Rustic & Western House on Lake - Swim & Fish!

Return to your roots when you stay at this Llano house situated in the rustic plains of Texas hill country. This historic 5-bedroom, 3-bath vacation rental was originally a land grant from 1836, and still retains a special, untouched quality. Families can enjoy activities such as fishing on the lake, drone flying, and wildlife viewing on the 1,300 acre private pasture. At the end of the day, cook up some venison on the charcoal grill and let the sound of cicadas lull you into a peaceful evening.

A hidden gem

This property was so unique with its beauty and complete solitude. Our family of 18 enjoyed every second at Inks Ranch. The lake outback provided us with hours of entertainment and relaxation. It was fun hiking in the early morning and exploring the property. The house was well equipped with everything you would need. We will defiantly come back to this hidden gem.

Great property for large groups

I rented this property with a large group of friends from college, and the property couldn’t not have been a better place to reconnect! The lake provided us with lots of activities and the privacy of the location was awesome for a large group.

Best Views in Texas!

We have stayed in dozens of places all over the United States and this place has to be in our top 3 of all time. The property is amazing and makes you feel like you're in a State Park and have it all to yourself. There were six adults who stayed here for three nights. The sleeping arrangements were a little odd and left something to be desired, however that's not why you come to place like this. You need to come in knowing the house will be a little run down and primitive but the views, the hiking and the wildlife are what makes this place so special. We loved this place and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Family loved the place

I made this reservation for a family reunion. Unfortunately, my husband suddenly fell ill and we could not go. The rest of the family did go and they loved the place. These are some things they told me: great water and swimming, wonderful hiking, lovely lighting at night over the water, best stocked place they have ever stayed, loved drink cooler, said it was in the middle of nowhere, which they liked, enjoyed the wildlife, boats for adults and children. All want to go back next year. One thing: one of the couples turned around when they went through an entrance that said private property, no trespassing. It seems you do go through that property. They did eventually get there after calling other family that was already there. Probably should mention this in the directions - or maybe it was stated and they missed it. As I said, I was not actually there. But, next year we will be!

What an awesome location!

We brought everything, but the cabin was full stocked (water, condiments, spices, toiletries). The mountain is beautiful, easily accessed and climbable by even the children (with supervision). The lake was the highlight for the kids, who wanted to be in all day. Wonderful family vacation!

Our favorite vacation rental EVER

Inks Ranch is, without a doubt, our family’s favorite vacation rental. We’ve never ever stayed anywhere like this. The land is breathtaking—the photos cannot do it justice. Not only is the view amazing—you can go out and explore it all! We spent hours hiking and climbing and exploring. My 5 active kids were in absolute heaven! When we weren’t exploring, we loved fishing in the ponds, kayaking, or playing the many board games in the cabin (my kids also tried swimming, but the water was pretty chilly in February!) The cabin is spacious, very clean, and extremely well stocked. The grills were very nice. Kitchen had everything we needed. I also cannot conclude this review with our saying that the hosts (Robyn was my main contact) were absolutely exceptional—kind and hospitable and helpful. If you get an opportunity to speak to her about the history of this ranch—take it!! I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity and it left me with an even richer appreciation of this ranch and the people who run it. If you have an opportunity to visit Inks Ranch, you should DEFINITELY take it!

Does it get better than this?

We booked this ranch for a family vacation...and were blown away. This place made for the best large family get-together we could have imagined. The view from the main living room and the deck might be the most amazing view outside of Santorini Greece we have ever had. Every day, a herd of Audad came within a few feet of the house and several days, so did a herd of goats. We had a plumbing problem on the second day, but the owners were responsive and solved it with little hassle on our part. On the last day, we got a flat tire, and the owner talked us through using the equipment on the ranch to solve it. Truly a great experience. We will return.

Fantastic Stay

I really don't want to write this review because I'd prefer to keep this place a secret. I love this area of Texas and this ranch is so cool. Robyn and the family that own the ranch extended true Texan hospitality, my whole crew were blown away. One of the guest my family took has already booked a trip for their family. I truly loved our stay and will definitely be back to explore it more. If you want to relax and be one with nature this is the place. Mike Asbury
