About this property

Chic Hill Country Oasis

About this space
Watch sunsets from the front porch, sip a glass of red from a local winery, and listen to the crickets in a haven nestled deep in oak trees. This serene, stylish ranch combines traditional studded leather armchairs with smooth, modern marble.

This listing is for one of two homes on eight acres. When renting the home, you have exclusive access to the lower half of the property. This includes the garden, the fire pit, and the pool/spa. (Pool is unheated; spa is heated.) The hosts split their time between the ranch & Austin. They may be onsite in the house next door.

Secluded 8 acre hill country retreat.

As you drive the winding roads, you'll weave around to find a hill country oasis far away from any worries. Nestled deep in the oak trees outside Driftwood, a calm peacefulness welcomes all at Olinca Ranch. Olinca Ranch - where the sun sets to find the bright stars, with no light pollution or a neighbor in sight! Ahhh, the country sounds of whippoorwill's, crickets, and cicadas encompasses you. Take a deep breath and relax! Enjoy the 40 foot modern pool during the day and the heated spa under the moonlight. Exchange stories around the fire pit with a nice glass of red from one of the local wineries. Watch a sunset from the front porch or relax and smoke a cigar in the covered back porch with an evening Old Fashioned. Whatever you decide, you'll find serenity and depart with warm memories.

Guests will have exclusive use to the pool, garden, fire pit, yard and pool toys in the barn. Park in the gravel parking lot - do NOT drive through the rock wall entrance to the garden.

The property owners may be on site in the main house. If you desire total seclusion, please request or message us to see if it can be accommodated.

Really cool spot

Cool land, great pool, and close to Wimberley and driftwood! House itself was bigger/nicer than pictures suggest, rarely do we say that with STR’s.

Peaceful and beautiful

Wonderful house in a serene setting. My friends and I loved relaxing in the pool and on the sun porch watching the deer wander by at dawn at dusk.

Luxury getaway

My husband and I spent a week in this hill country oasis and loved it even in the midst of the near record-breaking heat. The pool is spotless and, in the mornings (especially) the water was cool. Deer were everywhere; a treat to watch from both the pool and home. The large umbrellas on the pool deck also made things nice and shady in the afternoon. Stars were amazing at night. Also, I usually bring my own pillow because I'm so picky. I had forgotten mine at home, so I was extremely and pleasantly relieved to be lulled to sleep in a super comfy bed, with super comfy linens and pillow! The home is full of great natural light, bird watching from the air conditioned inside was such fun, the screened porches were so peaceful and walking in the area was lovely. While we were not able to use it due to the burn ban in effect, the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit were a comfy place for morning coffee. The only thing I would note--which we were aware of, but others may not be--and that is, the Wimberley/Driftwood area is not the best for internet. That's why it's such a great getaway. Our cell phone hot spots worked just fine for knocking out some unanticipated work, but without that, it would have been tricky. That's not enough to keep us from returning, though, as this was an awesome and relaxing getaway!

About the host

I lived in Cuernavaca until my mom fell in love with a hippie from Texas! I now find myself amidst the hustle and bustle of Austin, but I try to escape to Olinca Ranch every chance I get.

Why they chose this property

Because when you wake up, you feel like you've been let in on a secret that the rest of the world has yet to find out. You'll barely want to exhale while you peer through the windows at the deer grazing across the grass!
