Numerous wildlife located on the property.

Wifi is included but we can not guarantee the efficiency of service due to our rural location and all buildings having a metal roof.

We can arrange for other activities on our property with prior notice: Yoga, Hunting (deer, hog, turkey), skeet shooting, target practice, etc. Wish to host a yoga retreat? We can help as one of our team members is a yoga instructor and a certified wine sommelier.
We can also help with a list of shuttles that can arrange a day of visiting the local wineries and distilleries in the area.

There are exterior security cameras and game cameras on the property.

NOTICE: VRBO AI will suddenly change add/take away info on listing. And change captions on photos. Bottom paragraph is AI added by VRBO.
We do NOT have TV’s in the bedrooms. There is only ONE TV and it is located in the Ice House.
The coffee makers are in the Ice House and Cottage, none in the bedrooms.

We look forward to your visit to our little piece of the Texas Hill Country

The Doss 4S Ranch is located in the community of Doss, not far from all of the great small towns of the Texas Hill Country like Fredericksburg, Mason, Kerrville, etc and the many wineries. Go hike at nearby Enchanted Rock. Watch the bats at the nearby Eckert James Bat Cave. Go listen to live music and dance the night away at the Doss Country Store. Far enough away that you can enjoy the solitude with no distractions other than Mother Nature. Enjoy beautiful sunsets that go on forever under the giant Texas Sky with not a soul insight except those you chose to share it with. The properties 3 buildings are laid out where one can have some time alone or hang out with the entire crew playing games, prepping and eating meals, cooking out or just hanging out. Want to enjoy cruising the Texas Hill Country roads, bring the classic or convertible and spend the days enjoying the scenery. Or get the group together and let us plan your yoga retreat and spend the days out in nature.

Why they chose this property

We love spending time with our family and friends, be it at the ranch or anywhere. We love to travel but we also love being home and our down time. The ranch is where we are looking forward to many memories for generations to come. We like classic muscle cars, our Dalmatians and chilling under the stars at the ranch with a nice bottle of wine.

What makes this property unique

Located on 120 acres of undisturbed land in the Texas Hill Country in an area with no light pollution, the star gazing is a sight to behold.
