Lyle and Lovett are the handsome and photogenic resident donkeys at Doe Creek!
These should be your tootsies peeking out of the water in the Ranch’s country-style tub!
A crackling fire in the living area’s fireplace is the perfect warming and relaxing remedy for chilly nights.
Our guest Patrick’s recent stay here certainly won’t be his last! “...although it was a first at this particular location, it won’t be our last. My wife and I loved the place and are looking forward to the very next opportunity to stay here again.”

Doe Creek Ranch | 2BR Cabin with Horse Amenities

🐾 Pet Friendly | 🐎 Horses Welcome | 👥 Sleeps 5 | ⏰ Free Early Check-In (when available) | 📱 Free Hill Country Travel App



Doe Creek Horse Ranch is private and gated for our guests, pets and the ranch’s donkeys, Lyle and Lovett. Its pastures are being restored to feature native flowers and grasses, and nature lovers will be delighted with the wildlife they’ll spot. You’ll find two patios with comfortable outdoor furniture; they’re great shaded spaces for conversation, wildlife watching, or admiring the colorful Hill Country. There’s even a ranch-style country tub for an outdoor soak, and a daybed for a fresh-air nap. The back porch has outdoor lighting for a touch of nighttime magic, too!



Doe Creek Horse Ranch is a horse-friendly vacation rental! It was built by a cowgirl who competed professionally, and features equine amenities like two shaded horse pens and an all-weather, lighted training facility, and it's a two-mile ride to Bandera, where horses and riders are welcomed! Guests are welcome to bring their horses along with them to the ranch. The ranch was built by a cowgirl who competed in the western horse event called "reining". She is pictured on the barn on a horse sliding to a stop from a full gallop which is one of the skills required in "reining". The heart of the ranch is the 50 -foot round pen. The round pen boasts a lighted roof and sand floor so it can be enjoyed anytime and in all weather. There are 3 stalls available. Guided trail rides can be hired locally so everybody can enjoy the Hill country on horseback. Check with us for details on this equestrian paradise. What's more, with the country byways surrounding the ranch, you can take a scenic tour, often without seeing any other vehicles.



Woodwork inside draws the eye, from ceiling beams to barnboard highlights to paneling that projects a warm glow. All is kept comfortable with central air, heat, and ceiling fans, along with a stone fireplace. There’s plenty of cozy seating in the living and dining areas, and Wifi service keeps you connected. There’s also a smart TV in the master bedroom, so bring along your Roku or use streaming apps for entertainment!



There's restful lodging at Doe Creek Horse Ranch for up to five: a king-sized bed in the upstairs master suite , king-sized bed in the downstairs bedroom, and a single bed in the living area. There’s also a hammock-style rope bed, more suited for naps than overnight use. All sleeping spaces include clean linens, as do both full baths, each of which feature a tub/shower combo. You’ll have the use of a full kitchen, complete with appliances, cooking and serving ware, and even a convenient washer and dryer.



Treat your family to a Hill Country escape that evokes the nostalgia of the Cowboy Capital of the World! Contact Backroads Hill Country today to book the incredible Doe Creek Horse Ranch!

Excellent location, roomy and all essentials are available. Four adults visiting for the bike rally. Parking for two trucks with trailers were more than adequate. Cats, birds and donkeys were a plus!! We will stay here again!

Excellent Get Away in the Hill Country

We very much enjoyed our long weekend stay at Doe Creek Horse Ranch. There is space to move about outside and nice, relaxing atmosphere inside. The cabin is very clean, organized, and very nicely furnished. During our stay, we had a delightful conversation with the couple that cares for ranch. They gave us great suggestions on where visit and eat in the area. We would definitely stay again.

What a beautiful peaceful experience! Close to town yet secluded and private. Attention to detail in every nook and cranny, unique and wonderful art and decor around every corner, every creature comfort cared for. The donkeys were adorable, deer and birds everywhere. We can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I were long overdue for a couple days free from hustle and bustle of life so we went to our preferred escape……….Bandera. I found this wonderful place although it was a first at this particular location, it won’t be our last. My wife and I loved the place and are looking forward to the very next opportunity to stay here again.

Great vacation

What an interesting, quirky and fun place to stay. We really enjoyed ourselves! The donkeys greeted only one of the members of our group. Every time he was in the yard! Which was so comical to the rest of us. It had everything we needed to make meals, plus. We also met the neighbors horse and Fed the animals carrots and apples. It was a wonderful vacation and I would stay here again. We did a couple of day trips to San Antonio and Fredericksburg. Don’t forget to visit Bandera. Great restaurants and shops. Friendly folks, as well!
