All lodges offer creek access for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking as well as long Hill Country views with plenty of hiking and biking trails. All lodges are quaintly decorated and feature private baths, fully functioning kitchens, air conditioning and the majestic beauty of rolling hills and natural Texas wildlife. All of our lodges are quaintly decorated and feature comfortable furniture, fully equipped kitchens, air conditioning and the majestic beauty of rolling hills and natural Texas wildlife. The Cottonwood Lodge sleeps 6 people. The first bedroom has a queen bed and full bath, and the second bedroom has a two sets of bunk beds and access to a full bath. Today Pipe Creek water levels are unseasonably low due to drought and low rainfall conditions in the Texas Hill Country. The majestic nature that surrounds your stay at Rancho Madroño in the Texas Hill Country offers a variety of recreational activities. From hiking, to fishing and swimming, the many landscapes of your special getaway offer a variety of excursions for you and your guests. A short drive from the ranch are multiple activities such as visiting historic quaint cities, local wineries and the San Antonio Riverwalk. Pipe Creek meanders through the hidden valley on the ranch. This spring fed creek is beautiful and wonderful for fishing and swimming. However, during drought years or during times of seasonal lows, the creek will not always be flowing above ground and will, therefore, be dry or at a lower water level in some areas. However, with 2 miles of Pipe Creek on the property, there are still spring-fed swimming holes and deep holes with bass, perch, and catfish to fish off the creek banks or on kayak. Please check with our ranch manager for current creek conditions. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Bicycles - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Canoeing nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,560 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71960000/71957700/71957627/f8396c96.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Peaceful Stay at Serene Shores!
