This Villa sits in the highest point of 11 acres looking out on a beautiful scene of grass land where you might catch a prancing deer or cattle grazing. The Villa is surrounded by a stunning landscape including palm trees and other plants giving it a Mediterranean feel with a gorgeous pool and gardens with stunning views of the hill country... you can walk out to waterfalls and fountains and feel like you are in a private resort retreat!

This Villa is stunning and functional, perfect for a weekend or longer stays in the hill country.

Wonderful Villa

We loved this property. The pool is amazing. This is the place to relax and feel separated from everything yet be close to all you need. We used this villa as our base for exploring New Braunfels and San Antonio and it worked great. Cannot wait to return.

Weekend Getaway

The rental process is really easy and the owners really provide you with great instructions and everything you need (but food). The pictures are great but do not fully do the property justice.

Sweet serenity with a European flair!

As a family of 5, we fully used all aspects of the villa, spending most of our time enjoying the pool (unheated), hot tub (absolutely amazing), outdoor grill/fireplace and the outdoor dining table. The kitchen is fully stocked and the property manager is attentive and responsive. While the villa is removed from the bustle of the city, you will notice new construction in your views. We loved our time at Cibolo Chase!

The oasis of serenity

This property should be called the Oasis of serenity. I brought my family here for vacation in San Antonio and we ended up staying at the Villa most of the time. My kids really enjoyed the pool and the adults really enjoyed sitting around cooking Outdoors. The house really made you feel at home and comfortable we also enjoyed all the Night Lights and the lights in the pool. Check in with the property manager was a breeze and she made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and family and look forward to making a trip back just to stay at this property again.

Lovely retreat

Awesome indoor/outdoor living. Amazing outdoor spaces including pool, spa, grill, fireplace. Great kitchen with everything we needed. Second bedroom had a trundle bed, worked well for two kids. Property manager was super easy to work with. There is a dog who lives at the property and we had some issues with her barking / keeping us up at night but the owners worked hard to accommodate. Still would recommend!

Little slice of Paradise!

I cannot speak highly enough of this absolutely beautiful property, that the owners obviously put a great deal of thought and effort into. The only real downside was that there is development coming up around the area, and there was a constant hum of backhoes and construction. It is far enough away, though, to block out while you enjoy this amazing spot:) Would also have like to have easier access to more plastic dishes, since glass is not allowed outside...and we ate all our meals out there. Aside from that, it was perfect!!!

Better than described!

This property was jaw-droppingly beautiful. We didn't want to leave! The owners provided everything you need to settle in - the kitchen is full of various cooking tools, pots, pans, plates, etc. Flashlights, which almost came in handy when a storm rolled through, too. Beds were huge and comfortable. Area was quiet and peaceful. Our family enjoyed hanging out in the yard, playing chess, and enjoying the hot tub. It was early spring, so the pool was not quite hot enough, but it was pretty. Just sitting out there having coffee or reading a book was lovely. As far as property size, the house has two bedrooms, but we found it huge and spacious for our family of three. The teenager had a ton of privacy when she wanted it because of the smart layout and the thick walls. Property manager and owner were excellent. One night a storm rolled through, and they checked in on us via text to let us know where flashlights were and where to park to avoid hail damage. We also enjoyed visits from the friendly outdoor cat - we were missing our kitties, so we gave her lots of attention when she came by. Great stay, close to everything - easy drive to San Antonio or Austin, or just hanging around hill country. We had a great time and highly recommend this place!

Beautiful, remote, and all around just a warm peaceful vibe!! if you’re looking for a beautiful, romantic, exotic, and a private getaway look no further, this place has it all, the home the inside of the home she managed to get every vibe in there and just pulled it all together the owner built and designed the home and it is just absolutely gorgeous. You can feel the love she has put into it! Outside the waterfall at night those pictures are just a tease, the outdoor shower was awesome! And absolutely no sounds but nature! The host and groundskeeper lives on site directly behind the home, any questions or issues that you may have she’s very quick to respond and take care of anything that needs to be taken care of very professional yet personable! She makes you feel more of a guest than a visitor, which is nice! I’ve had my eye on this house, probably for about five years, so I was glad I finally got to go! It was everything and more, but for me, it was the pool! The town of bedrock!!

A quick getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Cibolo Chase and will definitely will be back. It was beautifully lit at night and very relaxing. The only thing I wish would have been done was the outside patio and around the pool be blown off from debris. We would step on acorns or leaves, but we found a broom and cleaned up a little. I would definitely recommend to stay! Thank you for a wonderful visit.

We had a great time. The house is nice and cozy but the pool is the main attraction. It was clean and crystal clear, and just what a family needs on a hot summer day. If you are looking for a place to relax and play, look no further.

Pool time

The pool was so clean, crystal clear water, and 9 feet deep, with a waterfall and swim in grotto in the deep end and a bubbler in the shallow shelf. There are fun colored lights. The stairs to get in and out of the water are very steep and there is no railing. We bbqed steaks outside on the grill. The inside was very clean with helpful signs and book. The beds are super high off the ground, there is a little step stool to help, but the bed was still really high and I needed help up. This would not work for disabled people. The top of the second bedroom bed came up to my chest. The couch was comfortable and the TV had amazon prime and netflix already available. It was hard to find an outlet to plug in a phone or other charger. But mostly, we had a fantastic time swimming.
