Our entire family really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property grounds and the private access to the river was amazing!

We are so very appreciative to have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful property on the pristine Sabinal River. The house was very comfortable and spacious and we loved that the kitchen/dining area faced out to the absolutely breathtakingly beautiful bank of the river. We enjoyed the rope swing and lots of swimming and the bird-watching was amazing (lots of hummingbirds). Deer were plenty, too. Absolutely would stay here again. We didn't want to leave!!

We had such a great time here! The property was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The host was friendly and responsive, and check-in was easy. We loved spending time at the river and relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. The kitchen was large and well equipped, and the entire property felt welcoming and well cared for.It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. We made some wonderful memories during our stay and would definitely return in the future.

I do not often give outstanding reviews of anything but La Hacienda deserves it. I first stayed at this property 10 years ago when it was under different management. Steve, the new manager, is a wonderful human and gave great service and knowledge of the local area. You know how you can't ever capture the majesty of mountains in a photograph? It's the same here; the pictures promise a delightful stay, but when you are there, it's so much nicer and peaceful than the pictures convey.The river is swimming depth year-round, and my friends and I had fun on the rope swing and hanging out at different areas on the grounds all with some great natural beauty. This house and its grounds are large enough that, I suspect, even if there were 20 people here, one could find a comfortable moment of aloneness in nature. clean hot tub kitchen is very well stocked strong wifi (but I recommend putting screens down while here!) fish, deer, rabbits, and more wildlife galore cool, shaded riverThe only minus I can think is that the porch railing all along the backside is in need of repair. If you lean on it, the entire railing bends; we thought it would break when 2 people leaned on it at the same time. I am confident that Steve is the kind of person who would take this seriously, and if he deems it unsafe, he will take care of it.Overall, this is a rare and true gem among Hill Country properties; take it from this native Texan and Hill Country enthusiast. Thanks, Steve!
