Hansel & Gretel Charming Cabin @ HomeAway Ranch & NoahSanctuary - Pet friendly!

We had a cabin with a full kitchen to ourselves for what would have been the price of a hotel! We got to bring our 2 dogs with us for a minimal fee, the location was incredibly beautiful and the animals on the property were so friendly. We had donkeys, goats and a pot belly pig walk up to our cabin and our puppy.

This was a very enjoyable time for myself to unwind. I loved the remoteness of it, even the lack of cell service was actually very nice. I was able to easily communicate with the hosts through phone and there were a few minor hiccups but sometimes life is just life :) over all I had a great time and really enjoyed the animals and the quiet. I plan to come back often if finances allow.

NO COMMUNICATION FROM THE OWNERS. PAID ALL UP FRONT. DID NOT RECEIVE INFO FOR GATE CODE OR SERVICES. ARRIVED AT DESTINATION HOPING I WOULD SEE THEM IN PERSON. (NOPE). CALLED REPEATEDLY. NO ANSWER. EXCUSES AFTER EXCUSES. THEN OF COURSE I GET A SOB STORY.AGAIN. DO NOT RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE.

The Hone Away Ranch is such a beautiful place to escape the city life. Vicky and Micky are wonderful hosts and take great care of all their beautiful animals! We plan to keep returning and supporting the wild life preserve.

We could have had an awful experience, driving up into the Hills with the crazy Christmas weather that hit the states this last weekend. But we didn’t. Vicky and Micki were amazing hosts, communicating the status of electricity and the water as they not only set space for their inbound guests, but managed a fully functioning farm. We had a great time!? We had a great start with a walk about the farm meeting the goats and donkey’s before enjoying the sunset down with a friendly horse visit. We had a short power outage that evening, the cabin was actually pretty comfortable. We stayed warm with the extra blankets and had our propane stove with us to heat up some gluhwein we had gotten from Fredericksburg. Vicki messaged us updates about the power, luckily an easy fix. Please note she also did offer a larger meeting space access for our comfort, we chose to stay in Hansel. Her husband had brought us a dozen eggs (I had asked about them prior to our arrival) The eggs were very fresh! There really is a difference, breakfast was a great start after waking up to watch the sunrise on the front picnic table. We got lucky with all the sunshine making for a great hike at Guadalupe River SP and the town of Boerne was adorable. So many pet friendly spaces. My husband enjoyed the front porch rocker and the sunset with our pup while we had a visit from the new next cabin neighbor. Our Christmas Eve dinner was easily made with all of the items available in the kitchen. The fold out table was perfect for the two of us! The bathroom space is small, but the shower stall was fine for my 6’ husband (note the H & C are reversed). If you like a firm mattress, maybe try the pull out? We felt the bed was a bit soft, but I think we can sleep on the floor comfortably. For us this was the perfect quiet, away from people getaway. We did not request any of the meals or horse rides so no input on any of that. Having two nights and leaving Christmas morning was the perfect escape we needed for our holiday, to be able to disconnect and relax together in such a quiet and peaceful space. We can’t thank our hosts enough.

The owners, the animals are all amazing,. the friendliness and tours that we selected were so special to our family. We will be back and will be bringing more family with us.

We have stayed at lots of vrbo's and this one I feel was very misleading. They said their was a small fee for the activities but it wasn't. After spending the amount on the cabin and cost of traveling, you would think they would be reasonable. We were told they would bring us a grill and said their was a firepit but we didn't have one. The next morning I was about to cook breakfast and the toilet stopped up and came up through the shower and the kitchen sink. My husband tried plunging the toilet but it wasn't helping. We got pretty grossed out and decided to go ahead and leave as we were starving. We left by 10:30 Sunday morning. Didn't feel it was very sanitary. On another note, I thought the hills on the property were very pretty. Paid for 2 nights but only stayed one. I'm not one to complain but we just didn't have a good experience!!!

I bought this trip for my daughter and her boyfriend as a surpise birthday gift. We selected all the activities (the horseback riding, the aviary, and the farm tour) and they loved it. The setting was so idyllic and relaxing (despite my daughter's fear of Emu's and a Macaw trying to seduce her boyfriend) That they couldn't stop talking about it. We kept the whole weekend a secret from them and told Mickey and Vickey that it was a surprise and that we were hoping the bf would take advantage of the weekend and propose. Not only did the hosts go above and beyond with the room, they were gracious enough to allow my husband and I to come up a few days before to drop off a bday gift for my daughter and show us around the property. When their trip was over, Mickey and Vickey even reached out to me to make sure they had a good time and ask whether or not they did get engaged (SPOILER ALERT: THEY DID!!!!) I can't believe how they went above and beyond to make this weekend special for my baby girl and her fiance.

There are not enough words to describe our stay at this property. Such a beautiful place with several cabin options to choose from. Enjoyed not being right on top of each other/other travelers. Thoroughly enjoyed all the farm animals and their daily visits to our cabin. We also enjoyed a private horseback riding adventure guided by the owner. Both owners were readily available should you need ANYTHING. We will be planning another trip out soon to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thanks to the beautiful owners for sharing this little getaway with us. They’re very special people

Everything was supper clean , staff is super friendly and accommodating. The managers text me every day when I was here too see if we need anything. Love this place . The animals in the property are well taken care of . It’s an amazing place to get away

So nice.
