You will be staying in a 100 year old ranch house. It has been renovated with all the comforts of home. The ranch house sleeps 5 comfortably. The house has imperfections, but this is part of the charm. The shower is small, but does the job. An RV on the hill just above the ranch house can accommodate 5 additional guests, and has a shower as well. If you enjoy the outdoors, you are in for a treat. Remember, this is a rustic home on a ranch, you're not in a big city. Bird watchers will find this place to be a SEASONAL paradise !

There are old barb wire fences, rusty nails, spiders, scorpions, occasional snakes, porcupine, mice, coyote, raccoon, bobcat, skunk, hogs, wild turkey, deer and other indigenous wildlife on the ranch. This is typical of any land in the country. It’s possible that you will see some of these animals, they do exist on the property. There are times of the year when the creek is not running, and the pond is low. Apologies, but the weather cannot be controlled. Additionally, THIS IS NOT A SWIMMING PROPERTY. It's a place of relaxation, tranquility, and being with nature.

Christmas getaway.

Beautiful area, saw deer every day we were there, which was delightful for us as we are from the Central Valley of California. Accommodations were very nice. Had a few problems because of the cold weather, but David took care of them or told us how too. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice getaway ranch property

Very nice little house on a beautiful property. house had everything you need. David was very attentive to any questions we had and also helped in any situation we had. Rv was a nice bonus we didn't use but we checked out and would be great for larger groups. 3 cameras at the front patio area feel a bit strange like your being watched but hopefully just for security when they dont have renters and not in use while there, just saw light turn on and off when we would go out there. location In the woods so There is wildlife as expected some beautiful and some dangerous but exactly what we expected. would rent again thank you!

Peaceful atmosphere

We had a very quiet and peaceful stay at the ranch house, back to nature is what I crave. David was a good host and took my husband and two kids on a tour of the property while I rested after our trip. The house is older, but very clean and comfortable. The beds are so cozy and comfortable, which is what I look forward to most. We spotted some deer while we were there which was exciting and we walked around the property for a while, although the rocky and hilly terrain can be challenging. Our stay of a few days was reenergizing. I wish we could've stayed longer.

Wonderful Family Time

First, out host was wonderful to greet us and give us a tour. The three kids in our famikyngroup were excited to have such a wide open adventure waiting for them. Our host showed us the pond and well that we would want to keep a close eye on with the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the ranch and hope to return because we just barely scratched the surface. The house is charming. Our group of seven ate our dinner outside each evening and sat around the fire every night. There are fancy TVs in abundance, and even an 80s style video console the kids and adults enjoyed, but the best moments were spent together outside. The linens and towels are the good kind and the kitchen is well stocked including a Keurig and toaster/air fryer and microwave. Absolutely country chic with special touches everywhere. We have stayed in quite a few vacation rentals over the years. This was the closest to feeling like you are staying in your friend's home. You want to take care of the place, not just because it is the right thing to do, but it belongs to your friend and you plan to return. We loved the ranch and the house and hope to return.

About the host

Hosted by David

Hi !, I'm David.
Thank you for considering my property. This ranch is my baby. It took me a long time, and a lot of hard work, to get it ready for guests. My friends and family love this place. The pictures definitely do not do it justice. I'm extremely excited to host new friends, and share this beautiful place, with people who will appreciate it.

Why they chose this property

When renting this property, you will come away with a sense of peace that only the ocean can give you. The quiet is deafening, and the tranquility is astounding.... Friends and family always comment, that they don't want to leave, once they get there.

What makes this property unique

The land was once inhabited by Indians. One can find arrow heads, down by the creek, if you look hard enough. If you find one, it will give you a sense of the history of the land. There is a 100 year old hand dug, 18 foot deep, water well on the property. It's astonishing how whoever dug it, was able to make it so round and symmetrical. If you simply want to stay on the ranch and relax, that's great ! If you want to explore the many boutiques and shops in old historic downtown Boerne, you will not be disappointed.
There are many nice restaurants in Boerne. My personal favorite is "Cypress Grill". Check it out... If you are lucky and happen to be at the ranch on certain weekends during the month... There is a flea market held in the town square. Many different vendors bring their products and sell them ..... Things like welded art, clothes, blankets, dog accessories, jellies, knives, food etc.... Everything they sell is brand new, it's not used.
