This was a 2nd stay and it is so nice to be close to town but with a real feeling of being in the country. The house was very clean with all the convivences of home. No problems getting a signal making it easy to check some emails. The beds and couches very comfortable. It is a great place to stay. The host responds very promptly to messages and questions. Thank you to the host for another amazing stay!

Relaxing atmosphere

The small fenced in yard was great for our small dog. We were there to attend an air force basic training graduation at Lackland AFB. The commute was easy and having a Walmart close by came in handy. We really enjoyed the quiet, relaxing setting.

Beautiful house in a great town!

This is really a beautiful place. The drought is tough on this area right now, but it didn't stop us from having a great time. It is nice to be outside town a bit to have more privacy. We find it easier to relax that way. The price is great and it is well suited for groups.We had a little trouble with the internet but had Direct TV so we could watch a movie in the evenings. The house was clean and included games, which we enjoy.Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

Spectacular ranch setting

We had an incredibly enjoyable stay. At night we opened the windows and felt the clean country air while listening to the yipping of the coyotes. The house was clean and comfortable. John Garza was a friendly and very accommodating host.

Sabbatical

Peaceful, quiet, serene; basically, a beautiful place to get away and get quiet with the Lord and my wife. Accommodations were pretty comfortable but could use some upgrades, bed in Master suite was wonderful. Surrounded by nature, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, we definitely enjoyed our stay.

Awesome, peaceful getaway!!

This property fits the bill perfectly if you want to get away from the city, internet, and traffic!! After our grandson's HS graduation, we just wanted a quiet place to unwind and relax. This property was quiet, clean, and situated in an awesome country setting! The host, John Garza, was excellent. We highly recommend this property!!

1968 Highlands High school friends

Annual gathering of four high school friends! Enjoyed catching up with each other, working on crafts and quaint town of Castroville TX. Very comfortable stay, not sure would recommend for senior adults given the spiral staircase. A little disappointed with the condition of chairs in living room but not a game changer. Beds and bedding very comfortable. End result was a good experience.

Truly beautiful home!

The home was very clean and easy to find. The location was exactly what we were looking for for our stay near San Antonio. We were only a short easy drive away from the AT&T Center and the other areas of San Antonio as well. Having the cows and donkey right there was a highlight for both my wife and children. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet location that is close to the city. Communication with the owner was also excellent. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your home!

This is a great place to rest and relax

I don’t think the pictures do justice on this rental. My family enjoyed staying here and will come back. This is a new rental with new appliances fresh and clean. We rented to visit Lackland training base and plan to be back for graduation. Of course this is a farm so children will want to venture out as it is fenced with open areas. Plenty of windows to view all around the property. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this property I bet when spring comes around the colors and greenery will be even better. Great place.

Peaceful

Peaceful place in the country. Very clean and comfortable. If you need WiFi- this isn’t the place for you. There is a gate that you have to get out to open and close each time, an electric key pad and automatic gate would be nice, especially when it’s raining. We went to a local winery called Medina River Winery. Did the tasting with the owner, sunsets there were breathtaking. The local bakery and meat market are a must! Blu Lacey BBQ was out of this world! Great town for a day or two, San Antonio was just 30 minutes away and worth going into for the day. Overall the house was perfect. We walked the property and got to see all the beauty nature has to offer. Didn’t see any cows or donkeys but did have two cats they were very friendly come to visit us each evening. If we are ever in the area we will definitely come back to stay here. The host John was available if needed.

Cattle Country 120 acre Ranch

We absolutely had a blast feeding the black angus cows and Baby Girl, the donkey. We bought cattle treats from Tractor Supply locally and cold long stem carrots from the local Walmart. Our family also raised cows, so we were familiar with them and hand fed a few. The cows came every morning around 9 am and by day four, they were gathered “mooing”for us to come outside. (smart cows). The big bull would hang back and observed. Castroville is a small town gem. We recommend Blu Lacy Smokehouse for the best bbq and sides and don’t forget your bucket of beers from the bar. The local Mexican restaurant was fantastic too, El Portal de Jalisco. The Red Rooster which is a drive thru party store where you can also get frozen daiquiris and margaritas (heavy on the liquor-beware😳) There is a Dairy Queen, McDonald’s and a Pizza place, also a Dollar Tree plus everything you would want in San Antonio. We visited in April, low 70’s, and enjoyed The Fiesta in San Antonio. We visited The Alamo twice and recommend the city parking for $10, closer lots were $25-30 for parking. So much to see and do, but the quietness of the Ranch was the downtime that we needed at the end of a busy day. The narrated boat ride in downtown San Antonio was a lot of fun and neat to see the city from a different viewpoint. The gate lock can be difficult to see at night. I would recommend having a bright light available. We visited family and enjoyed our stay, Travelers from Michigan
