First, our “why”: If you watched wrestling in the 80’s or even the film “The Iron Claw”, you know about the grief our dad, Kevin Von Erich, has experienced in losing all five of his brothers and later, his parents. What the movie didn’t show is the next chapter for him, the one where he is joyful and surrounded by his grandkids either riding the 4 wheeler down to swim in the river, climbing trees or catching snakes…all of his very favorite things. If you meet Kevin when you stay with us, you’ll immediately notice his deep and genuine happiness. His 18 years that God gave him of diving for fish and eating fresh coconuts on Kaua’i are really what put the light back in his eyes. As he would say, “but it’s not Texas.” So we came back to Texas, determined to find a place for him to be surrounded by his family and full of natural beauty and fresh water. We found it. And we’d love to share this next sweet chapter with the fans and friends who went through the harder parts of the story alongside us. ——————->The Ironwood Cabin at Von Erich Ranch is the definition of peacefulness. Hike the short distance to our private slice of Jacob's Creek, a perfect place to read, journal or just cool off in the clear water, observing the abundant wildlife on your stroll. Cool evening? Lie in the hammock in the unfenced back yard and let your mind wander. Family trip? Everyone will love the pool table and making s'mores at the big firepit. One of the pet-friendly lodging options in the beautiful Hill Country.
The cabin has a comfortable simplicity that brings back the same guests, visit after visit.
One of the true highlights of this charming getaway is the incredible array of wildlife that thrives in the surrounding area. From the vibrant songbirds that serenade you in the morning to the graceful deer that graze nearby, you'll have the opportunity to observe and connect with nature's wonders throughout your stay. Whether you're a passionate birdwatcher or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of wildlife, this location will captivate your senses and leave you with unforgettable memories.
Our cabin is located on a private ranch with plenty of room to explore. Lace up your hiking boots and venture into the untamed wilderness, where you'll encounter breathtaking vistas, colorful wildflowers, and an array of native plants and wildlife. Didn't bring boots? Take a short walk to dip in the clean waters of Jacob's Creek, surrounded by huge limestone boulders that will remind you of the real beauty of Creation.
Take a nap in the hammock and listen to the kids play, or gather together for a family movie night courtesy of Netflix, Prime Video, and lots of other streaming options.
If nature is your family's favorite entertainment, gather around the spacious stone firepit with your loved ones. The crackling fire and the symphony of sounds from nature create an enchanting ambiance, perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, and creating cherished memories. Under a canopy of twinkling stars, time seems to stand still, allowing you to truly appreciate the wonders of the night sky, free of light pollution.
Should you feel the urge to venture beyond the cabin, the charming town of Boerne awaits, just a short drive away. Explore its historic streets, browse the local shops and art galleries, and indulge in delicious cuisine at the quaint restaurants that line the streets. For the wine enthusiasts, the region boasts several wineries, offering delightful tastings and the chance to sample some of the finest wines produced in the Hill Country.
