We were incredibly fortunate to receive a 2-night stay at the Sol Naciente casita and a group cooking class for our 1 year anniversary and it was a truly magical and relaxing experience. The property is so beautiful and coupled with the clean and comfortable accommodations, provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Austin. The zen garden aesthetic and stunning views were truly amazing to take in. We had an absolute blast at the group cooking class. Sandie, the instructor/owner, was fantastic, and her husband/owner, Joe, grilled up some incredible steaks. We spent several hours enjoying wine and creating delicious dishes alongside a small group of friendly strangers. It was one of the best cooking classes weve ever taken! Overall, this was an incredibly relaxing and memorable experience. We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend a few days at this beautiful ranch and recharge our batteries.

My daughter, friends, and I took a canning class with Sibby Barrett at Mystic Sky. We had so much fun and learned a lot! The jams and red sauce we made and canned were delicious. This was a wonderful experience, and I am looking forward to taking more classes. Thank you!

Lovely place. My husband and I went for a couple of nights and stayed in the second floor casita (1 of 4). We enjoyed the infinity pool (complete with nice floats, bathroom, outdoor kitchen and more) and the personal sauna. While the casitas are somewhat close together, there is still a fair amount of privacy with the way they are arranged. Also several spots on the property you can go and enjoy solitude with a view. Sandi and Joe were excellent hosts with lots of attention to details that we appreciated. (Beach towels, sauna towels, robes in the room.) Looking forward to going back and maybe checking out the cooking classes that are periodically offered.

My husband and I spent two nights at the Mystic Sky Ranch in one of their luxurious casitas, and from the moment we arrived it felt like arriving home. The casita we stayed in was beautifully appointed, lovely linens, comfy chairs, and luxurious bathrobes to lounge in. The pool area is gorgeous, overlooking the hill country, with all sort of flora and fauna to enjoy in the mid May sun. However the best thing about the property are the owners Sandie and Joe. They are the most welcoming hosts you could ask for - they make you feel like family and you re immediately at ease. We wished we could have spent more time in this special place and if we ever return to the hill country, we know where we ll stay.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mystic Sky Ranch for a business trip, and I am compelled to share my exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that Mystic Sky Ranch is more than just a place to stay its a haven of tranquility and luxury nestled in natures embrace. The first thing that struck me was the breathtaking setting. The ranch is situated amidst rolling hills, surrounded by lush greenery, and offers views that are nothing short of magical. The name Mystic Sky Ranch couldnt be more fitting, as the vast expanse of sky seemed to blend seamlessly with the landscape, creating an awe-inspiring backdrop for both work and relaxation. The accommodations in the casitas are amazing. The casita I stayed in was not only impeccably clean and well-appointed but also designed with a keen eye for detail. The rustic charm of the decor added a touch of warmth, making it feel like a home away from home. The comfortable bed and plush amenities ensured a restful nights sleep, essential for anyone on a business trip. For those moments of relaxation, Mystic Sky Ranch offers a range of amenities, including a pool and sauna. In conclusion, Mystic Sky Ranch exceeded my expectations on every front. It seamlessly blended business and leisure, providing a setting conducive to productivity while offering a retreat-like atmosphere. Meals were lovingly prepared and delicious. If youre looking for a business trip experience that combines serenity, luxury, and top-notch service, Mystic Sky Ranch is the destination of choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it and eagerly anticipate my next opportunity to return.

My recent company retreat at Mystic Sky Ranch was great experience. The ranch, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, offered a serene environment to reconnect with nature and with colleagues. The views of the surrounding hills from the casitas are wonderful. Beyond the beautiful backdrop, the ranch provided a welcoming space for our team to come together. The spacious common areas facilitated casual conversations and collaboration, while the individual casitas offered quiet spots for individual reflection. The food at the Ranch was equally impressive. Each meal showcasing fresh, local ingredients prepared with care. Thank you Sandie! .

