Moe and Jo’s Haus at the Rocking MJ Ranch has a history as unique as the Texas Hill Country

A charming, secluded cabin awaits you tucked amidst live oak trees that have stood for generations on this Tex-German Hill Country ranch. This unique cabin echoes another time. In fact, it was modeled after the officers’ quarters of the Texas Frontier forts.

Its simple appointments and roomy bedrooms provide comfort during your stay. You will enjoy your time here watching the deer and birds who feed near the cabin. Watch the sunset from the comfortable porches or make the most of all that the New Braunfels area has to offer. The cabin is conveniently located near the crystal blue waters of the Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake and all of its Amenities.

While we can only imagine where the Apache and later Comanche tribal groups may have camped on the Rocking MJ Ranch -- the presence of arrowheads indicates that they hunted and stayed on this land at one time. For the last 120 years, the ranch has been in the Jonas/Schwab family. Historically, the ranch was used as grazing land for Hereford cattle and a hard-scrabble home for Angora, and later, Spanish and Boer goats.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, the ranch had been home to a cedar chopper family who “sharecropped” cedar in exchange for rent to live on the Rocking MJ Ranch. In fact, some of the cedar posts that hold up the front and back porches of Moe and Jo’s Haus came from trees that surrounded the dirt-floor “lean-to” home of that cedar chopper family.

The most dynamic features of the ranch are the scrub live oaks, cedar lined ravines and steppe-like limestone and caliche uplifts, and friendly yard ornaments Tex and Rex the Longhorn Cattle who reside at the ranch.

Moe and Jo’s Haus is named for the previous owners, the parents of the current owners. Moe and Jo Schwab were the fourth generation of the Jonas/Schwab family to own this picturesque place. They ranched and tended this Hill Country ranch for more than 60 years. It’s now open to couples and families for a retreat and relaxing vacation.

You will never forget your stay at this cozy cabin in one of the most beautiful parts of Texas.

"We loved everything about staying at Moe and Jo’s Haus! The accommodations were very clean and comfortable, the AC worked great, and we had plenty of space. The fenced in yard was wonderful for our dogs and we saw 3 longhorns everyday who were so sweet and docile. The property was so peaceful and quiet. We’d definitely stay here again!

"We had a great time at Mo & Joe's House. The bedrooms were very comfortable as was the rest of the house. The porch was a highlight as was the fenced yard. We got to see the 2 longhorn bulls up close and personal. They are handsome guys! We certainly will come back when we plan another trip to Canyon Lake. Thanks for a great stay.
