About this property

MegaCabin on a 40-Acre Wildlife Preserve, Exotic Animal Sanctuary & Horse Ranch

We regret to inform you that due to a momentary glitch in VRBO system, your total pricing does not reflect the $100 per stay Cleaning fee nor $40 per guest/per night after first 2 people (not included in base rent)

Pets are very welcome but do we do require a $50 fee per pet ( horse boarding available as well

NEW / IMPORTANT HEALTH PREFACE: We proudly say up front that we take very seriously our responsibility to do everything within our reach to keep everyone as safe and healthy as we can, while you have a relaxing, health-building and fun time with us!. This includes:

First of all : We have 9 cabins & 2 Suites for rent which are all private and spaced apart in middle of 40 acres of woods & fields - so plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors without any human contact. Then, all cooking can be done in cabin and/or on grills we provide, so no need to go to any restaurants...

ALL "EXTRA FUN ACTIVITIES" ARE SAFE: Animal Adventures and Horseback Riding activities have been modified so they are totally"private" - just for you, by reservation and conducted outdoors and at "safe-distance"...

Upon each checkout, we ask all guests to cooperate in "safe-stay" procedures with 3 simple steps: (1) wash their dishes wi/disinfecting soap provided, (2) put linens in plastic bags we provide, (3) drop off all garbage at your dumpster nearby.

Then we come in w/face masks and spray every single surface with organic disinfectant and let the cabin air out while it takes effect, then clean with disinfectant soap. All laundry is separately bagged and separately washed & dried in high heat. After cabins have been all cleaned out, we re-set beds with fresh linens and towels, new trash bags, cleaned / disinfected ac filters and filled up new coffee condiments. A final disinfecting of floors and doors are locked so no one can come in till you get here.

Our location is also ideal: Only 5 minutes from main street Boerne & close to San Antonio, yet it feels like you're a million miles away in this wonderful wooded ranch where great views of beautiful nature, unique art, your favorite music, decks, BBQ pits, smokers & BBQ grills, pick nick areas, fire pits, wood burning fireplace in the great room, horseback riding (additional discounted fee) & the best darn cooking you ever, dinners, lunches, etc. are also available a-la-carte (additional price and by reservation-only) converge to create an unforgettable getaway as well as convenient vacation-hub. Please feel free to ask us for package pricing to rent the whole house (sleeps 8-10 people) or the whole complex (6 bedrooms sleeps 18-20 people), or the whole ranch ( sleeps 50 to 60 people)

4 lovely themed rooms to choose from (price per bedroom, double occupancy applies) : 'Ropes & Roses:' With grandma's brass queen-sized bed surrounded by country & western antiques & original paintings of roses from 4 countries, or 'The Room For The Performing Arts' filled with antique instruments, artists' memorabilia, artwork from 5 countries, antique album covers (oh yeah, forgot to mention there's an antique record player in the great room) & a 'smart' entertainment system (Both rooms have their own smart TV & DVR) - either room for $150 per night... Or you can go for 'The Kiss' the romantic master bedroom - As the name implies, every work of art is tasteful yet sensuous, gorgeous carved Italian 4-poster bed with brand new $2,000 Therapeutic top-of-the-line mattress that vibrates, changes positions, etc. for an unbeatable relaxation, huge smart TV/DVR with full cable & a big private bath 'The Ocean' with sunken tub overlooking the woods (plus separate shower) & another dozen original paintings of the ocean to transport your imagination... 4th bedroom is a "family Room: Full bed below and twin above.

Want to bring family or your best friends? Take over the whole house!
Plus, you can have the chefs at your beck & call... wifi throughout, latest smart 3-D big screen, DVD & cable (wanna watch your favorite sports or a romantic movie?) in the great room & master bedroom, dining & sitting area for 10 at the the chef's table + 20 on the main deck , oven, + microwave and 5-burner flat-top stove in the extra-sized country kitchen if you are inclined to 'do it yourself', please contact us for more information. Regardless of whether you stay for a night in one room or take over the whole thing, when you see it you will agree it's a really a one-of-a-kind deal!

We show our appreciation for your service with discounts to teachers/professors, all military and law enforcement (Please contact us for more info).

Location? Great for your San Antonio, New Braunfels and/or Hill Country vacation hub: 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 & 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.

You might ask...Why so much art? For many years we have traveled many places in the world collecting art & music along the way and now that we retired, our treasures have finally found their 'home'.
Come enjoy of a great experience with us and we will ensure you have a cherished memory to remember for the rest of your life.

Your Inn-keepers, Vicky & Micky.

Looking to return!
We came to the area for a family wedding and i had no idea all the available activites that were available on the property. Even i had this trip, we were consumed that weekend with the wedding at another venue. We are planning to return to the area in the summer with grandchildren to experience all they have to offer, please do your research to all the opportunities! The cabin was immaculate and newly remodeled. Only concern was that it wasnt the cabin i thought we would be staying in so be sure! Micky was easy to get ahold of and came straight over to replace a battery in the fire alarm and was so helpful in sharing places to eat dinner at the evening before the wedding :) Definitely will go again.

Beautiful and relaxing.
This place is just absolutely beautiful. If you love animals, this is the place to go. They are everywhere and very friendly. The owners were very nice and helpful. The cabin was just what we were looking for a getaway. The ranch is in very close to Boerne and a couple of vineyards. We will definitely come back.

Amazing!
Vicky and Mickey are the BEST! What a beautiful location to enjoy the family with friendly animals, nature and extraordinary kindness. Having stayed at many commercial resorts, Home away from Home beats any of them with their extreme genuine attention given to each guest to make sure they are happy. The activities are a must... whether it is horseback riding, shooting, or a night hike, you will walk away more confident in your new abilities and talents thanks to Mickey. The meals are Delicious! Vicky can take you around the world with her knowledge of different countries and their relationship with food. The ingredients are natural and healthy to make a wonderful pairing of dishes! We cannot wait to visit again! Thank You Mickey and Vicky...you truly have created a masterpiece!

Best Vacation Ever!
I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Home Away Ranch. Micky and Vicky were amazing hosts and super helpful throughout the planning process. The house was gorgeous and set on an amazing 30-acre ranch with all assortments of friendly animals. I recommend doing every activity that is offered on the ranch, they are all wildly educational and fun due to Mickys amazing personality. Horse riding is a must, especially for beginners. Overall, it was one of the best vacations I have taken with my family, and fun for all ages. Although it may initially seem on the more expensive side, it is well, well worth it. Thank you Micky and Vicky for an amazing time!
