- "We have been staying at Kipp Cottage for almost 10 years now. It is such a special place we always check to see if it is available before anywhere else. Audrey Land is great to work with and super responsive as well. Looking forward to next time already!" - "Stayed out here for a girls trip and river and property is so charming. You can sit in the hot tub and look at the river or lounge down by the water or on the covered porch. The main house is very cute and cozy-- perfect for girls get aways with your besties. We spent all our time in the main house. The other house on the property is more a sleeping quarter and great if you came with teens or multiple families and just need sleeping space. There wasn't anywhere to hang out in that house and it was sort of spooky in there compared to the charm of the main house. I'd totally come here again. You have a great private spot on the water. No cell service (there's wifi), but that was a perk for us!"

If your family is looking for a private getaway or a quiet romantic location, The GateHouse at Guadalupe Bluffs Ranch is perfect. The GateHouse and our location on the Guadalupe River were not affected by the July 4th floods.
We are located outside Hunt, Texas approximately 22 miles west of Kerrville, The Gatehouse allows for comfort and great location to enjoy nature on this historic Hill Country Ranch. We are pet friendly, so please bring along the family dog(s). They will love to romp in the water and check out the new sights and smells! Your canine family will LOVE being at The GateHouse!!!
We are located at the spring fed waters at the head of the Guadalupe River. Step into the cool water for swimming and fishing. One section has an area with easy access that is larger than an Olympic pool. Great swimming area for families and children. Bring your ice chest & picnic for a day on the river, just steps from the cabin. A perfect place to enjoy a warm Hill Country Day in Texas.
Fall and winter are great times to visit The GateHouse. The house is warm and cozy.
The firepit is available to sit around, tell stories or make S'mores. We even provide the firewood, complimentary!
You are free to hike around the ranch, to see the animals, the beautiful cliffs and crystal clear waters. When the weather is cool, the deer, turkey, foxes and other animals also enjoy the cool weather so you will have greater chances to see them. In November and through December, the hillsides and roadways are covered with multi-colored trees before they lose their leaves. You will see bright reds, yellow and amber colors as they reflect on the waters. Truly a beautiful site.
The Springtime is a beautiful time to be in this area of Texas. You will be sure to see the famous Bluebonnets and all the other wildflowers that line the roads and fill the neighboring ranches.
The Gatehouse overlooks a large private lake for your use. Be sure to bring along your fishing pole as this lake is stocked with Guadalupe bass & catfish. Most recently, we had a group of guests who caught 10 bass in just a few minutes in the private lake! No worry, they did catch and release so there are still many bass and catfish for you to get.
Stroll past the 8 acre pecan orchard to The Guadalupe River. Great swimming, floating, paddleboarding and fishing along the river with easy access. Our guests enjoy fly-fishing in the river.
We have dark skies for your night studies and private rural location for relaxation for your daytime use. You are welcome to bring along your telescopes to check out the skies. You are welcome to pick your best spot on the ranch to do your viewings.
The Gatehouse has 3 bedrooms with sleeping for 6. Bedroom 1 has a double bed and Bedroom 2 has a queen bed; both on the first floor. Bedroom 3 is a full height loft on second floor with one queen bed and 3 twins. One bathroom with full shower with glass enclosure and washer/dryer for your use. The kitchen is fully outfitted, you only need to bring along your food and personal items. We provide paper goods, linens & towels. Central air & heat. BBQ pit for your cooking enjoyment. Don't forget to bring along your favorite charcoal, starter and seasonings for your outdoor cooking. We have complimentary WIFI and multiple TV Channels. & music. There is a phone line available for our guests use as many cell service providers to not work in this area. We even provide complimentary firewood for the firepit. So, be sure to bring along the makings for S'mores. We have made every effort to think about your comfort and convenience.
