About this property
The Lodge @ HomeAway Ranch
On a 30 Acre Horse Ranch; Fully Equipped.
Only 10 minutes from main street Boerne & close to San Antonio, Fredericksburg and Wine Country, yet feels like you're a million miles away in this wonderful wooded ranch where great views of beautiful nature from your private deck or screened-in porch + great amenities like BBQ pits, smokers & grills, pick-nick areas, fire pits, horseback riding (additional discounted fee) & the best darn cooking you ever had, cooked fresh by 2 resident Chefs (meals and horseback riding optional add-ons) converge to create your own custom-crafted vacation.
Sleeps up to 8 with free babies & toddlers; We have discounts for military, teachers/professors & law enforcement; please contact us for more info.
Bedroom has "smart" HD TV and "smart" HD DVD player as well as big closet, the living room makes into a cozy queen-sized bedroom at night (just let us know what time you want your turn down - we come and make it for you :-) and twin beds for the kids to camp out in the little loft.
Full kitchen with complete cooking utensils including pots & pans, full sized stove and oven, big microwave, large refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, free coffee and all the basics for dinning: dishes, cups and mugs, glasses, wine glasses, silverware, etc. if it's not there, just ask for whatever you need to cook and we will get it for you - or don't feel like cooking? We can make you and your loved ones a lovely continental breakfast with fresh baked French pastries every morning,
Location? Great hub for your San Antonio, New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, Comfort, Fiesta Texas, Sea World, the Rivers and any other Hill Country vacation fun: 5 minutes away from Main Street Boerne (& I-10) where there are tons of fun things to do, 10 min. to FM 46 (road to to Bandera & New Braunfels), 20 minutes to San Antonio's Fiesta Texas & all the restaurants, movie theaters & shopping at The RIM (I-10 and 1604) with many entertainment, shopping and fine dining options, 30 min. from Fredericksburg... To sum it up, even though we are 'in the woods', we're in a very convenient location for whatever you may feel like doing.

Nice place to get away to
My sisters and I wanted a place to stay over the holiday weekend that was still close enough to our homes that we could take care of necessary chores without driving for hours. Micky's and Vicky's place provided that retreat for us. Kitchen and laundry in house made everything easy. The ranch critters were all charming. I'm glad I took a full bag of carrots for all the furry hosts!

Read the reviews closely!!!
We just returned from a holiday weekend, which by all accounts, the hosts Mickey and Vicky, did a good job of ruining for us. The "ranch" is billed as a resort with wildlife (horses, goats, etc.), which yes, there are animals there, but a resort is far from the experience. We didn't see any sign of the gourmet restaurant or "cowboy bar."
To start- Vicky calls me before our weekend check-in and says the people in the rental we had booked were not leaving. She offers 2 of the smaller cabins and I showed my disinterest. She then offers up the Main House, which was an obvious upgrade, and of course, I thanked her and let her know we were looking forward to it.
The main house inside is lovely! Very comfortable. But the deck is filthy. I cleaned that off myself. And don't expect to have anyone over for dinner or to visit because there is a per person charge that Micky and Vicky will HOUND you about all of your stay. (they live on property.
We were having my brother to dinner, and they immediately insisted on sending an invoice. We have stayed at over 100 vrbos and NEVER had to pay for a guest. Not only pay extra, but have the owners HOUND you your entire stay. Also, the main house is attached to two smaller cabins and this weekend, our neighbors were a group of drunk 21-year-old boys and their girlfriends. I guarantee M and V didn't know there were 8 of them in 1 cabin. Please read the reviews and don't ignore the negative ones like I did.
