The Ox Ranch in Uvalde, Texas has cabins that are as beautiful as the nature surrounding them. The log cabins are a piece of history that dates as far back as the early 1800s. They have been relocated from Kentucky and rebuilt, log by log, to include modern-day amenities. The log cabin's lakefront setting, rustic interiors, and beautiful wood-burning fireplaces are sure to leave you breathless. The log cabins are strategically placed along the water where thousands of native and exotic wildlife species visit. The Ox Ranch is located less than two hours west of San Antonio and has over 18,000 acres of beautiful Texas Hill Country. Words truly cannot describe what is quickly becoming known as the prettiest ranch in Texas.

Ox Ranch is blessed to have such a colorful and unique history. They are doing further research, however, the little that has been discovered is truly astounding. The ranch's earliest notable history traces back to the days of the dinosaurs. They have museum-quality Tyrannosaurus T.rex tracks embedded into an old river bed. There are two sets of tracks that split apart before circling back together. It appears as if the T-Rexes were participating in one of the property's first hunts.
