Thanks for nice review! We enjoy making this a family retreat along with an adult getaway. The Hill Country is where our family used to come for out-door activities when we lived in Houston!

Best vacation ever!

This property is probably one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. Beautiful location, great proximity to the city, such a fun home to stay in. The hosts were incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and communicated clearly the check in and out process. If we ever come back to San Antonio we will absolutely be staying here!

Property is amazing - beautiful mix of history and modern amenities. We enjoyed the game room, pool, watching the pollinators, bats, and scenery. Easy to find, easy drive to San Antonio and New Braunfels/Gruene. Clean, well appointed.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family enjoyed getting away for our spring break. We loved everything about this place. Our children took a dip is pool and loved exploring the property. David was very accommodating and lent us some flour when we forgot it for our breakfast. The gameroom was well stocked with board games and books.

A Hill Country Paradise

I just can’t put into words how private and peaceful Oden Ranch is. If you love the TX Hill Country, don’t miss this spot. The property, from top to bottom, is immaculate. The hosts are wonderful. It’s a perfect distance from both Austin and San Antonio for day trips. You feel so secluded but are only 20-30 minutes from food and entertainment. 10/10 recommend and we can’t wait to go back!

Country Retreat

Magnificent country retreat with great access to both San Antonio/Seaworld (1hr) and New Braunfels/Family (40 min). The property was beautifully manicured inside and out. The pool was our 4 year old's favorite and the cow dog and goats were enjoyed by our 6 year old. The kids vacation with us every summer and seemed to enjoy this property the most completed with tree swing, hammock, and plenty of places to play hide & seek.

Idyllic Hill Country Escape

We couldn’t have loved our stay more. Comfortable house in beautiful surroundings that is still close enough to enjoy excursions around town. The owners made us feel so welcome from the start and the house had everything we needed and more. The pool is amazing and was bigger in person that we thought it seemed online. The game room was a hit with all 4 of our children and us too. We loved feeding the goats and cows and touring the property. The kitchen was great to cook in and had all the essentials. Everything about our stay was wonderful! True Texas treasure

Most relaxing time!

Good communication, easy check in/out, beautiful ranch, 3 cows and best dog, Katy and awesome cat. The landscaping and decorations are very well thought out and amazing! Game room has everything you need for entertainment. Within 15-30 mins from everything for day trips. Brought home a rock for our rock gardens to remember Oden Ranch! Added another year of great memories and fun times. Thank you David & Athena!

This place was quiet and close enough to town but far enough off the roads to relax and unwind. Nature at its best right at your fingertips. The moment we arrive the butterfly convention commenced. The wild flowers brought them in droves. Come visit and if you do use the “rain” water showers and thank me later! It’s amazing on your hair. Family friendly for all ages & the game room was perfect for all of us. Will definitely be back!

Relaxing Retreat

This was such a wonderful place for our family vacation. The location is so peaceful and the ranch was just perfect for quiet time spent with family. David was so kind and explained how the ranch operates, gave us a tour, and responded quickly to our questions. We enjoyed exploring the property, playing with the goats, swimming in the pool, playing basketball and the many other games available in the game room. This will certainly be one of our favorite trips! The house was so unique and had everything we needed. And, we LOVED Katy, the cattle dog. She greeted us each morning and kept us company each day. I can't recommend this property enough!

Magnificent and beautiful countryside, excellent accommodations, fantastic hosts.

Magnificent and beautiful countryside, fantastic hosts. David & sweet Katy the dog welcomed us on arrival, and shared an overview of all the property's wonderful offerings. Our surroundings were just as beautiful and accommodations just as comfortable as the photos and description share. David was even so kind as to allow us to visit another cabin on the property (previous guests had completed their stay), which was just as impressive. We enjoyed visiting with the cows and goats elsewhere on the property during our adventures walking around. We also greatly enjoyed the game room's offerings, the ping pong table, and basketball court. The pool also offers a welcome retreat. We look forward to another opportunity to visit and stay at this location again!

Rural Paradise

Very rarely have I been able to get my children, spouses, and grandchildren together in one room since they left the nest. Although my husband and I live near the area, we thought it would be amazing to bring the remainder of the family into this"resort" so they could enjoy their siblings. They all had a spectacular time using the game room, ping pong table, very comfy bedrooms, privacy, large kitchen and BBQ pit, and beautiful outside areas to take family photos. David was very accommodating and Katie, the pup, kept us all smiling. We will certainly book again when our schedules become ideal again.

Great Get Away!

This property was everything it said it was and more. We had a fantastic time in the game room playing pool and we enjoyed exploring around the property. The swimming pool was so nice and bigger than it looked in the pictures. We looked forward to Katy greeting us and David was a fantastic host. We did not get to meet Athena but we definitely plan to be back and stay here again. You will not be disappointed. We stayed in the master bedroom with the huge shower and the bedroom walked out to the back patio where we would sit in the morning to have a cup of coffee and take in the beautiful landscape. Our friends stayed in the other bedroom with the king size bed and they had a very nice bathroom with a soaking tub. We even got to go see the goats and cows. What a peaceful place to stay. Thank you so much!!!

Girl's Weekend Getaway

This property does not disappoint. It's even better than the pictures show. The setting is off the beaten path and quiet & peaceful. Katy, the cattle dog, greets you & instantly becomes your friend. It's conveniently located if you're planning to visit San Antonio, Gruene, Fredericksburg or Boerne. The main section of the building is great with the kitchen, dining & living room and each of the 2 bedrooms has it's own bath and the bunk house also has a bathroom. We made it easily work even with 7 women! The beds were all very comfy. The game room has everything for all ages and was a great spot to hang out in the evening. This was our second stay and I hope to be back again. The hosts are wonderful and immediately respond if you need anything.
