Stone Home Ranch was the perfect weekend getaway. Our family made many great memories at this beautiful hill country home. The home has plenty of room for everyone and lots of space to hang out alone or with family. The views are totally breathtaking and the beautiful landscaping around the home was amazing. The kitchen is well equipped and there was plenty of space to eat together inside or out.
Wendy was very helpful and quickly responded to all questions making our stay the best.
We loved this vacation property so much that we will definitely be back.
Thanks Wendy for being an awesome host!!

After going through two lock gates we find a beautiful home tucked away from loads of people. The house was immaculate. It had a quaint trough for a pool which was large enough for six adults and four kids. Tight but fun for visiting and drinking. It was a little hike to the creek below and it was low. However. That did not stop us from kayaking and having fun. The evenings on the back porch was a perfect place to view the hills and the sunset. It was a winner in our book.

The property is amazing! The beauty and comfort it added to our very special event made our time even more spectacular! The photos our photographer got were stunning!
The host, Wendy, was beyond helpful and a joy to work with. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to take in the Hill Country beauty and forget about all of your worries. I would love to spend more time here just taking it all in.

I hosted my friends and family here for a going away party. The property was truly a magical space for us and my guests were absolutely stunned with the sheer beauty of the land, wild flowers, and the home. I could not recommend this property enough! A big thank you to Wendy for all of her time in helping me make this happen.

Family of four (5 & 7) stayed for a couple days during spring break. The house is pretty darn awesome.. and that’s the “worst” part. What an awesome property. The views are amazing, the river (albeit low) was awesome for hiking, fishing, wadding and relaxing. We spent the vast majority of time outside and even the chickens provided the kids with some entertainment, including gathering eggs. Wendy was awesome, we’ll be back.

Delightful!
This property is a delightful place to stay! The pictures do not the views justice! The beds are comfortable, you can stargaze in the upstairs balcony. You can fish, hike, swim and play by the sand. Our family got to see an armadillo! Over all, the place fees like home and it’s equipped with all necessary items to cook and play. The host is caring and wonderful!

Fabulous Riverside Getaway
Wendy {host} is an absolute DOLL! She responds immediately to all questions/requests and is a happy, informative, helpful delight! Property is amazing, roomy and family oriented. If you're outdoorsy--the river is a huge attraction, and you can go for walks, light hiking along river. Grill out, watch the stars, paddleboard and play. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed here over Christmas and had a wonderful relaxing time with family. The property was beautiful and clean. Wendy was very hospitable and kind. We didn’t end up needing a single thing as everything you could think of was stocked and available. Can’t wait to visit in the summer!

60th birthday celebration
We stayed with our 5 adults kids and spouses as well as grandkids (2.5 x 2 & 6 months). Everything about this rental was spectacular!! The house is clean, lovely and perfect for a family gathering. The kitchen is very well stocked.
The kids loved going to gather eggs, played in the tree house and hiking down to the river.
Sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous.
We had Opie’s BBQ, Cosa Nostra Pizza and La Cabana Grill when we didn’t cook on property.
I could go on and on about how great it was.
Will definitely be back.
Wendy our host was great!!

Just few miles away from the city but it felt like we were thousands of miles away in nature. This place is serene. We were group of fourteen friends looking for a break from city life and enjoy nature. This place was perfect. House is fully equipped with all amenities, very nicely decorated, clean. Kitchen has everything you need to cook. Backyard is where fun begins. What a view. Woods, river and clear sky. Wendy is a very good host. We could reach her for any assistance. When refrigerator didn’t make ice, she delivered couple bags of ice to us. Main house can sleep ten people as described on app. Couple of single beds are not very comfortable but rest of beds were very nice. Garage apartment sleeps four, not as great as house but workable. It’s hard to find house that can accommodate fourteen people with four and half bath. Early mornings and Evenings in the backyard and trips to river were the most memorable.

Amazing House - Great Host
Our family had a great time at this house. Remote country location with beautiful view of the river. Short drive to Bee Cave and the lake provided us with plenty to do, but the house was so relaxing and nice that most of our time was spent there.

A Little Slice of Texas Heaven
Stone Home Ranch property is the perfect home for a family vacation . Our Mother’s Day trip was one for the records. Wendy, the owner, was a delight to work with. We were so fortunate to meet her and her dog, Nelson, on our visit and our family fell in love with both instantly.
There were 7 in our family and everyone had plenty of space for sleeping and chillin. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the covered patio with amazing views and ended the evening on the star gazing porch for a spectacular light show.
Our plan was to visit one of the local wineries or distilleries in the area, but we loved this property so much, and there was so much to do, we never left .
If you are looking for the perfect family vacation home, this is it. The river was an added bonus and provided hours of entertainment . Naps in the hammock, swimming, fishing and kayaking. Our family can’t wait to book our next Stone Home vacation .

A perfect Christmas!
Words can’t describe how beautiful this home is. Wendy had it decorated for Christmas and each room is large, and comfortable. There are so many beautiful sitting areas, both indoor & out which is great for a large crowd. And such a well stocked kitchen! The outdoor views & porch space with all the games and fire pit made this stay one of our best Christmas rentals. Wendy is so easy to work with too! Honestly, this place is just perfect.
