Mrs. Saxe made us feel very welcoming and at home the whole time. The pool was amazing for the kids and adults! The view was breathtaking and the privacy was awesome!
Close to garner state park, we enjoyed staying here
We were about 18 of us including 7 kids and loved every bit of the space, pool, views and other amenities
Communication with the property manager was great
The only down was no internet connection at all but sometimes that’s just what you need to call it a vacation!
The place was gorgeous, and fully furnished in a way that it completely supported everyone in our group. There were no sacrifices. It was an incredible trip.
Swimming pool was fun. Kept sliding glass doors shut when not in use for the safety of the small children. Had a pool table, ping pong, shooting targets, swing, spot for s’mores. It was great!
We stayed at this location last year and liked it so much we came back. The house has everything to keep you entertained! We will be back again next year :)
This property was an awesome opportunity to get away from laptops, emails, and virtual school. The house is comfortable and the surrounding land is beautiful, rugged Texas Hill Country. Just plan ahead, there is limited cell signal (none for us with Verizon) and no internet (one of the best features in my opinion). There is a good selection of satellite TV. The pinball machine was also a great hit (remember to bring quarters).
If you want to unplug and enjoy the hill country, this is definitely the place to stay, We booked a day before and Miren was very responsive. This being our first time visiting the hill country, because we are beach people. We wanted to try something different and be away from the crowds. This property is only 25 minutes from Garner State Park and the Frio river, but you will find all the amenities on the property without leaving during your stay. The kids enjoyed the game room, and the indoor pool. Lastly, the view is truly breathtaking.
WELL, ALL MY FAMILY WERE SO HAPPY TO FIND A PROPERTY LIKE THIS, IT HAS ALL REQUIREMENTS TO SPEND A FEW DAYS CONFORTABLE, AND THE WEATHER AT THE MOUNTAIN IS SO DIFFERENT FROM LEAKEY, TX, IN THE AFTERNOON THE BREEZE IS REFRESHING, THE SWIMMING POOL AND THE SPA, SUPERB, THE PUMP HAS TO REPAIR ON THE CONNECTOR (MINOR REPAIR), AND THE FOUNTAIN AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE IT´S AMAZING BUT WE ENJOY ONLY AT THE BEGINNING ON THURSDAY, AND ON SUNDAY AT THE TIME TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. BUT ANYWAY, ALL WAS PERFECT.

Great for big group with kids.
You will want to contact the owner directly via their phone as the VRBO messaging service didn't put me in contact with her whatsoever. The property was great. Very spacious. We put all of the kids in two different bunk rooms downstairs and they had a large game room to play in (not to mention we could hardly hear them.) The adults (4 couples) all had separate rooms upstairs. We gave the master bedroom to the family with a baby, and there was plenty of room for their pack n play.
I was worried about the pool set up with the kids, but it was perfect. Just walk out onto the HUGE porch and around to the other side of the house and enter the pool there. It was never a problem to keep an eye on them. The kids loved having a pool the whole time, and the parents could just sit on the porch in the shade and watch them. No sunburns!
There was plenty of room for everyone to eat and cook food. Very open floor plan.
VERY CLEAN throughout the entire house!
Don't plan on using the internet. Owner said it would be slow, but it was so weak that you couldn't even load a single thing. One of us had some work to do and wound up having to drive 40 minutes away to get service to submit some work projects. However, you CAN get a slight cell signal if you're on the corner just off of the pool area.
Definitely plan to lay out on the porch at night and check out the stars. It was breathtaking and you could see everything. No light pollution whatsoever. The kids saw a ton of shooting stars and loved that.
One day we went tubing on the Frio and asked the locals where they went. Everyone suggested Happy Hollow, which was about 15-20 minutes away. Their staff was very nice and we floated their route, which took about 2 hours. All of the kids did great on the river! Very family friendly, no crazy college kids or anything like that.
Checkout was fairly simple, although I was a bit overwhelmed at the 9 page checkout packet! :-D
Anytime I needed ANYTHING, I was able to text the owner and she was always very quick to reply and extremely helpful. Would definitely rent from her again!!!!

WONDERFUL
We had a WONDERFUL week at this property. The home is definetly designed for a family vacation. There is plenty of room, and space. Perfect location for a getaway with teenagers. Close to Garner State Park - yet far enough away to really enjoy the vistas and privacy. Recommend it highly.

WONDERFUL STAY!
WHAT A GREAT TIME WE HAD CELEBRATING A 60TH BIRTHDAY AT PUERTO CIELO WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY! THE BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED AND SPACIOUS RANCH IS JUST PERFECT FOR FUN FAMILY TIMES. WE ENJOYED THE POOL TABLE, PIN BALL MACHINE, AND OUTDOOR BBQ AREA! SAW TURKEYS, DEER, AND HOGS THROUGHOUT OUR FIVE NIGHT STAY ON THE RANCH. WE WERE A BIT DISAPPOINTED THAT THE INDOOR POOL WAS NOT HEATED, BUT ENJOYED HIKING AND WATCHING WILDLIFE INSTEAD. THE BEDROOMS WERE COMFORTABLE AND LARGE, AND WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY. IT WAS VERY QUIET AND SECLUDED AT THIS RANCH AND WE WERE TREATED TO A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT SHOW WHEN A THUNDERSTORM ROLLED THROUGH THE HILLS ON OUR LAST NIGHT! WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO ANY LARGE GROUP.
