Ranchito Cabin · Hilltop, Hot Tub & Longhorns

Ranchito Cabin sits on a hilltop just north of Hondo, on a 40-acre ranch with more than two miles of marked hiking trails. The setting is remote and private, with views of thirty miles or more across the Hill Country in every direction. Hondo, Bandera, Pipe Creek and Lakehills are all within reach for a day out.



Inside, the cabin is furnished in warm earth tones, with a living area built around a fireplace and a Roku TV with a Blu-ray and DVD player. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining table seats six. Three bedrooms and two full baths sleep up to nine, and the second bedroom has a dedicated workspace with a monitor. It is all on one level, with central air and heat, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi and a washer and dryer.



Outside there is a covered patio, a fire pit, a gas grill and a nine-person hot tub, and the hilltop is made for sunsets and stars. The playscape is there for the kids. Longhorn cattle are part of the ranch and often come by the cabin. There is also an RV spot with hookups.



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 Ranchito Cabin, we start with the Longhorns. They live on the ranch and often wander up to the cabin, keeping their distance as long as guests keep theirs. The property is 40 acres with more than two miles of marked hiking trails, so there is somewhere to walk every morning. For families, the playscape outside and the fireplace inside cover both ends of the day.
