An awesome ranch in the Texas Hill Country.

We rented both houses,Oaks Ranch and Haven House. We had people from both sides of our family for a reunion and viewing the eclipse. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on eclipse day, but we enjoyed being together. Both houses were clean and spacious. They had everything that we needed. The kids really enjoyed the carrots to feed the donkeys. Also, making s'mores. The grounds were beautiful! We enjoyed watching the donkeys, cats, ducks and turtles. The fountain in the pond made sitting in one of the swings even more peaceful. If we're ever back in the area, we'd love to stay again!

Dec. 1 - 2 Stay

This property was very nice, very clean and had beautiful surroundings. We rented the house because my nephew was getting married at the wedding venue just down the road. It was very convenient to leave the wedding and travel a 100 yards back to our accomodations. If I could a couple of comments, we thought the towels could use some upgrading and the kerug plugged up while we were there. All in all, though, a great experience.

Home sweet home

We stayed at this property from a Wednesday-Saturday. The house was clean and just as pictured. Beautiful deck, cute ducks and a pond out back for fishing. There are donkeys on the property that are very friendly and love carrots. Unfortunately the weather was dreadful: cloudy, rainy, chilly which made for a muddy yard.

Incredible Stay

Paula and Joe were very communicative. The property and house are laid out great for a group with all ages. The donkeys roaming the property are a bonus for the kids. Separate fenced area for the dogs too. We will be back on our next hill country getaway.

Beautiful, serene property

Very comfortable house, built for vacationing. The hosts thought of everything. Beautiful country setting with the most adorable miniature donkeys running around begging for carrots- which the host left in the refrigerator for us! My husband fished for hours at the backyard pond, caught bass and bluegill. Great place, I was sad to leave. If you are not familiar with the hill country roads, please be very careful when driving at night. It is the country! Super dark at night. Overall a great vacation choice!

The Nature Preserve

Our stay was wonderful and surrounded by donkeys, horses, birds, rabbits, and deer. Our kids fished and fed the animals daily. The home is new and clean with numerous amenities. Communication with the owners was easy. The location is just outside the SA metro so it feels like a resort and your stay will not be interrupted by the busyness of the metro.
