2 Bedroom House in Johnson City

Sky River Ranch is a private, riverfront retreat nestled along the Pedernales River in the heart of Texas Hill Country wine country. Set on 11 peaceful acres, this escape is designed for rest and reconnection. You’ll be surrounded by the calming sounds of nature.
Spend your days swimming in the river, soaking in the hot tub, or relaxing on the patio. Whether you’re here for adventure or a recharge, the ranch offers the perfect backdrop and central spot for unforgettable Hill Country memories.
**All guests must complete a liability waiver within 48 hours of booking to hold any reservation.
The purpose is for your safety acknowledging the rugged countryside and unique water features of the property**
This Hill Country home blends rustic charm with modern comfort. It is a dog-trot cabin that supports split living areas - the living room and kitchen on one side and the bedrooms and bathroom on the other side of the open air hallway. The exterior is built from natural materials that reflect the surrounding landscape, while large windows fill the interior with natural light and showcase scenic views.
Inside, on one side of the cabin the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area invites connection and conversation. The fully equipped modern kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at home. And across the classic dog-trot breezeway are the cozy bedrooms, offering privacy and a true Texas ranch feel.
Downstairs: Queen bedroom and full bathroom
Upstairs: Three twin beds with a half bath
Comfortable furnishings, soft bedding, and thoughtful touches make this space feel like a true home away from home.
Amenities include Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, washer and dryer, and essential kitchen appliances. Outdoors, enjoy the hot tub, patio seating, and ambient lighting—perfect for evenings under the stars.
Guests have access to the river, hot tub, tree house, and the area surrounding the guest house. The fireplace is not usable and the main house and two-car garage are not accessible to guests.

Summary: A little off the beaten path but if you want privacy and quiet, you got it here. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect place for a couple's retreat or a weekend getaway for a small family. We were looking for a place close to Fredericksburg and Hye and this was a very manageable distance from our overall trip destinations. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had as well.
