Great people operating this VRBO. No issues with accommodations except the kitchen/frig is a pretty awkward arrangement, especially for large groups. Updated, classic turn of the century (1900) structure without ruining the "old" effect that we wanted the grandkids to sense. Enjoyed the privacy with any help needed (and there was not any) within earshot. P.S. GG daughter really enjoyed the chickens!

Awesome!

Stay is awesome it’s in the country so definitely country vibes! I did host small party for my 15 year old daughter and they loved the house it’s historic vibes, property manager did come and greet us he is on the property separate from where we stayed.Pool was awesome at night so beautiful and refreshing!! My kids even got great swim before checking out. My family and friends had so much fun and there is chickens and roosters walking around caught several cardinals and pretty humming bird early in the morning so pretty. The only thing is carpet in the kitchen and living room area however my guest didn’t mind taking off there shoes if you are not okay then wear socks.

Beautiful and Charming

We’ve rented various homes for family vacation for the past 12 years and this was one of my favorite stays. Owner very responsive. Property and house are beautiful and the bedrooms are charming, comfortable and quiet. The air conditioning was good even on the 2nd floor. Pool very nice, but wish the door that allows direct access was working. Family dog was so sweet, but she does roam the property so going around and getting in and out of the pool gate was a bit worrisome until we got to know her. We traveled with 11. The kitchen was adequately stocked, but might call ahead if you’re cooking for a larger group. I rated this house a 4/5 because all the hardbacks chairs are uncomfortable and not very sturdy. Same for the outside furniture in the fireplace section. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

90th B-day Celebration

This property is exactly what we were looking for to host a special family gathering in San Antonio. The charm and uniqueness of the historic house is so much better than staying in hotel rooms and having the event in a conference center. The free range chickens, cows and especially Daisy and Gus (friendly cow dogs on property) made it feel warm and welcoming and especially fun for the kids. Also, the 1925 thrasher out in the pasture made my dad smile as it was much like what he remembered working with as a young boy on the farm.

Family Reunion

Our family had a wonderful reunion at Cardinal Pointe Ranch. The 100 year old ranch house is beautiful and is filled with antiques and collectibles. It was very comfortable except for an issue with the upstairs A/C. However, this was fixed as quickly as possible. The property is beautiful, and we enjoyed it very much. The owners were responsive to questions and comments. Although the ranch is close to the city, it felt like we were out it the country. Lovely place! Thank you, Walter!

A bit of Texas history

The pool was refreshing with the temperatures and heat index so high. The upstairs air conditioner went out the first night and we emailed Walter at 11 pm and he had it working by 12:45 am. Enjoyed the queit country setting complete with ducks, dog, cat, and a few deer.

Perfect for our family of 8 adults, 2 kids under 8 years

We enjoyed our stay! I love old houses and this one was so fun to stay in a few days. Everyone enjoyed the pool that we stayed in too long and several of us were sun burned. Daisy the ranch dog is so sweet. She would hang around when we sat outside. She is a true country dog. My little pom actually chased the chickens. They were bigger than she is!!! If you stay here, you must remember it is a 1906 house and a working ranch. That’s what makes it so unique! We had a great time! You can also drive into Castroville for great BBQ at Blu Lacey BBQ. Phenomenal is all I can say about their food!!

Great property for large gatherings! Walter was an excellent host who did not bother us yet responded very quickly to any issues. We rented the entire property (main home 3 separate cottages) to accommodate 3 generations and had no issues. Other reviews mentioned random people entering the property; however, that was not the case for us. We had the property to ourselves.This is a very beautiful 1906 property so it has character and some wear and tear; however, it is clean. If you're expecting a modern home, please look elsewhere. It's on a large plot of land with ranch animals so expect to hear the rooster every morning. The kids loved running around with the chickens, petting Daisy (friendly dog), seeing armadillos at night and swimming in the pool. As it's on a ranch, expect flies, bees and an occasional scorpion; yes, it can be a nuisance but it didn't spoil our weekend. The main house has a large kitchen, 2 large eating areas and a large living area with 2 large sofas. The bedrooms are well-sized for 2 adults and kids slept on the sofas, thick mats (in the closets) or air mattresses. The cottages are very well organized and have bathrooms and a/c units; they are steps away from the main house and provide privacy for those who want to escape chaos from the main house. One cottage has a half-bath but it's connected to another cottage which has a full bath. Laundry access available up on request. Thank you again to Walter for a great stay!

Nice, but not as hoped for.

The house is old, over 100 years old, but in decent shape. It does lean in some areas. The house was not in very clean condition. Lot's of insects and the pool was swarming with bee's while the kids were trying to swim. One kid was stung on the first day. We didn't realize there would be other animals, dogs, cat, and chickens on the property as we brought our two small dogs with us. This wasn't an issue, just not sure of what to expect with the unexpected encounters. The family living on the property and the workers were nice. The rooms were comfortable. While there was a washer and dryer, it is not located within the house.

Lack of Privacy

This was the second time we stayed at a ranch in San Antonio and was excited that it was a historical home. We were disappointed in the lack of privacy we had there. The listing was misleading when it read it was a working ranch and people would be around the area. People are coming in and out of the house we were residing at with no notice to us. We anticipated the kitchen to be fully stocked to cook for at least 10-12 people. The kitchen had very minimal cooking supplies. The living area and kitchen had carpet which was very filthy due to the amount of traffic use it had in the past. The only good part of the stay was the rooms were magnificent! Each from was decorated and was very comfortable. So if you just need a place to lay your head this is it but if you are looking for a peaceful getaway, this might not be the place for you.
