Property Description
Driftwood Retreat and Ranch is a unique rustic 16 acre ranch with three separate houses, The Main Ranch "Big House", Rock House, Log Cabin, a Game Room/Bunk house, a swimming pool and hot tub, enormous fire pit, and covered BBQ Pavilion. The houses and pool are nestled within 25 yards of each other and are located within the 4 acre landscaped compound. The rest of the ranch is undeveloped Hill Country heaven filled with native species of plants and animals such as Live Oak, fox, deer and armadillos. The largest home being the 2,500 square foot "Big House", is a traditional two story home with a huge covered back deck with ample shade and a propane grill (propane provided). Inside the home is a spacious living area with wood burning fireplace, large sectional sofa, and flat screen TV. Off the living area is a fully equipped kitchen with a large island and a dining area with seating for six. There is also four barstools around the island and a breakfast table that seats six. Also downstairs is the primary bedroom with a king size bed, a bonus room with a day bed plus ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. If any of your guests have mobility issues, this primary bedroom w ensuite bath would be best for them. Upstairs is a sleeping loft with two twin beds which can be connected to create a king and a second bedroom with a queen size bed. There's a full bathroom upstairs between the loft and the bedroom. Just steps away from the Big House is a Game Room with a set of bunk beds as well as a queen bed, a pool table which converts into ping pong and various board games. There is *Starlink* satellite wifi! "The Rock House" is an adorable 800 square foot two bedroom, one bath, full kitchen, cottage. It has true country charm. There is a big open room that includes the living area with adorable pot-belly stove for keeping warm, dining area next to the full kitchen. The primary bedroom has a queen size bed while the second bedroom has two sets of twin beds. Just down the hall is a full bathroom. The shaded front porch is a perfect spot to sip your morning coffee before getting the day started. Just across the gated swimming pool and covered BBQ pavilion lies "The Log Cabin". This precious 450 square foot rustic cabin is every one's favorite. The cabin has a queen size bed, a fireplace, full bathroom with claw foot tub and walk in shower. "Pool, BBQ Pavilion, Firepit" Nestled in the center of the three houses is the heart and soul of the ranch. The custom pool with limestone rockwork and waterfall is a perfect compliment to the hillcountry landscape and the 200 year old Live Oak which serves as its backdrop. A truly unique gem and perfect gathering place for multi-generational families to enjoy the adjacent covered BBQ Pavilion with a HUGE double-sided smoker pit plus a gas grill (propane included). There is an electric hot tub for your enjoyment tucked away under the enormous Live Oak right next to the pool.

Perfect Family Retreat! This property was an absolute gem—beautifully maintained and thoughtfully stocked with everything imaginable to make our stay effortless and enjoyable. From a fully equipped kitchen with every appliance and gadget you could ask for, to plush towels, cozy bedding, and entertainment options for all ages, no detail was overlooked.The highlight for many of us was the stunning outdoor space. We spent hours soaking in the sparkling pool, relaxing in the spa, and unwinding in the hot tub under the stars. Evenings around the fire pit were a hit with the kids, especially when it came time to roast marshmallows and share stories. They enjoyed the scavenger hunt the most!Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, the property offered a true escape from the hustle and bustle. And while being surrounded by nature does bring the occasional countryside crawler, it’s all part of the charm of an authentic country getaway.Truly, it felt like a home away from home—only better. We can't wait to come back!

Family weekend This property is awesome and huge.We filled, every bed with a family member and never felt crowded. The host worked with us to check in early and check out late, very generous. I only regret as we couldn’t stay longer and enjoy the property more.

Nothing Short of Amazing This is our 4th time staying at the Driftwood Ranch and Retreat and it was spectacular as always! Kristin loves this property and it shows in the details that she puts into it to ensure that it is ready for guests. Her thoughtfulness in upgrading and maintaining the property makes for a pleasant and worry free stay. Thanks again Kristin!

I didn’t want to leave! It was way too short! This is an awesome place to reconnect with family and just kinda kickback. We all had our own space yet we were always together. Kristen is an excellent hostess. If you are a person that cooks she has anything and everything you could want. The space was gorgeous and well kept. If I ever need to be back in Texas I will definitely stay here.

Just Wonderful This retreat is beautiful. Spread across 16 acres, it offers so much privacy. It’s nice that it has 3 separate houses. The log cabin is just darling. The pool was great and plenty of space to spread out. The big house has a huge kitchen with just about every cooking utensil you need. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year.

Own personal resort We had a dream of a weekend w friends. It’s like having your own resort. Everything was perfect; the individual fully stocked houses, sparkling pool, bbq pavilion. So much space for the kids to play and roam. Icing on the cake, my kids woke up to horses in the backyard. Truly magical. Hope to come back every year.
