Refuge Josietta Hill Country|Retraite ranch 3CH

Josietta's sits on a 444-acre private ranch outside Bandera, among mature oaks and open pasture. Bandera and the Medina River are about eight miles away, Camp Verde about four, and Kerrville about seventeen. It is motorcycle-friendly, with parking for vehicles and trailers.



The house has a large living room with big windows and a smart TV. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a stove and oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster, both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, and reverse osmosis water. The dining area looks out over the ranch. Three bedrooms and two baths sleep up to seven, and one bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed for kids. Central heat and air, Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer and board games are here too.



Outside are a covered porch and deck, a charcoal grill and a large stone fire pit with wood provided. Guests can hike the ranch trails and see the donkeys and exotic animals. There is a seasonal fishing pond; check with us before planning to fish.



Pets are welcome; keep them mindful of the ranch animals. A Tesla charger, a playpen and a high chair are available on request.



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

We usually suggest Josietta's for people who want a real ranch around them. It sits on a 444-acre working ranch, with trails to hike, a small herd of donkeys, exotic animals and horses on the property. The house and yard are private, and the ranch is there to walk. Bandera and the Medina River are a short drive.