The Gatehouse is on the over 100 acre Guadalupe Bluffs Ranch. This historic ranch offers a large private stocked lake. Other than the Main House, which is on the other side of the ranch, there are no other cabins to share the area. It is your private location. You are free to hike the ranch or stroll through and relax in the 8 acre pecan orchard that is adjacent to the Guadalupe River. While you hike, you may see our herd of friendly donkeys, our rescue cow, Maisie (she the queen of the ranch), and our herd of Texas Longhorns.
We are located in the Texas Hill Country. With easy access, just 26 miles south of I-10 at Exit 490.
Want to enjoy one of the most beautiful drives in Texas? Make the trip from Kerrville to Ingram and follow Hwy 39 to Hunt, Tx. Turn right on 1340. Go 11 miles, after the Mo Ranch sign, turn left on Rock Bottom Road. This drive will take you over and along the Guadalupe River, past magnificent bluffs, fine ranches, camps and houses built along the river. Note the mighty cypress & pecan trees along the way. Deer graze along the roadside. Check out the birds and other wildlife that can be seen as you drive along.
We have a three night minimum stay requirement. We offer the 3 night stay minimum because we are remote and our guests come from great distances to stay. To truly enjoy the ranch, 3 nights is a minimum. We encourage a 4 night stay, to get the full benefit of getting away at "the ranch" . However, if you are only able to visit for 2 night stay, please check our calendar for open dates and send an inquiry to check if we can do a 2 night stay for the dates you are wanting. Our ability to offer a 2 night stay, often is driven by the availability of staff to clean before and after the stay. Advance reservation is required, but if you are looking for a "last minute getaway", don't hesitate to check with us.
We are about an hour or less from many popular areas, such as Fredericksburg, Lost Maples State Park, Twisted Sisters Highway, Leakey, Junction, Kerrville, Camp Verde, Bandera. There are many summer camps close by. Kerr Wildlife Management is about 2 miles. So you can enjoy rest, privacy and venture out to these locations for shopping, dining, wine tasting, and scenic sites.
As a note: We welcome pets. When the VRBO system gives a rate quote when a guest indicates they will be bringing pets, they only give a quote for one pet staying. Our pet rate is $35.00 a night, per pup. So when there are multiple pups staying, we have to manually update the rate quote. Our pet guests LOVE the ranch. They are free to run without leashes (with their People's permission) to enjoy the freedom of running, sniffing and just rolling in the leaves or jumping in the water. The area around The GateHouse is fenced and when fully gated allows for a contained area for our canine guests.
We hope to have you as our guests soon!
Thank you for checking out The GateHouse at Guadalupe Bluffs Ranch. A Hill Country favorite!
Your Hosts,
Sandy & Mike
- "This was a return trip after our respite here in June. I wish our two pups could write this review because they have returned home rejuvenated. Everyday they retrieved tennis balls in the Guadalupe and were so content riding in the kayak and enjoying the beauty of the area. Returning to the cabin, they would have a well earned nap. When they come here they know they are going to receive doggy treats especially for them. They were fascinated with the donkeys, the cows and long horn. And although the river is our main reason for coming, the Gate House is so cozy and relaxing that it is fun to simply stay put and relax. We appreciate the well-equipped kitchen which makes meal prep a breeze. We all had restful sleep in comfy beds. Evenings were a nice time to sit out front in the rockers after our walk back to the river. Heartfelt thanks for opening your Gate House to us and for loving our doggy friends. We look forward to returning again soon."

