Awesome Stay!

We recently stayed at both of these lovely properties, and could not have been happier! Our daughter was married at Lost mission , which was a short drive away, and it was the perfect place for the bridesmaids to come and have their hair and make up done! Our family members had their four year old grandson with them and they loved feeding the donkeys and the ducks and just being out in the lovely countryside. We would definitely recommend!

An awesome ranch in Texas Hill Country

We rented both houses,Oaks Ranch and Haven House. We had people from both sides of our family for a reunion and viewing the eclipse. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on eclipse day, but we enjoyed being together. Both houses were clean and spacious. They had everything that we needed. The kids really enjoyed the carrots to feed the donkeys. Also, making s'mores. The grounds were beautiful! We enjoyed watching the donkeys, cats, ducks and turtles. The fountain in the pond made sitting in one of the swings even more peaceful. If we're ever back in the area, we'd love to stay again!

My husband and I used this place for a small family get together to celebrate our anniversary. Everyone commented on how beautiful the house was. The adults enjoyed playing horseshoes and the kiddos enjoyed feeding the donkeys. It’s definitely a place we would happily go back to.

Perfect for family retreat

The owners are supper nice, very thoughtful and easy to work with. Our kids loved talking with rhe donkeys each morning, bunk beds super fun. Cottage has high ceilings and excellent views. We had a fire, kids loved glamping. Went into Boerne, much preferred over Fredericksburg, less touristy. Great trip.

Family break away

The animals and the hosts were amazing. My daughter loves horses and this rental was simply the best. Added to that the donkeys were funny and the bunnies super cute. The pond is stocked and I can attest to 5 good sized bass caught within only a few hours. Kids had a blast pulling smaller fish with bread. All in all we will be going back.

Beautiful getaway!

We enjoyed our stay, and hope to return soon. Our kids enjoyed the ducks and donkeys. The house was clean and super comfortable. We didn't see the horses to much, but we were gone a lot also. Definitely very relaxing place. On our list to come back to and spend more time enjoying the comfort of the house and beautiful scenery all around.

Family Getaway in Nature

We had a great time relaxing with all the sweet animals. Our kids loved exploring the property and spent the whole time outside. The house was very cozy and we enjoyed sitting on the porch looking out at the pond. It was the perfect location at only 5 minutes from the park entrance. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants a country getaway or a neat place to stay while visiting the area.
