- Views & Nature

A beautiful venue and ranch. It's Tuscan-Hill Country, filled with wildflowers, trails, and more. Nearby wineries, distilleries, breweries, or Lake Travis. Relax and experience birds singing, and deer walking by.

I (Mark) Bee Creek Ranch's owner live at the venue and you might see me. Feel free to say hi, otherwise I'll give you your space. It's up to you.

We have other amazing Short-term rentals on the venue. You can check them out by looking at our profile.

RO Drive is a country road, with quiet neighbors. Feel like you're in the country when only minutes away from food and entertainment.

Guests have access to most of the 7 acres of the Bee Creek Ranch. There are trails back into the woods past our olive groves. While the larger venue is shared, Willie's Place has a semi-private yard and deck where you can be by yourselves. You will receive a door code in messages/email on the day of arrival.

The venue is a rustic, reminiscent of the Italian Tuscan countryside. The venue has everything an Italian village has, including its own stage and theater, but inside Willie's Place, you'll experience a drastic change, with a Willie Nelson themed feel. Willie Nelson's Luck Ranch is nearby and he used to own the property. Amazing bathrooms, marble floors. Sitting on the massive deck, you'll enjoy the nature from high above.

Our venue is off RO Dr, up a lane. Parking for two vehicles right outside Willie's Place which is the first building on the right as you drive up the lane. You'll first see the huge deck.

Only 30-35 minutes from downtown Austin, Tx, enjoy the city and the Hill Country from a central location. Multiple Breweries, Wineries, parks and Authentic Texas BBQ joints just minutes away, it's a great place to get into nature, chill, relax and be a short drive to Austin, Dripping Springs, Marble Falls, and the Wine Country of Fredericksburg. Easy shopping and conveniences lie just 10 minutes away in the towns of Lakeway and Beecave.

Important Notes:
We love Pets at Bee Creek Ranch, but we also need to know if you're bringing them. We have a Pet fee of $75 for up to 2 pets. You can pay this during the online booking check out, or contact us before check-in and we'll send a payment link. If you bring a pet and it's not a legal service animal, you must pay the pet fee. Cleaning-up after pets often takes housekeeping hours more effort because their fine fur gets everywhere and vacuums won't clean it. Every inch of the cottage must be painstakingly inspected. This is true even for hypoallergenic pets. Please, when booking, include the pet so you can pay the pet fee. If you forgot or didn't see where to pay, please contact the host so you can pay directly. The funds go to housekeeping in order to make certain the next guest has an amazing experience. The pet fee covers and is limited to 2 pets per stay. If you have more than 2 pets reach out to us to see if we accept more than 2 pets in your situation and the pet fee addendum.

Our units have amenities like hot tubs. We require a liability waiver to be signed before check-in. This is a requirement of our insurance. We appreciate your compliance. We kindly request you follow all amenity rules for your own safety and so that future guests will be able to enjoy them as well.

Bee Creek Ranch is in nature, and you'll see foxes, rabbits, tons of deer, and all other sorts of critters from time to time. While they are fun to watch, don't touch. Texas does have poisonous and dangerous critters. Keep your distance, and be observant when you walk around the property. Especially if you bring a pet. Pets must always be on a leash outside.

Bee Creek Ranch has an Art Gallery and Stage/Theater that from time to time might be used for events and activities on the property including concerts and weddings. If an event is scheduled during your stay we will do our best to make you aware of this, however, we do not guarantee there will be no events during your stay. Most events are open to our guests to enjoy. Do you want to rent out the stage or other facilities for an event? Reach out to us!

Security Note: For our guest's security, we do have security cameras located throughout the venue so we know who comes in and out of the venue; it's big! But no worries, no cameras in your unit.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Pedernales Country Club. Features include a hot tub. The cottage offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Relaxing Stay
Our family was traveling through for a high school sports event and it was the perfect place to unwind and make a few memories. The decor of Willie’s House was so fun. While the house isn’t large, it had plenty of space, was well appointed and thoughtfully laid out. Mark, the host, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We were specifically looking to stay somewhere with a hot tub and it fit the bill perfectly. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Just a Great place to stay
An amazing good time, the place is a quick drive from Austin, but once your there,,, you feel miles away. Owners are super nice and very helpful.. My daughter and her friends are already asking when we are going to go back.
