About this property

Retreat on the Pedernales River At Stone Home Ranch

Stone Home Ranch is your exceptional country getaway, sitting high on the craggy cliffs of the Pedernales River, with stunning views of the Texas Hill Country. Directly across the rivers is Reimers Ranch County park.

** Please read carefully the paragraph below on booking the 5th bedroom.
** The main-house has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths that can be booked alone, accommodating up to 10 guest in beds. Or if you need the extra space of the garage apartment that can be booked as well by booking for 14 guest. Base price is 10 guest or less. I do this to allow for the smaller groups at a lower price in the main house.

** Outdoor security cameras on the premises

Inside Stone Home-

Our Great Room, features a dramatic fireplace that touches the top of the 20-foot vaulted ceilings.

Dinnertime is a breeze in our fully stocked kitchen, with plenty of workspace for multiple cooks to work together.

The dining spaces includes an 8-person rare granite dining table, a breakfast table for 6 & 4 more bar stools at the kitchen island. Not to mention a variety of outdoor dining on the patio, picnic table close by, sitting and nooks, and a riverfront picnic table.

The master suite has four-poster, Ralph Lauren king-sized bed, 50” flat screen and sliding glass doors opening to a sitting room/patio. The attached bathroom has a 2-person tub, a double sink and a big walk-in shower.

Upstairs you’ll find a second seating area with a large L-Shaped sofa, a rocking chair, and a desk/table for work or play. Also, 3 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms, a large library of books for all ages, a large & small patio.

Casita, (garage apartment) has 2 queen-sized and 1 full size futon, as well as a full bath with a compact washer & dryer.
NOTE : garage apartment is priced as mentioned above

Get to the river by the staircase (130 steps…but they’re worth it!). Take out one of our kayaks or SUP's on the calm waters of the Pedernales, swim, or go fishing.

On a cool evening, light a fire at the cliff side fire pit and stargaze.

Our Location is Spicewood, Texas (birthplace of Willie Nelson!) , with 5 nearby wineries, a couple breweries, and distillery. Zip line at Cypress Valley Canopy Tours, Krause Springs, Reimers Ranch preserve, golfing, rent a boat at Briarcliff Marina and explore beautiful Lake Travis. Overwhelmed with options? Treat yourself to the tranquility offered at the ranch and never leave.

The property is amazing! The beauty and comfort it added to our very special event made our time even more spectacular! The photos our photographer got were stunning! The host, Wendy, was beyond helpful and a joy to work with. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants to take in the Hill Country beauty and forget about all of your worries. I would love to spend more time here just taking it all in.

Magical!
I hosted my friends and family here for a going away party. The property was truly a magical space for us and my guests were absolutely stunned with the sheer beauty of the land, wild flowers, and the home. I could not recommend this property enough! A big thank you to Wendy for all of her time in helping me make this happen.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Rivers

Host profile image
I am a mother of 6 amazing adult children, a daughter, 2 sets of identical twin sons, and my last son. I also have been blessed with 2 grandbabies over the past years, they are a joy. Pets are a big part of my life and my children's lives, we all love hiking and being in the great outdoors.

Why they chose this property

Stone Home Ranch was our primary home for over 5 , years then again 2012/13. After my youngest son was accepted in a local boarding school leaving me an empty nest, I have decided to share our home once again with guest and move into downtown Austin to experience the city life.

What makes this property unique

I enjoy the tranquility, the wildlife, the views are breathtaking, home is very comfortable, hiking or taking walks, kayaking at the river, and the local food and music.

Stone Home Ranch is what I call 'My Slice of Heaven', it is truly magical.
