About this property

Casitas at Madrona Ranch - Casita

The casita sits on a lake with amazing views of the hill country and nature.

Perched on a hillside overlooking Red Bluff Creek, the Casita at Madrona Ranch has everything you need for a relaxing family getaway! This is one of the best waterfront cabin rentals we have at Backroads Reservations, with its amazing views of the Hill Country, quiet rural setting, and convenience to the shops and attractions of nearby Pipe Creek and Boerne. Inside and out-from the tree-lined property to the rustic beamed ceilings, this sweet little cabin has to be seen to be believed!

With mountain views, water activities available close by, the pet-friendly and kid-friendly Casita has all the makings for the best weekend getaway. The 14-acre property provides plenty of space for exploration and wildlife watching, and it's remote enough to enjoy in relaxing solitude while still having access to awesome towns within a short drive. Miles of scenic Hill Country roads surround the property for a motorcycle or car tour!

Deer often stroll right up to the shaded patio that fronts the Casita, and there's plenty of patio furniture. Red Bluff Creek is the perfect setting for cooling off, or just unplugging for a while (water levels vary based on seasonal rain; please check with us). Share the soothing quiet with your loved ones around the fire pit and have a Lone Star barbecue on the grill provided. Take in the views on the spacious ranch with a leisurely hike and look up in wonder at the crystalline stars on clear nights.

Facing the patio is a glass wall that gives panoramic views of the picturesque hills. The warm, wood-accented interior includes a full bath with shower, a king-sized bed, and an additional king-sized trundle, which sleeps up to four comfortably. All bed and bath linens are included, and the kitchenette features a microwave, coffee machine, mini fridge, and two-burner cook top. Laundry facilities are also available. Comfort is provided by box heat and air conditioning, and there's a satellite TV, DVD player, and wireless Internet access for your entertainment, along with good cell service.

When it comes to vacation rentals with mountain views, the Casita at Madrona Ranch stands proudly among the very best. The location, amenities, and overall beauty of this property make it an amazing hideaway destination. Backroads Reservations will be proud to help you make it happen!

Beautiful location, very nice cabin

cabin was comfortable with views of the near by hills and large pond. Fire Pit, outdoor spa, and chairs just out the door. Although the site was isolated, it was only a 10mile drive to the great restaurants in Boerne.

Lovely cozy cabin in natural surroundings

This small cabin is on a larger rural property where the owners have their house. However, the cabin is separated from the main house and other structures, and a small privacy fence enhances the feeling of being apart. The cabin faces onto a small valley and small lake, with a nice view of the surrounding hills. The lake attracts large herons, and there is a herd of deer that seems to like the property - we saw them every day of our stay. The patio and outdoor area are perfectly set up to relax and enjoy nature, with several comfortable seating options. The entire area is shaded by live oaks and other trees, making it pleasant even in a Texas heat wave - the breeze helps. We would sit out there every morning after sunrise and every evening before sunset to just watch the wildlife and enjoy the view. While there is nothing in the immediate vicinity of the cabin, the location is a good base to explore the area, including being 10-15 min from Bandera and Boerne - both towns offer charm, shopping and good restaurants. A little further out is Comfort, and even Kerrville is easily accessible for more options. The cabin itself is one large room and a bathroom, all very nicely decorated and very comfortable. The AC works great. There is a small kitchen area in one corner and a small dining table area in the opposite corner. The bathroom is good size and well-furnished. There is a shower enclosure which is a little tight. The bed is a large king and very comfortable.
