About this property

Cleaning Fee $100/ Pet fee is $50 per pet/ horse price may differ/ $40 per guest after first 2 guests (not included in base rent)

NEW / IMPORTANT PREFACE: We want to say up front that we take very seriously our responsibility to do everything within our reach to keep everyone as safe and healthy as as we can, while you have a relaxing, health-building and fun time with us!. This includes the following:

First of all is our location: We have 11 cabins / suites for rent which are all private and spaced apart and in middle of 30 acres of fields and woods, so plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without any human contact. Then, all cooking can be done in cabin and/or on grills we provide, so no need to go to any restaurants... Even all our "extra-fun" Animal Adventures and Horseback Riding activities have been modified so they are "private" - just for you, by reservation and conducted outdoors and at "safe-distance"...

Upon each checkout, we ask all guests to cooperate in the safe-stay" procedures, with 3 simple steps: (1) wash their dishes with disinfecting soap we provide, air-dry and put them back in cabinets with doors closed, (2) put linens in plastic bags we provide and, seal and put by the door so we can promptly remove and(3) take all garbage to dumpster . Then we come in with face masks and spray every single surface with organic disinfectant and let the cabin air out while it takes effect, then go in and clean with disinfectant soap, all laundry is separately bagged and separately washed & dried in high heat. After cabins have been all cleaned out, we re-set beds with fresh linens and towels, new trash bags, cleaned / disinfected ac filters and filled up new coffee condiments. A final disinfecting of floors and doors are locked so no one can come in till you get here.

Our location is also ideal: Enjoy beautiful views and serenity in your own 3-bedroom home (and possibility of expansion to a 4th bedroom) in the middle of the woods, overlooking a 30 acre horse ranch. For more pics & info please check our main property: #678194 & read reviews, as the Old Farmhouse is part of the same ranch.
Only 5 minutes from main street Boerne & close to San Antonio, yet it feels like you're a million miles away in this wonderful wooded ranch where great views of beautiful nature, unique art, your favorite music, decks, BBQ pits, smokers & BBQ grills, pick nick areas, fire pits, horseback riding/trail rides and classes (additional discounted fee) & the best darn cooking you ever had (available a-la-carte) converge to create an unforgettable getaway as well as convenient vacation-hub.
Weekday prices start at $150.00 or take the whole house for $350.00/ night (3 rooms, double occupancy/2 per room = 6 plus more can sleep comfortably on roll-aways we can provide and extra bedroom which can open up for 8 or more people).
Choose up to 4 bedrooms, fully furnished w/ BBQ, dishes, cookware, etc

Home Away Ranch

Owner called and said the Vrbo had made a mistake and we did not get the cabin we had reserved on the website and that we were going to have to pay extra if we needed the extra bed. So our group of 11 became party of 7 because the other party could not afford the extra room. Where we were replaced was nice, but we were placed in separate cabins. My nephew is blind & made it difficult for him to join us when we united into one of the bigger house . The house was a trailer house and not the house that was shown on the website. And small things started to add up, there were no instructions on how to control tv and no batteries in the remote in the bedroom. Lamp in the bedroom was broken and had to be unplugged to turn off. And if you stay there, bring your own salt and pepper! There wasn't a trash can in one of the baths and the front door knob kept falling off. Owner was notified, but never responded? The last Vrbo we stayed at had a fridg with water & drinks. We really didn't get that welcomed feeling at this Vrbo. The Ranch was nice, but could be REALLY nice if cleaned up a bit.

This stay was a struggle.

On a business trip. The hosts were very nice, when we had interaction with them during the first two days. Lots of miscommunication. The house we reserved was not available, replacements were offered and we took them. The space was not comparable to what was reserved. There were heating problems, electric breakers flipped by space heaters and by the coffee maker, moved to a different cabin, too much heat, had to buy dish rags and a mop, had a kitchen (with one pot), poor internet connection, lost exotic bird resulted in people wandering around until midnight with flashlights and calling for the bird. We were gone from the property from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm during a week long stay. Wish I could be more positive.

