About this property

Rustic Soul, Modern Comfort | Relax on the Ranch

Step back in time, to the 1870's, while still enjoying all the modern comforts you love. Grand Oaks Ranch is a 5-bedroom, 3-bath getaway on 22 peaceful acres with a pool, hot tub, game barn, and plenty of space to stretch out.

Unwind by the pool, sip wine at sunset, roast s’mores in the fire pit, or take on your friends in a late-night ping pong battle. Whether you’re here with family, friends, or a wedding party, this is the Hill Country retreat you’ll be talking about long after you leave.

This is the kind of place where mornings start slow and nights end late.

The pool and hot tub sit under open sky with views of the hills. The game barn has shuffleboard, ping pong, and a poker table for the inevitable tournament. The fire pit is big enough for everyone and stays lit as long as you do (subject to county burn ban status. We'll let you know before your stay). And the kitchen is fully stocked for the person in your group who insists on cooking breakfast.

Out on the property, cows, goats, donkeys, and horses go about their day. They're part of what makes this place feel special.

🛏 SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
* Pioneer Room: King bed in the original 1870's cabin - the oldest room you'll ever sleep in
* Double Queen Room: shares a shower bath with the Pioneer Room - the second oldest room you'll ever sleep in
* Double King Room: its own wing, a daybed, and a full bath just outside the door
* Upstairs King: shares a shower bath with the bunk room
* Bunk Room: 3 built-in twins for the coolest sleepover ever

Total: 4 Kings, 2 Queens, 3 Twins, 1 Twin daybed. Sleeps 16 comfortably. Plus a Queen sleeper sofa in the barn loft for two more.

🏡 WHAT'S HERE
* Pool + hot tub (pool heat available, $100/night with 24 hrs notice. Hot tub already included)
* Game barn: shuffleboard, ping pong, poker table, dining tables
* Fire pit and lawn games
* Fully stocked kitchen + gas grill
* 75" smart TV in the living room, smart TVs in 2 bedrooms
* Wood-burning fireplace
* Two desks for anyone who can't fully unplug
* Two Pack 'n Plays + two high chairs

🐮 GOOD TO KNOW
* No pets — livestock live on the property and we need to keep everyone safe
* The animals are best enjoyed from a comfortable distance
* You may see their caretakers coming and going during your stay
* Professional décor setup is required for events — we'll connect you with our partners

💡 PRO TIP Want more time? We get it. For a small fee, you can add a late checkout (one more swim, one more coffee on the porch) or an early check-in (start the weekend sooner). Availability depends on the calendar — just ask before or when you book.

🎉 WEDDINGS & EVENTS
Grand Oaks Ranch is a dedicated wedding venue, not just a rental with extra space. We host celebrations for up to 100 guests with ceremony and reception spaces, professional-grade furnishings, and on-site lodging.

Wedding packages are priced separately from the nightly stay and vary by season, day of the week, and guest count. To give you a rough sense of investment:
Weekday celebrations (Mon–Thu, venue only): from $1,250
Full wedding weekends (Fri–Sun, rehearsal dinner through farewell brunch): from $5,950

These are starting rates. Your specific quote depends on your date, season, and package. Message us with your preferred date and estimated guest count and we'll send you our complete pricing guide with everything spelled out.

What's included with every wedding package:
- Ceremony + reception spaces (barn, turf lawn, full grounds)
- 100 Chiavari chairs, farm tables, benches & wine barrels
- Pool, spa, and fire pit access for your guests
- Caterer's prep kitchen with commercial fridge & freestanding ice maker

Every couple at Grand Oaks also gets access to our planning portal. It's where your wedding comes together - a shared checklist, vendor tracking, timeline builder, layout planner and everything you and our team need to make sure your day runs smoothly. Whether you're working with a professional planner or managing it yourselves, the portal keeps everyone on the same page.

Coming Summer 2026: Six grain silo homes sleeping up to 40 additional overnight guests, held exclusively for your wedding group.

Important: All events require advance approval and are booked directly with our team, not through the standard house booking. Message us with your date, guest count, and a brief description of what you're envisioning, and we'll walk you through options and pricing. Venue Coordination (for couples not hiring a professional planner)
Up to 50 guests: $500–$1,000
51–100 guests: $1,000–$2,000
Covers on-site event management, vendor logistics, and day-of timeline oversight.

Message us with your vision. We’d love to host your big day.

Coming Summer 2026: Six brand-new grain silo homes for 40 more overnight guests (and some very cool photo ops).

My family of 8 adults and 6 grandkids stayed here for the Thanksgiving Holiday 2025. We had the most fabulous time at the Grand Oaks Ranch as it is an absolute must if you are looking for a place to enjoy the outdoors, ranch animals, superior interior accommodations, a pool, and a turf area for kids games like soccer and football! All of this within a short drive to Fredericksburg for shopping and dining and just fun! The host was also very accommodating and took care of any of our needs which were few.

We had the most wonderful stay for our annual family vacation with our two adult children and their families. We had 6 kids aged 2-13, and 6 adults. We explored Fredricksburg, Enchanted Rock and LBJ State Park and downtown area. The kids loved the house, pool, animals, game barn, turfed soccer , etc. This place was our favorite so far and I hope to return with the family again.

Incredible stay!

So many great things about this location. 1. This home is so well stocked! From the coffee bar, to the kitchen supplies, to the most luxurious down pillows, to the abundance of towels. 2. The owner was overly helpful and kind. He would turn the hot tub on and off for us. Providing the perfect temperature.
