My family truly enjoyed our stay at Casita for our family gathering. It is a beautiful and welcoming home! We were able to have a wonderful Texas Bar-B-Q for ourselves and our Boerne crowd easily with all the indoor and outdoor space and seating. (plus the deer LOVED the leftover fruit!!!) We hope to return again next trip!! Thank you Lise for a fantastic last minute family getaway!

Owner response:Loved having your family. Thanks for the koodoos. Come again soon. LL

I agree with other reviewers that the photos really do not do this property justice. The home is beautifully decorated with great attention given to every detail. The beds were so comfortable and the twin beds were perfect for our girls. The land surrounding the home is amazing and we loved feeding the deer every day. It was so nice to feel like you really were escaping from the world, while still only being a few short miles from town. We were so glad we chose this place for our Sea World trip as opposed to a boring run of the mill river walk hotel. My only regret was that our stay was so brief. We can’t wait to come back for a longer visit. Thanks again Lise!

Owner response:Wow, I'm so glad you had such a good time at my casita. When I got to the house after you left, I did not see any notes from you, and wondered if you had a good time. So glad you did. Please come again, and stay longer. There is so much to do in the Hill Country and Boerne. Lise

From feeding the deer with the kids to relaxing on the deck. Great place to stay. Centrally located to all sorts of things to do. Far enough away from everything to be private. Lise is a pleasure to do business with. The Barbay family. Bayou Paul, Louisiana

We stayed here just for a weekend, but it was absolutely perfect for us. The house had everything we needed and was perfect for three couples. The front porch and the back deck were a definite plus to enjoy the cooler nights and the beds were so comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

Owner response:Wow, I love reading the reviews. I'm glad to know that they found the beds comfortable. I make every effort to insure that my guests are comfortable, and have everything they need, even wifi, and a full-stocked kitchen.

We stayed at this lovely home while attending a wedding at the Marquardt Ranch in June of 2011. It was absolutely breathtaking!! The home was professionally decorated and the kitchen was fit for a gourmet cook! We loved feeding the deer in the morning right off the driveway! You couldn't see a house for miles so we felt like we were in the middle of the woods. We will definately book this home when we go back to Boerne!! You won't go wrong if you stay here!!

Owner response:Return guests are more than welcome, and they already know how special the home is as well as the Hill Country. Come back soon.

Hill Country Charmer

Guest: Jack (Michigan)
Date of Stay: 05/26/11 Review Submitted: 07/19/11

This house worked out perfectly for our family of six adults. The kitchen is very well equipped. We loved having breakfast on the back porch and, even better, dinner on the wonderful front porch. The house is conveniently located to many attractions. Outside temperature was in the high 90's so we really appreciated the well-functioning air conditioning. Lise was very helpful and we would recommend the Hill Country Charmer.

Owner response:The home works well for adults as well as families with children. There are so many things to do in the Texas Hill Country, and I love to share those things with all my guests.

My husband and I along with our Shih Tzu spent two wonderful days at the casita. The house is just as it looks in the pictures--well equipped and well furnished. It's country living at its best. The house is made of beautiful stone with a huge wrap around porch that has many places to sit, take in the peaceful natural hill country beauty, and watch the deer. The back deck has additional seating for dining, relaxing, or just chilling out. The kitchen is well equipped with some staples, plastic bags, foil, etc. There are even a few herbs in a garden and several fruit trees. The owners were very easy to work with and it's obvious they have put a lot of effort into making the casita a very welcoming and comfortable place. We felt very safe and at home and are already planning our next trip!

You look on line through thousands. Find what you want-- Is it really as described ? Clean, comfortable, owners o.k. ? Do you like them, they you. Are they always "there".? We stayed the entire month of Jan. This Home is everything as stated & more. You do not feel like your in a rental. This is home has everything you`d want +.Owners checked in on ocasion, just to check. They`re wonderful people always asked if we had everything etc. We took long walks, neighbors all very friendly. My wife felt at home & safe-- That left me able to go with friends hunting & fishing. Boerne is a great, friendly town & very easy to get to S.A. for city "stuff". This will be our winter "home" for years. What more can I say Perfect--- Book it !