My advice, DON`T DO IT!!

Just please make sure you understand what you are getting, you will be in PART of a house. The part next to you may include lots of yelling and shattering of glasses. It`s not private, it`s near a busy road. The room itself was nice, but there was supposed to be a binder to get internet. It didn`t exist. I was given a bogus internet password of 0123456789. No internet, no phone service, and I`m there alone with my 10 year old daughter who was terrified. We had to sneak out in our pajamas at night and go find a hotel. Vicki offered to remedy the situation but my daughter begged not to go back. This was supposed to be a special trip for her and it became so stressful. Of course no refund. So my advice is know what you are getting before you spend your hard earned money that will never be returned!

The perfect spot for a girls retreat

We were lucky enough to find this nice cottage in The Hill Country in the sourrounded by trees and nature. For a while my friends and I were looking for a secluded place were to stay for a women's retreat and we were so pleased to have found this one. Even though it only has one bathroom, it has 3 nice bedrooms, 2 living areas, a decent kitchen but above all it has an outside Bistro where we were able to talk and drink coffe watching the goats, horses and donkeys roam freely. We will come back again for our next retreat.} Brenda

Unique experience!!

My family and I spent New Years week in this colorful cozy cottage... which was transformed many years ago into a lovely home overlooking the horse pastures on one side nestled in a little canyon with woods on the other side and with our own private "Bistro" (French outdoor cafe restaurant) complete with little wrought iron little round tables and chairs in different shades of lilac and purple with a beautiful view and the horses come right up to the windows to say hi - it was a real unique experience which we will never forget; the smell of pancakes cooking in the old timy kitchen, the kids laughing and playing with the baby goats Marie Jane our littlest riding Bella the pony, sunset horseback riding and then all gathered around a bon fire roasting marshmallows and telling scary stories... I could go on and on at the wonderful time these great folks at this funky ranch helped us have. But you just have to find out for yourself, all you need is to pack a good sense of adventure, swim suite and a pair of jeans, talk to Micky and Vicky and they can help you plan a perfect vacation like they helped us, we can’t wait to go back!!

Most Memorable Valentine Weekend!

Five minutes east of Boerne, TX, nestled in the hill country, our 30 Acre Ranch B&B getaway. At first my wife and I did not know what to make of the property as it was a little rough around the edges, with restoration / remodeling, and a little TLC being needed here and there, still we were away from the hustle and bustle of the big city of Houston. Once we settled in, we finally met with our main host “Vicky”, and what was to be a heart welcoming reception, which exceeded our expectations as she continued to woo us throughout our stay, as did her husband Mickey and father in law Abel. Note: thank you Vicky for working up the surprise I requested upon our arrival for my wife (Yellow Roses and Chocolate covered Strawberries). We settled into our cottage, which was quaint and cozy; just what my wife and I needed, some alone time. Upon our daily awakening, we walked the beautiful property, feeding their horses, goats, and donkeys as they warmed up to us. This was only to be followed up by an amazing breakfast; freshly made pastry and a Texas size country breakfast (food just kept on coming). The meals and presentation was amazing (Vicky is a Chef from Cordon Blue in France), which was complemented by their continued hospitality and attention to detail (Note: my wife and I hold genuine hospitality to the highest standards, which they exceeded). We then transferred to the barn house for our final 2 nights (remodeled to be the addition to their existing properties on the ranch, which included a newly added bistro). Again, their hospitality continued to supersede our expectation by the attention to catering provided by this most welcoming family. To top things off, our host also prepared and cooked for us on Valentines evening (4 course meal: seafood for my wife and beef & pork for me; dinner under the stars). The setting and the food was most excellent – food just kept coming and our stomachs got bigger as we faded into the night. Overall it will be hard to outdo the amount of attention given by this family and their B&B. Thank you Vicky, Mickey, and Abel for making this our most memorable valentine’s day to date. PS. Thank you Abel for serenading us over our last day of breakfast and guitar lessons you shared with me.

