11 miles from downtown Austin there is a wildlife refuge in the hill country where the trees are abundant and Slaughter creek runs silently through the middle of the land.
Nestled in the southwest corner of 143 acres is Austin City Ranch Bed & Breakfast, a charming rustic garage apartment with a separate entrance from the main ranch house.
On the way in, you’ll drive by the small oak grove where many bonfires are burned and folks enjoy sitting around the campfire, grilling and roasting marshmallows for s’mores. Across from the grove is an impressive heritage oak tree. Its big arms swing out with gnarly branch fingers that support lovely wooden swings. As you come up the circle drive for parking there’s a welcoming entrance with a bench and picnic table for your pleasure. You’ll appreciate the custom potting bench in the breezeway that doubles as a breakfast buffet for hot coffee in the mornings, and wine in the evenings.
The apartment sleeps four, sports a rustic, western décor with accent walls and carriage doors made from reclaimed wood. It is a comfy classy loft apartment, full of local Austin artistry.
Whether you’re enjoying the sunset on our bluff, or sitting in the breezeway with cup of coffee on a cool morning, being at ACR is relaxing and peaceful. There are plenty of hiking & biking trails on the property for a morning or afternoon activity. Whatever your plans during your stay, you’ll enjoy our ranch in the hill country where on any given day you may see deer, turkeys, hawks, owls, rabbits, foxes or raccoons, and of course all kinds of wildflowers.
Come see us soon! We look forward to serving you at ACR, your ranch in the city.
*Apartment is equipped with a roll out bed for a fifth guest.