Our group stayed at the ranch last weekend and were blown away by how peaceful and beautiful the property is. The owners, Sandie & Joe, are the best and made sure that everything was perfect for us. The casitas are all unique, super clean, very well stocked with modern amenities and have comfy furniture & beds. The property is gorgeous and secluded with tons of wildlife and multiple, private sitting areas for relaxing. If youre bringing kids, there is a huge pool and a nearby bocce court. The pool deck has a pavilion with plenty of space for entertaining and/or escaping the sun. This was our favorite place in the evenings to relax and watch the sunset. We didnt have an event at The Barn, but we did tour it and the commercial kitchen. Both are top-of-the-line and would be perfect for a wedding or family reunion. I really cant say enough nice things about the property and its owners.

I had a really lovely stay at Mystic Sky Ranch. The property was beautiful, well maintained, and the casitas were very nice. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a really nice space to spend time in. I appreciate how the interior was decorated as well. The owners dropped off muffins for us on Saturday and that was really sweet, and the muffins were delicious. I didnt get a chance to swim, but my friends and I did marvel at how lovely the swimming pool looked. The owners Sandy and Joe were kind and responsive. I would absolutely come and stay here again in the future. My only feedback is it would be nice to connect to a Wi-Fi signal within the room.

Heaven on earth -- do yourself a favor and block out some time here to disconnect and enjoy the beauty, nature and serenity of the Texas HIll County. We like to unplug at the amazing pool all afternoon and make a DIY fancy meal at the gourmet outdoor kitchen (photos of a few of our creations included here) as the sun sets. Sandie and Joe are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts that have a deep love for this magical place and a willingness to share it with their guests. Weve been coming here for years and theyve added even more beauty and warmth to such a special destination. Hope to return again and again!

Thank you Joe and Sandie Ward for the rental of your beautiful venue for my recent yoga workshop. We had a lovely day of yoga in The Barn, a delicious lunch prepared by Sibby Barrett of Onion Creek Kitchens at Juniper Hills Farm, walking meditation and lovely wine down to cap off the day. Weather was perfect and we had a wonderful group of yogis to soak in the beauty. Grateful for the opportunity to spend the day with some of my fave people.

I just arrived home from Mystic Sky Ranch and I m ready to plan another trip. This last weekend we attended our 3rd cooking class with Sibby Barrett. Saturday we made pizzas in the outdoor oven. The setting was beautiful, company delightful and food delicious. Sibby gave us a lesson on pizza dough and we created our own individual pizzas from almost twenty topping choices. A fresh salad and then delectable limoncello cupcakes topped off the meal. We spent an enjoyable 3 nights in one of the casitas at the ranch. Mornings enjoying eating homemade muffins, the birds singing in the trees, deer and the sunrise, afternoons exploring the towns in the area and evenings in the resort style pool or by the fire. Always a wonderful getaway thanks to Sandie and Joe. Thank you for a wonderful getaway. We will return!

Mystic Sky Ranch was the perfect weekend getaway for our group of 4 couples. Gorgeous grounds, surrounded by the hill country - we enjoyed the scenic views and the night sky filled with stars. The casitas were very clean and beautifully decorated with a southwestern vibe yet elegant. We appreciated the many special touches like the Pendleton and Frette towels in the lovely bathroom, all the goodies in the cute kitchenette and the artwork throughout the room. We all enjoyed the infinity pool, the outdoor kitchen and the beautiful and spacious covered patio with fireplace. Great space to gather and cook a meal. We could not have asked for a lovelier place to have our reunion. Thank you to owners Sandie and Joe for their hospitality and for making our weekend so special!

Mystic Ranch was the best experience for four couples looking to celebrate milestone birthdays. College roommates, we traveled from California, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island to celebrate together. Each couple selected a casita. They were all fantastic and unique. There were many common areas to all be together, but privacy when desired. Sandie and Joe have thought of everything from amazing muffins delivered to our door (in the coolest lunchboxes ever)...to black washcloths to avoid makeup stains... to cute and inspirational messages scattered throughout the casitas. In-room coffee makers (with TEA!) were great to accompany mornings sitting outside taking in the serene surroundings. And I dont know if planned or not, but Springsteens Born to Run vinyl was cued up on our turntable we are from NJ. There are no words to describe the amazing pool and outdoor kitchen. Sandie and Joe are the best hosts with great knowledge of the entire area. Their love and respect for the property is evident in every aspect Mystic Sky Ranch. The location is perfect to tour Fredericksburgs and Dripping Springs wineries and a fascinating trip to Lukenbach (if you know you know or google it). Mystic Sky Ranch is an easy ride from Austin. Two things we didnt do to add to next time luxuriate in the sauna and have Chef Sibby come in and cook in the incredible meal at the jaw dropping on-site kitchen.