Not overly Impressed

Booking, went well, spoke to Vicky about all accommodations prior to visit. Since there were 3 of us, she said there was some sort of loft that our daughter could sleep in and we would still have plenty of room. Then day before leaving, I get a call, Vicky is saying that there was a double booking and says that they will upgrade us to the Honeymoon Suite, no charge. Arriving, was ok, we were tired from driving 7+hrs. We were met by Micky, who walked us around showing us the rest of the property. We never saw Vicky once during our stay, which is fine but that is the only person i spoke to prior to arriving. No key to the room was ever given to us (didnt bother us too much, just felt weird that it wasnt even asked if we would like one.) The property was nice, wilderness, animals around all over property, goats, horses, donkeys, dog. My husband loved waking up the hill and watching all the deer. The suite was not all it was talked up to be. It was a room, bathroom, and shared kitchen with the neighbor room, which happened to have someone living there. They had brought in another bed for my daughter, which made the room too small. The biggest thing talked up in the suite was the jetted bathtub. Well when we went to take a bath from a long day of vaca fun. It was not relaxing at all ... the water smelt terrible, like rotten eggs, i know it was just cause of it being well/septic but holy cannoli it stunk to high heaven! Morning came, the neighbor had coffee made, felt bad drinking her coffee but we needed our coffee so we did, and made more. She poured it out! The neighbors dog woke us up 2 mornings. After long days we were going to bed around 10p and other guest were up on deck visiting loudly. This being the first time using VRBO, I was not Impressed. A month after vaca, I had to email and ask about my deposit that was never refunded. It has been refunded now. While there we went to San Antonio, SeaWorld, and drove 3hrs to Padre Island. It was a nice drive to and from each day. One night we stopped in Boerne, TX to have dinner, and the town was having a Movie night on the court house lawn. It was a very nice comfortable night!

Cabin stay

Our hosts both came across as very inviting and accommodating; and, were upgraded to a cabin due to a fortunate cancellation on the part of another guest. While unable to have a chance to try Viky's cooking, we do hope to return and do so the next time around. My girlfriend and I were both very pleased with our stay and sincerely look forward to doing so once more.

Country feel with city amenities nearby

The area is beautiful, the ranch is quaint, and Vicky and Miguel and really friendly. I didn't see the breakfast offered in the description, but I'm really happy I found out about it. We chose to have the omelets and it was amazing. A full five course breakfast with a coffee bar and mimosas! Plan to spend at least an hour eating and make sure you arrive hungry. Vicky is a Cordon Bleu graduate. We originally booked a small cottage apartment, but it was not cleaned according to their own standards so Vicky upgraded us to a larger cabin for the same price. The cabins are really neat and provide nearly everything you could ask for. If it isn't in the cabin Vicky or Miguel will find it for you. If you like the Texas hill country, friendly hosts, and a ranch atmosphere you will like this place.

Wonderful

Miguel and Vicky are exceptional hosts. They are kind and caring and aim to please. As soon as we arrived on the property, Miguel was there to help carry in our bags, and as soon as we got to the front door, Vicky was there with hugs and a warm welcome. We stayed in the main house and it was very nicely decorated, clean and a perfect temperature to walk into from the very hot day. The room itself was a good size with a large, comfortable queen-size bed and closet, with plenty of storage throughout. There was also a large HD TV with a great sound system and Netflix at the push of a button. The property is huge and a lot of fun to roam around on. We did a little exploring and even spent one morning hanging out with the horses and donkeys, petting them and laughing at their funny quirks. The wrap around deck is also a great place to hang out and simply look over the land. The city of Boerne is a short 5 minute drive when you're ready to see the town. The breakfast here is excellent, but you have to come with a huge appetite, because the food keeps coming. We literally spent two hours each morning just eating breakfast, trying all of the wonderful choices Miguel and Vicky had to offer. Overall, this place is a fantastic visit that is made even more special by the owner/hosts, Miguel and Vicky. We will absolutely be back!