Having the water so close was a main attraction, as well as the campfire pit. We really enjoyed our stay!" - "We have spent great 5 days at this property during Spring Break. Weather was initially very warm for a season but it got colder for the last 2 days. Cabin is located in very peaceful area and it is perfect for relaxation. We have enjoyed playing sports around the cabin, trying to catch fish in the river and canoeing. It was also nice just to sit back on the covered porch and watch the birds. Property was well equipped both inside and outside. We hope to be able to visit again in the future."

With it's high elevation and unique design, Hilltop Cabin is the most unique home you will find in the Guadalupe South Fork area. Where else can you find such a charming home with expansive views, wooded privacy and private river access? What more could you ask for? The Cabin is loaded with both hill country charm, and modern amenities. This is a full size home that leaves nothing to be desired, while providing the charm and fun of a rustic Texas hill country cabin. There are 3 bedrooms, all with queen beds, and each with its own full bathroom, comfortably sleeping a total of 6 adults. There is also a full sleeping sofa and several blow up mattresses and a half bath downstairs for additional sleeping arrangements for several children. The kitchen and dining areas are very large, which make for great meal prepping and gathering for large groups. The laundry room is what you would expect to find in a larger home, with a full size washer and dryer. The main living space is large enough for a big gathering with plenty of places for everyone to gather around the wood burning fireplace. We keep the house well stocked with toiletries including wet wipes, toilet paper as well as shampoo, conditioner and his and hers body washes for your convenience. Outdoor living spaces include multiple options for sun and shade as needed. A large porch sits off of the main living space with rocking chairs and ceiling fans. From this porch you can step down to a large outdoor gathering area with plenty of seating and a fire pit. We have extensive decking in the back of the house with seating right off of the dining area, upper decking with two picnic tables under cover , as well as a large charcoal barbecue pit for outdoor grilling. There is a wrap around porch along the front and side of the house with chairs and a bench swing to take in the hilltop views across the Guadalupe River Valley. There are also several sitting areas around the 2.5 acres for enjoying the many different areas of the secluded and private property. Although the property is not riverfront, the private river park is a quick 3-5 minute walk from the front door (we've timed it). You can also access the park via a shorter drive for anyone that has mobility issues. The River Inn Crossing section of the Guadalupe is at the headwaters of the south fork, giving you the cleanest, clearest water that the river has to offer. The depth and width of the river in this section is perfect for all water activities. Many other sections of the river are either too shallow for swimming and canoeing, or too narrow for real exploring. An added bonus this far up the river is the clarity of the water. On a typical day, the water is virtually as clear as a swimming pool. This is one of the only locations on the Guadalupe where snorkeling is a real option, so don't let the kids forget their goggles. Parents won't have to worry about the little ones, because you can see straight to the bottom, and the average depth in front of the park is about 3.5 feet. There is also a very neat section where you can get out of the kayaks and walk around and explore the shallow channels and pools (probably our kids favorite spot). Although the cabin is far enough out that you have true privacy, serenity and quiet, it is a perfect home base for hitting all of the different places that people like to go. You can make a quick and very picturesque 25 min drive over to Vanderpool for a couple of hours of hiking or picnicking at Lost Maples State Park. You can head over to Fredericksburg, which is only 20 minutes from Kerrville, and spend a few hours shopping or antiquing. Maybe you want to go horseback riding or fishing in another location. Maybe you are a motorcyclist and want to hit the infamous Twisted Sisters which are very close to Hwy 39.. Then again, maybe you just want to hang at the river and cabin, and get a full weekend of relaxation in, while the kids wear themselves out with all the fun and activities. The great thing about staying at the cabin, is that the activities are endless and are all right at your fingertips. You may also enjoy the various type of wildlife around the cabin and area. Axis and whitetail deer, raccoons, ringtails, opossums, skunk, porcupines, foxes, bobcats, turkey, roadrunners, javelina, armadillo, rabbits and all types of birds etc.
These are some of the typical things our own family does when we stay at the cabin:
Ride the Harley's to the Twisted Sisters 336, 337, 335 as well as Hwy 16 and Hwy 39 and the many other beautiful roads in the area.
Drive to Leakey area for the scenic drive and get some lunch.
Go to Lost Maples State Park (hiking and photos) be sure to watch for wild turkey during the drive as well as exotic game along the fences of the many ranches.
Go to Enchanted Rock State Park (hiking and photos).
Go to Garner State Park (hiking/swimming and photos)
Visit Fredericksburg (lunch/shopping/winery visits)
Grill Burgers or Barbeque at the cabin or river

Lay around the cabin and be worthless.
Star gaze at night. (Watch for shooting stars and satellites (give prizes for first sightings)
Night time canoeing and kayaking with glow sticks at the park.
Enjoy the summertime firefly bonanza at the river park at dusk.
Hang around the outdoor fire pit at night and make S'mores.
Watch a movie or game on Direct TV.
Play Xbox (my son and myself)
Spot wildlife on distant hills with binoculars.
These are just some of the activities available. You can also golf, visit wineries, visit James Avery, go birding or antiquing, or whatever else it is that makes you happy.
- "Great Stay" - "The cabin was awesome and had absolutely everything you could ever want. The private waterfront park was great and our families had so much fun on the river. Cannot wait to come back again." - "We had a delightful stay at this charming old cabin! The large property provided a perfect sense of seclusion while being conveniently close to the river, making it an ideal spot for relaxation.The rustic charm of the decor was a highlight for us, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. However, we were a bit let down by the restriction on outdoor music. While we understand the importance of being considerate to neighbors, it would have been nice to enjoy some soft music while spending time outside.The owner was exceptionally kind and helpful throughout our stay, which made our experience even better. Overall, we highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!"

