The Bluff Springs Lodge
Enjoy a great country experience on this 1350 acre Hill Country ranch ten miles south of Bandera. Spend the day hiking the property and viewing the abundant wildlife that calls Bluff Springs Ranch lodge.
**Instant booking is not available for this property. You must call us or send a request to check availability prior to booking**
Amenities, location, and breathtaking mountain views all come together to make the Bluff Springs Lodge an ideal getaway in the Texas Hill Country! This HUGE and newly-constructed rental property is located on an immense 1,350-acre ranch located midway between the renowned entertainment and shopping spots of Bandera and Hondo. With sleeping accommodations for up to 18 people, this pet-friendly and kid-friendly lodge is the perfect place to pamper yourself and all your friends and family.
"Everything's bigger in Texas" comes to life here: big country, big extras, big fun! Your next large gathering will be comfortably at home here, with everything ranging from socializing on the grounds to exploring Hondo and Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World. It's easily among the top vacation homes for rental, with fun and natural attractions like the Medina River and the Hill State Natural Area within a half-hour's drive.
Outside, the shaded wrap-around porch is abundantly equipped with patio furniture, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit (firewood available at a minimal fee). The sprawling ranch surrounding the lodge assures plenty of privacy, and it's ideal for quiet strolls and wildlife watching. There's no better place to unplug from the everyday grind and connect with nature! While pets are welcome here, they are to be kenneled when inside. Also, smoking is allowed, but only outdoors, please.
The massive interior of this hunting lodge-style abode always takes our guests' breath away! It's roomy and fun, with multiple conversation areas and a large game room stocked with tables for pool, foosball, and poker. Booking here includes the enormous, fully-equipped kitchen, of course-and full catering of all meals can also be yours for an additional fee. The four bedroom suites and 14 beds assure comfortable rest for up to 18 people, and quality bed and bath linens are included. The four full bathrooms are all furnished with walk-in showers. Satellite TV with DVD player and great cell service round out the tech amenities, and ceiling fans and central A/C and heat keep everyone comfortable. Finally, there's a washer and dryer on site, too.
Hondo area vacation rentals reach their pinnacle in the luxurious setting of the Bluff Springs Lodge! Backroads Reservations is proud to offer this astounding gathering spot to our visitors; give us a call today!
