Cabin at the Ranch - Harper, TX

The Ranch is our place we like to go when we need to get away.  It's raw and it's nice land to camp, explore and enjoy wildlife.  We have a Wildlife Exemption on the property and enjoy managing native song birds.  We keep a constant flow of bird seed located in feeders around the ranch, and we have seen all kinds of birds making this a great place for birders. The ranch has nice elevation changes with a wet weather creek that traverses the property.  There are some trails to hike or mountain bike. The cabin is rustic without plumbing or electricity, but we enjoy it and it's fun to think it's everything we would need.  This is off-grid living all the way, and we are constantly learning new and better ways to do things.
The cabin is located on the very first spot we pitched a tent after purchasing the land, and we continue to make improvements as we go.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Sunsets like this are a regular occurrence at the ranch and enjoyed from the cabin's front porch.

There is a 2-Burner range inside the cabin.  We recommend guests bring their own propane tank if they intend to use for cooking or heating (Little Buddy Propane Heater provided)

Laf ranch



1100 acres of gorgeous natural land at the headwaters of the Medina River. Crystal clear and clean spring feed water. Fourth-generation family owners. Remote camping. Very private with plenty of varied terrain for hiking swimming, tubing, biking or just hanging out in a hammock enjoying the breeze and peace and quiet. 

About 2 miles as a crow flies from Lost Maples State Park. You drive through a 13,000-acre ranch to get to us. We are at the end of a dead-end road with one way in and one way out. 

NO FISHING

As our topo map shows we have a wide variety of terrain ranging from steep cliffs with huge views to shady canyons. The river cuts through the middle of the place and is surrounded by four hills that each have their unique characteristics ranging from flat oak-covered to rocky steep ridges. I guarantee you will find beauty all around.

We do have a couple of fun areas to try your 4-wheel drive out. Please dont make your own....stay on trails.

There are plenty of places to swim. When the Ladder is reserved, you may not swim there. Please be respectful.

We have 1.5  miles of both sides of the river so plenty of places to swim. It varies a lot in depth and width over the ranch.

Every camp spot has access to all the swimming holes except the ladder when it is booked. The main swimming holes are--

1. Below the Green Cabin

2. Another my brother likes that has a cypress tree submerged you can sit on he calls the 1000 waterfalls

3.  big pond

Hill Terrace

The site sits near the junction of Bailey Creek and the South Llano River. The land is managed for bird watching and plant diversity and boast and astonishing variety of plant species. The Painted Bunting and the Black-throated Sparrow almost always available for view here.  Hill Terrace Cabins One and Three began their existence as Depression era Girls Scout cabins.  

Humans have been on the site and estimated 7,000 years now and there is strong sense of peace and continuity in the land and waters here.  

An historical marker on site relates a famous shoot-out between The Texas Rangers and the infamous Potter gang. 

The wells are shallow, spring fed, and sweet with limestone, so bring your favorite tea or coffee.

 And a hat!

The river is flowing well, but burn bans may be in effect.

Casita In The Hills

As a young girl, I read "Little House in the Big Woods" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. That book opened my eyes to a different way of living. From that moment on, I dreamed of one day living in big woods somewhere. As an adult, some of those dreams are coming true! We have Casita in the hills in Hill Country Texas! 

We are a small, beginner homestead and we'd love to share this journey with YOU! Donkeys and deer roam most of the property. We also are raising chickens, ducks, rabbits, a few pet goats and bees. 

We have camping spots, (2) rv electric hook ups and a small cabin to sleep in. Our property is on 14 acres. We have open pastures and forested areas.

Whether you are seeking to escape the city hustle and bustle, or want a small taste of the homestead life, this is a great place to be! We are located about 35 minutes from San Antonio, 25 minutes from Boerne and 15 minutes from the Cowboy Capital of the World, Bandera, TX!

We do have a visible neighboring property. Therefore there is the occasional barking, lights, and music that can be heard/seen. 

We hope you choose to stay here and enjoy your stay!

Grapevine Springs Retreat 

Welcome to Grapevine Springs Retreat—a timeless slice of Texas heritage on our family-run cattle and exotic hunting ranch, established by my great-great-grandfather in the late 1870s. I still live here and keep the place going today. Nestled in the rugged canyons of Real County just north of Leakey on US Hwy 83, this is the headwaters of the West prong of the Frio River, where crystal-clear Grapevine Springs flow year-round.
Escape to true seclusion amid tall hills, ancient hardwood trees (live oaks, Spanish oaks, Escarpment Cherry, and black walnut), and abundant wildlife—white-tail deer, turkey, hogs, exotics, seasonal songbirds, and butterflies. Enjoy the gurgling creek for refreshing swims, peaceful hikes through canyon terrain, breathtaking sunrises/sunsets, and some of the darkest skies in Texas for incredible stargazing.
This is primitive, off-grid camping at its best: no frills, just pure nature immersion for those ready to unplug, Leave No Trace, and make memories under the stars. Ideal for adventurers, families, small groups, or anyone passing the torch to the next generation of nature lovers. As your hands-on host, I love sharing the ranch's stories—expect a warm welcome, local tips, and maybe even a cold one by the fire.
Perfect for quiet retreats, birthday celebrations in the wild, or multi-generational adventures. Note: Access involves some rugged roads (high-clearance recommended); outhouse available nearby. Pack in/pack out, respect the land, and come ready for an authentic Texas experience!"

The sunset overlooking the property is breathtaking

There are incredible rocks along the river bank, including giant pieces of flint

Amazing quirky decorations can occasionally be seen if you keep your eyes peeled!
