Great Ranch

Was a pretty cool place to stay at for a large group of people. House was very clean and the river was flowing great even in a drought

Very nice

Great place for our annual class of 1968 get together although the weather was too hot to enjoy the outdoors much. Plenty of room, spotless and great location.

Peaceful & Private Weekend!

The property is secluded and private, we hung out and fished all day at the various spots on the river that vary between a couple of inches to a few feet. The house was very clean and just like the photos. Grilled a couple of nights and had smores! Would highly recommend it. Although we felt like it was only us on the ranch, it was comforting to know that the ranch manager is there if you need him.

Perfect For Exploring and Relaxing

This is an amazing property. The land is beautiful. A swimming hole that provides hours of fun. Acres to roam around. Owners and staff are helpful and swift to reply. Every bedroom has a private bath and access to a large, well appointed patio area that is perfect any time of day. Well stocked kitchen. Game room with pool table, poker table, television and comfy seating. We could go on and on. We will be back.

Great getaway on the South Llano River

Host and ranch personnel were friendly and helpful. We loved sitting on the back porch with a fire in the evening and hiking around the property. We visited Caverns of Sanora and Kayaked the S. Llano our last day.

Escondido Lodge

We had a great time at the lodge. We enjoyed playing in the river and fishing during the day, and grilling and hanging out in the shop area in the evening. We will definitely return.

It Couldn't Have Been Better!!!

Our family of 13 which included 8 adults and 5 kids (7, 5, 4, 2 1/2 years and 6 weeks old) met at Escondido Ranch to celebrate our son and daughter-in-law's graduations from medical school. The time we spent at this beautiful ranch on the peaceful tributary of the llano river, was everything we could have asked for. We awoke and had coffee to the sight and sound of beautiful birds, we caught (and released) fish fast enough to delight even the 4 year old, we waded and floated in the cool, clear water, we played games on the lawn and in the gameroom, went on wildlife viewing hikes in the evening and saw millions and millions of stars at night. We had everything we needed in the house from the kitchen to the gameroom. Our beds were comfortable and I especially loved that each bedroom had a door to the outside. We brought folding tables and used the outdoor chairs and benches to make a table long enough for our big group to gather together for dinner in the shade on the lawn. Does it sound heavenly? It was. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you to Heather and Austin for helping us get settled and making sure we had everything we needed! We will be back

It was a great few days...

Beautiful ranch with plenty of room to explore. The guest lodge was clean, comfortable and relaxing - plenty of room to space out. We waded in the river, hiked and explored along the river, caught a lot of fish, saw wildlife, and made s'mores at night - it was a perfect way to spend a few days as a family. Heather was very responsive and helpful. We hope to revisit again. Thank you for making your special place available.

Relaxing getaway with first class style and natural amenities!

Our time was so relaxing! Having coffee with the exotics and whitetail and turkey. Running water soothing through the day, cold pools of water and a slow float through nature. Pool and poker in the evenings before time under the stars or around the fire. Steaks on the grill and Bluebell in the freezer! What a great place for the family and friends! Hope to make it a regular meeting place! The friendly owners and managers made it a breeze with not the least trouble to get settled in! 5 star for sure!
