The small, unincorporated town of Mountain Home has one of the finest attractions in the State of Texas. The Y.O. Ranch — it has been a working ranch for 120 years pioneered and has six generations of the Schreiner family’s hard work and dedication to keeping this land’s history and beauty. A reputation for amazing country views, incredible wildlife, plenty of options on hunting different species and beautiful places to stay throughout the property, the Y.O. Ranch itself is enough to visit the town of Mountain Home. The Ranch is full of culture and history that dates back to 1880. There are so many things to do at the Y.O. Ranch, you won’t need to go anywhere else! Exotic game Safari and Historical tours, host your special event or wedding, group bus tours, and so much more.

The main lodge is the Headquarters of the Y.O. Ranch and is incredibly beautiful and enchanting. Play pool, relax and watch a movie on the big screen, take a dip in the pool, or just take in the views! All meals are served at the Chuck Wagon where everyone meats to enjoy some of the best ribs in the Hill Country.
