The
Main Lodge
Three bedrooms, a pavilion built for gatherings, the pool, the stone fireplace, and the kitchen the cook works out of. The lodge the rest of the ranch is built around.
The lodge
the ranch is
built around.
The Main Lodge sits at the heart of Rancho Madroño's hidden valley — a three-bedroom Hill Country house built for the long table, the early start, and the slow evening that follows.
Beyond the front porch: a covered pavilion, an in-ground pool, three BBQ grills and smokers under the stone fireplace, and the kitchen the private cook works out of. The grounds run down to Pipe Creek through cedar and live oak.
A lodge that holds eight, but feels like it was built for the eight people you brought.
Three bedrooms.
Quiet ones.
Wood floors, linen sheets, the windows cracked to a Hill Country night. Coffee and a clean truck waiting in the morning.
IKing Suite · Hill Country WindowsThe King Room
The master: a king bed beneath a slow ceiling fan, its own private en-suite, and a wall of windows framing the senderos and the hills beyond. The first room to catch the morning sun.
IIQueen Room · Hill Country WindowsThe Queen Room
A queen bed under a slow ceiling fan, its own private bath, and windows that frame the pool and the pasture beyond. The room your favorite hunting partner asks for, and never has to share.
IIIBunk RoomThe Bunk Room
Four bunks, a reading nook by the window, and the kind of cozy that earns it a queue of takers among the younger guests. Sleeps four comfortably.
Three Grills & Smokers · Poolside PavilionThe pavilion. The pool.
The Hill Country sky.
A covered pavilion runs the length of the pool. Three built-in grills and smokers, a stone fireplace, rocking chairs, and the Texas sky overhead. It is where the day ends — every day.
- PavilionCovered, open-air, rated for any weather the season throws at it.
- PoolIn-ground, lit at night. Spring-fed temperatures hold through October.
- CookingThree BBQ grills and offset smokers. Stone fireplace for slow nights.
- SeatingRocking chairs and the long table. Built to hold the eight you brought.
The Great Room · Stone Hearth & MountsLeather, limestone,
and a private cook.
The great room is the heart of the lodge — worn leather sofas around a floor-to-ceiling limestone hearth, the mounts of seasons past on the walls, and french doors that open straight onto the pool and pavilion.
It opens to the working kitchen, where the private cook is at it from before dawn. Wild game from the day, Texas steaks, Southern fare done properly. Beer and wine included for hunting guests.
- Great RoomLeather seating, limestone fireplace, big-screen TV, and a wall of mounts.
- ServiceThree meals daily. A private cook for the duration of your stay.
- KitchenFull working layout — range, double ovens, prep island, two refrigerators.
Covered Porch · Hill Country FrontageDown the path
to Pipe Creek.
A short walk through the live oak takes you to two miles of spring-fed Pipe Creek. Swimming holes with sandy banks, deep pools for bass and perch, and the kayak rack at the edge of the meadow.
- Creek2 miles · spring-fed · swimming, fishing, paddling.
- TrailsWooded hills, limestone bluffs, and open senderos out the back.
- QuietThe valley shields you from everything beyond the ranch line.
Stone Fireplace · PavilionThe slow part
of the day.
Boots off at the back porch.
Hunters in from the senderos. The cook is already working. The pool is open. The pavilion is shaded.
Wild game. Texas steaks. The long table.
Dinner is served family-style on the pavilion. The day's stories trade hands. Beer and wine flow.
The stone hearth, and the stars.
The fireplace catches. The rocking chairs fill. Somewhere out in the valley, an owl. Then quiet.
Linen sheets. Window cracked.
The Main Lodge sleeps with the Hill Country breathing in through every window. 4:30 AM comes early — and it earns it.
