Whether you want to tour the Hill Country Wineries, enjoy spectacular and private bird watching, find adventure at some great Texas Lakes, or get the kiddos away from the screens, our Ranch will provide the perfect home base for you, your girlfriends, or your family. The Ranch, and our guesthouse, is an easy 40 minute drive to the perennially “weird” city of Austin, the beautiful Horseshoe Bay, and a quick 20 minute jaunt to the breathtaking Inks Lake or fishing at Lake Buchanan.
The property has a main house with wrap-around porch and great natural light and a separate, newly renovated guest house. The set-up is perfect for multiple families traveling together.
The main house has two bedrooms, the master with a king size bed and a guest room with a full size and twin size bed and sleeps 5. A toddler mattress is available too.
The guest house has a private entrance and requires the use of indoor stairs to access. The large space is a fully open suite with a king size bed and full size bed. The space sleeps 4 adults or a family of 5 comfortably. Many families with three kids use the space and we provide bedding for the couch (it is not a pullout) which is comfy for kids or teens.
The pool and covered outdoor kitchen are for the exclusive use of our guests. Feel like taking a walk? Our private trails are perfect for a wooded stroll - wildlife included!
Interested in hosting a small party or event at the Ranch? Message us! We are open to discuss possibilities. We have a covered 40x60 pavilion with limestone fireplace and an outdoor bar plus extra restrooms. Parties must be pre-authorized or may incur an additional charge.

The Ranch is truly an escape... with views of pastures and rolling hills, and most importantly the big and bright stars of Texas.
Our Ranch has lots of animals! From cows to foxes, there are plenty of furry and feathered residents. Painted buntings, cardinals, and humming birds love to visit our feeders. You never know when you will see deer, rabbits, or raccoons taking advantage of our wooded spaces as well!
Riser Ranch is perfect for ladies' groups, families traveling together, or even small events.
The Ranch has security cameras by the entrance and facing the driveway.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Mansfield
Our blended family knows busy! With seven kids and three grandkids, we wanted to find a place to retire that would bring the kids home every year. Until retirement happens...we want to share our beautiful home deep in the heart of Texas.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this 28 acres of heaven so our family could escape the city with a short drive. We love Texas and Riser Ranch provides a serene and green refuge that we want to share with other families.
