Right Turn Ranch I Familes, stargazing, Martindale

Welcome to the Right Turn Ranch, a true Texan paradise where the boots are made for walking and the hats are meant for tipping under wide open skies. Nestled on 50 acres of Martindale's rolling countryside, this working Texas Longhorn Cattle ranch offers you a unique escape from the daily grind. Just 6.5 miles from the vibrant town of San Marcos and 10.5 miles from the legendary Lockhart, you'll discover a location that perfectly balances hill country charm with rustic elegance.

From the moment you step onto the Ranch, you'll be greeted by the serene beauty of nature and the iconic sight of longhorns grazing in the pastures. Keep an eye out for their adorable, stubby-horned calves – they're sure to steal your heart.

The Ranch House, an embodiment of rustic charm, stands as a testament to the allure of Texas living. With five bedrooms and three baths, it generously accommodates up to 14 guests, ensuring everyone has a comfortable and memorable stay. An open-concept living space with high ceilings creates a perfect hub for gatherings. Natural light floods this room, highlighting the rustic decor and creating a warm, inviting ambiance. The fully stocked kitchen is a haven for culinary enthusiasts, making meal preparation a breeze.

As you retire to your sleeping quarters, you'll find peace and relaxation in each room. The master bedroom boasts a roomy King bed, complete with a television. The attached bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower and a double vanity, ensuring your mornings start with ease. Three additional rooms offer cozy queen beds adorned with comfortable linens, while the bunk room is a playful haven for up to six, featuring two twin over full bunk beds. Two more bathrooms are conveniently situated to help everyone get ready for the day ahead, each equipped with a walk-in shower.

And for all you environmentally-conscious guests, there's an added bonus – a Tesla charger available on the property, ensuring you can explore the Hill Country without worrying about your carbon footprint.

Amazing
We stayed for a long weekend for a sister’s trip. The house was exactly as advertised. It was clean and very comfortable. We were able to see the longhorns every morning in our front yard. It was a great mid point to stay as we went to Austin and San Antonio. Would definitely stay here again!!

Great Ranch to Stay In
Absolutely loved the stay in this property! It's a perfect distance from most tubing areas and San Marco's downtown/the square. The place is so cozy and a great experience with family and friends. Highly recommend it if you want to stay outside of the city.

Right Turn Ranch was the Right choice
This place is amazing, so peaceful and serene. I just wish we would have had more time to take it all in! We attended my son's graduation from Texas State, so it was a busy weekend. Location was the best thing of all; it was so close to everything, but you felt like you were in the country. We would definitely love to stay here again! Thank you, The Skipworths
