About this property
16-Acre Resort Ranch with 4 Homes Included, Pool, Spa, Firepit &Gathering Spaces
Driftwood Retreat and Ranch is a unique rustic 16 acre ranch with three separate houses, The Main Ranch "Big House", Rock House, Log Cabin, a Game Room/Bunk house, a swimming pool and hot tub, enormous fire pit, and covered BBQ Pavilion. The houses and pool are nestled within 25 yards of each other and are located within the 4 acre landscaped compound. The rest of the ranch is undeveloped Hill Country heaven filled with native species of plants and animals such as Live Oak, fox, deer and armadillos.
The largest home being the 2,500 square foot "Big House", is a traditional two story home with a huge covered back deck with ample shade and a propane grill (propane provided). Inside the home is a spacious living area with wood burning fireplace, large sectional sofa, and flat screen TV. Off the living area is a fully equipped kitchen with a large island and a dining area with seating for six. There is also four barstools around the island and a breakfast table that seats six. Also downstairs is the primary bedroom with a king size bed, a bonus room with a day bed plus ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. If any of your guests have mobility issues, this primary bedroom w ensuite bath would be best for them. Upstairs is a sleeping loft with two twin beds which can be connected to create a king and a second bedroom with a queen size bed. There's a full bathroom upstairs between the loft and the bedroom. Just steps away from the Big House is a Game Room with a set of bunk beds as well as a queen bed, a pool table which converts into ping pong and various board games. There is *Starlink* satellite wifi!
"The Rock House" is an adorable 800 square foot two bedroom, one bath, full kitchen, cottage. It has true country charm. There is a big open room that includes the living area with adorable pot-belly stove for keeping warm, dining area next to the full kitchen. The primary bedroom has a queen size bed while the second bedroom has two sets of twin beds. Just down the hall is a full bathroom. The shaded front porch is a perfect spot to sip your morning coffee before getting the day started.
Just across the gated swimming pool and covered BBQ pavilion lies "The Log Cabin". This precious 450 square foot rustic cabin is every one's favorite. The cabin has a queen size bed, a fireplace, full bathroom with claw foot tub and walk in shower.
"Pool, BBQ Pavilion, Firepit" Nestled in the center of the three houses is the heart and soul of the ranch. The custom pool with limestone rockwork and waterfall is a perfect compliment to the hillcountry landscape and the 200 year old Live Oak which serves as its backdrop. A truly unique gem and perfect gathering place for multi-generational families to enjoy the adjacent covered BBQ Pavilion with a HUGE double-sided smoker pit plus a gas grill (propane included). There is an electric hot tub for your enjoyment tucked away under the enormous Live Oak right next to the pool.
You must contact us to add more than one dog to the reservation, if allowed. $25 per dog, per night. If pets are allowed, the charge for the first dog will be included in the total cost listed.

We absolutely adored our stay here over Labor Day weekend. All of the rooms were very clean and the pool and outdoor space was well maintained. The owner was lovely and very quick to answer any questions we had before and during our stay! I’d highly recommend staying here for a large family or a group of friends.
Always an excellent time at Driftwood Ranch and Retreat! Kristin covers every detail of what you need to just relax and enjoy your time! No stone unturned! We appreciate this property and Kristin so much and have been coming here for 5 years!

Love you guys, Sonia! Y’all are always welcome. Kristin
The property was beautiful, and we made wonderful memories during our stay! The house was well stocked, and we had everything we could have ever needed while we were there.
We really enjoyed staying at this property. It is excellent for multiple couples/families to have plenty of space. The pool and cabana area are great and they make for a perfect gathering place.
its a beautiful private location. The pool and picnic area are very nice. Kristin was so nice and accommodating and made our stay wonderful. This was our second time staying at this property and I highly recommend it to you!
We had a wonderful time relaxing with family here. The property is great for an extended family get together as there are multiple houses, allowing everyone their own space while still allowing everyone to easily spend time together. The pool is A+ and the scenery is beautiful. Planning our trip back already!

Thanks for your kind words, Lauren! We are very pleased that y’all enjoyed the magic of the ranch and that y’all created memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to having y’all back. Mi casa es su casa! Kristin
This property is awesome and huge.We filled, every bed with a family member and never felt crowded. The host worked with us to check in early and check out late, very generous. I only regret as we couldn’t stay longer and enjoy the property more.
The ranch was a really amazing place to stay. The ranch had plenty of space with separate buildings that offered a lot of privacy. The area was incredibly quiet and easy to get to. The host was also extremely accommodating and responsive when messaged. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great for our group of about 12 people. The Pool and Pavilion area are the star attractions of this property. Easy drive out from Austin and located well while also feeling secluded.

This was our second stay at this property and even my 5 year old grandson gave it a good review when he asked "Mom, can we please move here?"
A very special place indeed.

That’s the sweetest review ever! Thanks, Tony and look forward to having y’all back. Kristin
We had a wonderful stay with my family here. The three individual houses that make up the property are great for larger groups so everyone has their own spot. The pool is fabulous - all the kids loved it. Everything was perfect - 5/5 stars. We hope to return again next year!

Thanks, Fran! You guys are great and welcome anytime! Kristin
A perfect taste of Texas from the ranch, to the accommodation, to the decor, to the host! Accomodations were high-end while the ranch was the best of Texas. Best of both worlds.

Glad to hear y'all had a good visit. I agree, the ranch is very Texan. I think the Log Cabin should be used as an “old West”movie set. I’ve been contacted by location scouts so we’ll see what the future brings. Look forward to having yall back! Kristin
This rental is great. Very clean, really nice main house, really cute log cabin, and stone cottage, beautiful pool and big pavilion. Lots of different birds. Great location for large family gatherings with plenty of room.
