About this property

Mountain View Lodge- 23 acre, Riverfront Ranch

Mountain View Lodge lies on the western edge of the scenic Texas Hill Country, offering spectacular views & sunsets--great for gatherings large or small. The lodge sits high above crystal-clear, spring-fed Pulliam creek (Middle Prong of the Nueces River), which is ideal for swimming, tubing, and snorkeling. A 5-ft-deep swimming hole is at the lodge. Accommodations: Upstairs: 2 bedrooms with king beds. Downstairs there are beds for 8 people (additionally, there are 3 comfortable foam pads, pillows & bedding). Large decks on both levels with 4 private entrances to the house to avoid disturbing others. TELECOMMUTE FROM THE RANCH! Super-fast, fiber-optic internet. Do your Zoom business and school meetings wirelessly. A 55-inch Roku TV is downstairs and a 50-inch Roku TV is upstairs. Weather Conditions: It is not just summertime that's great in the Hill Country. Fall, spring, and even winter are some of the most wonderful weather days. Pets ages 1 year or over are welcome.

This place fits our needs nicely. It’s secluded and has a fantastic swimming hole. The house is clean and comfy with a big deck overlooking a fabulous view. You’ll get your exercise going up and down the hill to the river.

Description was spot on. The house was great plenty of room. Wi-Fi worked. Five minute walk down to the water and the creek was actually running. We caught plenty of little fishies in the swimming hole. Cooked on the barbecue and enjoyed the amazing view and the peaceful serenity. Thank you so much for sharing your home! We fully intend to make this a yearly stay.

Always love staying here. We’ve been here for 5 years in a row and plan to keep coming back. It flooded this time which is crazy to see but also so different than how it normally is when we are down here. Still beautiful though!

My family and I love coming here, the water was great, and we love Mr. Donkey. My only complaint is the rooms with carpet do have a mildew smell on them. Overall the house is exceptionally well supplied, and all instructions are simple and clear. Thank you Kermit, we enjoyed our stay.

Weekend getaway

We come to Kermit’s every year with family but this year we thought we would take a trip just adults. We had a great time as usual. We look forward to many more trips.

Soooo relaxing

This lodge is tucked away at the end of a long road and is so nice. It’s very quiet and relaxing. We love sitting out on the decks and watching the many types of birds. The river is just down the hill and it is beautiful.
