WHERE TO STAY
Guadalupe River Ranch
The stone cabins in the woods at this
1920's ranch are comfortable, though
not luxurious—unless you count
sitting on a screened porch listening to the quiet a luxury. (I do.) At Christmas,
the buildings and fences are strung with lights, and there's a special dinner featuring turkey, ham, and wild game. Stick around until New Year's for a dance and fireworks at midnight.
