Beautiful property! When we arrived, the house was decorated for fall and music was playing inside (so inviting). The media room was a huge hit with kids, and adults enjoyed the spaciousness of the house. So glad that we picked Rhino Ranch for a family gathering!

Wow! Exceeded our expectations!

What a beautiful property! The large windows all across the back gave us the most beautiful view from any room we were in. The kitchen was very well stocked. Everything was so clean! We really enjoyed our stay and I hope we can return in the future. Thank you to the host for having such a wonderful place.

Amazing Stay

Everything about this property and stay was amazing. It was very clean and an elegant place to stay for our group of 8 ladies. We would love to stay at this property again, but maybe in the spring to enjoy all it has to offer. The owners were available for any and all questions that we had, which only added to the amazingness (if that's a word).

Fantastic Stay!

We booked this listing for my daughter's wedding for my immediate family and grandparents. The listing photographs do not do the home justice. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. My family throughly enjoyed the large back porch and the media room. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook for a group. The owner's were very easy to work with. Overall this was a fantastic experience and would book again.

Impressive

Stayed for week to visit family and attend a wedding. The Vrbo pictures don’t do it justice. It’s far nicer and bigger than I realized. Sat out on the giant patio at night watching thunderstorms and the kids loved the theater room. The master suite tub and shower setup was quite luxurious. Beds were comfy and the house has a mini split In every room. Kept nice and cool at all times. The owners live onsite and we enjoyed their dog Lula the 8 month old chihuahua. She would come visit for pets every day. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely Amazing

The description and pictures of this place don't do it justice! It is a beautifully secluded spot just close enough to everything we needed while still offering the much needed ability to power down at the end of the day. The view of the hill country from the back porch entranced even the teenagers. They spent most of their time relaxing outside when the rain wasn't coming at them sideways. Overall a great trip exceptionally responsive and proactive owners. Mr. Glenn offered to provide more water when the flash flooding kept us from going out for a while. Overall it was a great stay and I'm already considering a second stay for a girl's trip getaway. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Rhino Ranch for a Relaxing Retreat.

OUTSTANDING PROPERTY

Rhino Ranch is one of the most stunning, beautiful properties I have stayed at. It is more than equipped, it is a full functioning home. Anything and everything that you may need is at your fingertips and exactly in the location you would have put them yourself if it was your home. The views are beautiful, the home and architecture is magnificent and the price is outstanding for what you receive. I look forward to staying at this property again.

Family wedding VRBO

The house was just beautiful! The location was excellent for the wedding reception we attended, less than 10 minutes away! We asked for more water in the dispenser and they were there within the hour! I would recommend a light out by the gate off the highway to find the turn more easily. Overall, very accommodating!

Beautiful hill country views with nice outdoor entertaining area

Overall, we enjoyed staying at the Rhino Ranch. The house was spacious enough for our group of 8 and offered beautiful views of the hill country. It was also located just far enough outside of the city that it was quiet at night but only a short drive into town. While the house offered great views, an amazing outdoor entertaining area, and ample space, a few of the amenities were not functioning, and the tile on the back porch was extremely slippery when wet.

Great place, fun times!

Our group had a great stay. The property is beautiful and well equiped. The fold out Temperpedic couch is pretty thin, so no one but a kid could really find it comfortable. I would recommend moving one of the beds from the double room into that office to open up one more comfortable private space for a couple. Other than that we had a blast. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Amazing Hill Country Retreat!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home in the Texas Hill Country! The property is stunning, with upscale features and gorgeous landscaping that perfectly complement the scenic views. The house was spacious and comfortably accommodated our group, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. One of the highlights was the movie room, where the kids loved watching their favorite films—it was a perfect setup for family entertainment. The home is wonderfully secluded, offering peace and privacy while still being close enough to explore the surrounding area. Overall, this home exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway in the Hill Country!

Amazing location and amenities that far exceeded the description. Honestly while taking a shower I had a surreal moment with just how breathtaking the view was. Yes tge view from the master shower!!!. Nothing but positive things to say. The host went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. With a wedding we were attending the host even hand delivered packages we needed. Will stay here again and again and again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Reinemund

Host profile image
My husband and I built this custom home 11 years ago and named it the 'Rhino Ranch'. We have been renting out our home for 6 years now. We live on the property in a cottage up the hill. This allows us to be on hand if the need requires.
I work for an airline company and love to travel. We have been to almost every country in the world. I am fortunate to be able to work for an airline and fly for free wherever I go. My favorite destination was Sydney, Australia. We lived there for 3 years. My daughter was born in England as we also lived there for 4 years. I am from San Antonio, Texas and moved back home to be closer to family. My husband Glenn is retired and loves to work around the house and the yard. Our hobbies are collecting movies, reading good books, tennis (John Newcomb Ranch and T Bar M are only 10 minutes away), traveling, entertaining, cooking and hosting. Golfing is minutes away.
We would love to have you stay with us and have the vacation of a lifetime!
