Glad you loved it! Sounds like the perfect getaway, especially for your furry friend. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future!
We had such a great time at the house. It was spacious with great views. Just what we wanted. Very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some.
Beautiful views of both the sunrise and the sunset (in December) from the back porch. Very peaceful. Very well outfitted kitchen. Thoughtful and fun Texas decor. We had a great time!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful views, peaceful atmosphere, and well-equipped kitchen. We're glad you had a great time!
The description of this property is spot on except it exceeded our expectations. Large room sizes, furnished as one would want for hill country and incredible views. Very private. So glad we chose this house in Boerne.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled the property exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the space, views, and privacy. We're so happy you chose to stay in Boerne!
This property was as beautiful as the pictures . The house was huge and had plenty of room . Very clean. The back porch was my favorite place to drink coffee. We were 20 min from town. We even saw deer .
I must say this has been one of the most exceptional places I have stayed in quite some time . The house was beautiful and offered ample space for our family who accompanied us . On one of the days, it happened to rain, and enjoying coffee on the back porch was truly delightful . We had an event to attend , so this location was extremely convenient . The only concern I encountered during our stay was the presence of cobwebs, and while sweeping a couple times, I noticed a significant amount of dog hair. I would definitely consider staying here again for a getaway or when visiting family again .

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that the house was beautiful and spacious for your family, and that you enjoyed your coffee on the back porch. We apologize for the cobwebs and dog hair you encountered and already addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure a better experience next time. We'd love to welcome you back for another stay in the future!
Had a great stay. Saw a few deer in the backyard which was really cool
House was pretty clean. Sectional in large living area needs to be cleaned because it smells like animals. I was a little concerned when I got to the property because the key was left in the front door instead of in the locked pad and the door was unlocked. Everything else was great.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. We've already sent a service over to treat the couch. It's in our house rules that pets are never allowed to be on the beds or furniture (which a prior guest apparently ignored) so we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate you staying with us!
Perfect for hanging out with friends and enjoying the peace and tranquility. Everything we needed was available. With the exception of the air conditioner not being able to keep up with the heat. Got to 78 to 80° every day in the house. But it usually was back to sleep temperature by midnight. Sitting out on the back porch just looking out over the scenery was very very peaceful and tranquil. You will enjoy this house.

Hi Curtis - thank you for the review and we're happy that you enjoyed the home. To clear up the AC comments; you contacted us about the AC issue the second night after you arrived, so we were not aware there was a problem the first night. We sent someone out the following morning at 9:30 AM who changed a setting on the Nest unit. It was set at "cool heat" and not "cool". We monitored the temp for the following two days and it was working fine. I want to make sure future guests know that there's not a problem with the AC, it works fine and cools the house, as intended. Thank you for using Backroads Reservations
Rented the house for the weekend to attend a wedding in Boerne. The house was amazing. The views are beautiful. If you like sitting on the porch and drinking coffee, this is the house for you. Boerne is about a 20 minute drive from the house. Visit “Cave Without A Name” while you are there. It’s a 1.5 miles from the house and it’s only a 1 hour cave tour but definitely worth it.
Rental process was quick and easy. Property owners were very responsive. House was very spacious and has all the amenities that a person could need. We had a great stay.
The house had a perfect layout with two living areas and at least queen beds in all bedrooms. It was clean and well appointed. The view was awesome. Good proximity to many area attractions. Would definitely stay again and recommend it!
The property was absolutely breathtaking! We loved all the extra details of the home to make guests feel comfortable! We traveled to Boerne for a wedding and were thoroughly impressed!
