Omi's Bed and Breakfast Farm, Vineyard and Pool, Winter Texans welcome always
About this farm stay rental
This was the home of World Class Tri-Athlete Joanita Reed. She lived here for over 50 years, raising her dogs and chickens, and training for her next competition. She started NBJ School of Swimming in 1964, at this location, and passed the business on to her daughter Nancy Rathburn in 2004. Nancy and her husband Greg, have lived on the farm since 1977, Nancy manages NBJ and Greg is the cook at the Bed and Breakfast. Nancy is assisted by her daughter Jessica. We offer many activities throughout the year, many at no additional charge. In April you can bottle your own wine, we need 60 days advance reservation for this activity. There is always work to be done in the vineyard through out the summer, ie canopy management, weed control. We harvest grapes in August which means hand picking and stomping.The time frame for grape harvest changes with the summer weather, so for exact week you need to check ahead. If you are a hunter or have ever wanted to hunt, September through December are your months. We have deer (bow and rifle),, turkey and dove available, all for no additional cost. Nancy and Jessica are available for private swimming/stroke instruction June through August (call for fees}.

My husband and I found everything to love about this delightful and history-filled farm house! It's charming, pet friendly, very clean, a cozy bed with the devine bedding and pillows, the shower rates a 10, the pool is gorgeous, farm fresh eggs, and a resident outdoor kitty. It's convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, and tons of Texas fun. And the owners, Greg and Nancy, are so welcoming and truly the best hosts. We'll definitely be back!!

Greg and Nancy were so thoughtful and kind. It was a birthday trip for my daughter and we arrived to a large happy birthday banner. They took us to visit their chickens and gathering eggs. The pool was nice and clean; beautifully maintained. It was like staying at a beloved aunt's house. We will definitely go again!

Greg and Nancy were incredible hosts. They checked on us before we arrived, met us at the house when we arrived, checked on us throughout our stay, offered suggestions on where to eat and things to do, and checked on us after we departed. The home has been in the family for decades and well-maintained. It was cozy and convenient to everything we wanted or needed to do in the San Antonio/New Braunfels area. The pool was nice, clean, and inviting. The screened porch overlooking the pool offered a cool retreat from the summer heat. We would not hesitate to stay at Omi’s Place again.

Greg and Nancy were so welcoming and hospitable. This property is outside of town and is a little rustic with all of the modern conveniences. It was so cozy and the decor reminded me of the comfort of my grandmothers’ homes.
Greg keeps the pool immaculate and it was nice to just be able to relax. While this was a getaway for me and my husband, a family would also be very comfortable here. There is plenty to do.
We also appreciated the dog friendliness and being able to bring our dogs. They had never seen chickens before and were fascinated by them.
If you want to decompress with low stress, this is a great option!
5.0
Nothing but great things to say about our stay. Hosts were attentive but not overbearing. Beautiful property, home, pool and close enough to SA and NB to be convenient but far enough out to have true peace and privacy. We will return and hopefully stay longer.

The check in was easy as Greg and Nancy were there to walk us through the home. The pool and screened in area were nice!
However, the cleanliness of this property was alarming. Most of the dishes/utensils had old food stuck to them. The only thing we used were the pans (but had to scrub them); otherwise we used paper products that we bought.
The toilet was filthy.
It was hard to relax at times because it was so dirty. And i felt i wanted to clean. Which i did do some of but it was not comfortable there for this reason. We spent a lot of time outside.
My son did enjoy feeding the chickens.
If we come back to the area we will not stay here again.

Greg and Nancy are amazing hosts! Super accommodating, very welcoming and extremely thoughtful.
Their place has everything a family of four traveling with two children under three years old could ever need. Pack n play, high chair, and stroller made traveling to the destination much lighter.
Spent most of our time in the children’s pool which was a perfect height for our 2.5 year old. She loved the freedom of walking et swimming in the pool.
She enjoyed the countless toys to play with, feeding chickens, et we even found a book which saved bedtime (forgot to pack ours) because we always read a few books before bed.
30 minutes to San Antonio et 10 minute drive to the Natural Bridge Caverns which were the highlight of our trip.
You can have both at Omi’s Place lazy days by the pool et venturing out to experience the many attractions of Texas.

I cannot give enough praise for our stay at Omi's bed and breakfast. We stayed 43 days and enjoyed every minute. It's nicely situated 20 miles out of san Antonio. Close enough to enjoy everything San Antonio has to offer and yet its out in the country. Greg and Nancy Are the most gracious Hosts one could imagine. They gave us excellent info on all things to do in the area. The home is very well equipped. The living room has very comfortable leather furniture. Wifi was excellent. We didn't miss anything that we had at home. Beautiful screened porch overlooking a huge pool. We were there in the spring and the pool is not heated, but that didn't keep my wife from going in when it was in the high 80's. The chickens were fun. We already signed up for a return trip next year.

This is exactly what we needed. The hosts were extremely accommodating and are both very gracious people. We weren't able to check in until 9pm but both hosts were there upon arrival to help with us with checking in.
We brought our two dogs and they had the best time! They both were allowed in the pool which was one of the highlights of our stay! We also got to watch the hangliders each morning which was also really cool!
Overall I would recommend this stay for anyone and maybe one day we will get to revist!

There is no way to describe this property to give it full credit for how wonderful it is! Nancy and Greg met us at check in as if we were long lost family. Their friendliness and overwhelming concern for our comfort was outstanding. The private pool, the vineyards, the beautiful and comfortable home made this trip one for the record books! We hope to be able to return again soon! Thank you Nancy and Greg for being such amazing hosts and sharing your piece of paradise with us!

We rented this home to visit our son who lives in San Antonio and we had a wonderful time. The grandkids visited and had alot of fun in the wading and swimming pools.
We fed the chickens, ate fresh eggs for breakfasts, played games and listened to music on the screened in porch, swam, sunbathed, grilled our dinners and so much more. There is plenty of seating areas on the porch and near the pool. This is a dog friendly home!
Dont pack swim towels or alot of clothing because they have
several beach towels and a washer and dryer. Kitchen has plenty of dishes, pots/pans, microwave, Keurig and coffee pot. You even have a second frig on the porch near the pool and grill.
NOTE: It is clearly listed that there is no dishwasher. We dont mind washing the dishes, BUT if you do, plan ahead and bring disposable plates, cups and silverware.
Greg and Nancy are wonderful hosts and are quick to respond to any questions. You will have a great time here!

We had a great time. Greg and Nancy were super accommodating. I was so impressed that they even had bumpers set up on the twin bed for the three-year-old. They even got a pack n play so our baby would have a place to sleep.
My only wish would have been having a dishwasher and for the bathroom to have been a bit cleaner- but neither would keep me from booking again. The pool was awesome and location was great.

10/10 would recommend!
Mr. Greg and Mrs. Nancy were both very welcoming hosts! They accommodated to all of our needs, the place was very clean, and they were helpful with all of our questions. I really enjoyed when they both provided us with a fire for s’mores as well as the stuff to make them. 10 out of 10 would recommend to others and will definitely be back!

This place deserves 10+ stars, but I want to give this a 0 star so that no one else will want to stay here and I can keep it to myself!!! Our hosts went above and beyond during our short stay. I am planning a longer trip here in the near future! Loved it here!

Even in the cooler months this is still a great place to relax.
The pool was cold given the weather but it did not stop our kids from playing in it.
Can’t wait to come back.
