Where the oaks of Central Texas meet the Mesquite of South Texas, this 2,500 acre working ranch is to be found south east of San Antonio. It is one of the most beautiful and historic cattle ranches in Texas and is the remaining part of the 70,000 acres Billings Ranch of Gonzales County. The guest capacity of the ranch is up to 20 adults in the Main and Guest house but there is a very basic bunkhouse with accommodation for up to 14. The Main House consist of one large master bedroom with whirlpool Jacuzzi bath and one smaller bedroom with upstairs bath. There is also a very large living room with fireplace, dining room also with fireplace, upstairs mezzanine offering cable TV and a garden/card room. In the Pool House are four bedrooms all with private bathroom. The Pool is located next to the Pool House which has a verandah facing the pool. Laundry - Washer and Dryer facilities are available to ranch guests. The ranch offers a real Cowboy Experience and you would be best advised to be a competent rider to get the best out of this ranch. In the Spring and Autumn there are cattle gathers in which guests may participate. These will involve a considerable amount of hours in the saddle and some long days but at the end, you will have memories of having taken part in "the real thing". At other times activities are unstructured. Rest, relax or join in as you wish. This is a working ranch with normal ranch activities. They change daily and can include cattle work such as sorting, gathering, scattering, roundup, roping, branding, riding fence and going to cattle auctions to help buy and sell cattle. Hearty family style meals are offered with pass around, ranch cooking. Guests must bring their own liquor, beer and soft drink.
