Enjoy a retreat to the Poco Loco Ranch - 250 acres of breathtaking land, nestled in the Texas Hill County on the Guadalupe River. Just 10 minutes from Boerne, the Poco Loco Ranch is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The long meandering banks of the shaded Guadalupe River will entice you to swim, tube, splash, fish, or just enjoy the quiet solitude. For a longer jaunt, float downstream on an inner tube – the public bridge is about an hour away. Hiking, bird watching and diverse wildlife will renew your spirits. Best of all, at the end of the day lie beneath the vast skies and watch nightly shooting stars while swimming in our large new pool and enjoying our hot tub!
The Poco Loco Ranch has a rustic main house, a guest house and a fantastic separate game room. The main house has a large living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, (2 with king size beds, and 1 with two twin size beds) and 1 ½ baths. The living room has 3 sitting areas (including 2 fold-out sofas), a large flat screen t.v., and two tables for dining. The covered front patio has two seating areas, 5 tables with chairs, 3 ceiling fans, and usually a nice breeze. There is an outdoor Grill and a Smoker for BBQ cooking and entertaining.
The guest house has a large bedroom with a sofa area, 2 queen beds, a full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a small dinette.
The huge game room is spectacular. It has a beautiful antique pool table, a 22’ championship Shuffleboard table, a “Whirlwind” Pinball machine, Ping Pong table, air hockey, foos ball tables, and a sitting area with two sofas. All three structures have fireplaces and a second patio is centrally located between the ranch houses.
The Poco Loco Ranch is only ten minutes from the charming antique shops and cafes of Boerne, five minutes from The Cave Without a Name, twenty minutes from Fiesta Texas, and minutes more to Sea world and the famed Riverwalk of San Antonio. To the north, the World War II Nimitz Museum and the wineries and craft shops of Fredricksburg are about 45 minutes away.

Poco Loco - Amazing Place
Guest: Poco Loco
(Washington D.C.)
Date of Stay: 05/05/11
Review Submitted: 12/16/11
I had our wedding reception party on May 05, 2011 for a crowd of approximately 100 people. The weather was hot, but our accommodations were perfect. From the time that I booked the Poco Loco until the time that I checked out the owners were always on top of things and helped with everything. I rented a tent for the dinner, table, chairs, margarita machines, kiddy jump jumps, and porta johns for our party. I was delayed in making it during the scheduled time of arrival for the rented items, so the owner phoned me and explained they would handle the drop off of the items and setup of the tent. I was put at ease with their assistance as I was traveling from Washington D.C. and our stress level for having the party setup was well above average. Communication from the owners and timely completion of having the party items setup as we made our way to the Poco Loco was much more than anticipated. Once we arrived we were greeted and provided new tubes for floating the river and towels for the pool and showers. The Poco Loco was amazing; it’s positioned overlooking the beautiful rolling country hills. The Guadalupe River was approximately half mile trip by country road and trucks in which we all (100 or so of us) made it to float several times. The house setup was perfect; each room had an adequate A/C unit which was needed since the temperatures during the time were just hitting above the 100 degree mark. The kitchen was adequate and was capable of handling the party’s lunch setup and side dishes since we had the main course of bar-b-que catered. The pool constructed in a huge circle with a bench that spans more than 75% around the pool with a jacuzzi above made it the prime meeting place for most of the party as the margarita machine spun next to the guest house. The game room was a perfect key to the party that we didn’t anticipate that kept the kids busy and made the party be spread around the ranch without the overcrowded feeling. I can’t say enough good things about our journey to the area, the owners, and the amount of assistance we had as our party was a success. If you are considering this place for a party or just a weekend getaway in the country then look no further, the Poco Loco is the place. With plenty of parking, 2 houses with a huge party room that has every game, and located in a beautiful area with everything you need for a good time. After the party was over and a success we confirmed that we made the right choice.

the property was breathtaking, clean and peacful. we saw lots of deer, i think white tale and axis. we drove to the back of the property and floated the Guadeloupe river down to the nearest bridge on intertubes at least once each day we were there. The Ranch is a great place for gathering, we went a bunch of friends, but i could see having a family reunion there. the game room was amazing, the pool is brand new. we played bocci ball and Crocket in the yard. we had a blast!

Best Place Ever

The PLR is a fantastic place to bring your family for a vacation. We have 2 young children and they absolutely loved it. The sleep quarters are enormous with plenty of space. The ranch itself has so many things to do. My children really enjoyed the pool by the guesthouse. We also made multiple trips down the guadalupe river there prior while the water was up. The kids love to just roam the ranching searching for the caves. We had the most fantastic BBQ there on Sunday allowing the kids to run around the front yard. Also, my little girl first learned to ride her bike on their great road they have to the entrance that you can block off. We have been out a few times now with friends and just absolutely love it. Kayaking, fishings, cave hunting, BBQ and just swimming at the pool. The PLR is truly a piece of heaven. We will be back every year.

