Welcome to The Brown House at Lighthouse Hill Ranch, where relaxation meets adventure in the heart of Johnson City, TX!

This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch house is your perfect getaway, offering all the comforts of home with a touch of Hill Country hospitality. With a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and central air/heat, we've thought of everything to ensure your stay is as comfortable as can be.

Sleeping up to 10 guests, The Brown House features two queen bedrooms and a bunkroom with two twin over full bunk beds. All linens are provided, so you can pack light and focus on making memories.

In the fully-equipped kitchen, you'll find everything you need to whip up delicious meals, from pots and pans to cooking utensils and spices. The living area boasts cozy leather furnishings, a foosball table for entertainment, and satellite TV with movie channels. Stay connected with our internet connection, though we won't blame you if you'd rather disconnect and soak in the tranquility of the Hill Country.

Outside, a private patio awaits with rocking chairs and a large fire pit, perfect for stargazing nights and storytelling. Firewood is plentiful, so feel free to gather 'round and roast marshmallows to your heart's content. A charcoal Weber grill is also available for outdoor cooking adventures.

But the real magic lies beyond the house, where you'll have access to the entire ranch, including over 4,000 feet of crystal-clear creek for swimming and tubing, fishing ponds, and miles of trails for ATV riding, hiking, or horseback riding. Don't miss the unique creekside hot tub and waterfall grotto, available from mid-January to October, and the resort pool and hot tub at the Arc de Texas®.

We're pet-friendly too! Your furry friends are welcome to join you at The Brown House, with a fenced area around the house for their enjoyment. Just remember to bring a crate and keep them off the furniture. Additional fees apply for pets.

Don't forget to explore the charming town of Johnson City, just blocks away from the ranch. You'll discover an array of dining options, boutique shops, tasting rooms, and live music venues on the downtown square. For outdoor enthusiasts, Pedernales State Park is a short drive away, offering hiking, biking, tubing, fishing,and swimming. History buffs can explore the LBJ Ranch, the former home of President Lyndon B. Johnson, often referred to as The Texas White House. The ranch offers guided and self-guided tours that provide a glimpse into the life of a former U.S. President. Wine lovers will find delight in nearby Texas Hills Vineyard, where you can savor local wines in a picturesque setting. The Science Mill offers interactive activities for all ages, and the Exotic Resort Zoo provides safari-like jeep tours with over 700 exotic animals to admire. If you're up for a short drive, venture to Fredericksburg and explore Wine Road 290, featuring 19 wineries within a few miles of each other. The charming downtown area is perfect for shopping and dining.

**If staying between the first weekend in November to mid-January your access to the ranch will be limited due to deer hunting season so some amenities including the creekside hot tub and waterfall grotto will not be available.**

    Everything was great, Ranch was private and very nice, the only slightly confusing part was the check in communication. I'm used to everything being on VRBO, but after booking the property I received a separate email that I was not aware was coming, with the rental agreement. Lots of info that was not on VRBO when I booked. No problem. Then I got my check in instructions from a different email than the one that sent me the rental agreement. The check in instructions did not include the door code, that came from another set of instructions via text. Anyways, everything else was great. If they could simplify the check in process and put all the preliminary information on VRBO that would make it easier, but it was still a great place.
