Inside the main house, the Ranchito is a roomy, 2600+ sq ft. When you walk in, you are welcomed by the tall, vaulted ceilings, untouched original log-cabin wood walls, the floating stairs, and eye-catching catwalk that leads to the two upstairs bedrooms.
Downstairs features a large open-concept space with plenty of seating for large groups in the living and sitting rooms, as well as the dining area. There is also a workspace desk and chair tucked under the stairs for those having to work before they play. The kitchen is highlighted by bold, black patina porcelain counters and backsplash with a large waterfall peninsula. Perfect to sit at in the morning and enjoy your cafecito while you look for deer and wildlife in the backyard. All the appliances are brand new stainless steel and there is plenty of storage in the pantry for longer stays. Off the kitchen is the laundry room and host closet stocked with extra amenities for your convenience.
From the dining and kitchen area, the backdoor leads to the back patio and yard where you will find a playground, pool house, bocce court, and pool!
“The Ranchito” is the Master Bedroom on the main floor. This spacious Mexican ranch-themed room boasts modern-rustic vaquero vibes - you'll feel like you are in a Tex Mex version of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. It has a King-sized bed as well as a pull-out twin trundle underneath. The master bathroom suite has a his and hers vanity and jacuzzi tub wrapped in leathered concrete-look quartz, a walk-in shower with a bench seat, and a large walk-in closet.
“The Agave” Room is on the opposite side from the master on the first floor and was inspired by the tequila plant farms that are reminiscent of the vineyards surrounding Fredericksburg. This room also has a King bed and easy access to the full guest bathroom in the hall featuring a large floating stone vanity and agave wallpaper.
Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms.
“The Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” Room is inspired by Tejano/ Mexican women in pop culture. It hosts one Queen bed and a Twin daybed and has an attached full bathroom with marble-look wall panels and cactus desert wallpaper.
“The Mariachi” Room is across the catwalk and is the most spacious bedroom - we have dubbed it “The Mariachi” after the musical and pueblo-inspired colorful art. It has 2 Queen beds, a large closet, and a sitting area with a mirror to get ready for any planned fun festivities.
Outdoor Features:
The Ranchito Pool-House Bar is the crowned gem of the Ranchito Retreat. Just open the 10x10 glass garage door and kick open the pass thru bar window and invite the outside in. Put down your wine ‘cuz at the Ranchito bar, it’s always Tequila time! Mix up some margaritas with our provided blender, watch your favorite team on the outdoor bar TV while you play some bocce ball, or watch the 70” flat screen TV while you lounge and swim in the pool. You’ll also find a full-size fridge and freezer and a changing room. The loft has a Queen-sized day bed in case you need a siesta, or you can sit and relax with a book or play some lotteria. There is also a leather futon couch downstairs for that one friend that can't make it the 100 feet to the main house at the end of the night.
There is plenty of patio space and a turf patio to lounge around the pool so spread out and enjoy!
