Madrone Springs Ranch

We had an absolutely amazing visit to Madrone Springs Ranch! The property is stunningly beautiful and feels wonderfully private and remote — the perfect escape from everyday life. The house is spacious and modern, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail makes it feel easy, welcoming, and relaxing. One of our favorite parts was seeing the interesting animals around the ranch — such a unique and memorable experience! Even though the home is so very nice, the outdoor space is truly the highlight. There is a gorgeous, clean creek that’s perfect for swimming, and the surrounding area is fantastic for hiking and exploring. It’s such a special place to unwind and connect with nature. Bobby and Gail Dubois are warm, friendly hosts who clearly take pride in sharing their incredible pr

We have visited Madrone Springs Ranch 3 times and have our 4th trip booked for this summer. The first time was for a family reunion, and it was quite memorable. Gail and Bobby (owners) were very helpful and making the trip comfortable and memorable. Bobby and Gail's hospitality made us feel right at home, providing a warm, family-like atmosphere throughout our stay, and have even planned private chef experiences. The ranch is beautifully crafted by Bobby and Gail, nicely decorated and every bed mattresses and pillow selections make it a place to rest and reset. It's set amidst rolling hills with stunning, maintained landscapes that invite admiration right from the arrival gates to the hiking trails throughout the property. There's several activities whether it's enjoying breathtaking sun

I've been to Madrone Springs Ranch for several daytime tours with family and friends. Several observations jump out: 1) the exotic animals like kangaroos, alpacas, turkeys and herds of African antelopes of different kinds are amazing and fun for everyone, both adults and kids. There's no end to the joy you can have while watching and following the animals. I'm a particular fan of the turkeys, but that's just me. 2) The meals are amazing, usually hand-cooked by the owners, who pride themselves on cooking that is both healthy and delicious. 3) The guest house and main lodge are immaculate; this shows the owners really care. Especially with family, Madrone Springs Ranch is a first-rate choice.

Dr. Bobby and Gail's place is a real gem. I travelled there with my family from all over Texas and everyone agreed it was the best Airbnb we've stayed at. There is something for everyone - animals, ATVs, hiking, kayaking. Even on a rainy day we enjoyed hanging out at the house with incredible views of the hill country. This was such a unique experience and we can't wait to come back next year!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Madrone Springs Ranch is truly a hidden gem in the Texas Hill Country. I am completely captivated by the beauty, serenity, and thoughtful details of this place. Driving through the ranch feels like a safari experience — wildlife roaming peacefully, wide open landscapes, and the kind of quiet that instantly slows your nervous system. You truly feel alone with nature here — no side noise, no distractions, just fresh air and stillness. From kangaroos to ducks, every animal is clearly well cared for and such a joy to observe. There’s also something special about the simple pleasures — a peaceful camping area, cozy fire pits under the open sky, and the gentle sound of the little river flowing nearby. It’s the kind of environment that helps you fully unplug and reset. What impress
