Other Details to Note
Goat Farm Etiquette
This is a working goat farm! While you're welcome to view the goats from a distance or say hello (with supervision), please do not enter any fenced animal areas or private home areas unless invited. For your safety and the animals’, no unsupervised interaction is allowed. Additionally, petting the goats through the fence is welcomed, but please do not open the gates or feed the goats, no matter what they say, they are on a special diet and we don't want them to run away.
Nature-Friendly Stay
Being in the Hill Country means the occasional sighting of insects, critters, and wildlife is possible — especially near the creek or at night. We provide pest control services and encourage keeping doors closed.
Creek Access & Conditions
Cherry Creek is seasonal and water flow may vary depending on recent rainfall. While typically scenic and peaceful, it is not suitable for wading or fishing. There are times when the creek will run dry.
Security & Gated Access
The property is gated and secure. Security cameras are installed at the front entrance and driveway for safety, but there are no cameras in or near any living or outdoor gathering spaces.
Event & Photo Policy
Events, parties, and gatherings must be approved in advance and may be subject to additional fees. Commercial photography or filming (including influencer content) requires prior written permission and a location agreement.
Septic System
The home operates on a septic system. Only toilet paper should be flushed — no wipes, feminine products, or other materials.
Rural Location
While we’re just 40 minutes from San Antonio, this is a peaceful countryside stay. Cell service is generally strong, and Wi-Fi is fast, but occasional rural quirks (e.g., slower response times or lack of food delivery service from apps or GPS routing errors) may occur.
Pet Guests
Well-behaved pets are welcome! Please keep them leashed when outdoors and clean up after them. While the overall property is not fully fenced, there is a designated fenced backyard area where pets can safely roam off-leash under supervision. We kindly ask that pets are not left unattended outside. No more than 2 pets allowed.
No smoking is allowed in the home. Additional cleaning and/or damage charges may apply.
Emergency Contact
We live on-site in a separate home and are happy to assist with anything during your stay. You’ll have a direct number to reach us if needed.

About the host

My place offers a relaxing base with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and family-friendly activities.

I believe small details matter, and I’m always happy to offer local recommendations or answer questions, so you can discover hidden gems while you’re here. I look forward to hosting you and helping you experience Hondo like a local.
Why they chose this property
Since relocating to Hondo in 2016, I’ve embraced the country life with open arms. One of my favorite things about living here is the balance—it’s close enough to San Antonio that you can enjoy city conveniences when needed, yet far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle, relax, and unwind in a quiet, rural setting. I love spending my time outdoors, whether I’m raising goats, horseback riding through open fields, or simply taking in the peaceful scenery. Sharing this country lifestyle with guests is a joy. I take pride in providing a clean, comfortable home, communicating promptly, and adding thoughtful touches to make you feel welcome. My place offers a serene base, yet still gives easy access to San Antonio’s attractions and Hondo’s local charm. Whether you’re visiting for work, a getaway, or to see family, my goal is to make your stay seamless and memorable. I believe small details matter, and I’m always happy to offer local recommendations or share more about life here in Hondo. I look forward to hosting you and helping you experience the best of both city and country living.
What makes this property unique
Beyond the joy of country living, our property is unique in its own right. The centerpiece is a historic farmhouse dating back to 1871, nestled on a working goat farm. It’s quiet, peaceful, and private, surrounded by majestic live oak trees and teeming with wildlife—from hummingbirds and cardinals to doves—making every morning coffee an exercise in bird-watching. Natural scenery and amazing sunsets provide a gorgeous backdrop at any time of year. And if you like to stay active, there’s plenty to enjoy: a firepit for evening gatherings under the stars, a putting green, lawn pickleball, and a BBQ setup—everything you need for fun and relaxation without ever feeling bored.
