Doe Creek Ranch | Chalet de 2 chambres avec équipements pour chevaux

Doe Creek Horse Ranch is a private, gated property about two miles from Bandera, on eight acres surrounded by quiet country roads where you can drive for miles without meeting another car. Its pastures are being restored to native grasses and wildflowers, and Hill Country State Natural Area is close by.



The ranch was built for horses by a cowgirl who competed professionally in reining; she is pictured on the barn sliding a horse to a stop. There are three stalls, two shaded pens and a 50-foot round pen with a lighted roof and a sand floor, so it can be used in any weather. Guests may bring up to three horses and ride on the property or into Bandera, where horses and riders are welcome. Guided trail rides can be arranged locally.



The house is warm with woodwork, from the ceiling beams to barnboard and paneling, and has a stone fireplace, central air and heat, ceiling fans and Wi-Fi. There are two bedrooms, two full baths with tub and shower combinations, a full kitchen with a dishwasher, a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a washer and dryer, a Bluetooth stereo and a smart TV in the primary bedroom.



Out back are two covered patios, string lights, a Blackstone griddle, a daybed and a country soaking tub. The ranch's two donkeys, Lyle and Lovett, share the place. There is plenty of parking.



Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

Doe Creek is the one we suggest to people who want to bring their horses. It was built by a professional reining competitor, and it has stalls, shaded pens and a covered, lighted round pen with a sand floor. You can ride on the property or into Bandera, about two miles away. Two resident donkeys, Lyle and Lovett, tend to meet guests at the fence.
