Wonderful property especially for a quiet Texas get away! Close to some really fantastic local towns.
Really enjoyed getting out of the city with wife. Very quiet and quiet, enjoyed sky watching at night. Local restaurants were great as well, and enjoyed a local cooking class. Would stay again.

We're so glad to hear you and your wife enjoyed a peaceful getaway and some starry skies! It sounds like a wonderful mix of relaxation and local flavor. We'd love to welcome you back anytime for another quiet escape.
Beautiful homestead, easy check in and calming property. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about the home its self. Everything was very clean and came with every extra that you could ask for.

Happiness Ranch is just that! We had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the beautiful property and remote location, but close to restaurants and more, if needed. Will definitely return!

Thank you Brennon for your great review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the house well-stocked with everything you needed. It sounds like it was a perfect spot for exploring both Blanco and Wimberley. We’d love to have you back anytime!
We were in the area for a wedding. This home is beautiful. I love the rustic deor along with the modern conveniences of home. It is very clean and well kept, job well done. Thank you!
The modern farmhouse feel in a high-end repurposed pair of barns with impeccable decor and everything you need for a weekend or longer getaway. It was just perfect! Private location but close to all Hill Country has to provide - 20min to Wimberley, 40min to Fredericksburg. Blanco has several great places to eat or grab dessert. We will be back!
All in all it was very nice stay. The back bedroom air conditioning didn’t work! Thank God it was not too hot. Nice property!

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had a nice stay and enjoyed the property. We apologize for the issue with the back bedroom air conditioning and will ensure it’s addressed. We hope to host you again soon!
Wanted to get out of our house and stay in someone else’s for the weekend to unwind and relax for a wedding anniversary. Dinners in Blanco and drinks at Real Ale plus quiet and stars at night did the trick. House is super cute. Wife and daughter both approved. We couldn’t get the hot tub to super heat up, but that might have been user error. It’s a little further from Blanco than I’d have liked but it was the best/closest place that took our dog.

I’m glad the house was a hit with your family, and I’ll check on the hot tub to ensure it’s working properly. We hope to welcome you and your pup back soon!
Jenn and I totally enjoyed the stay. We were able to cook, relax and go shopping in Blanco and Wimberly.we even had a massage therapist drive out the place to give us each full body massages for an hour.Call Tania, ask for Emily. 1-210-313-5160The massages were the best ever.The view on the porch at overlooking the creek is so peaceful. We saw deer, fox, racoons.The ladies at the Property management office were so nice. They were informative, easy to get a hold of, responsive and friendly. Great job!The hot tub was amazing, the temp and water were perfect.coffee, robes and just starring out in the woods was fantastic!We will go back. Totally recommend this get away
Overall the property was cute and a convenient distance from Blanco and the wedding festivities.
The listing does not mention the fact that you must go through the master bedroom to get to the second bedroom. This was a bit awkward for us as the friend staying in the second bedroom was out later than those staying in the master. There is an exterior door but it was late and dark when they arrived and the exterior entrance did not seem like a safe option. The listing should make this clear.
