About this property

Omi's Bed and Breakfast Farm, Vineyard and Pool, Winter Texans welcome always

This was the home of World Class Tri-Athlete Joanita Reed. She lived here for over 50 years, raising her dogs and chickens, and training for her next competition. She started NBJ School of Swimming in 1964, at this location, and passed the business on to her daughter Nancy Rathburn in 2004. Nancy and her husband Greg, have lived on the farm since 1977, Nancy manages NBJ and Greg is the cook at the Bed and Breakfast. Nancy is assisted by her daughter Jessica. We offer many activities throughout the year, many at no additional charge. In April you can bottle your own wine, we need 60 days advance reservation for this activity. There is always work to be done in the vineyard through out the summer, ie canopy management, weed control. We harvest grapes in August which means hand picking and stomping.The time frame for grape harvest changes with the summer weather, so for exact week you need to check ahead. If you are a hunter or have ever wanted to hunt, September through December are your months. We have deer (bow and rifle),, turkey and dove available, all for no additional cost. Nancy and Jessica are available for private swimming/stroke instruction June through August (call for fees}.

Fantastic Family Getaway

We stayed here over a long weekend with the three of us and my parents. Our hosts were so incredibly welcoming and gracious, answering any questions and asking about interests in advance (we were arriving at the start of dove season, for instance). My son loved feeding the chickens and woke up early to help cook some of the fresh eggs! We all enjoyed the pool and the whole house was perfect to recharge and reconnect.

Everything is so amazing

The place is very relaxing. Loved the whole house specially the pool area. Greg and Nancy are best host ever. They welcomed us and gave us a nice tour around the house. My husband had a small cut when he was unloading our stuff. I texted Greg to ask if they have a first aid kit, I was just expecting a reply but they were there in less than a minute to check on us. The day we checked out, my daughter accidentally left her eyeglasses. I didn’t know she left it until I got a text from Greg about the eyeglasses. He was so kind to send the eyeglasses to our address. Others may not care enough if you left something behind. But Kudos to Greg and Nancy for going above and beyond

Quiet Girls Weekend

Omi's place was perfect. We were looking for a quiet weekend get away for 3 friends. Close enough to Gruene and San Marcos Outlets for shopping and nice, relaxing pool time as well. Hosts were helpful, friendly, accommodating and great with communication. We would definitely stay here again.

Best farmhouse EVER!!

I can't say enough great things about this property and the hosts. We had a few delays in getting here; arriving around 9 PM. Greg was extremely accommodating and gave us a tour. The house is huge! Two pools, a great indoor (screened in) and outdoor hosting area, big living room and dining room/kitchen, and laundry facilities. Large grill and bluetooth capabilities as well. Greg and Nancy provide farm fresh eggs and all ingredients for smores. Our son even got to collect eggs and bring the chickens into the coop for the night. This is a very unique property experience; you are in the country but also just a few minutes away from shopping and restaurants (and a QuikTrip). Only about 20 minutes away from downtown San Antonio as well. Our only regret was we only got to spend a couple nights instead of a whole week. And also that we didn't get to meet Nancy (swim lessons are very busy this time of year). We can't wait to come stay again!

Cozy home with awesome pool!!!

We have stayed here several times. The owners are super welcoming and nice. They have chickens and they provide some eggs, and you can buy some too. Close to town, but has a nice country feel, and they get air gliders flying around in the mornings and evenings. Definitely recommend and will continue to return!!

Excellent place to stay

Omi's place is in an excellent location 15 miles north of San Antonio extremely convenient to most of the east Texas tourist attractions. The home itself was very well equipped with very comfortable furniture. It is in a rural area. Our host Greg and Nancy couldn't be more accommodating and friendly. This is our second stay, and we found it just as wonderful as our first stay. We will be back again next year!!

Charming farm house!

My husband and I found everything to love about this delightful and history-filled farm house! It's charming, pet friendly, very clean, a cozy bed with the devine bedding and pillows, the shower rates a 10, the pool is gorgeous, farm fresh eggs, and a resident outdoor kitty. It's convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, and tons of Texas fun. And the owners, Greg and Nancy, are so welcoming and truly the best hosts. We'll definitely be back!!

So much fun

Greg and Nancy were so thoughtful and kind. It was a birthday trip for my daughter and we arrived to a large happy birthday banner. They took us to visit their chickens and gathering eggs. The pool was nice and clean; beautifully maintained. It was like staying at a beloved aunt's house. We will definitely go again!

Perfect Hosts, Cozy Stay

Greg and Nancy were incredible hosts. They checked on us before we arrived, met us at the house when we arrived, checked on us throughout our stay, offered suggestions on where to eat and things to do, and checked on us after we departed. The home has been in the family for decades and well-maintained. It was cozy and convenient to everything we wanted or needed to do in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area. The pool was nice, clean, and inviting. The screened porch overlooking the pool offered a cool retreat from the summer heat. We would not hesitate to stay at Omi’s Place again.

Great getaway from it all!

Greg and Nancy were so welcoming and hospitable. This property is outside of town and is a little rustic with all of the modern conveniences. It was so cozy and the decor reminded me of the comfort of my grandmothers’ homes. Greg keeps the pool immaculate and it was nice to just be able to relax. While this was a getaway for me and my husband, a family would also be very comfortable here. There is plenty to do. We also appreciated the dog friendliness and being able to bring our dogs. They had never seen chickens before and were fascinated by them. If you want to decompress with low stress, this is a great option!

Nothing but great things to say about our stay. Hosts were attentive but not overbearing. Beautiful property, home, pool and close enough to SA and NB to be convenient but far enough out to have true peace and privacy. We will return and hopefully stay longer.

Somewhat disappointed

The check in was easy as Greg and Nancy were there to walk us through the home. The pool and screened in area were nice! However, the cleanliness of this property was alarming. Most of the dishes/utensils had old food stuck to them. The only thing we used were the pans (but had to scrub them); otherwise we used paper products that we bought. The toilet was filthy. It was hard to relax at times because it was so dirty. And i felt i wanted to clean. Which i did do some of but it was not comfortable there for this reason. We spent a lot of time outside. My son did enjoy feeding the chickens. If we come back to the area we will not stay here again.

Little Oasis For Family of Four

Greg and Nancy are amazing hosts! Super accommodating, very welcoming and extremely thoughtful. Their place has everything a family of four traveling with two children under three years old could ever need. Pack n play, high chair, and stroller made traveling to the destination much lighter. Spent most of our time in the children’s pool which was a perfect height for our 2.5 year old. She loved the freedom of walking et swimming in the pool. She enjoyed the countless toys to play with, feeding chickens, et we even found a book which saved bedtime (forgot to pack ours) because we always read a few books before bed. 30 minutes to San Antonio et 10 minute drive to the Natural Bridge Caverns which were the highlight of our trip. You can have both at Omi’s Place lazy days by the pool et venturing out to experience the many attractions of Texas.
