Phenomanal Stay

Keith was a phenomenal host. The house was a perfect place to have multiple families stay and enjoy the hill country for a long weekend. The kids loved the pool and sports court. This house has everything and more. Keith was easy to work with and provided us with the best stay we have had with VRBO to date.

Incredible Property!

We've been to quite a few VRBO's and this was one of the best! We had 14 people and had space leftover. Everything was as promised and even exceeded expectations. Keith was super responsive and even reached out multiple times to make sure everything was going well. I would give this property my highest recommendation.

Unbeatable experience

Don’t think twice, book now! This was hands down the best experience I’ve had with a vacation rental, anywhere. The property manager and hosts had superb customer service and hospitality, the home was better than described, fully stocked and clean with breathtaking views. Not to mention the location and comfort we experienced was perfect, not far from airport and very close to a lot of groceries and shopping. The experience was unmatched and priceless. Trust me, you won’t regret.

Breathtaking views, fun for all ages

In the words of Will Ferrell in the movie Step Brothers "So many activities! It's making my head spin, how many activities we could do." From pickleball, tennis, basketball, swimming, board games, this home has it all. If you are looking for a well furnished home that can accomodate everyone, stop your search and hit book! Our family of 11 had the most wonderful Christmas stay. Keith is an incredible host! 10/10 would stay again.

Fabulous Family get together

We live in WV, but most of our family lives in Texas. We had a family get together at this stunning property. Everyone enjoyed having their own bedroom with bathroom The pool was the high point and we spent hours in it despite occasional rain. The kitchen enable our four Family cooks to work together to make amazing meals. As grandma, I was able to get time alone with each to listen to their plans and joys! I needed help getting out of the pool without hand rails but no one else did!

Luxury Family Retreat

15 family members travelled to San Antonio for a family wedding. We wanted a place where everyone could stay together but yet not feel cramped. The property far exceeded our expectations. Everything from beds to appliances to furnishings was top of the line. Our stay was wonderful and everyone was comfortable. I contacted the host a couple of times with questions and he responded immediately and was very helpful. Superb hospitality. Thank you, Keith, for sharing your home with us. It was well worth the cost, no regrets.

5-STAR RESORT PROPERTY - AWESOME HOUSE

I rarely give out reviews or survey's after staying in VRBO's, but this property...WOW..!!!!!! What a great house to spend the weekend with the family. The house is setup perfectly for a lot of people with open spaces huge rooms, every bedroom has its own bathroom. The fixtures, furniture and kitchen appliances are all top of the line. We had our family Christmas gathering and had 16 people with grandchildren and our kids enjoy every moment. Plenty of things to do, never left the house. Enjoyed the sport court, played basketball, pickle pall (for the first time) and kids road their bikes. Afternoons spent family time in the heated pool looking at high country vistas...what a view looking from the infinity pool. If you want 5-STAR quality resort property, this is the place to rent. Highly recommend the property and will definitely come back. Oh, the property manager and owner..."the best I have every dealt in renting properties"...you will not be disappointed.

Best booking we have ever had on VRBO!

We got together for a family Thanksgiving. The home was magnificent! Has every amenity you would want or desire. The heated pool and outdoor fireplace was a plus for a big group. They even supplied pool towels and inflatables. There were two pickleball courts and a basketball court on the property. The kitchen was fully outfitted with every appliance you could need. The pantry was stocked with all sorts of supplies including paper products, dinner ware, glasses, serving pieces, cooking utensils, pots, pans. And there were a many sundries such as spices and coffee. You name it, this house has it. The bedrooms were comfortable and lush. They even had special soaps and body washes available in every bathroom. Keith was very communicative, and encouraged us to contact him if there was anything we needed. The home is private and secluded with beautiful views. I cannot say enough about this stay. It was incredible and well worth every penny spent in booking.

Family Weekend

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. It is well furnished with any supplies you may need for cooking, playing sports (Basketball, tennis, Pickleball). The pool is beautiful. The home comfortably slept our 20 guests. Rooms are spread throughout the house, so noise is not necessarily an an issue. The upstairs master suite contained a comfortable bed, seating area, with breathtaking views, and a luxurious bathroom. There are two sets of washers and dryers with detergent included. The only issue we experienced during our stay was with the downstairs air conditioning. We called, and the house manager was there within a couple hours. The issue remained, so they sent an air conditioning technician that same evening to address the problem. Keith, the owner, even followed up to ensure that we were comfortable with our stay despite the issue and worked with us to make sure we were happy. If you are looking for a luxurious home that is close enough to the city, shopping, Six Flags, and more, this was an excellent site. Alternatively, if you are looking for a home where you can stay comfortably sequestered from the rest of the world and just enjoy the quiet then this is the home for you.

A perfect place for an intimate retreat.

The house was amazing, just like the photos. It had many seating areas for my retreat and lots of space to spread out. Our private chef said it was a well stocked kitchen and he loved using it. Would definitely stay again if I ever go back to San Antonio!

My extended family and I just returned from a wonderful stay in this gorgeous home. The rooms are just as pictured, and the setting with the pool overlooking the hillside could not be more perfect. My family and I have stayed at several VRBO homes, but none have compared to this. From the exceptionally equipped chef’s kitchen

Great Experience

We were a group of 15 college friends playing golf and hanging out. The house is great. There are enough beds for 14 to have their own. The house is well equipped with high quality items. Ample room for food storage and prep to handle the size of our group. They were also very well stocked with spices and staples. The owner was great to work with. If going back to San Antonio I would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful Property

This house was wonderful. We had four families spend their spring break together here, kids ranging 8-20. There was everything plus some necessities that we needed. It was hard to leave the property & explore San Antonio because we enjoyed relaxing at the house so much. We would definitely book again if we make it back to San Antonio.

An Amazing Stay and Perfect for My Team!

This home is completely dedicated to making your every moment there absolutely flawless. We are group of professionals that came from Florida for an international vacation rental property managers conference (we also rent vacation homes!), and what we experienced was so inspiring! The truth is that Keith understands the real level of hospitality that is missing in this world today, and his home is an extension of that sentiment. If you have the honor of staying there at any time of the year, or any year to come, you will certainly experience a lesson in trust, humanity, and a gentle indulgence that reminds you that you will never be able to replace this personal touch that we all long for in these technologically frustrating days. Cheers to Keith! We will return! And we will tell everyone we know that they must stay only here with him!

Beautiful house with amazing views

We rented the house so 9 family members could stay together and visit. The house has plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a large group like ours. The pool was clean, there was pool toys for the kids and comfy lounge chairs for the adults. Kitchen is fantastic, note they have lots seasonings and condiments in the pantry. In their Chefs kitchen, you will lack for nothing. Keith, the host, is very easy to work with and very responsive. We will definitely stay at the house again in the future. Thank You
