Unfortunately we were only in the area one day but we truly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very nice as well as the outdoor seating area. There were chairs as well as a firepit on the raised deck and a bench by the front door with a nice new rug to really brighten things up. There was also a barbecue pit to use as well as a small refrigerator and microwave as well as dishes for your use. Since we were only staying one night I chose the smaller of the cabins however it was really plenty of room. You walk into a little sitting area and then the main room you have a nice bed, which was extremely comfortable and table for two. A bar area that has dishes, a coffee pot and all the accessories. The breakfast was so much better than the free breakfast offered at hotels. She provided pasties and fruit to start along with coffee, juice and water. While enjoying those, she then prepared made to order eggs, home fries and bacon. We will definitely be returning and staying longer.

After finding a couple of places closed, we called Barons Creekside. Best thing we ever did! We spoke to Lasca, who was actually out with her family for dinner Despite this, she got us set up in the cutest farmhouse, gave us directions and instructions to get in, and after her dinner was over, she stopped by to check if we needed anything. The excellent service did did not stop there. We were treated like family, and we really enjoyed walking the beautiful, scenic grounds and hanging out at "The Club" on property! Next time we go to Fredericksburg, we know where we will stay - at Barons Creekside!

I understand that the cabins are old, and authentic but it would help a little. I would also recommend a little better dusting, around window sills, and windows/curtains, a fair amount of dust that came off, every time we closed the blinds or pulled the curtains. That is the only reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5.

Peggy is the very nicest you'll ever find for a host and the whole town of Utopia mimics true hospitality. I don't want to leave and I can't wait to come back!

Bend o' the River even let us use their golf cart to drive the couple of hundred yards to their river access, which even has steps into the water. Peggy and Ron were fabulous hosts. I highly recommend Bend o' the River.

The grounds have lots of friendly animals to interact with. The location feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, yet you're only a few minutes away from Boerne.

The bed was super comfortable, and the cabin had everything we needed. The hosts responded quickly whenever we needed anything. We're looking forward to returning to the spot again the next time we need a getaway that feels far away yet is still fairly close to San Antonio.

We did all the activities on the ranch during our long weekend & left with fresh eggs that we plan to hatch!!! The amount of surprises & animals was completely unexpected. It's truly a special place that takes amazing care of their animals & it shows. Right before we left we were able to see something completely amazing: 1 hour old twin Nigerian Dwarf goats still getting birth goop licked up by momma goat! This place is truly a great experience for kids! The first night we did the night adventure hike & walked through splendid & quiet darkness, we were amazed at the tranquility & abundance of stars filling the sky. We found deer poop & learned about venomous spiders, & cacti while finding a live vulture looking down at us! We met super friendly donkeys & horses that didn't want to leave us, they were so super friendly! Our kiddos were allowed to chase a couple of Emus (yeah, that's not a sentence I ever expected to ever write in my life!), those things are so magestic it was amazing to see them running with such easy while our kiddos were so chaotic running behind them lol All this happened in the dark, really cool & such a unique experience! Then we met an arctic fox named Conan. He was just recently rescued so his habitat is getting built while he is in this temp enclosure & the final one will be huge and air conditioned. The mornings were exciting because of the fresh eggs & lively chickens. There is a wonderful array of feathered friends that roam free with the goats through the day, greeting us randomly. We loved how all the animals were given so much free range & were so happy & super friendly! All these rescues truly found the best sanctuary, they are so well cared for! The exotic bird adventure was so much fun for the kids & parents. We got to hold so many parrots & we met the two fun emus again. We got to interact with all the birds as they talked & walked all over us, all so very exciting! Our labradoodle was able to make friends with the local dogs & was able to run off-leash safely behind a huge fenced open space while our kiddos explored the grounds, finding bugs, bones & delighting their imaginations while mommy & daddy relaxed on our lawn chairs so happy for the down time! This place felt so safe for my kids to roam and explore. The petting adventure was so much fun for the kids & parents, we got to meet everyone on the ranch & every adventure is a good length long & we learned so much about every animal thanks to the very professional guide & owner, Micky. We even did the horse riding - all 6 of us got to ride together & enjoyed the peaceful ride with an exciting ending of riding a galloping horse. We all loved it! We left with amazing memories & would recommend this ranch to anyone, especially to those with kids! Vicky & Micky were super accommodating to our constantly changing plans & worked on rearranging our schedules depending on kids' needs. We kept constant communications via text & made sure we had everything we needed down to the pepper, salt & vegetable oil. We absolutely had the most magical experience throughout our 3 night stay, especially with our random goat visits, that was so unique & special! Thank you Vicky & Micky & Amanda & MJ!!

We really only heard traffic during the day, it was pretty quiet at night, and day traffic didn't bother us. We stayed in Winterberry, and we sat on the cute porch in the evening with citronella (my boyfriend is a mosquito magnet, lol) and lightning bugs. The bed was a little more firm than we were expecting, but we still slept fine. I should also preface that we sleep with a box fan on low for white noise. We were there during the week so there wasn't really any noise from other guests, only a few people were there. I will make note that you can see straight down into Winterberry from the door of the second floor cabin next door. We forgot to tell Debbie, the manager, about that, but it can easily be fixed with a simple window covering. There was no one in that room while we were there so it wasn't a big deal. Debbie was truly delightful, very sweet. She brought the biscuit basket we ordered for our final morning. The biscuits were really very good, they come in the cutest setup, with the biscuits sitting on a bread warmer. Great experience overall. If we vacation in Fredericksburg again, we will definitely stay here.

The main house seemed somewhat clean other than cooking pans and utensils, coffee makers, the broom to sweep the house and kitchen was loaded with gunk and hair. the River House was worse. Not clean, utensils and coffee makers in the house were not clean; very off putting. The door to the bathroom was horribly squeaky and stuck and you couldn't close it without waking everyone up, blinds are all broken and there are no coverings on front entrance which faces the road. window sills were filled with in bugs, door handles fell off, screens on patio were torn up, there was a pillow case in the closet with blood spots in it along with a dirty shirt. The lighting situation around the houses was bizarre and often long across the room from where the lights were. Bath towels were small and you were allowed only one per guest per visit, toilet paper also limited. There needs to be a list of what you need to bring. Overall, the houses have seen better days and are not very enjoyable to sit outside from. The bridge from the property goes over the road, but it had to. The other reviews from this summer in another site are surprising. Low standards or better condition when they arrived. Will not be back.
