Rancho Moonrise — Hotel in Manor

Love LOVE loveeeee staying here with my family. Discovered this jem in October and have already stayed twice in one month. Great place to stay, rain or shine. The tents are elevated and secure so when it rained our second stay, it was the perfect combination of glamping and dealing with the wilderness. Enjoying a storm in the comfort of a comfy bed and fluffy pillows. It was honestly the highlight of our stay, funny enough. They have amazing cute events perfect for the family to enjoy. We recently attended a Halloween movie night and horse back riding and can’t wait to come back again. Definitely grab your favorite cowboy boots and put them to use. They have tents that include bathrooms but their shared bathrooms are so luxurious, my family prefers to just slide our boots on and walk to the restroom [we have a toddler]. They have the comforts of home, including warm water, shampoo/conditioner and body wash. Again the showers were amazing both stays, rain or shine. When it rained, we doordashed some raincoats and it was a perfect little adventure. The location is perfect, we brought light groceries [mini fridge provided], but also were able to doordash food here and there. Bill Millers breakfast Tacos, last minute necessities from walgreens, ect… Thankful for every single experience Rancho Moonrise has provided for my family and this is our new spot for a staycation. Far enough you really get to enjoy the outdoors while also close enough to everything you might need. Fyi not every tent has a clothing rack, as pictured in the family safari tent [bunk bed]. We have stayed once in a safari tent with one bunk bed and one queen bed, then another time with two queen beds. No cooking facilities, so plan ahead, whether thats a small grocery pickup/delivery. Beautiful, unique and vintage merch sold in shop, the bar is in the shop as well so you can purchase food and beverages [alchohol + coffee] while they are open. Could travel with family, friends, solo, thats another thing so great...

Rancho Moonrise is one of those rare places that reminds you what makes Texas so special—its deep roots, its wide-open skies, and its ability to surprise you.

From the moment you arrive, you notice the care and intention behind every detail. The design honors the spirit of Texas while embracing a colorful, modern energy. The murals tell stories. The pool invites you to slow down. The whole space blends seamlessly with the natural beauty around it.

We first visited for a soulful Alex Lambert concert that was equal parts festive and elevated. We returned for a vintage market and pool day, and the vibe was just as good, maybe even better.

Rancho Moonrise is close enough to Austin for an easy getaway, but once you're there, it feels like a world of its own. Thoughtful. Welcoming. Full of promise.

If there's one thing I’d love to see, it’s more food options to round out the experience—but I trust they’re already thinking ahead.

It’s a place worth visiting, and revisiting. A space that brings people together in all...

I brought my mom to Rancho Moonrise to celebrate her birthday by the pool, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We brought our own snacks and picked up drinks from Rancho's on-site mini bar and we enjoyed those while we lounged. I’ve also spent a few sunny pool days here with friends and attended a wellness day retreat — every single visit has been absolutely wonderful and thoughtfully planned.

From the sweet hospitality upon entry at the front desk (shout out to Monet!!💓) to the little touches like ice cream service by the pool. The entire setting is just beautiful — peaceful, thoughtfully designed, and easy to relax into.

Another highlight for me is their little shoppe. I never leave without picking up a few unique, artisan finds to embellish my home and life with.

Rancho Moonrise is truly special, and I can’t wait for my first overnight stay to experience it in a whole new way.

Love...
