My family went there to attend a funeral in Kerrville. We had 5 people and two rooms with 3 dogs. We had a fantastic time. The pool was alot of fun to hang out at. We did a prime rib buffet and everything on the buffet was incredible. The bread pudding for dessert was very good. The people that worked there were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the Y.O. Ranch Hotel.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. Room was nice, very roomy. There for Red Kights Motorcycle Scooter Stampede. Availability of rooms for Red Knighton gather were very nice. Hotel staff (All) were very attentive and helpful. To be centrally located between Fredericksburg, Luckenbach, and Bandera, big plus. Plus to dine at Howdy’s and Billy Gene’s with a touch of Gibson’s before going home.

We stayed at the Y O Ranch Hotel today and it was such a warm, Texas-true experience. The entire place feels like a celebration of Texas history. Rustic wood, ranch memorabilia, and that old-school Hill Country charm make it feel welcoming instead of corporate. It has personality, which we loved. Melissa was especially wonderful. She was kind, attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for. The kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you are not just checking into a hotel, but being welcomed. Breakfast was delicious, simple and satisfying, exactly what you want to start the day. And the hot coffee was strong and fresh, which honestly matters more than people admit. If you are passing through Kerrville and want something with character, comfort, and real hospitality, the Y O Ranch Hotel is a great stop.

I absolutely love this real Texas historical hotel! The decor and artifacts are so interesting. The hotel itself is Texas at it's finest! The crate myrtle trees that surround the grounds are beautiful. The rooms are comfortable, big and the beds are really comfy as well. I highly recommend.

We love YO Ranch Hotel. It has so much character, is pet friendly, and the staff is super friendly. We travel to Kerrville frequently and this is our preferred hotel to stay in. This last stay I accidentally booked the wrong nights and didn’t realize my mistake until I was checking in at midnight on a Friday night. YO unfortunately did not have any vacancies - which was no fault of their own. But the staff worked with me to verify my options and ended up being able to release a hold and give me a room. It was so generous of them - they went above and beyond to help. We also travel with our two dogs and have found the facility to so easily accommodate them. Also it’s a great property to walk around with them. The rooms themselves aren’t fancy, but they are clean and a fun southwestern style. They also use nice local products which I really appreciate.