Come join us in Hunt, Texas and enjoy this Charming Hill Country Log House and private riverfront that is just a short walk from the cabin.
Vaden Hunt House is located on the South Fork of the Guadalupe River next door to the River Inn Resort on Hwy 39 - Hunt, TX and is a 2 Bedroom 1 Bath cabin that will accommodate 5 adults in beds; Bedroom 1 -1 Queen Bed, Bedroom 2 - 1 King size bed and 1 twin bed and additional small child could sleep on the sofa or bring an air mattress if you like. The cabin has an open floor plan with the fully equipped kitchen / dining / living room and is the perfect place for family to reconnect , a romantic getaway or even a Girl's Trip. You will enjoy the wonderful (fully functional) Rock Fireplace and will definitely want to curl up with a good book, take a nap or watch TV here especially during the cooler months! The covered porch adds to the charm of this rustic getaway where you can relax or dine. The log house is fresh and clean with all new paint throughout, linens that include bedding, and towels for bathroom and kitchen as well as kitchen accessories including dishes, utensils, storage containers and small appliances (mixer, toasters, drip coffee maker and a kettle for tea).
The private riverfront at the Vaden Hunt House is amazing...this is a beautiful, stretch of the Guadalupe River that is both wide and deep (8 - 10 ft deep) with a bluff on the other side of the river. Enjoy swimming, fishing, floating and canoeing. The view is incredible and the dock has a steel ladder for easy in and out river access. There is a canoe and a john boat with an assortment of life jackets for guests to use. (To be on the safe side - please consider bringing your own life jackets to assure proper fit and quantity for your guests.) If you would like - there are kayak & paddle board rentals available that you can make arrangements with (local outfitters) prior to your stay in Hunt.
Please contact us regarding pets...We are pet friendly but please check with me regarding size and number of dogs . Pet fee is $25.00 per day per pet. Pet fees will be due with an additional payment request when using Instant Book or if you bring more that one dog.
We would love for you to spend every minute at the cabin but sometimes you may just want adventure…
This log house is convenient to all of the area summer camps and day trips are easy - you might want to check out Lost Maples Natural Area (State Park), Utopia, Garner State Park, the Frio River or Concan to the West; and Kerrville, Comfort and/or Fredericksburg for shopping or winery tours to the East. You can always hop on I-10 and go to San Antonio for Fiesta Texas / Sea World or shopping at La Cantera and more.
Please Note:
There are 2 houses on the property:
1.) the owner’s shared home away from home - which is the house closest to the river and
2.) the cabin (log house) - Vaden Hunt House (this is the vacation rental)
The family comes to the vacation home occasionally. But it will not be rented to other guests.
A letter from the family to guests:
We welcome you to this beautiful, friendly and peaceful part of the Texas Hill Country that has been a part of our family since 1962. The property is located on the South Fork of the Guadalupe River, the source of which is just a few miles away. Here, walk down to the river’s edge with your first cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy the beautiful, colorful and quiet sunrise. After breakfast, grab your float and enjoy the day swimming, fishing or boating in the fresh water of the river, and in the evening take your chairs into the yard and look up at the sky – the number of stars will amaze you. This is a place to relax and have fun. It is wonderful for friends or family weekends to get away from it all, cook together, explore nearby towns, and take long drives in the country. There are hillsides to explore, dinosaur tracks to spot, lots of rock hunting and long walks or runs in the fresh air. There are swings in the front yard that once were the swings for the 12 rock cabins that comprised the small resort of Marymeade. In the summer weekends, there is live music and great food on the patio of The Hunt Store, a rodeo and dance with a live band and dinner at Crider’s each Saturday night, outdoor plays at the Point Theatre in Ingram along with art camps and activities for all ages at the nearby Hill Country Arts Foundation, and a welcome sense of another time. For most of our lives as children, these were the things that we loved and looked forward to and they have become our family traditions with our own children. We played cards and games at night as a family and with friends, made brownies, cookies and homemade ice cream, grilled outside, and in the cold months, made fires in the fireplace. On each trip, we always made the drive to Lost Maples State Area to walk the trails and look for deer in the fields along the way. In the log house, you may see a few family photos of years past – a photo of our grandfather as a young man on a white horse, born and raised on a ranch in Menard, Texas. Another of a family card game played at the dining room table in this house, and perhaps one more of us as children getting saddled up for a trail ride at the horse barn that, in our era, was down the road. We invite you to enjoy this lovely part of the world and create your own traditions with family and friends. Bring your guitars. Visit Stonehenge in Ingram. Find that favorite homemade ice cream recipe, bring the ingredients with a box of regular salt and a small bag of ice. We have the ice cream freezer at the house for your use! Welcome.
- "This was our second time to stay at Vaden House. Like the first time, its a great place to relax and enjoy the Guadalupe River from the concrete dock, the canoe that's provided, and on tubes we brought with us. Its comfortable, quaint , and cozy. Be sure and read the book on the coffee table about the history of the area, especially of this part of the river when your down at the river relaxing on the dock." - "The cabin was just right for our family of five. The river access was better than expected (based on prior reviews) and the life jackets and river towels provided were a nice touch. The kitchen was stocked with the basics and had a good assortment of small appliances and a dishwasher. There was a good number of towels provided along with the various soaps and paper products. Communication with Audrey was easy and quick. While the wifi was not super important to us on this trip, it was pretty slow at times so don’t plan for lots of streaming. There was a rental across the street that our extended family rented on VRBO so it you have a larger group there are other good options within walking distance. Overall, this quaint older cabin on the river was perfect for our family getaway!!"

