Mighty Oaks Retreat · 1904 House on 352 Acres

Mighty Oaks Retreat is in the open country near D'Hanis, a short drive from Hondo. The property covers 352 acres with a seasonal pond, and miles of quiet country roads run through the surrounding land, good for a drive or a motorcycle ride.



The house was built in 1904 and has been restored with care. The living room has a couch, two chairs, a wood-burning fireplace and a Roku TV, and a small alcove off it works as a reading nook or a place for kids to play. The kitchen is built around a wood-topped island with stools, with an oven, a range, a microwave, a toaster and both regular and K-cup coffee makers. There are two bedrooms, one of them detached, plus a sunroom with a queen pull-out couch, a small dining table and its own mini-split. Both bathrooms have vintage tubs, and the main bath has a shower as well. Central air and heat, ceiling fans, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, good cell coverage and a washer and dryer are all here.



Behind the house, country rockers sit under the trees. A shaded veranda has a conversation pit for a larger group, and there is a hot tub, a charcoal grill and a fire pit. The acreage is open for hiking, bird and wildlife watching, and stargazing.



Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

When guests ask what we like about Mighty Oaks, we start with the land. The house was built in 1904 and sits on 352 acres with a seasonal pond, open for walking, birding and stargazing. Miles of country roads surround the property, which suits people who came to drive or ride. And the second bedroom is detached, so two couples each get some privacy.

— Spencer and Jess, Backroads Hill Country

Nice stay

Adorable place way back in the country. The lawn was long so it wasn't horribly inviting to walk around the property. The house was comfortable and had a very neat set up.

Lil house in the country

This stay was amazing. So quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed sitting outside in the cool hill country weather. Loved that there are cows with new calves running around. Also enjoyed the morning wake up by the rooster on property. This property was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this little piece of heaven to anyone.

Beautiful and relaxing

We wanted to disconnect from the city and this property was exactly that! Beautiful old house, very nice farm. We enjoyed particularly how social all the animals on the farm were! We made friends with all of them and they definitely made our stay more interesting, given that the weather did not cooperate - it rained most of the time.

Peaceful country retreat

Amazing location, very private and peaceful. We a little difficult to get to the location because it is in a very remote location. We honestly thought we were in the wrong place when we first arrived. But we finally found our way to the house! It was beautiful, very clean! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook. We thoroughly enjoyed our time! It was so peaceful! Will absolutely be staying here again in the future!

Secluded Retreat!

This property is secluded and quiet - it was an amazing get away from the city. My husband and I spent a weekend here with our dog, who loved being able to roam free and stretch her legs. The house has a lot of charm - I enjoyed going from room to room, figuring out what was original and what had been added on. The only reason I gave this property a four-star rating was because of the cleanliness, which could be improved. There was a lot of dust and cobwebs in all the corners, the coffee pot hadn't been cleaned out from the last stay, and there was a bit of an ant problem. Despite this, we enjoyed our stay - the location was just perfect, nice and quiet, no one around - there was even a llama that roamed the front yard almost the entire time we were there!

Nice property

There were a couple items he can work on like marking where you need to drive to exit the gates. We ran out of TP in one bathroom and no extra in the house. The baths could use bath mats and the mineral deposits in the tubs didn’t look good. The light over the shed came on ever time the water pump filled the out side tank. Over all it was a nice place Place and I’m sure the owner will fix these little items in the future. If our main place we stay was every full this would be our second choice.
