3 Bedroom Cabin in Hunt

If your family is looking for a private getaway or a quiet romantic location, The GateHouse at Guadalupe Bluffs Ranch is perfect. The GateHouse and our location on the Guadalupe River were not affected by the July 4th floods.
We are located outside Hunt, Texas approximately 22 miles west of Kerrville, The Gatehouse allows for comfort and great location to enjoy nature on this historic Hill Country Ranch. We are pet friendly, so please bring along the family dog(s). They will love to romp in the water and check out the new sights and smells! Your canine family will LOVE being at The GateHouse!!!
We are located at the spring fed waters at the head of the Guadalupe River. Step into the cool water for swimming and fishing. One section has an area with easy access that is larger than an Olympic pool. Great swimming area for families and children. Bring your ice chest & picnic for a day on the river, just steps from the cabin. A perfect place to enjoy a warm Hill Country Day in Texas.
Fall and winter are great times to visit The GateHouse. The house is warm and cozy.
The firepit is available to sit around, tell stories or make S'mores. We even provide the firewood, complimentary!
You are free to hike around the ranch, to see the animals, the beautiful cliffs and crystal clear waters. When the weather is cool, the deer, turkey, foxes and other animals also enjoy the cool weather so you will have greater chances to see them. In November and through December, the hillsides and roadways are covered with multi-colored trees before they lose their leaves. You will see bright reds, yellow and amber colors as they reflect on the waters. Truly a beautiful site.
The Springtime is a beautiful time to be in this area of Texas. You will be sure to see the famous Bluebonnets and all the other wildflowers that line the roads and fill the neighboring ranches.
The Gatehouse overlooks a large private lake for your use. Be sure to bring along your fishing pole as this lake is stocked with Guadalupe bass & catfish. Most recently, we had a group of guests who caught 10 bass in just a few minutes in the private lake! No worry, they did catch and release so there are still many bass and catfish for you to get.
Stroll past the 8 acre pecan orchard to The Guadalupe River. Great swimming, floating, paddleboarding and fishing along the river with easy access. Our guests enjoy fly-fishing in the river.
We have dark skies for your night studies and private rural location for relaxation for your daytime use. You are welcome to bring along your telescopes to check out the skies. You are welcome to pick your best spot on the ranch to do your viewings.
The Gatehouse has 3 bedrooms with sleeping for 6. Bedroom 1 has a double bed and Bedroom 2 has a queen bed; both on the first floor. Bedroom 3 is a full height loft on second floor with one queen bed and 3 twins. One bathroom with full shower with glass enclosure and washer/dryer for your use. The kitchen is fully outfitted, you only need to bring along your food and personal items. We provide paper goods, linens & towels. Central air & heat. BBQ pit for your cooking enjoyment. Don't forget to bring along your favorite charcoal, starter and seasonings for your outdoor cooking. We have complimentary WIFI and multiple TV Channels. & music. There is a phone line available for our guests use as many cell service providers to not work in this area. We even provide complimentary firewood for the firepit. So, be sure to bring along the makings for S'mores. We have made every effort to think about your comfort and convenience.
The Gatehouse is on the over 100 acre Guadalupe Bluffs Ranch. This historic ranch offers a large private stocked lake. Other than the Main House, which is on the other side of the ranch, there are no other cabins to share the area. It is your private location. You are free to hike the ranch or stroll through and relax in the 8 acre pecan orchard that is adjacent to the Guadalupe River. While you hike, you may see our herd of friendly donkeys, our rescue cow, Maisie (she the queen of the ranch), and our herd of Texas Longhorns.
We are located in the Texas Hill Country. With easy access, just 26 miles south of I-10 at Exit 490.
Want to enjoy one of the most beautiful drives in Texas? Make the trip from Kerrville to Ingram and follow Hwy 39 to Hunt, Tx. Turn right on 1340. Go 11 miles, after the Mo Ranch sign, turn left on Rock Bottom Road. This drive will take you over and along the Guadalupe River, past magnificent bluffs, fine ranches, camps and houses built along the river. Note the mighty cypress & pecan trees along the way. Deer graze along the roadside. Check out the birds and other wildlife that can be seen as you drive along.
We have a three night minimum stay requirement. We offer the 3 night stay minimum because we are remote and our guests come from great distances to stay. To truly enjoy the ranch, 3 nights is a minimum. We encourage a 4 night stay, to get the full benefit of getting away at "the ranch" . However, if you are only able to visit for 2 night stay, please check our calendar for open dates and send an inquiry to check if we can do a 2 night stay for the dates you are wanting. Our ability to offer a 2 night stay, often is driven by the availability of staff to clean before and after the stay. Advance reservation is required, but if you are looking for a "last minute getaway", don't hesitate to check with us.
We are about an hour or less from many popular areas, such as Fredericksburg, Lost Maples State Park, Twisted Sisters Highway, Leakey, Junction, Kerrville, Camp Verde, Bandera. There are many summer camps close by. Kerr Wildlife Management is about 2 miles. So you can enjoy rest, privacy and venture out to these locations for shopping, dining, wine tasting, and scenic sites.
As a note: We welcome pets. When the VRBO system gives a rate quote when a guest indicates they will be bringing pets, they only give a quote for one pet staying. Our pet rate is $35.00 a night, per pup. So when there are multiple pups staying, we have to manually update the rate quote. Our pet guests LOVE the ranch. They are free to run without leashes (with their People's permission) to enjoy the freedom of running, sniffing and just rolling in the leaves or jumping in the water. The area around The GateHouse is fenced and when fully gated allows for a contained area for our canine guests.
We hope to have you as our guests soon!
Thank you for checking out The GateHouse at Guadalupe Bluffs Ranch. A Hill Country favorite!
Your Hosts,
Sandy & Mike
