Beautiful views

The living areas of the house and porch’s are great bedrooms are ok but the bathrooms leave a lot to desire for. Extremely small showers low water pressure barely room for a brush on lavatory. For the price I expected a little more.

Why they chose this property

The Guest House at Circle H Ranch offers a one of a kind adventure vacation for people of all ages. No matter the time of year, Circle H Ranch can be enjoyed by all. Explorers and relaxation enthusiasts, alike, can enjoy the changing of the leaves in the Fall and the roars of the exotic deer during mating season. Winter is perfect for campfires and star gazers or for cuddling up with a good book and hot cocoa in the sun porch or next to the fireplace. Spring is absolutely a gorgeous time to enjoy the beauty of nature at its finest. Summer of course brings fun in the sun on the Frio River. Located in the Frio Canyon, Circle H Guest House is a uniquely special place for lodging, fun, and relaxation in the tranquil Texas Hill Country. Relax on the porch or patio and soak up the panoramic views of nature at its finest. We are just minutes away from the Frio River for tubing out of Concan, Garner State Park, Utopia, and Lost Maples Natural Area. Although you might venture out for the day to one of these other locations, most of our guests choose to spend their time relaxing at our own peaceful haven. Circle H Guest House is a secluded, private, and historic home which can accommodate both large groups and small parties. The house is perfect for a family vacation, reunion, private party, or as a romantic getaway. Bikers, bicyclists, and car club members are welcome.
You will be absolutely amazed at the breathtaking views and variety of wildlife surrounding the GUEST HOUSE in a free roaming environment. You might even think you are in another country or perhaps even paradise. The stars at night will dazzle anyone who lives in the city and has forgotten just how many you can see in the country sky. Campfire stories can be told while relaxing by the firepit as big and little kids enjoy roasting marshmallows.

What makes this property unique

This unique and historic Guest House sits right in the middle of a working exotic animal ranch. Tube the river all day, and then come back to the Guest House for rest and relaxation with the added benefit of getting to enjoy nature at its finest. Enjoy watching exotic animals stroll by as you sit back and take it all in. Never fight the crowded river houses and noise again!
