Amazingly wonderful home

Property was very clean and much larger than I expected. Stayed with family and a friend with her husband and two grandchildren. I couldn’t say enough about this beautiful property and spectacular views. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had and we were impressed with their promptness.

Even better in person!!

This place was awesome. Plenty of room for our party of 13. The pool and hot tub were so cool to enjoy on a hot day with one of the best views I’ve seen in central Texas. We wouldn’t look anywhere else if coming back to this area.

Great property, great people

This property is awesome. It's great for families and large groups of friends. There is a lot to keep everyone entertained and the morning and evening views are a great way to start/end the day. Shiloh and the management are great people and super responsive.

Hill Country Awesomeness!

We booked our stay at Rimrock Ranch property, but due to a minor pool issue, we stayed at Bendigo Ranch. Our stay was fabulous and Shiloh with Vacation Property Masters provided outstanding service! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic family time

We rented the house for a place to be while my son and his new bride got married in San Marcos. The house was beautiful and plenty of room for everyone. My only concern was there were no dressers in the bedrooms to put our clothes away. We were there for nearly a week and would highly recommend. Definitely will look to booking this again if we head back to Hill country in Texas. The views were out of this world. It certainly was the icing on the cake to a very wonderful wedding with family.

Ridge View

It was a great house with amazing view. We were disappointed that the pool was not maintained (very cloudy water). We would have liked to have used it since the temps were in the nineties. If the pool would have been clean it would have definitely been a 5 star review.

Perfect location for a Hill Country family reunion

We booked a trip with family from around the country to spend a long weekend in the Hill Country. This property was perfect. Centrally located with easy access to the rivers, Austin, New Braunfels, and Canyon Lake. The property also had plenty of room for all 9 people and enough onsite amenities that a few times we decided to just cancel plans and stay in. The home came fully stocked with supplies, and furniture/bedding was clean and comfortable. Communication with the property managers was easy and all information was provided promptly. I highly recommend this location and we wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Amazing views

We had a great time, loved the character of the over 100yrs old house but with modern amenities. Also made great use of the pool, jacuzzi and especially the game room. But most of all the views are spectacular from all patios as well as most bedrooms. Had some small unwanted visitors in the house but got rid of them with broom and vacuum cleaner. This is normal in the hillcountry. Loved the property!

No wedding

We had originally booked for a wedding and was called off. We decided to go anyway and celebrate with the bride-not-to-be. Outstanding time had by all. Rooms and house were very accommodating. We had ages from 5-90 and everyone was well pleased. Thank you! Thank you

Family Escape

There were 3 generations of family, ages 11 months to 77 years, from Albuquerque, San Sntonio, Bulverde, and Boerne. We had a ball in the pool and game room. The kitchen was big enough for several of us to be cooking at once, and we cooked every day. Beds were very comfortable and AC worked great. As warned in advance, we did have 3 scorpion encounters, but we got them before they got us. We saw a porcupine the first night and a fix our second morning. We did not use the hot tub. The lid was full of rainwater on the half with the controls and the color of the water was not inviting, but the pool was great. The little ones loved the wading pool. Thanks for a great stay. Just an FYI, the beverage fridge in the pantry never seemed to get cool.

Fabulous House!

Our friend group of 25 years meets annually for a weekend get away. Everyone loved this house! It is 120 years old, but it is in excellent condition and beautiful! We were still noticing gorgeous details in all the rooms up until the last day. The view from the back of the house is spectacular. The game room is amazing, and we had so much fun playing shuffleboard and pool.

Four couples shared the home during New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. The amenities with the outdoor grill and hot tub are great but it was the location that made the whole weekend.
