Mountain View Lodge lies on the western edge of the scenic Texas Hill Country, offering spectacular views & sunsets--great for gatherings large or small. The lodge sits high above crystal-clear, spring-fed Pulliam creek (Middle Prong of the Nueces River), which is ideal for swimming, tubing, and snorkeling. A 5-ft-deep swimming hole is at the lodge. Accommodations: Upstairs: 2 bedrooms with king beds. Downstairs there are beds for 8 people (additionally, there are 3 comfortable foam pads, pillows & bedding). Large decks on both levels with 4 private entrances to the house to avoid disturbing others. TELECOMMUTE FROM THE RANCH! Super-fast, fiber-optic internet. Do your Zoom business and school meetings wirelessly. A 55-inch Roku TV is downstairs and a 50-inch Roku TV is upstairs. Weather Conditions: It is not just summertime that's great in the Hill Country. Fall, spring, and even winter are some of the most wonderful weather days. Pets ages 1 year or over are welcome.

My family and I love coming here, the water was great, and we love Mr. Donkey. My only complaint is the rooms with carpet do have a mildew smell on them. Overall the house is exceptionally well supplied, and all instructions are simple and clear. Thank you Kermit, we enjoyed our stay.

Always love staying here. We’ve been here for 5 years in a row and plan to keep coming back. It flooded this time which is crazy to see but also so different than how it normally is when we are down here. Still beautiful though!

We come to Kermit’s every year with family but this year we thought we would take a trip just adults. We had a great time as usual. We look forward to many more trips.

Soooo relaxing

This lodge is tucked away at the end of a long road and is so nice. It’s very quiet and relaxing. We love sitting out on the decks and watching the many types of birds. The river is just down the hill and it is beautiful.

Best place Ever

I can’t say enough amazing things about this rental property! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the owners truly care about their guests and have put so much thought into every detail. They’ve anticipated every need we might have during our stay, and I was blown away by how everything was perfectly labeled—right when I had a question, there was the answer, ready to go! The variety of river shoes was fantastic, and the owner was super responsive, making our experience even more enjoyable. For families, this place is a dream come true! With baby gates, high chairs, pack n play, and adorable kid plates and cups, they’ve got everything covered for little ones. And the location? Absolutely unbeatable! The river is breathtakingly beautiful—crystal clear waters where little kids can splash around safely, and deeper areas for the brave to dive into. Every moment spent here felt like pure joy! Watching the birds while we ate, thanks to the bird feed they provided, was such a delightful bonus for the kids. If you’re looking for the perfect family getaway, look no further! This place is an absolute gem, and I can’t recommend it enough!
