The property was absolutely beautiful. Everything was as promised and the multiple living spaces made this the perfect rental for our family. We were attending a family member's wedding at Lost Mission and this location was absolutely perfect. We had 4 families (14 people) and every family was able to get their own private space which was great! The dual kitchen, multiple bathrooms, pool, and game room made this a place we want to and will return to.

Third visit

This was our family’s third time gathering at the Poco a Poco Ranch. Lovely as always with a few great upgrades in the game room. It’s a beautiful home/property and has everything you can imagine for all ages to enjoy a fun and comfortable Thanksgiving together.

Perfect getaway!

This property is immaculate and so interesting! We had five couples come out for a kid free weekend and had an absolute blast. The property is so well taken care of and offers so much to do without ever having to leave. We loved how friendly the horses and bison were, also! We are definitely coming back without a shadow of a doubt!

Amazingly unique property

We had an amazing stay for the week of Thanksgiving. A very old house with the modern comforts of today seamlessly integrated. Having the information to learn about the history of the property as well as the area available in the way of pictures and newspaper clippings was a very personal aspect of this house seldom found in a sterile VRBO. Very convenient to shopping and areas of interest as well . I highly recommend this property, especially if you are tired of the usual rental.

Poco a Poco Ranch was a dream come true! We celebrated my bday and felt so special all weekend amongst all the beauty! From the design details to the unique property, the trees, the horses, the pool— this place is one of a kind! Margaret is an amazing host- answers any questions, goes above and beyond with the best house and kitchen and table decor you could ask for, and provided everything we needed for an easy and seamless weekend of fun! We will definitely be back to celebrate at this gorgeous property again! Extra kudos for the game room, fireplaces, and magical sunroom that made our weekend so warm and cozy. Thank you, team Poco a Poco!

Lovely Thanksgiving Stay for Family

We loved our stay at the ranch and plan to return. It's a perfect set up for a multi-generational vacation and such a unique property - tons to do, very well stocked, plenty of space to spread out, and plenty of places to gather together. Photos give a clear indication of the layout and we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the family time.

This is paradise in the country

The historical feel and rustic touches are beautiful and well placed. The best of both worlds country living with modern amenities. We enjoyed the beautiful property. The animals, pool, reliable wifi and gameroom were enjoyed by all the teenagers and teenagers at heart. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool and outdoor lounging areas. Our family was able to cook incredible meals and enjoy nice evenings in the outdoor space. So much to see and areas to explore on the inside and out. All of the incredibly curated antiques were such a beautiful treasure hunt all over the property. We will be back for sure.

Second time to stay!

We absolutely love staying at the Poco A Poco- we loved it so much we’ve now stayed there twice for two large group gatherings. It’s truly the most perfect beautiful home filled with everything you need. I feel like I’m living in a movie set. The staff is very hospitable and easy to communicate, if there is an issue they fix it quickly and the location is not too far from San Antonio and only 20 minutes from Boerne. I hope to come back again with our family soon! The Poco A Poco feels like a home away from home!

Family Reunion

This is a very special place. Perfect setting and accommodating for a reunion of any kind. It allows each guest to have “ their own space” as well as great entertaining spaces. The pool area in the middle of the living spaces makes easy movement throughout. The game room is fun for friendly ( competítive in my family) ping pong, pool and checkers games. We made so many great memories there. I cannot wait to go back.

Wonderful Poco a Poco

My wife and I have been renting vacation properties in the U.S, and around the world for a quarter century. Of all our rentals, Poco a Poco tops our list. If it’s glitzy modernity you’re looking for(and we have enjoyed those ourselves), this is not it. Instead, it’s an historic Texas ranch property that has been deftly adapted by a sensitive decorator to modern use with no loss of its charm or character. The first morning after arrival, as the earliest waking adult, I stepped out the door to see 3 young grandchildren, cousins separated too long by the pandemic, standing together by the stone and wrought iron fence, gazing in rapture at 2 bison munching grass nearby. It was a moment I shall not forget. Over the next few days there were many other magic moments for our family reunion. The cistern and game room were magnets for small fry and rarely did anyone feel an impulse to leave the ranch. Poco a Poco has a unique charm and allure. Our grandchildren are clamoring for a return visit.

You must see it to believe it!

Every word that can be used to describe this property: amazing, beautiful, comfortable, peaceful, relaxing, has been used in all the previous reviews. If you have a large group, are looking for a VRBO that far exceeds expectations, with tremendous owners and communication, then this is absolutely the place. Pleas read all the previous reviews and believe every positive word you read because they are all true, or understated. Magnificent place. Didn’t even know about the horses and Buffalo roaming freely. Outstanding! So lucky to be able to stay here.