Owner response:Thank you, Carl and Linda for such nice comments. We try to exceed everyone's expectations every time. Ron.

We had a memorable Thanksgiving reunion here. The home is nestled in the Texas hills and lends itself to entertaining inside and outside. The area is beautiful with it's nature and wildlife. There is plenty to see and do. We had a range of ages with us and there was something for everyone. The owners have furnished and decorated la casita as their own and you will feel at home immediately. We will be back.

Owner response:We had become e-mail pals before my Florida friends arrived, and I loved helping filling the frige with holiday goodies for their arrival.

This is a great place to get away and enjoy friends and family. It was very comfortable, and had everything you need from patio with grill to front porch with a swing. We enjoyed feeding the deer and they seemed to be very accustomed to being fed by the house guest.

Owner response:We loved meeting new friends from Tennessee. It looked like a happy family reunion for all.

Out stay (family) in your casita was absolutely fabulous!! Your home is extremely comfortable and inviting. Everything from the beds to the numerous sitting areas couldn't be better. We had a lovely dinner party for 16 around the main table. We had movie night for 8 with room to spare and we enjoyed all the different conversation areas, including the great front porch and swing. In all, it was a great and relaxing time. There's a lot of love here. We'll be back, soon, I hope.

Owner response:I loved having you guys. It was so much fun sharing gifts on both sides of the kitchen island. No one knew beforehand.

The location to town and the charming shops and dining (Boerne) is great. It was an easy drive to the S.A. airport and other hill country sites. This is perfect for a group of gals, a relaxing family vacation or an intimate get-away. You're our favorite hostess by far!

Owner response:All I can say is, "Come again soon and I'll provide the wine". It was great having you. Fun for all of us.

Each year my two sisters, myself, and our husbands meet somewhere in the United States for a family golf tournament. We come from Texas and Florida. This year we picked this wonderful casita in Boerne, TX. What a find! The comfortable, charming home has everything you will need, and what a peaceful setting! It has a porch around three sides, plus a back deck. We sat out in the evening, watching the sunset and then seeing more stars in the sky than you can imagine! The owner was extremely helpful and nice. We will always remember this experience, and hope to get back someday. Thanks Lise!

Owner response:I couldn't ask for a nicer compliment. The care and pride I take in my home is rewarded by compliments such as this.

June 1, 2008 We had such a memorable family vacation. It was so nice to feel at home in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The Casita has all the comforts of home and is central to countless attractions. The star-filled sky and friendly, inquisitive wildlife were the favorites of our children. The deer are absolutely mesmerizing. We are elated to have found this gem. Thank you. Susan

This home was PERFECT. It had anything and everything you might even think about wanting or needing. The location was beautiful. Not far from town, but completely removed from anything urban. Lots of deer. Quiet, peaceful and truly relaxing. Boerne is a great Texas destination. Fun shopping and amazing restaurants all with great hill country flair. I went with five 'old' college friends. There was plenty of space. We hope to come back.

Owner response:I love having girlfriends get together at the casita. They always have such a great time.

June 20, 2008 We certainly had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the Casita. We enjoyed feeding the deer and relaxing in this home surrounded by the beauty of nature. As soon as we arrived, we experienced the spiritual graces that the Casita and surrounding landscape offer. May the Lord's blessing be upon all who visit here. New Friends of the Casita

What a pleasant surprise this country charmer was. The pictures did not do it justice. The house layout was perfect for our family reunion. Such privacy in the Texas Hill Country yet close enough to everything we wanted to see. We even got in a few rounds of golf at a nearby course. What wonderful Texas hospitality we received from our host. Reserved our spot for next year.
