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.

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful surroundings. We hiked, fished, and swam. Thoroughly enjoyed our family time together. Hope to make it back one day.

    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.

    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!
