About this property

Papa's Palace at Stacy Ranch, cabin on 120 acres between Ingram & Hunt, TX

Good News, see notice at the end.This newly constructed wood and rock cabin has a front porch that overlooks a pond. It is perfect for a quiet, secluded get-away from the city. You can go hiking over the hills, fish down on the river or just relax in the hammock. All kinds of native and exotic Texas wildlife can be seen on the property. The cabin is located just a half mile off Cade Loop road on 120 acres. This area is the most beautiful part of the Texas Hill Country. Though the cabin is out in the country, it is less than a five minute drive to the Guadalupe River and Ingram Lake. The cabin has 400 square feet of living area with a living room/ kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen has a small refrigerator, microwave, sink, and large toaster oven. The living room has a couch that converts into a queen sleeping sofa. The bathroom has a sink, toilet and shower. Ceiling fans are in every room and there are two fans on the front porch. Electric hotel-like ac/heating units in the bedrooms keep you warm or cool. It is a perfect place for a couple or a small family. All of this, plus the modern luxury of limited data ;free WI-FI!

Notice
The lake is full again. We are in the process of restocking fish. We respect to have catch and release fishing in the fall of 2025. Also there are plenty of
swimming and fishing opportunities on Lake Ingram 5 minutes away. So bring your Kayaks or canoes if you want.



If you need more space, there is another cabin (Mimi's Mansion) on the property within walking distance (see VRBO #682415). Discounts given if you book both cabins at the same time .

Cozy country cabin

We had a great stay at the property. It was close to town but also felt like you were in the middle of no where. We took advantage of the hiking and fishing on the property as well as the fire pit. The beds were comfortable so we all slept well.

This place is a gem!

We had a wonderful time in this little cabin. It was completely secluded, peaceful, and serene. At dusk each night, a whippoorwill started singing and we saw several deer. The sunsets were amazing! It was very comfortable and relaxing.

Cozy and Clean

The property was exactly what we wanted for our trip. We took plenty of walks and spent some time swimming with the very social fish in the lake. We would definitely love to stay here again in the future. If you're staying in the warmer months though mosquito spray will be your best friend.

Great private rental!

My kids enjoyed the pond the best and the freedom that all the open space provided. There were clear cool star filled nights and a perfect sitting porch. The cabin is simple, clean and perfect for a small family. Next trip I hope to have friends secure the second cabin on the property.

Beautiful Getaway

This is exactly what we were looking for on Memorial Day weekend. My husband and I are nature lovers and wanted to get away from the crowds and enjoy some quiet time. We had 120 acres all to ourselves and got to hike and explore. We saw lots of wildlife and incredible starry skies that we don’t get to see in the city. Our hosts were wonderful and made themselves readily available if we needed anything. The cabin was very clean and comfortable with a great porch that we used often. We were even greeted with a bouquet of fresh flowers on the table. It was a slice of heaven and we can’t wait to go back!

Very Peaceful and Beautiful

My wife and I had a very relaxing time at Stacy Ranch, we fished for about 4 hours and caught perch after perch and threw them back in. While there we watch a thgunder storm roll in through the valley, it was awesome!

A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle.

This place is quiet, peaceful and great to explore. We enjoyed feeding the different fish and turtle watching in the pond. We explored the 120 acres and sighted wild turkeys, deers, birds, and small frogs. It was a great getaway from the city. Beautiful sunrise and setsunt over the hills was a bonus. Definelty going to book again in the near future.

Fantastic get away.

We've stayed at many places in the Hill Country. This place is the best of many worlds. If you want to just relax and go for nice walks this place is perfect - which is what we wanted to do. However, if you are want to have quiet and experience the nearby town and activities this place is conveniently located. We felt like we were way out in the country but it is a quick run into town. A lot of care and work has been put into the accommodations and the property in general that make for a great wonderful and relaxing stay. We will be going back.

Always Great

We’ve returned for a 3rd visit and can’t wait for the opportunity to come back. This is better than Home. It’s always difficult to pack-up and leave the cabin. Every time we stay here, I’m rested, relaxed and rejuvenated. For us, it’s the absolute perfect place. We’re grateful for the Stacy’s and their selfless act of sharing what they have. We’ve benefited from their generosity and kindness. “Papa’s Palace”, come to Ingram Texas and check it out !

Quaint cabin on beautiful land

We loved our stay at Papa’s Palace. It’s a small cabin but it has everything you need. The owners were very thoughtful with everything inside from the coffee and tea to the books and games. We had a great time fishing down at the pond and sitting by the fire at night. We drove through the jeep trail and saw many deer! Going in the winter is really the best time of year to be there. Far enough out to feel remote but close enough to town that you can run in for a meal. There is another cabin within view so keep that in mind. It would be great for two couples or family to stay in both. Enjoyed our stay immensely. Beautiful scenery!

About the host

Hosted by Philip Stacy

Host profile image
Our families are fourth and sixth generation Texans. We've been lucky enough to live and raise our family in the beautiful Hill Country along the Guadalupe River. I am a retired banker and school teacher and am currently the director of a local non-profit organization. I enjoy spending time outdoors.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family since 1936 when my grandfather purchased it. The 120 acre pasture is part of a larger working ranch that is located between Ingram and Hunt Texas.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful natural scenery along with gorgeous Texas sunsets from the tops of the hills. Quiet and peaceful but located just minutes away from Texas Highway 39 that takes you to west to the quaint town of Hunt (10 minutes) or east to Kerrville (15 minutes). San Antonio, Texas is just an hour away.
