    RANCHO DEL LAGO, specializing in the Pure Spanish Andalusian, sits nestled in the quaint countryside of McDade, Texas - approximately 35 miles east of Austin. Rolling hills and pastures offer a pastoral setting for a relaxing country retreat. Enjoy watching horses and foals graze and play in the pastures, gather fresh eggs in the morning, and gaze at the stars on a clear night. Swim or soak in the hot tub. Choose the Texas Room, the English Suite, or the Foal Watch Room, more rustic accomodations associated with the stable. All have beds for two and a private bath. If, in addition to simply enjoying the country, you wish to ride, stalls, arena, and round pen may be available for your horse at an extra charge. Riding & dressage lessons on our RDL horses are also available by reservation. Spanish speaking staff available. Español que habla el personal disponible.