Super unique, picturesque, tiny home style Air-B-N-B. The place was elegant, yet simple. The weekend was cool when we were there and we weren t able to enjoy the incredible pool & outdoor kitchen. I went for a super meditative walk on the East side of the property and it was wonderful. Our place had a small microwave, a small wine style refrigerator and plenty of makings for coffee and tea (small plates and utensils available for snacks as well). Saturday morning we had Banana Bread dropped off by the owners! Nice touch. If you need ice, bring your own from Dripping Springs. Pedernales State park is 20 min away and I highly recommend a visit to the falls. Don t hesitate to give this wonderful place a try. You ll love it!

We held a cooking class birthday party for 12 people. This is a lovely facility in a lovely setting with a large commercial kitchen. It was perfect for this event. Sandie was most accommodating and welcoming. There were zero issues, and we all had a great time. Some of our guests want to come back for a long weekend in the casitas. In addition, Sibby Barrett, our cooking teacher is wonderful, and also very accommodating. Highly recommended if you would like a cooking class or to join one of her scheduled classes.

The property is beautiful with lots of great little places to walk, read, beautiful infinity pool where i spend a lot of time enjoying the beautiful water and even had a few meals cooked by the pool! Hosts Sandie Ward and Joe Ward are so welcoming and friendly, and the muffins Joe delivers each morning are incredible....muffins alone are worth a visit :). Highly recommend for a getaway, small wedding, cooking classes or event. There is a commercial kitchen and large dining area and amazing barn for music and entertaining. 5 stars.

We have stayed at the casitas many times, have brought friends with us for weekends and even invited family from South Africa to enjoy a long weekend at this heavenly place. We have absolutely loved the beauty, peace, decor, walks, and the sauna. The highlight for me is the infinity pool with well equipped outdoor kitchen. I have recently had great fun attending the cooking classes in their commercial kitchen, where I met such interesting people. Mystic Sky Ranch is indeed a very special place. Now that we have moved from Dallas to the Hill Country, I hope to attend more cooking and yoga classes there.

When you enter the gate to Mystic Sky Ranch, the serenity begins. My husband and I stayed in Bella Luna this weekend and it was perfect. The owners went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. (They offer just the right amount of interaction with the guest.) The ranch is secluded and you can walk thru the trees and look out over the hill country, there is a gorgeous pool with a large pavilion and fireplace, plus firepits. The private deck was a great place to enjoy the night sky and the warm muffins that are delivered to your door in the morning. They are scrumptious with coffee and delivered in a vintage lunch box. The sauna was just what we needed after a night out in Wimberley. My husband is hard to get out of his shop and even he says Mystic Ranch is a place all couples should visit and wants us to go back! Mystic Sky also has a commercial kitchen on-site and event barn. We will checking out the cooking classes soon. While you feel miles away, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, and Blanco are all just minutes away.

We stayed here for 2 nights to get out of Austin for our anniversary. When we arrived, there was a hand written card welcoming us and a pretty decent bottle of red wine waiting on the table. Nice little touches like warm muffins in the morning dropped at your door. The property is large, and quiet. We only saw one other person the whole time so if youre looking for a bit of the off the grid experience but within reach to towns / restaurants, this is a good option.

Our band, The Creek Bed Grifters, played in the barn at Mystic Sky Ranch on a recent Saturday night. We had a ball and got a lot of positive feedback from those who attended (around 85 people). The barn has great acoustics, great personality, and is open air so that the music mixes with the beautiful natural surroundings. Its equipped with fans for the summer and heaters for the winter. The owners, Joe and Sandie Ward, are fun-loving folks with an artistic flair and they ensured that we had a killer setting for music. To all you tunesmiths, I would highly recommend playing there, and to all you music lovers, I would highly recommend checking out a show at Mystic Sky Ranch.

