After a scenic drive through the long narrow canyon along the edge of Montell Creek, youll find the Lodge. The spacious two-story Lodge is located in a quiet secluded canyon on the edge of Montell Creek. The lodge has four bedrooms, three baths, large open living area, kitchen with dining area, bar and CA/CH. The living area is enclosed with glass and offers magnificent view of the canyon, creek, and hills. From the comfort of the warp-around deck, guests can enjoy the sounds of naturethe sound of flowing water cascading over the water fall, breezes gently drifting through trees, and birds enjoying each season. This is country living at its best. Across the road from the lodge is a two bedroom two bath guest house with CA/CH. A breakfast nook opens to the front porch. A perfect little cabin for your overflow! Up the canyon on the side of a hill is the Casita. Casita was the home of the legendary bear hunter William Bill Wells. The exterior of this historic home has not been disturbed. The interior of the Casita has been remodeled with cedar trim and stone cabinet tops from the ranch. The home is one bedroom, one bath, living area with fireplace, kitchen with small dining table, and CH/CA. This old historic bear hunters home is a favorite hang-out for the younger generation. Two foreman's houses are located near the barn and livestock pens. The sizeable barn has horse stalls and feed storage areas.

The eastern part of the ranch is scenic canyons with high limestone cliffs. The southern area of the ranch is rolling hill country with wide canyons covered with Live Oak, Elm, Spanish Oak, Pinion Pine, and Cedar tree. Native shrubs include Mountain Laurel, Persimmon, Guajillo, Catclaw, and Kinneykenick. The northern section of the ranch varies from rolling hills to plateau country with good cover of native grass and large native trees.

There are two amazing caves on the ranch. Palace Cave is the largest carven in the Upper Nueces River Basin. The cavern is 1,800 feet long. Stalagmites and Stalactites and other unusual formations adorn the interior of the cavern. An underground stream flows through the back part of the cavern. Palace Cave was discovered by Bill Wells in 1870.
