Beautiful House in Ideal Setting

This house has been well kept, very clean, and well stocked with essentials of both ingredients as well as dishes and cooking utensils. The back porch is welcoming and overlooks pastureland where you can usually see deer in the morning and evening, and watch birds anytime. Absolutely everything we needed could be found here. We loved our stay at this house so much the first time we visited that we didn't hesitate to come back to it.

Fabulous Eclipse Week in the Texas hill country

This lovely Texas farmhouse was perfect for our family to gather for a week around the solar eclipse. There was plenty of room to spread out and we had some lovely times rocking on the back porch, playing horseshoes and enjoying the rural views. Everything about the home was perfect, We are already talking about another visit there.

Childhood friends had a great visit. We cooked , shopped. We get together once a year.

The best equipped kitchen we all agreed. Beautiful house and loved all the seating choices on porch. Plenty of parking ( we had 5 cars). Quiet hill country site . We enjoyed watching the deer. Loved that it was close to Boerne, but away from people and traffic.

Family Weekend Getaway

Our family had a wonderful weekend getaway at this beautifully decorated countryside rental home. The house was thoughtfully furnished and came equipped with plenty of amenities, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. One of our favorite features was the wrap-around back porch—it was the perfect spot to sip morning coffee while soaking in the peaceful surroundings and watching the abundant wildlife. The tranquility of the countryside truly made for a refreshing escape. To top it all off, communication with the hostess was excellent—responsive, helpful, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
