About this property

"Come enjoy the Paradise many keep treasured in their hearts!"

Nestled two blocks off of Main St. A quick 5 min. walk to the Sabinal River, which is up and moving, makes for a great sun-filled afternoon at the Utopia Park. Stop by the local Lost Maples Cafe or The Lunchbox on your way back for a quick bite to eat. There are menus in the house for both. There is a taco trailer and on the weekends BBQ occasionally.

This Renovated 1941 original homestead provides wonderful outdoor space & country charm. During WWII this house was an Officer's Barracks at Hondo Air Base in Hondo, Texas. Original, restored hardwood floors are a quaint reminder of it's history in Utopia. Situated on a large corner lot, this home speaks peace & down home comfort straight to the soul. Continually improving, Old Town Utopia B&B wants to welcome you home to Paradise in Texas.

A few of the many close attractions include LOST MAPLES STATE PARK, GARNER STATE PARK AND THE FRIO RIVER, BANDERA- COWBOY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, THE SABINAL RIVER- a short walk or drive away in the Utopia Park. THE LOST MAPLES WINERY. To name a few.

Enjoy dining in the Lost Maples Cafe where you can visit a piece of the movie SEVEN DAYS IN UTOPIA, filmed on location. As well as the Utopia Golf course about 2 miles away. On special weekends, taste the best BBQ in the canyon down on Main St. Five star dining at the Laurel Tree by reservation on the weekends.

Enjoy a clean, completely remodeled home with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay away from home.

WI-FI, continental style breakfast available, full kitchen and dining area, and a full laundry room (no mud please). Breakfast is not prepared personally for you. Breakfast items can found in the cabinet with dishes. We provide donuts, pop tarts, oatmeal, honey buns or the sort and coffee.

Large yard nestled under sky high Pecan Trees. You will realize small town, country air is indeed relaxing. Enjoy the lush feel of a beautifully manicured green yard and outdoor seating to hear the singing of crickets at night. Add some star gazing, fireflies and a few brave deer and you have enjoyed a peaceful evening before you know it.

Owner double-booked the property

Danielle double-booked the property, as it was occupied when we arrived. Neither we nor they could contact her via phone, text, or walkie talkie, leaving us in the lurch. I have since tried to contact her several more times over the next few days and finally got a response. Someone in Utopia told us she has done this before. Double booking is inexcusable.

Pleasant stay

When we arrived there was no electricity; I contacted the owner several times. We finally went outside to discover it was turned iff at the box. Was a little concerned that no one responded to my messages.

Late to review but worth the read.

We planned a trip to float the frio and booked this property. It was very spacious for our group but we had nothing but problems. The plumbing was AWFUL. We weren’t allowed to even flush toilet paper down the toilets. House is outdated and needs fixing up. Property owners were easy to contact and did come out to help fix the problem. We were told by them that we left the house dirty, which was NOT the case, and they could on my refund us $100 for the insane amount of problems we had. Like I said, I’m late to post the review, didn’t realize I hadn’t done it sooner! Overall, don’t recommend this property.

Perfect Girls Trip

We decided to take a much needed girls trip getaway and wanted to have a nice quiet place to stay where we could hang out after floating the river all day and just relax. This charming home did not disappoint, with its original hard wood floors you could smell as soon as you walked in, and the neighborhood pet deer, Emma. My only negative was that there wasn’t much in the kitchen as far as cooking utensils, so if you plan on cooking large meals, you may want to bring a few extra things like cutting knives, pots and pans, and baking dishes. This was my first experience with a VRBO home and I would definitely recommend this home if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax in a cute little Texas town.

Why they chose this property

This property is filled with history. During WWII, this home was an Officer's Barracks at Hondo Air Base in Hondo, Texas. It was moved to Utopia by it's only previous owner, the Amann family. Mr. & Mrs. Amann lived in this home from 1942 until they passed. They raised their family in Utopia. Mr. Amann was the Utopia ISD Ag teacher for nearly 40 years amongst other community endeavors. You can read more about this awesome family, and other Sabinal Canyon notables, in the home.

We have always loved this beautiful home and admired the time and effort the Amann's put into the home. It was in exceptional shape when we purchased it and is cozy and charming.

We are very excited to be a part of the continuing history of this home.
