95 Acre Ranch, Near Garner State Park - Frio River Access!

The ancient oak trees. The endless breeze. The cool, smooth surface of stone. There’s a magnetic quality at Buffalo Creek Ranch that has, for decades, attracted adventurers from all over the state.

We have strong WIFI

Guests find the natural vibe at the Ranch House intensely restorative. It could be the cozy setting of the oversized patios or the fresh scent of cedar, hanging in the air.
We think it’s because the Ranch House is a natural fit with its environment, and it invites you to take in the beautiful hill country landscape.

Spread out with 6 bedrooms plus a bunk room, 2 living areas, a sunporch, 3 patios, horseshoe pits and a game room with a card table, pool table, fooze ball table, ping pong table, corn hole boards and ladder ball game.

A luxurious home on a 95 acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country. The stylish house is nestled among century old oak trees with beautiful views of the hills. Enjoy tranquility and seclusion on the beautiful grounds around thehouse and 3 spacious patios. Cook in the gourmet kitchen with Wolf appliances.

Expansive primitive hiking trails lead down to the crystal clear Frio River where swimming, fishing, hiking and kayaking are found. The wildlife diversity is incredible with blackbuck antelope, axis deer, whitetail, wild turkey, songbirds, hummingbirds and more. Take a stroll down to the river each evening and watch the fireflies come out. We keep our bird feeders full year-round. The hummingbirds are the best!

*Nightly rate is based on 4 people. Each additional guest is $30 per night. The house sleeps a max of 16 people.
***$500 refundable deposit is due at check in.

Enjoy luxury amenities such as soaker bathtubs and separate showers, Wolf cooktop and double ovens. Three huge back patios looking out over the hills, with campfire ring, lounge chairs, BBQ smoker, steak pit and horseshoes. Frio River Frontage, the shallow rocky bank, on the South side of the ranch is a 25-minute walk on the hiking trail or a 3-minute drive. Take a 10-minute bike ride down to the river in the evenings to watch the fish jump. It is a shared access with other guests that are renting cabins on that end of the ranch. We do not allow any day guests as the safety and privacy of our guests is important to us.
The house is just one mile from our two river spots, you have full access to either place.
Shallow Rocky Bank: Ideal for relaxation, this spot invites you to settle into chairs under canopies, listen to music, and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Families with little ones will appreciate the gentle waters. Adults appreciate the seat deep water to hang out and enjoy a beverage.
Deep Swimming Hole: If you’re up for more adventure, head to the deep swimming hole. The water levels range from 3 to 12 feet, making it ideal for tubing, kayaking, or simply floating and chilling.

The seasonal Buffalo Creek runs right next to the house and is a great place to hike and look for fossils when it is dry or splash around in when there's been some rain.

Although the ranch offers complete privacy, the drive to the nearest town of Leakey is only 8 minutes. Here you can find restaurants, shopping, tackle store, a grocery store, a meat market and more. 7 Miles from Leakey, 2 Miles from Garner State park, 25 miles from Lost Maples State park.

Leakey house
Honestly, I wasn’t happy with the couch in the living room. It looked like it was from a homeless camp had holes in it, and seemed super dirty to sit on, and I also hated the fact that there were no window coverings on any of the windows, including above the garden tub. Which is one of the reasons why I wanted the house but when it came to night time when I needed to soak in the hot tub, but you could see right through the window from the 95 acre land that also housed six other cabins, so no telling who is staring at you taking a bath.

Great time celebrating a friend's upcoming wedding!
The house is excellent for hosting a big group. We had about 10 guys for a long weekend and this place did the trick. Plenty of sleeping space and bathrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked so we could make large meals. I really appreciated that there were 4 unique environments... the game garage, the open kitchen, the living area, and the fire pit. There is also a big patio and the bird feeders are a nice touch. There were other renters on the property but we had plenty of privacy and lots of space to stretch out. River access was beautiful (we drove) and lots of space to hike around. Veronica was very helpful and responsive!

What a beautiful place for a family getaway! 15 grownups, peaceful surroundings. Had our sons wedding in the backyard under the trees with the hills as a backdrop. We really loved our stay. The house was clean and in great order. Noone close to bother us and not too far from a small town for supplies. Would love to return. Total tranquility. The Hostess was awesome with communication and definitely give her and the home a huge thumbs up!

Perfect for our winter get together.
My husband and I comfortably hosted 4 couples, a single lady, and 2 dogs for a 3 day stay here. We had several family from our neighboring property join us for meals so for me the large kitchen, island, extra ovens & refrigerators were what made our stay possible. We’re all boardgame & card fanatics so the large dining table accommodated our competitive obsession:) everything was as expected with the exception of the surprise ping pong & pool tables in the garage! (Take yr own pool ques tho.) I loved the add-on linens options which cut down my packing by half. The owner was able to accommodate a little later check out than normal giving us that last breath of nature before heading back to holiday craziness. We’ll be back for another “rest” soon. *****

Great House
The house as perfect for our group of 12. There was a lot of space and plenty of sleeping areas. The house actually seemed nicer than posted pictures. Very private. On the negative side the checkin location points you to the wrong location and the house is not Frio river front. A creek runs behind the house but it is dry when we stayed. It still worked out great for our needs.

Beautiful home, but not convenient nor private river access
The house was beautiful & spacious. The beds were comfortable. After some frustration and less than stellar customer service at check-in, the management was quick to respond to messages. We had 1 very minor issue with trash removal which was promptly addressed and corrected by the host. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. However, the private” river access is a short stretch of river which is shared by several rental cabins. It was not easily accessible by foot (30+ minutes through rough, muddy terrain) and was more of a drive than implied in the listing (required leaving property, getting on main highway, and circling around. Although the home was lovely, the proximity and convenience of the river access was very disappointing.

Dreamy river oasis
This property was above and beyond our expectations. The home is beautifully acquainted and manages to feel both modern and cozy at the same time. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms were large. Multiple showers and bathtubs came in handy for our multiple families. The kitchen was filled with all amenities and was a perfect place to cook and gather. We had 4 young children with us and they had the best time playing on the peaceful deck watching the birds at the bird feeders and hunting for frogs and tadpoles in the creek. Katy and Veronica were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I can’t say enough about this lovely property, and I hope to come back!

Wonderful Getaway
Love this area of Texas! Garner State Park is just 5 minutes away. The house was lovely and the outdoor patios and firepit were great as well. Vanessa was very friendly and informative at check in. And Kyle was so helpful bringing us tubes for our float. Everything we needed was so close by, river access just a three minute drive down the road. One thing to note is that the address posted on the vrbo listing is not the correct one, nor is it the office. And if you have verizon there won't be reception so it can be difficult to find if you don't get the correct address to the office/house in advance. A truly lovely stay! Thank you!!

Spacious hill country house
The house was great! Very clean, plenty of sleeping space. The yard and lights were great. The main improvements would be stocking the house better for large groups. There were no bowls, not enough cups/mugs for the amount of people that the house sleeps. No dishwasher soap. But for a short weekend with the goal of a lot of outside time, it was a wonderful stay.