from 10-20 degrees below the outside temperature depending on how hot it is) and gets really cool at night. In colder weather, the heating unit works well to keep the tent warm

leave. If you are unsure if your dog is a heavy barker, check with your neighbors ;)
2- Clean up after your dog, both inside and outside (we provide dog waste bags at the tent).
3- Do not allow your dog on the furniture; this means both the couch and the bed.
4- Dogs may not be left unattended inside the tent unless you bring a crate and they will not bark in your absence.
5- Dogs that bark when left alone may not be left in the yard unattended.
6- Dogs are not allowed in the pool area. There are no exceptions to this rule, as this is associated with Texas law.
7- There will be a $250 fee assessed if evidence is found that an undisclosed pet was brought onto the property.
8- Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will help us keep the resort pet friendly for future guests!!! We do not allow cats on the property.

Especially loved the visiting hummingbirds!" - "The place was amazing and very clean. Communication with owners was easy and everything went smoothly" - "This place deserves a 10 star review! The owners thought about everything to make this place special! We will go back for sure!"

If a chrome and glass condo atop a downtown hotel is what you are looking for, our place might not fit your needs. However, if a cozy (but spacious), quaint (but with all the comforts of home) cabin on the river sounds more like what your family would enjoy, please consider our space.
From the large back deck you will walk down to your own private dock on the Guadalupe, where your family can enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or just floating the day away under the shade of the cypress trees. Sitting on the deck or dock at sundown is a must, as you will want to watch the fireflies emerge and hear the frogs begin their evening songs!
Indoors, there is a roomy sectional sofa in the living room, and you’ll find jalousie windows in the sunroom/dining room that give you the feeling of being outdoors while you enjoy your meals or take afternoon naps on the couches (one of which offers twin pull out beds).

Log Lodge is one of more than 20 different guest properties in which families can stay; it is located on a ranch that serves as a meeting space for camps, conferences, school groups, and families. The ranch has an abundance of amenities, including waterfront and pool access, canoes, hiking/biking trails, nature observation areas, a historic 35-foot water slide, and multiple sport facilities. Although the ranch is a shared space, there is plenty of room on the 500-acres to relax and unwind.
Scattered throughout the property, there are traces of its beginnings as a working ranch as well as relics dating from its unique past. The ranch is home to many impressive buildings with one-of-a-kind details. These lodges were constructed primarily using Hill Country limestone, ornamental ironwork, San Jose tiles, and retired oilfield pipes. One can easily get lost admiring the scenic Texas overlooks and crystal clear Guadalupe river while exploring all the ranch has to offer.
Although cell phone service is limited on the ranch, WiFi is available in most facilities. Maps are provided in the registration building that detail all spaces with WiFi access. There are neither televisions nor telephones in the rooms to help create a more peaceful environment for you, our guests. This intentional design allows you to unplug from technology and make meaningful connections with those around you.
Guest access
The home you'll be staying in is your private quarters. The rest of the ranch is a shared space for all of our guests to enjoy its amenities.
