All the amenities were excellent. The house was cozy and comfortable. And the property was peaceful and fun to explore, but not so far from town that it was inconvenient to get groceries or supplies.

Nice place to relax

A very nice place to stay. We really enjoyed the pool. There was a good selection of tools in the kitchen to cook with, and the grill worked beautifully, easy to light. Everything was comfortable and it worked well for our family.

Weekend Vaca

This property is pretty amazing and the house was clean as well as had everything we needed. We were disappointed to find out after renting that the heated pool can only be heated to 85 degrees max. Also, the pool equipment shut off several times. Again, the heat max is not advertised before you rent. The heated pool was the reason we rented this property only to find a lukewarm bath.

2021 Gals Vacation

We had a wonderful time on our vacation this year, the house was very clean and roomy. We like to cook out on the barbecue grille on our vacations, our biggest issue was the grille, the grille here is iffy at best, it took us four hours to cook hamburgers as the burners on the grille are wasted. So we basically bought a tank of propane for nothing. If this grill gets replaced we would love to stay here again as we did have a very awesome time. The swimming pool was so amazing! We would like to thank the owner for sharing her home with us this year. Also, we did find out that the H-E-B in Lavernia will deliver groceries to this location, that also was amazing. Thank you Amber!

Rural, secluded and peaceful

Imagine yourself on a secluded ranch, where the only noise you hear is the songs of birds and the wind rustling through the trees. Each day we found a new adventure nearby in San Antonio and when we arrived back, dusty and tired, the pool offered the perfect reward for a day well spent.

Quiet and relaxing location

This is our second time to stay at the ranch on Cibolo Creek. It is a perfect spot to relax and unwind from the bustle of life. The heated pool is a big draw for us as well as the hiking trail along the creek where you can see nesting blue herons! The house is always clean, maintained and stocked with movies to watch at night. Amber is very attentive to your needs should you have any.

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!

There is so much to be said about this place, I don’t even know where to begin! I stumbled upon this hidden gem while looking for something that would accommodate a bunch of loud and crazy baseball players for my sons 13th birthday. Right off the bat, the acreage caught my eye….did I mention these boys are LOUD…. Then add the pool, the hot tub and the creek…I was sold! These kids had the time of their life. They spent most of their time walking the trails to fish in the creek and swimming in the pool. They were so excited that there was good WiFi but never once did they set up a gaming console….i could not believe it!!! They were so intrigued by all of the nostalgic amenities that they had no interest in video games for 4 whole days! They found a cabinet full of board games and actually played them. This place transported me back to my childhood and made my heart so happy to watch them enjoy the things kids just don’t seem to do anymore. None of us were ready to go home and had more time been available, we would have stayed longer. They can’t wait to go back and neither can I. We are actually planning to do a moms trip there before taking the boys back lol. This is definitely our go to spot from now on. The owners are so friendly and accommodating and I can’t thank them enough for sharing this special piece of heaven. Once you get there, you won’t want to leave. Oh, HEB delivers there so that definitely comes in handy :)
