    My god, the view at this location is insane! Absolutely beautiful, serene, tranquil, etc etc. with the adjectives! I've been all over the world from Dubai to Tokyo and I've gotta say, this place is in my book one of the most relaxing/beautiful places I've been. The ranch is a great place to relax for vacations, holidays, weekend getaways, bar mitzvahs, quinceañeras, (more applicable to me) Chinese new year, whatever you're looking for, you should definitely come by sometime. I'll guarantee you won't regret it. The ranch has some dope swimming holes and who doesn't like wine and horses? The sunset here is surreal, I wish I remembered to take a photo of it. Will definitely be back! If you haven't been, what are you waiting for? Get to it!

    Our family recently stayed in one of the suites and the following weekend in a house. We really enjoyed both experiences. Both were different and equally fun. The owners were very hospitable and communicative. We'll be back for sure!

    The scenery at Lighthouse Hill Ranch is absolutely stunning! If you are a nature enthusiast but still enjoy a little luxury to retreat to, this place is hands down the perfect getaway. Panoramic views and spectacular color displays on the horizon can be enjoyed from the comfort of your room, rooftop patio, many lounge areas around The Arc, or even the hot tub near the grotto. The Arc de Texas is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in Paris, France and offers luxury accommodations with 4 suites. There are also several rental homes available on the property to include the Lighthouse. We stayed in the Joan of Arc Suite which was on the 2nd floor of the Arc and the views are breathtaking! We could see the sunsets over the scenic hillside from our suite through the 4 westward windows. The beds were plush and the decor was beautiful with knotty alder wood doors and trim throughout, 14 foot ceilings, leather sofas, 2 large flatscreens, and scrolled wrought iron accents. There's a kitchenette with two burners, a full size refrigerator with ice-maker, dishwasher, and also a propane grille available in the common area near the pool. The suite is well stocked with pots/pans, dishes/utensils, appliances, spices/condiments, and coffee essentials. Note that there are no closets, drawers, or irons for clothing in this suite, only a single luggage rack. The ranch is also pet friendly and you can bring your four-legged friends for an additional $20 per night. The ranch offers many things to keep you occupied during your stay whether you choose to sit back and relax or are looking for a little adventure. The Arc has a hot tub with swimming pool, fire pit, a wine bar with tasting room and a terrace on the rooftop boasting some of the most magnificent views you've ever seen over the Texas hill country. The ranch spans over 2,000 acres with 50 miles of trails to explore and even staying here 3 days, we didn't see but about 1/2 of the ranch. There are gated sections of the ranch, requiring passcodes which are provided at check-in. 4x4 vehicles or ATV/UTVs work best to explore the trails because they are rather rough with large rocks and some deep drop offs. They have partnered with Texas Trail Rides to offer ATV tours (for parties of 20 or more), horseback riding, skeet shooting and other ranch activities. You can also bring your own ATV for a small daily fee. There are a number of ponds on the property. A few of the ponds were pretty dry, with the best fishing at the south pond which was well stocked with good size catfish, bass, and blue gill. You can purchase bait and tackle at the convenience stores in Blanco--which is only about a 15 minute drive down the road. The large fish we saw swimming in the pond eluded us, but it was still fun catching the smaller ones! This property is strictly catch-and-release and I was rather disappointed to see one of the other guests reeling in fish and sticking them in his cooler. The creek running through the ranch is beautiful and we were told that it is even prettier when the water is running, creating cascading falls similar to those at Pedernales. You can kayak, canoe, fish and swim here and there's even a hot tub overlooking the creek and a waterfall grotto to relax in. It's like having your own private ranch to play, since it's only accessed by the handful of guests staying on the property. You mostly get left alone here, which is kinda perfect if you're celebrating a quiet romantic weekend. Everyone we did run into was kind and friendly, yet completely unobtrusive. Even at the restaurants in nearby towns (which have GREAT food btw) everyone we talked to had the most pleasant demeanor. We seriously contemplated moving here because of the weekend we had! :) Strong winds blow constantly through the Arc so watch your fingers and toes when opening exterior doors--I'd liken them to heavy coastal winds. And ladies, forget about your hair during your stay. Even a tight bun will get blown out and if you use styling products, you'll likely end up with troll doll hair due to humidity and strong wind gusts--especially on the rooftop. There is a $60 cleaning fee and checkout rules you must follow or you'll be charged the full $100 for not completing the checklist. Cancellation policies are also strict, with the ranch only refunding partial deposit before the 30 day deadline. If reservations/cancelations are made after the 30 days, the entire deposit (equal to first nights rate) is forfeited, so be sure to plan accordingly. We couldn't be happier with the experience we had and can't wait to return to explore the rest of the ranch. I highly recommend visiting LHR and if you do nothing else here, you MUST experience these views!

    View from the top of the lighthouse! Overlooking the amazing patio

    My group stayed at the Lighthouse and enjoyed every moment! The house is beautiful, and had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, comfortable beds, extra pool towels, and tons of outdoor seating. We enjoyed using the grill, taking in the views, and warming up with the hot tub and fire pit. The house is very roomy to accommodate groups of all sizes. Cannot wait to visit again

    I stumbled upon this ranch while choosing a place to spend some time with my family over winter break. We all loved it! The views were amazing, the accommodations were great, and the service was so hospitable. We had a great time exploring the lighthouse, in the pool, in the hot tub, and exploring the ranch. I would definitely come again!

    See all
