The Ranch at Cow Creek is discretely nestled in the middle of the Balcones Canyonlands Wildlife Nature Preserve among rolling hills, creeks, and beautiful Texas landscapes. The property is brimming with Texas charm and elegance.
The main house is a completely renovated and professionally decorated Southern Farm house. Originally built around a 1900’s farm house, the main house is an expansive 4,800 square foot home with 4 bedrooms and 4 ½ baths with sleeping accommodations for 17 guests.
For parties, Guests can rent the Dance Hall, an 1800 sqft event space with a wall of french doors that open up to a 1,000 sqft deck overlooking the canyonlands. The dance hall comes with speakers, his and her bathrooms, a bar area, and a food serving area.
Ranch guests can enjoy a wide range of activities including nearby fishing/boating on Lake Travis, skeet shooting (at an extra charge), Indian arrowhead searching (you are guaranteed to find some), hunting, and swimming in the optionally heated pool. You can also pre-arrange an onsite chef, onsite masseuse, and other luxurious spa treatments at an additional charge from 3rd party vendors. All of this fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape which exudes Texas ranch charm.
In total, we can accommodate 35 overnight guests in beds or 75 or more for events. The main house has a heated pool (additional charge to heat pool in cold months) with outdoor fire pit and 3 fireplaces. Gas grills are provided for use in the outdoor living spaces.
