About this property

A Texas Hill Country Getaway

We recently did updates to the property. New carpet and tile and a beautiful deck to enjoy the views. We were ranked as one of the top 10 Texas Farm Stays for the summer. MVP Lodging is a true vacation from the city and a true experience. You have access to a large farm of 35 acres. This cozy 3 bedroom 2 bath home has great accommodations for those looking to be comfortable, with a throwback to true county living. Pictures can not capture its beauty and the absence of light pollution is stunning at night.

Our 35 acres are available to you for relaxation and provide an escape from the city and stressful life. There are 17 acres of undeveloped land for nature walks and bird watching with premier spots to sit and just relax with a glass of wine.

MVP is a working ranch with chickens, goat, donkeys, sheep and a horse. It’s not for the faint of heart, wild animals and rough terrain are part of the experience. Not suitable for children Fee is for 2 people. ADDITIONAL persons after 2 are $39 per night

MVP is easily accessible to many things to do. We are 7 miles from Sisterdale Texas, and in the other direct, about 9 miles from Blanco state Park and 281. If you want to explore the area we are local to several famous areas such as Luckennbach, Texas and Johnson City. For the shopper and wine drinker we are about 40 miles from Fredricksburg. There’s truly something for everyone.
(Gated property requires checkin and access by 9 pm on the day of arrival )

Our favorite place in the hill country

This was our second stay at MVP ranch. Pete and Michelle are fantastic people and their property is perfect for a getaway. We spent a week here for our annual birthday trip. The ranch has goats, sheep, donkeys and horses. You'll also see a lot of deer. The guest house has all the comforts of home including a full kitchen. Close enough for day trips into Fredericksburg but country enough you can see the stars at night. We'll definitely be going back for another visit. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

There's nothing not to like about the property. The home was beautiful and spacious, the beds were SO comfortable, it was very "home-y". If we had had more time there, we would have taken advantage of the trails in the woods that the owner has created. It took some getting used to driving the curvy and hilly roads to the property at night, but well worth it. I highly recommend it!

FANTASTIC

There's not enough superlatives to do a review justice. Suffice to say we'd give them 10 or more stars if we could. Pete and Michelle are the consummate hosts! A very relaxing, beautiful retreat. We highly recommend and we WILL be back!

Top Notch Choice!

My wife, her youngest grown son, and I stayed in this wonderful rental for 3 nights while we toured the area. It was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. The hosts, Pete and Michelle were fabulous, the cabin was super clean and roomy, and while remote, the location very quiet and peaceful. The cabin wasn't fancy, but totally perfect for what we wanted. It is Central Texas/ Hill Country in all aspects.

Peaceful on the ranch

Pete and Michelle were the perfect hosts! We could not have chosen a better place to stay to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. They were so thoughtful and made sure we had everything we needed. Even left us an anniversary surprise. Thank you so much Pete and Michelle! Your property is so beautiful and peaceful. Not a better place to go to relieve stress. Make sure you go out a view the beautiful night sky when you stay there.

Relaxing spot to get away

Enormous thanks to Pete and Michelle who are outstanding hosts. They met us at the gate and Pete gave us a tour of the ranch house and the ranch and told us of the great hamburgers at the nearby General Store. We were in the area to attend a celebration of Johnny Bush's 85th birthday at Twin Sister's Dancehall. We loved the ranch, the goats, sheep, and horses, not to mention the wildlife we saw and heard. The ranch house has all the comforts and we look forward to returning. Jim and Carolyn

Better than a massage.

Large comfortable home on ranch with great hosts, funny and friendly animals, and wide open skies full of stars. Remarkably cool temps throughout stay. Central to many wineries and state parks. Watched our stress melt away. Better than a massage.
