During our stay, we had no challenges besides one tiny misunderstanding. That is why I am giving 5 stars here with confidence as the General Manager, Tran and her assistant Beverly, stepped in and took care of everything the way you expect from top notch hospitality professionals. Way to commit to 100% guest's satisfaction! Especially Beverly, maintained great communication during our stay and really offered top notch personal touch to our wonderful experience. Thank you and see you next time!

It's been awhile since I'd had breakfast here, so I stopped by this morning to give it a shot. What…read morean unpleasant surprise! The hotel public areas are clean and comfortable as you would expect from an upscale hotel but the restaurant leaves much to be desired. Right off, the coffee was old and room temperature. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash browns. Only one biscuit arrived, the other had to be requested. The hash browns were extremely salty. The waiter, who looked like he slept under a nearby bridge, did bring hot coffee and the other biscuit. But this is just something you would expect done right the first time! And to top it off, the cash register was out of order so I had to use a card. Breakfast options in Boerne are few. As much as I like tacos, I can't eat them every day as they pack on the pounds. Sadly, this is another poorly run kitchen that just narrowed my morning restaurant list.

The grounds have lots of friendly animals to interact with. The location feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, yet you're only a few minutes away from Boerne. We enjoyed feeding the goats, donkeys, and pigs. We also participated in a giant tortoise interaction and got to feed and pet him. We were even welcomed by a dancing cockatoo! The bed was super comfortable, and the cabin had everything we needed. The hosts responded quickly whenever we needed anything. We're looking forward to returning to the spot again the next time we need a getaway that feels far away yet is still fairly close to San Antonio.

We did all the activities on the ranch during our long weekend & left with fresh eggs that we plan to hatch!!! The amount of surprises & animals was completely unexpected. It's truly a special place that takes amazing care of their animals & it shows. Right before we left we were able to see something completely amazing: 1 hour old twin Nigerian Dwarf goats still getting birth goop licked up by momma goat! This place is truly a great experience for kids! The first night we did the night adventure hike & walked through splendid & quiet darkness, we were amazed at the tranquility & abundance of stars filling the sky. We found deer poop & learned about venomous spiders, & cacti while finding a live vulture looking down at us! We met super friendly donkeys & horses that didn't want to leave us, they were so super friendly! Our kiddos were allowed to chase a couple of Emus (yeah, that's not a sentence I ever expected to ever write in my life!), those things are so magestic it was amazing to see them running with such easy while our kiddos were so chaotic running behind them lol All this happened in the dark, really cool & such a unique experience! Then we met an arctic fox named Conan. He was just recently rescued so his habitat is getting built while he is in this temp enclosure & the final one will be huge and air conditioned. The mornings were exciting because of the fresh eggs & lively chickens. There is a wonderful array of feathered friends that roam free with the goats through the day, greeting us randomly. We loved how all the animals were given so much free range & were so happy & super friendly! All these rescues truly found the best sanctuary, they are so well cared for! The exotic bird adventure was so much fun for the kids & parents. We got to hold so many parrots & we met the two fun emus again. We got to interact with all the birds as they talked & walked all over us, all so very exciting! Our labradoodle was able to make friends with the local dogs & was able to run off-leash safely behind a huge fenced open space while our kiddos explored the grounds, finding bugs, bones & delighting their imaginations while mommy & daddy relaxed on our lawn chairs so happy for the down time! This place felt so safe for my kids to roam and explore. The petting adventure was so much fun for the kids & parents, we got to meet everyone on the ranch & every adventure is a good length long & we learned so much about every animal thanks to the very professional guide & owner, Micky. We even did the horse riding - all 6 of us got to ride together & enjoyed the peaceful ride with an exciting ending of riding a galloping horse. We all loved it! We left with amazing memories & would recommend this ranch to anyone, especially to those with kids! Vicky & Micky were super accommodating to our constantly changing plans & worked on rearranging our schedules depending on kids' needs. We kept constant communications via text & made sure we had everything we needed down to the pepper, salt & vegetable oil. We absolutely had the most magical experience throughout our 3 night stay, especially with our random goat visits, that was so unique & special! Thank you Vicky & Micky & Amanda & MJ!!

Get here ASAP!!!…read more This place is great, to put it mildly. It's not cheap, but you only live once. Great room and breakfast. Amy is a great host. You may also meet Granny and Martha. All the staff is great. Coffee and tea areas are ready no matter when you get up. Fresh cookies waiting on you. Then breakfast- wow. Actually a bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Sunrise and Sunset rooms. We had the full upper balcony to ourselves. If you get the chance, book it. Also book for a cheese and fruit tray. Just WOW. It was lunch one day. We could not finish it. I cannot fully express how great the setting is and how wonderful the view is from our rooms. Short drive to Fredericksburg or right in Hye to visit William Chris or Garrison Brothers. Don't wait. Go stay with Amy at Rose Manner!!

Very comfortable and enjoyed sitting on the porch with a great view. The included breakfast was good. We got to experience the full breakfast on Sunday morning and the continental breakfast on Monday morning. Both were good at a level you would expect from a place like this. All staff were accommodating. It's a very peaceful setting...nice and quiet. It's a few miles into Fredericksburg, but that's OK to get the rural effect of Rose Hill. We will definitely return, in fact, my wife is planning a stay there with the "girl friends from the Dallas area. It seems a bit pricey, but when you consider any accommodations, you get what you pay for. I recommend Rose Hill Retreat.

The cabin was the perfect size for myself and my dog (they are pet friendly!) but would comfortably house 2 adults. There is a nice kitchenette and bathroom with all the amenities you would need and then some! Stacey was awesome and suggested some of the local restaurants down the road and she was not wrong about how great the pizza at Dough Joe's is! She is a new owner of the property so she is working to make the cabin's her own--which happens to be super cute and country-chic! Bandera is a cute small town with lots of downtown activity, especially on Saturday. There is a nice park along the Medina river that has some great scenery, wildlife, and picnic tables, however the park closes a little early so check times before you go! There are some great places to hike nearby, as well. I took my dog to the Hill Country State Natural Area and they had plenty of easy-difficult hikes depending on what you're looking for. Definitely will be staying here again if I need a getaway to the Hill Country!

The decor kept us busy for days, trying to take it all in. So much to see! The kitchen/dining area are huge, well appointed and perfect for large families. The bedrooms were cozy, with comfortable beds and we slept well both nights. The living room is also large with ample seating and gaming tables for the children/adults to have fun. The outdoor area is the best! The pool was perfect in every way. Sparkling clean water with an giant slide our teens had a blast on. The depth was just for swimming or relaxing, and even had a wading area for smaller children and they even furnish a few floaties, toys and beach towels too. For indoor entertainment, we had a blast watching classic vcr tapes and then switched over to regular cable programs. The have dozens of games & toys for little ones and also equipment like playpen & high chair for babies. There's also an office/library with books, computer & printer. There's a washer/dryer to use and a dishwasher too. The owner has honestly thought of everything to make your vacation as perfect as possible.
