About this property

Madrona Ranch Casita · Private Hot Tub & Lake

  • The Casita at Madrona Ranch sits on 14 acres outside Pipe Creek, about fifteen minutes from both Bandera and Boerne, with Fredericksburg and Kerrville an easy day trip. The ranch has a lake and Red Bluff Creek, shared with one other cabin, and wildlife is everywhere.



    It is one warm, inviting room with wood accents, a king bed and a trundle that makes two twins or another king. The kitchenette has a mini-fridge, a microwave, a two-burner cooktop, a drip coffee maker and a Keurig. Wi-Fi is fast enough to work from, the air conditioning runs cold, there is satellite TV with a DVD player and good cell signal, and the bedding is comfortable.



    Outside are the private hot tub, a large fire pit, a charcoal grill, a porch swing and patio furniture facing the hills. Guests spend hours skipping rocks, watching deer and rabbits, and walking the property. The hosts live on the ranch and are known for making guests feel like old friends.



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



    WHY WE LIKE IT

    What's hard to beat at the Madrona Ranch Casita is the hot tub: you sit in it looking out over the lake, with deer moving through the trees around you. Bring a rod, too. The fishing is good.

    — Spencer and Jess, Backroads Hill Country



    SLEEPING

    Bedroom: king bed and a trundle (two twins or a second king)

    One bathroom with shower

Beautiful location, very nice cabin

cabin was comfortable with views of the near by hills and large pond. Fire Pit, outdoor spa, and chairs just out the door. Although the site was isolated, it was only a 10mile drive to the great restaurants in Boerne.

Peaceful, what a beautiful view to wake up to. Feed the deer, cook out, relax in the hot tub with the fireflies lighting up the night, sleep in the softest bed and leave your worries behind you. Keith and Shirley, the owners, are the kindest people you will ever meet.

Charming Stay in a Great Location

My wife and I recently enjoyed a delightful stay at the Casita at Pipe Creek. The location was fantastic—peaceful and scenic, yet conveniently close to Boerne, TX, where we spent most of our time. The cabin was cozy and provided all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the tranquility and the natural beauty surrounding the property. It was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the local area. As a friendly suggestion, updating the decor and giving everything a thorough dusting would enhance the overall experience. These were minor issues that didn't detract from our enjoyment but could make future stays even better. Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend the Casita at Pipe Creek to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Lovely cozy cabin in natural surroundings

This small cabin is on a larger rural property where the owners have their house. However, the cabin is separated from the main house and other structures, and a small privacy fence enhances the feeling of being apart. The cabin faces onto a small valley and small lake, with a nice view of the surrounding hills. The lake attracts large herons, and there is a herd of deer that seems to like the property - we saw them every day of our stay. The patio and outdoor area are perfectly set up to relax and enjoy nature, with several comfortable seating options. The entire area is shaded by live oaks and other trees, making it pleasant even in a Texas heat wave - the breeze helps. We would sit out there every morning after sunrise and every evening before sunset to just watch the wildlife and enjoy the view. While there is nothing in the immediate vicinity of the cabin, the location is a good base to explore the area, including being 10-15 min from Bandera and Boerne - both towns offer charm, shopping and good restaurants. A little further out is Comfort, and even Kerrville is easily accessible for more options. The cabin itself is one large room and a bathroom, all very nicely decorated and very comfortable. The AC works great. There is a small kitchen area in one corner and a small dining table area in the opposite corner. The bathroom is good size and well-furnished. There is a shower enclosure which is a little tight. The bed is a large king and very comfortable.

Absolutely Beautiful!

The casita was amazing! Such a charming and cozy little place! It was very clean. I felt very comfortable while we were there. And to reiterate, the casita was so very charming!! The views from the back patio were breathtaking! A much needed city escape! We absolutely love the hill country! The check-in process had a few snags… After 2 attempts, we still didn’t receive our check-in instructions via text, however, the host company was very responsive to an 11pm sos message for help with getting inside. There was some confusion about our check-in date so there were no lights on when we got there and the air had been off so it was quite warm. Once we turned the AC on, it cooled in no time. We were sort of bummed as The property description on VRBO was somewhat misleading. We were under the impression that we would be on a multiple acre, private getaway and were looking forward to the ‘by-our-selves’ relaxing get away all weekend. However, the casita is situated right beside the property manager’s home and another home so you did not have the privacy that the ad lead us to believe. So that was a little disappointing after driving over 4 hrs to get there. Overall, the casita was a beautiful and charming getaway in the hill country that is a must see!! Thank you to the property manager and host company for being responsive to our needs!

Perfect Getaway Spot

Everything about this casita was perfect. The description online matched reality. It was beautiful, peaceful, close enough to explore Bandera and Boerne, and still get back in time for hot tub and fire time in evening. The hosts were so kind! We will definitely be back and would definitely recommend this place to our family and friends!

Heaven on Earth

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. From feeding the deer in the morning to watching the Fireflies dance at night, Casitas did not disappoint. The bed, oh the bed, was like sleeping on a cloud. Keith and Shirley are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. If you are looking for beauty and peace, I highly recommend this very special place. We can’t wait to return. 🙂

Don't recommend! Discrimination

Me and my husband booked for three nights and instead left after one night. This was our little honeymoon get away for a few days and we were disappointed. We were never greeted when we got there. There was no hot water, we took cold showers. The pictures online are false. The creek had barely any water it was extremely low. They need to update their pictures of the view of the creek as this was why we booked in the first place. It is not worth staying as the view included the creek. There was no hospitality, at least not for us. Very disappointing! Do not recommend! Bad discriminating vibes in this place.
