Imagine checking into your Texas Hill Country cottage and finding fresh eggs ready for breakfast, and a sweet stash of ice cream tucked into your freezer.
Welcome to Wrenwood Ranch—where we believe the little things make a big difference.
Tucked away between Johnson City Texas and Fredericksburg Texas, Wrenwood Ranch is more than just a vacation rental, cabin, or pet friendly cottage. It’s a lovingly built, detail-rich retreat that celebrates Texas hospitality, local flavor, and meaningful moments. From complimentary wine tastings at nearby vineyards to special touches in every cottage, Wrenwood Ranch has created a stay that’s warm, memorable, and just a little magical.
🧺 What’s Waiting for You in Your Cottage at Wrenwood Ranch?
We’re not a resort—and we like it that way. Each of our seven cottages has been handcrafted and built by its owners.
Although a few of ammenaties may change from time to time, here are a few of the “extras” our guests love most:
Free Wine Tastings 🍷 to William Chris Vineyards and Hye Meadow Winery—two of the Texas Hill Country’s top spots
A welcome ice cream stack in your freezer (yes, really!)
A few farm fresh eggs from our chickens when available
HEB coffee and a curated tea selection
Pet-friendly lodging in most cottages—because your four-legged family deserves a getaway too
It’s our way of saying we’re glad you’re here—and giving you a few more reasons to relax and savor your stay.
🍇 Sip, Savor & Stroll: Meet Our Local Winery Partners
Two of the most loved wineries in the Texas Hill Country—just minutes from Wrenwood Ranch—are Hye Meadow Winery and William Chris Vineyards. We’re proud to offer complimentary tastings at both for our guests (a $25–$30 value per person!).
Hye Meadow Winery
Set beneath the shady oaks of Hye, TX, Hye Meadow Winery is a laid-back, fun-loving vineyard with big Texas character. Their award-winning wines range from bold reds to refreshing whites, and their outdoor patio is one of the best places to chill with a glass and a charcuterie board. Don't leave your dog behind, Dog's are welcome.
William Chris Vineyards
William Chris is one of the pioneers of 100% Texas-grown wine. Their tasting room—set in a restored farmhouse—is elegant and immersive, with gorgeous vineyard views. Every pour tells a story of place and passion, and their wine club is one of the most respected in the region.
We’ll leave tasting notes to the sommeliers—but trust us, you don’t want to skip either.
