Welcome to Rocking M Ranch Wedding, Events, and Lodging, the ultimate rustic indoor/outdoor venue! Plan your perfect wedding day or special occasion, or just a weekend getaway with family and friends in the country. Fees shown here are for lodging only. Event pricing is separate. Please contact owner for details.
Kick back with family or friends and enjoy one night, or more, at this secluded, country paradise. Relax by the pool or fire up the BBQ smoker and get your cornhole game face on for some outdoor fun! The large, two-story ranch-plex is perfect for large groups, featuring two full living spaces with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, two great rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, and two fully-stocked kitchens. The lodge sleeps up to 20 persons. Two separate screened porches span the back of the lodge overlooking the pool area. A large utility with W/D, full fridge with icemaker, and 1/2 bath separate the connecting living spaces. The downstairs features 2 master suites, one on each side of the lodge, each with a private bath. One master suite features 1 queen, and 1 twin bed, and a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower and 2 sinks. The second downstairs master has 1 queen, and 2 twin beds, private bath with walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, and one sink.
The upstairs opens to a game room and common area with pool/ping pong table, galley kitchen with sink, microwave, mini-fridge, drip coffeemaker, and a wall-mounted large screen TV. A full bath with walk-in shower is adjacent to the common area. There are three upstairs bedrooms which include: (a) 1 queen, 2 twin beds, large screen TV (b) 1 double, 2 twin beds with a walk-through closet to the full bath with shower (this bathroom also opens out to the common area). (c) 1 queen, 1 twin bed, with a private bathroom and shower/tub combination. Bedroom (c) is semi-private from the other bedrooms with a connecting door, and has its own staircase.
Step outside the lodge to a spacious backyard and a little slice of heaven, complete with a canvas of stars at night and party lights over the pool and throughout the 1/4 acre venue. Surround yourself with nature and enjoy the sound of a trickling waterfall, in-ground pool, hot tub, firepit, propane grill, picnic area, custom BBQ smoker, and large pond.
While here, visit Round Top's world of antiquing, nearby wineries, or Formula One racing at the Circuit of the Americas (bypassing Austin traffic). Visit historic Smithville and Bastrop just down the road for shopping, movies, and restaurants. If hiking's your thing, take in the bike or walking trails along the Colorado River in nearby Buescher or Bastrop state parks. Known as the "megalopolis", Smithville is an easy drive from the major cities of Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and College Station.
The rental is ideal for a Round Top antiquing adventure (plenty of space to park large trucks or trailers), family reunions, wedding parties, golf/ getaway, club event, or just kicking back for a relaxing weekend. While visiting Smithville, who knows who you will run into with film and music stars such as Shirley McLain, Jack Black, Elizabeth Olsen, and Ryan Bingham (who stayed at the ranch while filming 'A Country Called Home').
Take your boots off, pull up a rocker, and enjoy country life at its best. Check us out at Rocking M Ranch Weddings, Events, and Lodging for additional event information. Here at the ranch, we know hospitality, and we are.... "Real Country, Real Close"!! Hope to see you soon.
PLEASE NOTE: VRBO automatically collects the required 6% State Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT tax), but does not automatically collect the required 7.5% Bastrop County HOT tax. We collect a "Property Fee" of $147 to offset the local 7.5% HOT tax on a 2-night stay. However, this fee would be adjusted if booking for a longer stay to reflect the 7.5% tax.
