Spring break In Texas Hills

This home was a perfect get-away for us over spring break. WE LOVED our time away. Being close enough to enjoy the Riverwalk of downtown San Antonio but also loved visiting the natural caverns. The house had all the comforts we needed, a place to savor family time together. THANK YOU! The house was perfect for us.

Peace & Quiet

This place has SO much to offer. We were in town for a basketball tournament and this house had everything for the much needed relaxation that isn’t available at a hotel. The smell of a freshly cleaned house immediately hit us when we walked in. Next we found a sweet welcome note and pastries. The house was stocked with all the necessities needed for our stay. It was a quick drive into town for a bite to eat. If we make it back to San Antonio we will definitely be back. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!!

Great Place to Stay Near San Antonio, Excellent Property Owner

I had an incredible stay at this beautiful home! Nestled in a peaceful, country-like setting yet close to all the amenities and attractions of San Antonio, this home is the perfect blend of serenity and convenience. It’s well-suited for a family or small group, with plenty of space—three comfy bedrooms, including a luxurious king bed in the master suite, and two modern bathrooms.The living area is spacious, and the kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals. The outdoor space, including a deck and porch, was fantastic for relaxing in the evenings.We were also a reasonable drive to attractions like the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, Natural Bridge Caverns, and The DoSeum, a must-visit for families with kids. It’s an amazing children’s museum, filled with interactive exhibits that our kids absolutely loved!Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, offering both comfort and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to the excitement of San Antonio!

Best stay ever!

There is a reason why the reviews on this rental are so high...it is the thoughtfulness of the owner! We were so excited to return to this refuge after a long day of exploring the area. We were amazed at all the little things (and big things) done to make our stay incredibly pleasant. And it's location right between San Antonio and Austin was perfect! Lots to see in the Hill Country, too.

Just Like Home

All the little extras added up to one big pleasant stay. There are too many to list but it felt like home in a different neighborhood! We had an unexpected car issue and the owner jumped into action to help when he was under no obligation to do so. It was much appreciated! As a side note, the decor was inspirational which I’m sure was the reason for my 1st place age division win just down the road at Natural Bridge Caverns! Thanks again from my family to yours.

Quiet neighborhood and well-stocked, clean house

My husband and I stayed only one night with our pups, but, we wished we had more time! The house was inviting and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. We loved the porches; just perfect to chill with a cup of coffee. We will definitely stay here again.

Best Vrbo We’ve Ever Experienced!

We visited San Antonio to attend a conference, and it was also an opportunity to connect with family and dear friends who live in Texas. The layout of the house was perfect for us. We loved the large master suite. The king bed was quite comfortable. Well-stocked kitchen, clean home, ample games and puzzles, clear communication - these were all things we appreciated about this home and the hosts.

Quiet and relaxing

My husband and I came to Texas to explore San Antonio - we had a wonderful stay at The Archers home it was peaceful and relaxing to come back to each day after our adventures. The home had everything we needed to make meals and we loved the snacks and muffins and personalized note we got upon arrival. We arrived after dark and the porch light and a few others were left on which was very helpful and welcoming. The neighborhood is very quiet and we got great sleep and enjoyed sitting on the back patio. Thanks for a great stay!

Review

The hosts really made the process easy. Directions were great. Check in was super easy. The wifi didn't work but we weren't there that often, so we didn't bother to ask the host to fix it. The place was clean but the walls and windows could use a good cleaning and maybe a coat of paint on some of the interior walls - especially in the master bedroom and bathroom. Otherwise, it was really clean and the hosts went above and beyond to make our stay very comfortable.

We stayed for an Aggie Ring Dunk celebration since it was close by. The house was clean and the snacks on the counter were a nice touch. My wife got a great picture of the longhorn out back. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

This was a fantastic stay. Everything it was said to be. Inviting and comfortable. Relaxing with wonderful inside and out open space. Felt very safe yet was accessible. We were traveling with an 12’ enclosed trailer and parking was not a problem. Hosts were great to work with! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
