects. We remind you that children must be supervised since we have farm equipment stored throughout the vineyard.

We provide 5-gallon containers of bottled water in the ranch house, log cabin and winery apartment for drinking and cooking. Please bring ice, as the refrigerators have large freezers but no ice makers!
