Lodge at Forse Mountain Ranch

Arranging a large gathering of family, friends, or colleagues can be a real challenge. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could get all those people under one roof, in a tranquil and picturesque Hill Country setting? Well, look no further! The Lodge at Forse Mountain Ranch near Kerrville has five bedrooms each having a private full bath, with sleeping space for up to 14 guests! This premiere vacation home is like having a private resort all to yourself, with water access and lots of amenities!

Deer and other wildlife roam the 170 acres at Forse Mountain Ranch, and you'll have access to several swimming areas (one directly behind the lodge- Please inquire about water levels at time of booking), as well as many areas for catch-and-release fishing (seasonal based on water levels. Inquire at time of booking). Paddle boats and kayaks are included, too! (Bring life jackets and towels for outdoor water use.) Hiking trails wind throughout the grounds, and the lodge is only eight miles from the Kerrville Cross Garden. Pets are allowed with prior approval. For everyone's well-being, a signed release of liability is required.

Relax out front with a shaded porch and plenty of outdoor furniture! There's more seating out back, with sparkling lights and a fire pit that's perfect for snacks and conversation. If you're cooking something more substantial than s'mores, there are charcoal and gas grills for a proper BBQ feast!

This two-story vacation home was recently remodeled, with comforts like central heat and air, Wifi, and satellite TV blended with welcoming country touches. Warm up around a crackling fire in the den's wood-burning fireplace while you enjoy a game of pool, ping-pong, or cards on the tables provided for just such entertainment! The kitchen is fully decked out for your culinary needs, including a six-burner industrial oven and a separate large grill, a large-capacity coffee maker, crock pots, and cooking and serving ware. For your laundry needs, there's also a washer and dryer combo on site.

When it's time to turn in at night, the master bedroom downstairs has two soft queen-sized beds and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. Three of the four bedrooms upstairs also have queen beds, and the fourth features a combo of queen and twin bunk beds. Each bedroom has a private bath, and there's an additional half-bath on the first floor. Your stay includes fresh linens for all bed and bath areas.

Fantastic Stay
The lodge was perfect for our family's vacation. It easily accommodated all eleven of us - from grandparents to children. From the professional kitchen to the fishing spots - there was something for everyone! Having a full bathroom with each bedroom was definitely a plus and waking up each morning to the deer everywhere was wonderful!

HIDDEN GEM for LARGE GROUPS
I only gave 4 stars on "accuracy of listing" because this place is even better in person than it is on the listing. Forse Mountain Lodge is an ideal place to stay for large groups. We had a 10 person/5couple faith-based retreat where each couple had their own room and a full bathroom in their room. Our group felt that was "key" in feeling comfortable in a home all together. It has a massive kitchen and island with plenty of room to eat and socialize. We would have used the den area more, but we had such beautiful weather, we convened outside on the backyard stone porch under beautiful trees around a firepit with smores sticks provided by the owners. The property itself is 170 acres filled with tons of white-tailed deer and axis roaming freely and unafraid of humans. There are a number of stock tanks and walking the grounds is beautiful as it is surrounded by the canyons and hills of the area. The owners obviously take great pride in their place and have attention to detail to create a memorable stay. The Lodge is very clean and has been recently renovated to reflect a rustic yet modern feel. Our group was exceedingly impressed with this property that is ideal for any multi-family or friend group experience. We highly recommend the Forse Mountain Lodge for your next hill country get away!

Fantastic property
This was the most spectacular property I’ve stayed at and I’ve been in quite a few. It was amazing from the spacious house to the two ponds stocked with fish, the deer roaming around, the fire pit ready for s’mores and the porch filled with rocking chairs. These hosts have thought of everything and Tim kept checking on us and we felt very welcomed. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Each of the bedrooms has its own bath. The master bathroom has a shower that has multiple shower heads. If you’re wondering about the price, I can tell you it’s worth every penny. Even my husband said so and he’s tighter than bark on a tree! We all agreed it was a perfect weekend and we’ll be back.
