About this property

Koch Ranch - Hester House

Come stay in our recently remodeled family homestead that was built in the 1880’s. It’s a relaxing getaway on a true Texas cattle ranch that has been operated by our family for well over 100 years.

We have another rental house listed as "Koch Ranch - Cabin" which is located next door. Many guests rent both houses. They are far enough apart where each house has privacy from each other, but groups are close enough to enjoy their stay together.

Excellent location and a great historical Home

Booked this house for a weekend of waterfowl hunting with my parents and friends. We could have got a motel/hotel in Columbus but I am so glad we didn’t! The home has an amazing history and the story of the home and family is told throughout the home. Communication with the owner was very easy and they responded quickly. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back next year to do it all again.

Ranch life...

Our family enjoyed our stay here. The front porch, fire pit and bbq area were a great place to gather. The kids loved the tree house and swings. We rented both houses at the location and it was very convenient.

Enyeart Texas Trip

Really enjoyed the porch and the rocking chairs. We had an awesome trip. We left a blue and red reflector there but they should be put closer to the road. We got there after dark and spent some time finding the gate. Thank you so much.
