Just an hour West of Houston in the rolling hills of Austin County is one of Texas' newest bed and breakfast communities. We'd like to invite you to come relax as you take in the wildflowers and breathe in some of our fresh country air. Enjoy the peace and quiet of country life on the 1800 acre Lonesome Pine Ranch, originally settled in 1823 by one of Stephen F. Austin's "old 300". This working ranch is home to quarter horses, American bison, abundant wildlife and one of the country's largest registered Texas Longhorn herds. Choose from eight authentically restored and luxuriously appointed historic Texas homes dating back to the 1850's, featuring original paint, German stenciling and furnished in antiques, oriental rugs and Texas pieces. |
The Ranch is located in between Houston and Austin, right in the heart of Texas, where the wide open coastal prairies melt into the expansive rolling hills of the central Texas countryside. |
