About this property

Bar None Ranch Booking Spring Break and Flower Season!!

Luxurious ranch house awaits you and your Perfect for a family get together, girls or guy retreat, shooting sports trip or even a Romantic Weekend. The Ranch is a great for remote getaway! No outside intervention or contact. Remote check-in.
Located on 165 acres of Texas Hill Country remoteness and sliced through by the James River, the Bar None River Ranch appeals to the outdoor enthusiast who desires privacy. The ranch is located in southern Mason County in the Hill Country, outside of the historic small towns of Mason and Fredericksburg. The James River runs through the middle of the property. The ranch now has fiber internet making it the perfect place for a corporate retreat.

In the spring, wildflowers abound. In the summer you can cool down in one of the largest springs chutes in the hill country. In the fall just enjoy the crystal clear star filled skies. In the winter the outdoor fireplace will keep you toasty warm. We are only a few hundred yards away from the Eckert Bat Cave one of the true wonders of the Texas Hill Country. At night you will hear coyotes howl at the moon off in the distance!

This is an actively managed wildlife ranch. We seldom mow the main field that surrounds the skeet range as it abounds in wildflowers and is a sanctuary for horn toads and small ground birds. So bring appropriate footwear and clothing.

Watch the sunset from the 10' wide 360 degree wrap around porch or one of the private picnic tables overlooking the river.

There is a nice pavillion that is great to hold an outdoor classroom and our WI-FI is believe are not high speed fiber!

There is a full skeet range with a high and low houses equipped to throw clay targets. (Manual Pull) Plus a full rifle range out to 1000 yards. We also have a small bermed pistol range.

The James River has several small pools were bass and perch can be caught and released.

Located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country the place is just across the James River from the Nature Conservacy's Eckert Bat Cave. The gate is a waist high rock with a cattle gate painted like a Texas Flag. The gate is locate about 100 feet past the rock corral going away from the river on the south side away from Mason. The property is about 50 minutes outside of Fredricksberg and 20 minutes outside of Mason. Please note that from Mason you have 2 shallow river crossings and some dirt roads. This is an active wildlife ranch and we have game cameras around the property all of them are focused on game feeders. Enjoy your stay on this beautiful property!

Not for everyone

This is a wonderful getaway place and we enjoyed our time very much. The place could have been cleaner and better organized, but overall we coped. They need to mow around the house to reduce goat heads and should have cleared the grass and weeds from the picnic area under the tree so we could use it. They could also mow clear pathways to the gun range and target. There were so many dirt dobbers and flies. They could set up traps away from the house instead of on the porch and clean out the wasp traps to maybe help and provide fly swatters. The issues we encountered were disappointing, but not issues everyone may face. We had a baby and 3 small children along with 2 elderly adults. We chose this place due to the gun ranges and water, but access to the water was not feasible for our group. Getting to the "swimming hole" requires a trek along a path through underbrush, trees, and rocks; how you get out of the water safely, we couldn't figure it out so we didn't get in. The trek from the roadway, was all rocks and a long walk. There was no way we could use the all-terrain wagon to get the kids to the water, much less the elderly being able to walk safely along the rocky path. That being said, we did enjoy our stay and made the best of the situation. We thought ahead and brought a water bounce toy and splash pad for the kids and were able to hook those up at the house. Some love and TLC would do this place a lot of good.

Fabulous Retreat….unplugged

Escape your busy life. Unplug for a few days. Total reset for our family. We had a fire on the porch every night, analyzed all our favorite songs. Enjoyed the remoteness of it all. Saw lots of wildlife, ate like Kings. We weren’t ready to come back to real life. Our host was amazing. Easy check in and check out. This is a good one.

Great place for a get away

Quiet, secluded, but an easy drive to Mason or Fredericksburg. Wildlife to watch at night, swimming hole and river chutes to enjoy in the heat. Plenty of room for a large family or group of friends.

Secluded Escape

If you want to get away without interruption, this is the place! It is way way off the beaten path. House is great plenty of room - it is in the county except dust to come in and critters outside. there is a TV but bring something to play on it over the wifi - the River crossing deeper than 6" (at least when we came) there is another route that is less washboard and only a lower water wet weather creek crossings (use the use the Fredricksburg directions) the dino bones were great - when they say the back feeder they mean across the river and way way back - the top of the hill back feeder. everyone had a great time including the dog. hiking, shooting, swimming, and sitting around laughing. - would definitely stay again

Great getaway!

