I even hear it's been a movie set a time or two. Wow! First time here was way back in 2002 for an event during the 15th Annual International Nissan Z Car Club Convention. Second was in 2018 for Old West Christmas Light Fest which was such a lovely event with all the lights at night and fire pits for s'mores. Third time is a charm in 2019 for both a private event in Dec during their light fest. I really do enjoy here, love the atmosphere on the ranch, and the friendliness of the owners and staff. Enchanted Springs is a perfect setting for a true Old West / Texas experience event. Everything included, even some live Longhorn cattle can be found around these parts. Yee Haw!

There was also a lemonade bar of various flavors. I heard the strawberry was pretty good. DJ on the stage. The buffet-style meal was comprised of sliced Turkey, brisket (a little too fatty), hash brown-like potatoes, green beans, rolls and butter. Standard Christmas party fare. Not terrible, not delicious. A trick roper entertained us. He was pretty good. During the holiday season, they have a light show at night.

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. We enjoyed feeding the goats, donkeys, and pigs. We also participated in a giant tortoise interaction and got to feed and pet him. We were even welcomed by a dancing cockatoo! 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!!

You can do some grape stomping there too, but I think it's only earlier in the day or on special occasions. Lots of animals and exotics on the property: camels, ostrich, zebras, donkeys, horses, goats, ducks, chickens, alpacas, and buffalo. We went there for a Kentucky Derby Race Party. We were able to do the wine tasting and eat at one of the food trucks on the property. We watched a polo match, but unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the hot air balloon rise due to the weather. They had a VIP farm to table dinner party in the back which looked like fun. I heard that the tickets for the dinner were about $200.

Their Terrace Grill has excellent, farm fresh food. They try and use the resources they have on the ranch including their own beef cattle, and fruits and vegetables.

They have a pool and Guadalupe River access also if that's your thing. If you want a quiet, relaxing getaway, this is the place to go.

The king size room is carpeted with a marble bathroom floor, large shower (no tub), one multi usb port and high ceilings. It would've been nice to have a ceiling fan instead of the odd gold clunky light fixture. We decided to come here for a Monday night getaway which means the rates are probably less, but many businesses in the area are not open on a Monday or Tuesday. Getting a room here requires no face-to-face time, everything is done online where they'll text you a key code for your room door, no key card. Our short stay here was in a good size room with quiet cool AC and a comfy bed with 4 over stuffed pillows. I was disappointed in the fact the room had no mini fridge, just a Keurig (no microwave either). You'll need to bring an ice chest if you want cold drinks, etc.. They do have a hospitality room with a microwave, but our room code did not work to access it We got the Bakery Lorraine (see seperate review) breakfast package thinking it was in the immediate area not a half mile walk away. It was a good breakfast, but I recommend driving there since there's enough parking, otherwise skip this option. When it comes time to check out, you just send a text that you're leaving to the original text. It's as quick as that. Next time, we'll probably make it a Wednesday through Saturday stay when everything is open. You really can't beat the location, which the price of the room reflects. Check out the bill and photos below.