We had a great time enjoying the front-porch mornings watching the many species of birds saying, hello, and classic tunes playing on the turntable. Evenings at the pool were an added bonus. Great hosts, great casitas, and a great location! Be sure to hit some wineries in the area, and if youre looking for a good hike, Pedernales Falls State Park was a short 20 minute drive away.

Everything about this place is magic! If you want to be surrounded by nature and get away from the routine, this is the place. Set in the beautiful Hill Country, it reminds one more of Tuscany than Texas. The owners are welcoming hosts and have put their heart and soul into every detail. The casitas are all different, each with its own unique style. I stayed in Sol Naciente which had a extremely comfortable bed my favorite, a turn table with classic vinyl records you can play - super cool! The outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee and birdwatching. Additional highlights; lounging at the infinity pool, reading in a hammock with a soft breeze amongst the cedars and the fun bocce ball court. The only thing I hated? Leaving....

What a beautiful way for a get away. We had a ladies 2 night stay that started with a pizza dinner made in an outdoor oven. What a gorgeous setting to start our mini vacation. Sandie was such a beautiful hostess, from the table setting to serving us and getting to know each other. Sibby brought the most incredible ingredients for our pizzas. She even made the dough!! Then off to our rooms. Wow!! So pretty and comfortable!! Since we had 8 of us, we had all the rooms. Every one of them were comfortable and had luscious bedding. After a good nights rest, we all got together outside and played cards with Sandie then bringing us warm muffins in antique lunch pails!! That evening we had a cooking class right there on site in an amazing kitchen with Sibby, her Sister Kathy, and Sandie teaching us all a bit of French Cuisine The food was absolutely amazing!!! I would highly recommend going to Mystic Ranch to unwind and unplug!! Thank you Sandie for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!

5 Star Review for Mystic Sky Ranch! My friend and I just returned from Mystic Sky Ranch and cannot stop talking about the beautiful acreage, stylish comfortable Casitas and stunning peace and quiet of the property. Hosted by welcoming owners Sandie and Joe Ward, we were treated to a delicious dinner of Pesto Crusted Salmon on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes and spinach followed by Raspberry Chocolate Mousse. Refreshing fizzy Hibiscus Mocktails with Hibiscus and rose tea, lime juice, Topo Chico and a hibiscus flower (by Cookie & Kate) were summer in a glass! Evening welcomed us with relaxation as we tucked ourselves into our luxury bed, sheets and pillows. A delivery of warm banana nut bread, cleverly served in a vintage Western-themed lunchbox, arrived the next morning to our door. Swoon! The serene outdoor infinity pool (with outdoor kitchen entertaining area) with sparkling clear water of the perfect temperature was the perfect place to unwind. Wimberley is a short ride away with shops and lunch at The Leaning Pear did not disappoint. Having never traveled to the Hill Country of Texas, we were pleasantly surprised at the bounty of sunflowers and day lilies at nearby Arnosky Family Farms. Love to return to the immense commercial kitchen for a future cooking class! The beautifully lit barn has a huge dance floor just right for a rehearsal dinner or wedding. Set in nature, a retreat would be fantastic here! When you go, and you must, make sure to visit Hill Country Lavender 5 minutes away and take in the panoramic sunset views from cobalt blue Adirondack chairs overlooking the valley. If you are lucky enough to meet the owners, their warmth and generosity of spirit will enhance the already peaceful and contemplative space. It was easy to put aside our busy lives, breathe in the clean fresh air, and take time to be mindful of all the surrounding beauty

The Mystic Sky Ranch was a perfect convenient getaway for friends who live throughout the US. The setting was outstanding with four cute and comfortable casitas, a commercial kitchen and large dining area so we can all help prepare, eat and enjoy our meals together. Sandie and Joe were gracious hosts. They coordinated activities such as Yoga, massages, nature walks, boating, Texas BBQ and a lovely poolside dinner. The only problem was the vacation was too short.......we will return !!

