Forts

Retire into the peace and quiet found in the wide-open spaces of one of our secluded forts. Cibolo Creek Ranch provides the ultimate luxury lodging in West Texas for a group of friends or family who want to enjoy time together in the privacy and comfort of this spacious, inviting retreat. Our forts can accommodate groups and private parties with up to 25 guests. There is a space to fit your needs, from large hunting parties to an exclusive glamping trip with friends.

Enjoy fine dining at Cibolo Fort of the Bison or arrange for a private chef while staying at Cienega Fort at the Marsh to come out and cook authentic regional cuisine in the fully stocked kitchen and serve in the private dining room. Our historic forts and haciendas blend modern amenities with ranch warmth and feature splendid views and beautiful guest rooms with original features and architecture. Each fort has its charm and story to uncover.

Cibolo Creek Ranch is one of the most sought-after Texas family resorts. The ranch provides exciting ranch activities on and off the ranch amid tunning 19th century forts that transport you back to an earlier way of life. Come and see what makes us one of the top resorts in Texas!

Cibolo Fort of the Bison

The Cibolo Fort is our largest structure, with adjoining haciendas accommodating bookings for 24 guest rooms. The rooms are only steps from the ranch’s complimentary amenities, including the pool, hot tub, multimedia room, library and more.

This fort sits in a lush landscape along an intermittent creek. The creek and surrounding terrain are inside a caldera – an ancient volcanic crater – created 32 million years ago. Fed by natural springs, this geography is favorable for agriculture in an otherwise rugged environment. The fort was built to protect pioneer Milton Faver’s spring-fed farmlands from raids by Apaches, Comanches and bandits.

Cienega Fort at the Marsh

The Cienega Fort is a self-contained complex accommodating private bookings of up to 25 guests in the fort and the adjoining hacienda’s 10 guest rooms. Rooms are available for group bookings and are suitable for private gatherings.

This fort delivers all of the modern amenities, plus a private swimming pool, hot tub, hammocks, multimedia room, professional kitchen and large dining room.

Morita Fort at the Little Mulberry Tree

The Morita Fort is truly a step back in time, offering a break from technology with an attractive one-bedroom cottage in a romantic setting. With a generator for electricity, you’ll find yourself settling into a peaceful rhythm. Enjoy evenings by gas lamps, with air conditioning supplied by the cool breezes. Stay warm on cool nights with a gas log stove. Enjoy dining up the road at Cibolo Creek Ranch or arrange to pick up your meals for a truly private experience.

The Morita Fort remains less than fully restored, at the request of the Texas State Historical Society. The fort has no roof and guests stay in an adjoining 19th century cottage.