This is a great place to escape! Our extended family came for a long weekend. We enjoyed the wrap-around porch to watch people shoot skeet in the distance while the little ones played on the porch. The river was a great place to take an “adventure” to for the littles. It had something for everyone! Tim was very responsive to any question we had. Overall, it was a great experience!

Beautiful Ranch in Hill Country

Wonderful property by the beautiful James River. It was a little hard to find but Tim stayed on the phone with us until we got to the House. Fully stocked house and tons of Firewood available for the beautiful wood burning fireplace. Comfortable beds with all the kitchen supplies you could want. The peace and quiet was so needed. The sunrises and sunsets on the porch could not have been better! During our stay we were going to experience some extreme temperatures. Tim had us extra firewood brought in, generator on stand by and home prepped for a freeze. Thank goodness never lost power or water. Will 100% come back. Didn’t get to use the gun range this time but I will on our next visit. Also, as women staying there we never felt nervous or unsafe. It was relaxing and just what was needed. Thank You again!!!

Hidden Gem

This is a very remote home nestled in the beautiful hill country. Very bumpy dirt roads and river crossings are needed to access this beautiful property. My family (two parents, two in-laws, my husband, two teenage kids, myself and four dogs) went for a few nights to escape the busy city life. This place was beautiful and quiet. The river was close and easy to get to, though it was low. Skeet shooting was fun. We watched the bats emerge from the Eckert Bat cave each evening from the back porch. Lots of wild life as well. Owner was quick to respond and very kind.

Texas Hill Country

The home is beautiful and in an excellent location to view the wildlife and wildflowers. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the solitude. You may want to note that several water crossings are necessary to reach the property and they are subject to flash flooding. (Happened to us twice)

Beautiful quiet time in the country

We had bluebonnets and blue skies for our visit to the bar none! We spent almost all our time outside by the river or on the porch but slept comfortably inside. A really great family time. When we come again we’ll probably bring some bottled water but we did fine with the refrigerator filter water. Lovely time was had by all!

10th year staying at this ranch

My buddies and I have been staying at this ranch every year for the last 10 years. It’s a great place to hang out and catch up with your buddies. The clay shooting is fantastic and they just installed new throwers. The land is beautiful and we enjoy walking the property. We always enjoy the outdoor fireplace. We’ve already reserved the place for next January 2024.

property looked in the pictures that it was maintained about 10 years ago.. as of current the property does not have a gun range as in the description. The furniture was very very old and worn out.. Non of the pool sticks upstairs had any felt left on them so you could not even play a decent game of pool. THe property has potential but it appears that the upkeep and has not been there over the past couple of years.

R&R in the Texas Hill Country

We really enjoyed our time at the Bar None Ranch! As advertized, the property provided gun rangers for the target shooters in our group. Unfortunately, previous guests had not picked up their empty cartridges and shells (as the owner requests), so it was a bit trashy looking, but that didn't detract from their fun. There are plenty of deer and birds to enjoy, the river was cool and the property provided for wonderful hikes. One thing to note: if you hope to watch tv while you are at the Bar None, bring a laptop to livestream to their tv. There isn't any reception. Since we had a laptop this wasn't an issue for us. We had a great time!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for nearly 50 years. The lodge was built for family reunions and family enjoyment. It is very nice for quite weekends, family/friends get together, corporate retreats, training events when you want to do your own thing and not be bothered by anyone.

What makes this property unique

The 'Goodnight Loving' spring flows at over 200 gallons a minute has cut a chute through the limestone for some 400 yards and makes the perfect place to cool down in the summer even on the hottest of days. Picnic benches over look the James River the perfect place to watch the sunset and Texas stars like no other place. Full Skeet Range

In the summer time it is a one minute drive to the Eckert Bat Cave to watch the nightly emergence.

Just a two minute drive puts you in Salt Branch were 'Old Yeller' fought the herd of hogs in Fred Gipsons 'Old yeller'

There is virtually no light pollution and the stars are spectacular on a clear night down at the river.
