Beautiful House in Ideal Setting

This house has been well kept, very clean, and well stocked with essentials of both ingredients as well as dishes and cooking utensils. The back porch is welcoming and overlooks pastureland where you can usually see deer in the morning and evening, and watch birds anytime. Absolutely everything we needed could be found here. We loved our stay at this house so much the first time we visited that we didn't hesitate to come back to it.

Fabulous Eclipse Week in the Texas hill country

This lovely Texas farmhouse was perfect for our family to gather for a week around the solar eclipse. There was plenty of room to spread out and we had some lovely times rocking on the back porch, playing horseshoes and enjoying the rural views. Everything about the home was perfect, We are already talking about another visit there.

Childhood friends had a great visit. We cooked , shopped. We get together once a year.

The best equipped kitchen we all agreed. Beautiful house and loved all the seating choices on porch. Plenty of parking ( we had 5 cars). Quiet hill country site . We enjoyed watching the deer. Loved that it was close to Boerne, but away from people and traffic.

Always a relaxing time

This is the best property! This was the perfect get-away for our family. The house was clean, comfortable, and has the best view. We enjoyed the huge porch while watching the view and deer. We fell in love with the sweet outside cat. The owners are very kind and responsive. We will definitely be back!

Family Weekend Getaway

Our family had a wonderful weekend getaway at this beautifully decorated countryside rental home. The house was thoughtfully furnished and came equipped with plenty of amenities, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. One of our favorite features was the wrap-around back porch—it was the perfect spot to sip morning coffee while soaking in the peaceful surroundings and watching the abundant wildlife. The tranquility of the countryside truly made for a refreshing escape. To top it all off, communication with the hostess was excellent—responsive, helpful, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Incredible experience

This home is absolutely magical. The sun rises over a large field, which you can view from the nearly wrap around porch (with ample rocking chairs).Deers and birds are plentiful and feed right in front of you! It's so cool!Ann and Scott were not only warm and welcoming, but generous. Their home is spacious, tidy, and well stocked for larger groups to be able to cook and enjoy the home.I hope to return regularly!!

Comfortable setting for besties

Ann was extremely accommodating and available although we never need to contact her. The home is very nice, clean, and comfortable. It is in a setting that gives you peace from the noise of city life and hustle and bustle. Convenient location. We drove to San Antonio one day, drove to Fredericksburg another day, and decided the routes off the highways was very refreshing. The countryside is beautiful.

Wonderful! Comfortable! Beautiful Hill Country Home

This house was perfect. Everything was provided and in working order. The location is convenient to downtown Boerne (about 10 minutes away) and to I-10. Beautiful views of ranch land and the wildflowers of spring. Beds were comfortable, living spaces roomy yet cozy. It even came with a set of two cats! Supposedly they are working feral cats, but they were both affectionate and loving! We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this house to everyone.

Fabulous Property

This house is so comfortable and inviting! Very well-appointed in every way. The owner is very responsive. Highly recommend this property.The only (tiny) downside was the outside cats. They are very annoying, jump in your lap, etc. But, we finally got a spray bottle of water and that did the trick in keeping them away so we could sit out and enjoy the beautiful scenery and deer that came right up to the house!

Our favorite Texas house

This is a beautiful, relaxing, comfortable and roomie house. This is our second visit to this property in several years and it is nearly perfect. Suggestions: There is an almost imperceivable "semi" step up from the kitchen to the bedrooms which is almost impossible to see because of the dark wood and could cause an unsuspecting person to trip. Maybe add something colorful to draw attention to the unevenness of the "grade;" another is the locks on the back doors; they are stubborn and the side door to the outside table requires a person to go out the back door to unlock it from the outside with the house key. Some graphite would probably fix the problem. A new skillet in the kitchen would be nice. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to lay back and relax for a long weekend. We spent hours in rocking chairs, playing games and dining on this covered porch which is a highlight of this house. I would go back in a heartbeat!