Our entire family (four couples, children and dogs) stayed at the Ranch for a week during the summer and had a marvelous time. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and delivered everything they promised. We had a few issues during the week that were all of our own making, but our hosts immediately solved each one for us. The setting at the Ranch is absolutely gorgeous and the facilities were everything we expected. We particularly enjoyed the swimming pool and the incredible game room. The river is only a very short distance across a pasture from the house and we had a great time floating/tubing. We will definitely return to the Poco Loco Ranch.

I had the pleasure of staying at Poco Loco 2 weekends in a row. After going up to the ranch for a weekend retreat with high school student leaders, I just HAD to see if it was available for a reunion gathering planned for the next weekend. Perfect for small gatherings or large family reunions, Poco Loco was exactly what I had been looking for in my vacation property search. Everything was clean and in order. The rustic charm balanced with updated touches was perfect. The game room was everyone's favorite gathering space and there were plenty of comfortable sleeping spaces for everyone. The river was high, despite the drought, and a fun place to relax in. The on site river access set the property apart from other local rentals. I look forward to booking my next retreat or reunion weekend at Poco Loco! Thank you!

False advertising, multiple problems with the property and broken promises

Women's Retreat, June 23-26, 2011 Here is a listing of the problems that we encountered: 1. A/C in main house (throughout) was not working - the kitchen was a sauna! We complained immediately and was told that help was on the way. This was on Thursday afternoon. It was SATURDAY NIGHT before they finally brought temporary cooling units to the house. 2. roaches in main house master bath 3. blown breaker in main house master bath on last morning 4. natural gas smell in guest house 5. slippery bath tub in guest house 6. no place for daily trash dump 7. poor water presser/clogged shower head in guest house 8. sliding door in guest house increasingly hard to open/close throughout the weekend 9. outside plugs at guest house don't work 10. the main gate was more like a revolving door that never closed - constant traffic and it was never closed between cars. It was a little unnerving for a group of women to be that far removed from town and not have the security of having the gate closed at all times. 11 .Mold in bathtub in the main house. 12. Advertised CAVES were actually just small holes in the ground - inaccessible. 13. River access is more than 1 mile from the main house and almost inaccessible by vehicle b/c of the road conditions. 14. Washer/dryer are OUTSIDE in the garage (100 feet from the main house) and are in serious need of REPLACEMENT! Because of the numerous problems our group encountered, the property manager offered us a FREE return trip - all we had to pay was the cleaning fee. We gladly accepted and determined that October 20-24, 2011 would be perfect. I repeatedly asked for a new contract for the return dates and was told over and over again that it was in the works, but no to worry because we were on the calendar. On October 04, 2011, I received an email from the property manager indicating that we would need to reschedule because her brother-in-law had already promised the ranch to another group. I believe that a PAYING customer took our weekend, and although I understand the concept of making a living, I don't believe that you renig on a deal in the process. We are confident that the property manager will always have a better deal on the table and therefore we'll never see our FREE weekend.

We rented Poco Loco with a group of friends for a week. In total, there were 8 adults and 7 kids under the age of 5. Between the river, pool, horseshoes, washers, shuffle board, evening rides to see the sunset; there was something for everyone. Most of our evenings consisted of sitting underneath the large oak trees with an ice cold beverage listening to music and relaxing after fun filled day. For those that love seeing wild life, there are white tail, axis, turkey and roadrunners everywhere! We look forward to staying at the ranch again.

We recently rented this property for 4 days, and could not have been more pleased! Lana, the owner, was absolutley wonderful and made everything just perfect for us! We had our rehearsal dinner at the ranch, and after it was all said and done, we wished we would have also held the wedding here. The property is beautiful with its large shade trees and charming characteristics. This is the perfect vaction retreat for anyone, a small family weekend getaway to a beautiful hill country wedding. I will most definitely be spending more time at the Poco Loco Ranch!

We recently stayed at Poco Loco and had our youngest son's reahersal dinner there. The grounds are so beautiful,filled with hugh trees, green lush grass and a beautiful ranch house. The home is so roomy and filled with everything you will need for a delightful retreat away from home. The owners are the most wonderful people. I've never had a landlord be so kind to make sure we had everything we needed to make our occassion as special as it could possible be. Although we weren't able to enjoy the pool, it is beautiful and would be a fun place for family and friends. Try this property out, you won't be disappointed. There is something here for everyone!!
