About the Ranch

The Experience

Withers Ranch is located deep in the Davis Mountains in far west Texas. Situated in northern Jeff Davis County and eleven miles from the highway on primitive roads, it is accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles. The ranch offers an escape for those interested in swimming, hiking, birding and enjoying beautiful mountain country. The ranch has been in our family since 1972 and is dedicated to the protection and preservation of nature. Through a conservation easement, it is part of a 100,000 acre bioreserve under the stewardship of the Nature Conservancy that stretches from the slopes of Mt. Livermore to the mouth of Madera Canyon, downstream from the ranch. Come enjoy the magic of Madera Canyon, the music of the stream, western sunsets and storms, and create your own memories there.

Where You'll Stay

The guest house offers unparalleled natural beauty and solitude for the naturalist, hiker, birder or anyone interested in exploring the rugged backcountry or just admiring it from the raised porch.

A combination of modern comfort and rustic style, the house sleeps up to 8 people. Comfortable for two families or perfect for a group getaway, each bedroom has a double bed and two twins outfitted in high thread count sheets and down comforters.

There is one full bath with a spacious shower and a second half bath in the master bedroom. Large windows and glass doors on almost all sides of the house allow for lots of natural light, spectacular views, and a glimpse of the occasional wildlife visitor.

Wood burning fireplaces in the bedroom and living room provide ambient warmth in the winter.
