This is a gorgeous home and perfect for a secluded, fun-filled family get-away. We ate, drank, and swam all weekend and enjoyed the many luxury touches the home provides. The casitas were a perfect set up for our 9 month old twins as well... making it easy to let them nap while we were in the pool, and for mom and dad to sleep at night as well. We loved the kitchen and souring ceilings throughout! And I should add that the owners were able to accommodate our very last minute request to extend our stay for an extra day. It was too perfect... we didn't want to leave so soon! Needless to say, we will be back. Thank you, thank you! We would highly recommend this home to anyone. We even live just 20 minutes away and we can't wait to come back. :)

My wife and I stayed at the property over a long weekend for our 1 year anniversary recently and had a delightful time. When we arrived the owners graciously welcomed us with an ice cold pitcher of citrus infused water and glasses. We were given a thorough tour of how to work the homes many accoutrements and then we were left to our selves for 3 glorious days of peace and harmony! The rustic architecture & decor of the home is incredible and fits perfectly into the Texas hill country setting. It was very comfortable with every amenity anyone could ever need. Great kitchen, bathrooms, & living areas, full home audio system, and more. The pool was INCREDIBLE. The days were wonderful watching all of the nature - quirky barn swallows, humming birds, road runners & deer roaming the property. Hanging around the pool, and enjoying the beautiful hill country views was good for the soul, and just wait until you see the stars at night. I cannot more highly recommend plan on returning again soon.

I came here a while back this past New Years. Normally I'm in a big city for New Years, so at first I was not sure what to expect as I was going to be in the country for the first time on the big day. Once I got there however, I knew I had made the right choice! The view was spectacular; my friends and I highly enjoyed lounging around in the beautiful hot-tub which overlooks the Hill Country. Nothing quite like relaxing by the pool and seeing an amazing view all around you. Definitely a great place to escape from the city, but still surprisingly a place of great fun and relaxation! I loved it so much that I came back with my family for Memorial Day and had a blast. This time I traveled around the small towns nearby and found a ton of surprisingly cute and trendy stores selling everything from art to clothing. It was a lot of fun for the kids too, they loved the small town and the serenity of the ranch itself! I particularly liked how there was a separate play room for kids upstairs with all the high-tech things kids now-a-days like, such as a Wii; my little cousins had a blast in their own little "hide out." I cannot wait for my next trip here (which fortunately is coming up soon!); I highly recommend it! If you are looking for a good time with friends or family, this is definitely the place to go. I also greatly enjoyed having the owners give me a tour prior to my stay here, it was most helpful.I am so glad I found this website so I can recommend this mansion style ranch to others!

Alexandria Ranch is a wonderful place to stay when visiting the hill country. The home is so elegant and relaxing. The pool is absolutely fabulous, with a depth of 12 feet and a diving board. Our entire group had a great time. We hired chef George to cook us supper on Saturday night; you can't go wrong here. George is an excellent chef; that graciously prepared everything we asked for in a classy four course meal. His Chilean sea bass, and the creamy koos koos was to die for. You are sure to have a good time at Alexandria.

Our company held our 2011 mid-year retreat on this beautiful ranch right outside Sisterdale Texas. The property, just between Fredericksburg and Boerne, sits on 80 acres and is absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a beautiful getaway in the Texas Hill Country, this is it. The kitchen is perfect for a group that's looking to entertain/loves spending time in the kitchen. The Wolf range, multiple oven set-up, and huge island made providing food for a group of 14 as easy as pie. Some of the group ran in the mornings - great hills that will challenge an advanced runner. I took advantage of the lap-lane in the sparkling pool. Awesome. The casitas allow for privacy, making this ranch perfect for multiple family getaways (or a place to stick the kids while the adults catch up). I can't wait for our next visit!

The property exceeded expectations! It was a lovely and relaxing weekend in the hill country. The views and the pool were breathtaking. The house and the grounds are stunning, and we would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. If anyone is looking to rent for family reunion this would be an ideal place. The owners were very gracious and accommodating.

My wife and I more than enjoyed you oasis in the sky. We will be going back at some point in the future for more R&R!
Owner response:I'm really glad we were able to accommodate your "last minute" but doubtless much needed R&R from Houston. Come back any time!

Our trip was absolutely perfect from start to finish and we could not have found a better place to enjoy a weekend getaway! Mark was so organized and offered us information about the area, which was very helpful. I have used VRBO many times and this was the easiest trip I have ever planned thanks to Mark. The house is absolutely gorgeous, we loved the game room/tv room, the screened in patio, the kitchen was large enough for all ten of us to pitch in with meals and not be cramped, it was just a great place to get together with a group. Each room had its own bathroom, which was nice since we had 5 couples. We were actually bummed that we had made plans to go on wine tours because we truly did not want to leave the house. The views during the day are amazing, it is so peaceful and pretty. The pool and the property in general are so well kept. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. It is perfect for everyone occasion, I cant wait to return.
Owner response:I completely agree with you about not wanting to leave the house or grounds! The property is so desireable and the house has so many wonderful amenities that you really and truly do not need or want to go anywhere else. It is a destination; period! Thank you very much for your kind words. You were perfect guests and we really appreciate sharing our home with wonderful people like you! Please do come again!!

I was looking for a new venue for a semi-annual planning retreat for my business. We usually go to the Caribbean or southern California but when I found this ranch estate in the Texas hill country, I decided to give it a try. Wow! The setting is absolutely spectacular, the house is the epitome of tasteful, modern luxury – impeccably furnished, and our stay was so relaxing that we just did not want to leave. We took advantage of the opportunity to use the owners’ chef. The presentation, selection and freshness of the menu was on a par with the 4 and 5 star restaurants of New York. One dinner featured fresh venison from the property; another fresh sea bass flown in. The chef is entirely affordable and I cannot imagine why you would not want to hire him when coming to this unbelievable gem of a private resort.
Owner response:Our chef can do cooking-themed events, too!

I took my children to the ranch for a three-day esape over Spring Break. It is very remote and beautiful, resulting in a peaceful and relaxing environment. And, once you arrive, you don't have to leave! You have everything you need there for the whole family. The views are amazing, the house is gorgeous and Sandy and Mark were very accomodating. I highly recommend this property, and hope to get back out there soon!
Owner response:We are so glad to have had you visit our ranch! Thank you!
