HomeAway Ranch & Wildlife Preserve

We're happily retired partners loving life in this wonderful oasis... And working hard to make it a bit better for our animals and guests, every single day. Mickey's recently retired from 21 years traveling the world with International Joint Special Forces and Vicky's a Cordon Bleu Chef who also recently retired. We are living our dream "retirement" in this gorgeous wooded Texas Hill-Country, caring for and playing with all sorts of fun animals and welcoming lovely people to our ranch/wildlife preserve/nature- resort, personally ensuring everyone has a memorable experience, from customized horseback-riding experiences (everything from trail rides, to horseback riding lessons to weddings and vows-renewals on horseback), to serving as concierge to preparing that special "made to order" fresh country breakfasts, champagne brunches and romantic or fun meals and treats like chocolate covered strawberries for any special occasion, including anniversaries and birthdays.

Adorable romantic cabin in the woods, to camp with all the creature comforts!

With small and/or self contained RVs (not needing hookups) you can park wherever you want - Virtually hundreds of beautiful, scenic spots...

This property has been our residence for over 18 years. We have trained many horses and herding dogs on this property. Conducted training clinics and lots of lessons here!

Over the years we have also raised horses, sheep and goats and even show cattle here. As life long ranchers we have often used this property to rotate livestock to and from our larger properties.

Gardening now takes much of our time and we love to make much of what we consume or need.

We are also avid fisherman and enjoy hunting and various crafts. 

We look forward to hosting you!


If you happen to visit us at the right times, we may even have baby goats kids frolicking in the pasture.

Relax and enjoy the sunset overlooking 10+ acres and watch the goats and deer graze.

Beautiful evening sunsets to be enjoyed on the front porch which is shaded in the afternoons by a big Spanish Oak.

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, 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.

Enjoy a zipline between two live oaks. Unfortunately I was too tall to enjoy it myself.

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)

Grapevine Springs Retreat 

We welcome you to come enjoy the seclusion and dark sky on a working cattle/exotic hunting ranch in the Texas Hill Country.  My great great grandfather established this ranch in the late 1870's and our family still lives here today.  We are located in Real county just north of Leakey, Texas on US Highway 83.  Our campsites are on the head waters of the West prong of the Frio River.  Our Grapevine Springs have continuous flow the year round.  You will enjoy the gurgling creek, hiking, swimming, solitude and our sunrises and sunsets, and big and bright stars in the night sky.  We have tall hills and hardwood trees, Spanish oaks, Escarpment Cherry, Black walnut, live oaks and other oaks.  We have wild animals; white tail deer, turkey, hogs and exotics and seasonally songbirds and butterflies on the ranch.  We are close to Lost Maples State Nature Area and Garner State Park.**Make sure your vehicle has plenty of clearance. Truck or SUV work great**

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