HyattRanchland family playground
Three hundred wooded acres of former ranchland host an energetic resort where days revolve around golf fairways and a crystal lagoon.
What it’s good at
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set across 300 wooded ranchland acres in the Texas Hill Country, twenty minutes northwest of downtown San Antonio.
The rooms
Guest rooms are cleanly updated, while five standalone four-bedroom villas add expansive living space for larger groups.
The lagoon
Bring a swimsuit.
The Big Spring crystal lagoon covers 2.2 acres, with white-sand beaches and paddleboards set beneath live oaks.
The whirlpools
Indoor jetted tubs sit inside the spa locker rooms, and an outdoor whirlpool bubbles against a limestone rock wall.
The spa and gym
Peloton bikes equip the fitness center, and rustic spa suites offer massages drawing on Hill Country botanicals.
Restaurant
Antlers Lodge
The kitchen serves South Texas antelope and prime steaks beside a glowing limestone fireplace near the golf clubhouse.
At the table
Springhouse Café serves Southern comfort fare, and the Woodbine Bar mixes Hill Country cocktails under glowing chandeliers.
How it began
In 1887, D.G. Rogers traded a Wisconsin hotel for this land, which his descendants ran as a cattle ranch for over a century.
