About this property

3H Ranch Mountain Retreat | 60-Acre Ranch

  • 🌊 Pond | 🐾 Pet Friendly | 👥 Sleeps 15 |⏰Free Early Check-In (when available) | 📱Free Hill Country Travel App



    Are you trying to find the perfect Hill Country getaway for a large group of family and friends? 3H Ranch Mountain Retreat offers the space, privacy, and flexibility that big groups need — all set on a scenic 60-acre ranch in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.



    Located between Medina and Vanderpool, this retreat is close to Bandera, Tarpley, Medina, Utopia, and Vanderpool, with Lost Maples State Natural Area and Hill Country State Natural Area within a short drive. History lovers will appreciate the nearby ghost town of Tuff, located along the same road as the property.



    A spring-fed creek and private pond sit less than a minute’s walk from the home. Guests can enjoy catch-and-release fishing, kayaking, tubing, or relaxing by the water (water levels may vary). Wildlife sightings are common, and evenings are best spent under the stars around the fire pit or gathered on the shaded patio with plenty of seating and a picnic table.



    Inside, this remodeled 1960s ranch house blends rustic character with comfort. Wood accents and corrugated metal details give the home a warm Hill Country feel, while thoughtful updates make it well-suited for group stays. The home features five bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and ten beds, comfortably accommodating up to 16 guests.



    The large kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, ample pantry space, and everything needed for group meals. Two dining areas and a bar with seating make it easy for everyone to gather together. Additional indoor spaces include a dedicated office/work area, a TV room, a living room with multiple seating areas, and entertainment options like a pool table. Wi-Fi is available throughout the home (cell service is limited, and Wi-Fi calling is recommended).



    Fresh bed and bath linens are provided. Washer and dryer access is available. Window AC units are used for cooling during warmer months and are turned on in advance for guest comfort.



    Please note: Pond levels may be lower than shown in photos, and the floating dock may not always be in use.



    Hosted and professionally managed by Backroads Hill Country, a local Hill Country company focused on quality, comfort, and exceptional guest experiences.

Did what it needed to do

We picked this spot as a mental reset for a couple of first responders, and a super busy kid. For that it was perfect. Phone only kinda worked, and that’s a good thing for me. Turkeys were fun to talk to. Close enough to town for a quick run if needed, but far enough out to feel secluded. The stars are amazing out there. Getting buzzed by fighter jets was an unexpected thrill. All good stuff. Some things weren’t quite what we were expecting. Downstairs looked like a fresh remodel. Upstairs felt like deer camp. Stuff like an outdoor security light wired in on the stairs wasn’t what we expected. The one frying pan and baking pan were pretty wore out. We bought a new frying pan and left it there. Both BBQ pits could use new grates. I planned on cooking ribs, but didn’t want to fight the rust. The home built one was impressive though. The fishing was good. We all caught something, including a rod and reel from the pond. We left it on the porch for future guests. I wish the dock was where it is in all the pictures online. Seems to be a big marketing point for it not be useable. All in all we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us.

Overall this place is perfect... When they recommend a high clearance vehicle, they're serious.

We had a great time. There is a fenced yard around the house which is very nice for youngsters.

Not as advertised.

House was clean but old and outdated. Had photo of a pond that was empty. I realize you can’t control rain and rivers but if you say pond it should be maintained by some water source.

Awesome property to disconnect and renew batteries

The property was great, it was exact what I was looking for. I wanted to disconnect from the city life and breath fresh air. Although, some of the days were rainy, we made the most of it. It was a great experience and will definitely stay here again.

Hill Country Getaway

It was extremely hot and dry during our stay so we enjoyed having the pool table during the the heat of the day. Mornings and evenings we enjoyed watching the deer and birds. Hope to go back when there is actually some water in the the creek and pond.

Our family vacation

I really enjoyed our stay at this property but wasn’t completely happy about the ac situation. Several of the room stayed pretty warm due to the window units not being enough to cool the whole house.
