Feels like home

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and again we were sad to leave. It literally feels like home (but with a better climate!) There is not a bad comment to be made, everything from cleanliness to hospitality, it has it all. I highly highly recommend!!

Wonderful property and friendliest host!

Bill was an amazing host! There was a slight hiccup in communication the day of arrival but nothing that wasn't quickly remedied. He also was quick to let us know that we had left something vitally important at the house and made it simple for us to retrieve it. My only complaint is that we didn't have longer or better weather to enjoy the stay! We all loved petting the animals but it was too cold for me! We will definitely stay again.

Peaceful weekend retreat with friends

We had such a beautiful weekend. Bill was one of the best hosts I have had with a booking like this. He was so friendly and welcoming. We felt right at home. The property itself is wonderful and relaxing. We spent our nights on the porch listening to the wind chimes, chatting, and playing cards. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. The animals were a huge plus. Now I can say I have seen a peacock!

More fun than we imagined, just the best!

Our small group of friends meets each year at a different VRBO location, usually in Texas. Our stay at Country Chimes was by far our favorite rental out of 15 years of meet ups. The website photos really don’t do it justice. The property owner was a fantastic host and so personable and attentive but also careful not to be intrusive. Communication was great, house amenities were very comfortable and the ambiance of having his ranch livestock including chickens, peacocks, retired race horses and Texas longhorns as well as his two sweet dogs all available and in close proximity to the house was an unforgettable experience. The area around the town of Florence was quaint and serene and included picturesque vineyards and wide open land for cattle ranches. Kudos to Bill for being such a creative and respectful host and allowing us to hang out on his property to enjoy a peaceful and memorable retreat.

Granddaughter's Birthday

The location of this property was great for us and we enjoyed being out of the city and away from the traffic. The outdoor spaces are so inviting and even in the central Texas heat, the oak trees were lovely shade. Would recommend!

We stayed the night for a wedding at the vineyard. Perfect, convenient location. My 1 year old daughter had so much fun walking around looking at the peacocks and horses. The house was cozy but plenty of space for my family and dog.

Perfectly Peaceful

What an amazing experience staying here! No detail left behind, to include stocked kitchen, indoor doggie bed, and farm fresh eggs provided! Bill is a genuine guy and amazing host. The menagerie of animals, on the property, was incredible and made for a bonus experience. Wonderful place to stay!

Taste of Texas

Looking for a taste of Texas? Stop looking and book here NOW! All the space and amenities you could ask for. Great communication with Bill the host started before we even arrived. Pull up and watch your jaw drop. REAL Texas Longhorns, beautiful horses, gorgeous peacocks, free range chickens and a friendly lil cat with a meow you could probably hear from the road, to begin a great stay. The interior of the home was welcoming with it's decor and provided a comfortable stay. There is so much to offer with the property, we wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it all. Quick access from the Highway and close to town for any goods you may need. Bill was overly gracious with our entire group. I highly recommend booking this property. I just hope it won't be at the same time as us because WE WILL be back!! Thank you again Bill for everything.

Awesome stay!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Bill’s property! We were in town for a wedding at the vineyard. House was clean and nicely decorated! All amenities were provided! Plenty of linens provided too! The farm animals were the special added touch we didn’t know we needed! We will have to come back again as we didn’t spend enough time enjoying it! Thanks Bill!

“Country Chime” was charming

Our stay at country chime was amazing! We loved being out of the “big city” and we really enjoyed being on the ranch with the beautiful views, Longhorn steer, peacocks and chickens. It was a Texas stay like no other. Our host and ranch hand were so nice and accommodating, giving us farm fresh eggs and helping us set up the fire pit in the evening. The near by winery and restaurant were an added special treat. It was exactly what we were hoping for on our first trip to Texas!

Texas Ranch Experience

We only wish we had planned a longer stay to really experience the authentic ranch life at this homestead! It was very well stocked with all possible needs met. As welcoming as the host was, the best part was the opportunity to interact with his horses, dogs, cats, peacocks, and photograph the long-horned cattle. Already looking forward to another stay in the future!

We literally couldn’t ask for more. Was just like walking into our own home. We arrived super late at night because of flights and Bill had the home all lit up for us. The animals were absolutely amazing. My kiddos loved it as well. The best part….the showers!! Holy moly! Best VRBO we have ever stayed in. We will be back next fall!

Awesome Experience

We came for a wedding and selected this home because we needed accommodations that were dog friendly. We were not prepared to just fall in love with this place! The owner, Bill,is amazing and friendly and also ready to assist with anything you need. The animals were wonderful to interact with or look at. The view is spectacular. The home was so comfortable and a great escape from the heat. We really enjoyed everything about this place.

Wonderful Time

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back. Bill was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed and then some. Even the fresh eggs he had for us were delicious. We loved interacting and feeding the animals. Very spacious house and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck looking at the scenery and playing games. Very comfortable beds and great showers.
