About this property

Skull Creek Ranch (5702 Skull Creek Road - Fayetteville, Texas 78940)

Our 4 bedroom private guest house has beautiful views of the Texas hill country and your house is bumped right up to the horse paddock and arena providing up close viewing of the horses if they are not in the main pasture. Relaxation and serenity is what you will find here at the ranch. Fish our privately stocked pond from the dock (catch an release only), watch the cattle, donkeys and deer in our pastures. Take walks throughout our property and gaze at the stars as only seen in a country sky near a warm camp fire toasting s'mores or have a relaxing drink. BBQ on your own pit in our outdoor gazebo while the kids enjoy their own equipped playground. Recently added, our workout and fitness center, if you cant find what you need in this facility it doesn't exist, look out 24 hour fitness (liability forms must be signed prior to usage).

Peaceful country place
Spacious and clean, surrounded by beautiful countryside and horses. It’s a guest house on a working farm, so the family that owns the farm is around for help but are not intrusive. It’s out in the country on a dirt road and we did get lost a few times. So quiet and you can see a million stars from the front porch!

Lovely stay at Skull Creek Ranch
Our stay at Skull Creek ranch was perfect! We were a group of 5 women who were going shopping in Roundtop Texas and old Brenham Texas on our 4 day trip. Our hosts were fabulous! They were on call at all times....coming over to fix the TV a couple of times so that we could watch the Astros in the playoffs. Jeff was charming and full of information about the ranch, left us fixin's for mimosas in the fridge, made us a fire to sit outside at night, even cut the fields to make it easier for us to walk the property. One of the owners surprised us when she invited us to watch her train her arabian horse. It was a perfect stay. Book it! 5 STARS!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Wilson

Host profile image
Hello guests,
My name is Jeff Wilson and I am the manager of Skull Creek Ranch located in the hill country of Shelby Texas. The ranch has been in existence since the mid 1800's as a cotton plantation and cotton mill. After a devastating fire burnt the mill to the ground in the 1900's our beloved patriarch Carl Isgren rebuilt it from the original blue prints in 2020 to preserve its historic value to the Shelby area. The ranch covers 139 acres with an abundance of wildlife, scenic views and great fishing ponds. Our ranch also consists of the two story owner ranch house, a workout facility the rivals 24 hour fitness, your 4 bedroom guesthouse, a covered pavilion with giant mid-yard and equipped playground, a horse arena that runs behind the guest house so you are right up and personal with the horses, the cotton mill and sorts/game house. We want you to feel at home here and enjoy the beauty of Skull Creek Ranch.
