About this property

Take in distant views from the deck, relax in the plunge pool ( heated September- May) settle in for an unforgettable stay at this romantic getaway.
"The Bunkhouse", as called by the family for generations, was recently updated to share with guests the unique experience of being nestled away on this special spot of the Ranch in the Texas hills.

Outside you will also find a fenced in yard with gated entry and stone fire pit.

Date Night Getaway

Surprised my husband with a little date night getaway. Love how you are so close to San Antonio but feel like you drove to the hill country. Your place was clean, well furnished with anything we could need & nicely decorated with pretty linens etc. Patio was where we forgot about the rest of the world and enjoyed most of our stay. The view was just wonderful! What a little gem!

Heaven

That’s right, we thought we were in heaven. After all what could be more perfect than an infinity edge, heated pool overlooking the Guadalupe River and verdant pastures below. There was limited cell service which was a little frustrating at first. But we quickly realized that was a blessing. This brought back happy memories of many summers spent at hill country girls camp. But alcohol was permitted here. We want to come back!

Double booked by owner. Not notified until 4 hours before check-in

VRBO and this owner really let me down, left me without a place to stay 4 hours before I was to check in. It's the owners fault for not coordinating with other short term apps. However, VRBO is who I used and your company left me hanging. Very disappointing experience with VRBO.

Serene views

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night to celebrate her birthday and we couldn’t have found more of a gem. The views off the back patio are spectacular and we enjoyed the lounge pool. If you’re a stargazer, this is the perfect spot. The place was clean and neat, and the kitchen stocked with utensils. Definitely stay here if you get the chance!

Sister In Law Get Away

This little bunkhouse was just right for us 4 sister in laws! The views were amazing and the "lounging" pool was perfect for us. We loved being away from it all. The owners were awesome! We even made a friend with a raccoon that visited every night. The river was a short mile or so from the entrance to the Ranch and we went to enjoy it one evening. Other than that we did not leave at all! One tiny aggravation was the back door did not close well, but I hate to even complain everything else was perfect!

Secluded Peaceful Hideaway

What a great place to just get away from it all and forget about the world for a few days. Secluded and peaceful with an amazing view, yet only 30 minutes from San Antonio. Everything you need to forget about the stress of everyday life is here, including the super fun and warm plunge pool with infinity edge, a propane grill ready to cook, and a full kitchen. The owner was friendly and super-responsive as well. Recharge and reconnect here and you won't be disappointed!

Great Getaway

We had a great long weekend getaway here. The pool is outstanding, with amazing views. We saw deer, cows, goats, and plenty of other wildlife. We heard the peacock, but never got to see it! A great place to relax and unwind. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Check out the town of Boerne nearby, it was a treat.

Relaxing location with an awesome view!

We only got to spend two days here but had a great time. The ranch bunkhouse offers a very secluded getaway. Very quiet and relaxing soaking in the infinity pool and looking over the Guadalupe River down below the cliffside. There's hardly any houses or people around so it really allows you to feel like you've gotten away from it all. Hope to go back one day when we can spend more time there.

A-mazing property and home

This is an amazing property. The views are unbelievable. The infinity dipping pool overlooking the Guadalupe River...well there are no words. There’s a fire pit, bbq pit and lively deck furniture. The rock work indoors brings the outdoors in. We’ve been twice and will definitely be going back again and again.

Beautiful views, cold hot tub

The house is very cute and had everything we needed but we were very disappointed that the pool on the deck never got above lukewarm. We absolutely felt we were paying extra for the hot tub, and as it was a cold night we couldn't use it at all. Very disappointing.

Beautiful setting but overpriced

The high points of this property are the exteriors: the view, hot tub overlooking the view, and the country setting. The cabin interior in fact is very simple and basic. We were disappointed with that aspect of it and in our opinion is overpriced; (missing curtains at some windows, no cooking essentials at all except salt and pepper, only two wash cloths supplied, etc) Choose this cabin if you expect to spend most of your time outside - that part is truly amazing!

The Bunkhouse was amazing We did not want to leave.

There were only 2 drawbacks. One the door into the toilet was stuck too many times. Two, There were several scorpions both in the house and out back on the patio. Overall We had a wonderful time. Next year we will come back and stay at the bunkhouse the entire time.

Perfect!

Well, where to start?! I had put on the request when booking that it was my boyfriend’s birthday, and as soon as I had booked this stay online, Bill was in contact straight away asking if there was anything they could do to make it extra special. When we arrived, there were balloons in his favourite football team colours, bottle of wine and a card - it was awesome, and a lot of effort was put into it. The cottage itself is very clean, spacious enough but still very homely, and had everything you would need for a stay away. As soon as you walk out of the back doors onto the decking, its breath-taking. Beautiful views, perfect sun trap and so secluded you really do feel like you are in a different world – we did have plans to go tubing on the river and go and look around the local towns, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave this beautiful place. The infinity pool is amazing!!! Of course the views are gorgeous, but the size is also very good, there were 6 of us in there most of the time and still very spacious, and the fact its temperature controlled is perfect for the 2/3am star gazing that we ended up doing (both nights:)) – a sight like I’ve never seen before. We used the BBQ both days we were there and this worked perfectly. Eating inside in the dining area is perfect and again plenty of space for 6 people. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect, especially being the first time we'd stayed in America, let alone on a ranch, but it was perfect. Thank you so much Owl Spring Ranch, we hope to visit again soon.

Incredible View in the Most Amazing Little Cottage

We loved our recent stay at the Owl Spring Ranch's bunkhouse. The cottage is so beautifully decorated and has everything you'll need for your stay. There are also really neat touches such as custom sinks and a really cool custom dinner table booth. It's very cozy and unique. Beautifully done! The infinity hot tub on the back porch is nestled on top of a cliff overlooking the beautiful Guadalupe River. It's one of the most incredible views you've probably seen in a while. The back porch is outfitted with a propane grill and they also have a fire pit off to the side of the hot tub which would be fabulous in winter. It's also just a few minutes drive from a really amazing Beer Garden, The Roundup and also not too far from Boerne which has tons of great restaurants and shopping etc. We loved our stay and hope to return again!

Very relaxing atmosphere

Loved staying on the Ranch away from the hustle and bustling, perfect for our late afternoon/evenings. The deck with Infinity Tub was a treasure, overlooking the Guadalupe with fantastic views. At night, great spot to stargaze. The bunkhouse was clean with supplied with the daily essentials. Erin, our host was exceptional nice and very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to return in the near future.