Just left this gorgeous property and we highly recommend! For those looking for a tranquil, off the beaten path place to unwind and connect with nature, this is your destination. Beautiful flora and fauna nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, it s peaceful and secluded, but not far from all the fun towns in the surrounding area: Blanco, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Johnson City, Fredericksburg, etc. Hosts Sandie and Joe know what they re doing. Each casita is thoughtfully prepared and the infinity pool is glorious. Just go.

I booked this place to stay in the area during college grad time for my mother and I. This place is beautiful. I really enjoyed the patio off the back of our cabin, the hammock among the trees lit by solar lights at night, and the pool was was such a refresher after a run at the Blanco State Park. I will admit it had a few down falls. When I booked I requested in the comments section for the pull out sofa to be prepared. ( I was giving my mother the bed, so Id sleep on the pull out sofa that was advertised) It was not prepared upon arrival, that is OK I found the linens and put them on myself- not ideal though after a 5 hour drive. The photos on the website lead you believe you may enjoy some fruit or perhaps a baked good in the morning, this was not the case. (This could be some misunderstanding?) Coffee was accessible via Keurig, however there was not enough stocked for two people to enjoy each morning we booked. Would I stay again? Yes. Price point wise though Id hoped to feel a little more accommodated. I would simply plan better for our breakfast and coffee. Something I believe is note worthy is that I heard this place is under new ownership, perhaps the slight down falls are due to a transitionary period/ or learning curve. Edit: The owner did reach out after this review to remedy some of the concerns I had. I believe the owner truly cares about the guests that stay here. I would gladly stay here again, and I appreciated her reaching out to make things right! Adding a star for service!

I had a wonderful experience at Mystic Sky Ranch.The owners are warm and welcoming. The casita was charming and comfortable. I enjoyed spending time outdoors. The lavender garden is beautiful and the view from that area is extra gorgeous. And, the negative edge pool was a great escape from the heat. I highly recommend a visit to Mystic Sky Ranch.

How beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! We loved our stay here and will be back often. The owners are wonderful - thank you for the hospitality and conversation Joe, Sandie and family! 16 species of birds observed on the stone porch outside our room, and one new species for my personal book: a female Scott s Oriole. Rooms are super clean & comfortable, the pool and outdoor kitchen is amazing. What a wonderful use of this calming part of the Texas Hill Country. Already planning our next visit. Thanks for sharing it! Ryan & Tiffany

I had the best time at Mystic Sky Ranch! Chef Sibby is such a character and the food we created with her guidance was phenomenal. I was expecting a great cooking class, and I got that, but the experience felt more like a night in with close friends. We just happened to be seamlessly making a fantastic meal together! After a few glasses of lovely wine, I was patting myself on the back for booking a casita. It was so cute y all! Tons of thoughtful details and the comfiest bed ever. The owners, Sandie and Joe, treated us like family and even delivered fresh baked muffins in a vintage lunchbox to our porch in the morning! I took full advantage of the sauna and I look forward to admiring the beautiful view from the infinity edge pool on my next visit!

We live in Houston and have been making the drive to stay here in one of the casitas and also attend some of the cooking classes for over 10 years. Weve been in every season and every type of weather. The views are beautiful every time and the feel of the place is ultimate in relaxation. There are 4 casitas with mini kitchens and outdoor spaces, a bocce ball court, a pool and outdoor kitchen. You can bring your own food or drive into Blanco, Wimberly or Dripping Springs to eat. The hosts Sandie and Joe are wonderful and take care of your every need.

Wow! What an incredible experience! I took a cooking class at this location and had the best time. The chef instructor was knowledgeable, friendly, and I learned some cool new tricks to take home. The venue is stunning and the perfect scene for a ladies weekend or large party. Will be back!

Mystic Sky Ranch is a quiet, cozy, property with lovely Casitas, a Commercial Kitchen, and an Event Barn. We were fortunate enough to visit and stay in one of the beautiful Casitas that was absolutely perfect, & stocked with all the essentials and much more! Owners, Sandie and Joe were wonderful host and could not have been more gracious, and welcoming. We loved our time spent there and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing, unique get away!
