riven rock ranch

A few months back, the bebe and I went to visit my in-laws in Boerne, Texas.
It's just beautiful down there and I always request that we go drive around in the hill country of central Texas.
Luckily, my mother-in-law had already anticipated me and made reservations for a lovely Sunday lunch at the Riven Rock Ranch, a beautiful resort/B&B overlooking the river.

Riven Rock Ranch is at one with its hilltop panorama high above the Guadalupe River. That it appears to have taken root and grown among the native trees is part illusion, part reality. Original ranch structures built by German settlers in the 1870s were the beginning of today’s expansive ranch enclave. Stones and rocks used in construction and landscaping were—and still are—quarried on site. Founded as a ranch and farm operation, and still a working ranch with self-sufficiency farm undertones, Riven Rock Ranch is developing a new dimension as a legendary resort of very real pleasures and restorative powers.

Proprietors, Chris and Elaine Havens, have lovingly combined their energy, industry and artistry to create the perfect setting for rejuvenation, tranquility and celebration.They take great pride in providing their guests with a unique combination of luxury in a pastoral setting. It is their desire that, when you leave Riven Rock Ranch, you feel transformed and whole after experiencing this truly remarkable place.
