Beautiful property was perfect for our big family. Lots of room to get ready for a wedding and play outside. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate but this would be a great summer vacation or family reunion accommodation. Would love to know the history of the compound.

80 yr birthday family gathering

The property was groomed very nicely with beautiful scenic views. The main home and cottages were updated and very clean. For a home rental that housed 22 guests, the kitchen was a bit small and limited on cool air flow, could use a second handy fridge and larger dining seating area. We like to sit together as a family and break bread. The back porch is lovely space for a small group with ceiling fans. We had fantastic weather in July! Would definitely rent this again.

What an amazing property! We recently stayed with a total of 15 family members for a Celebration of Life weekend, and this venue was perfect! We played pickleball, ping pong, corn hole, lots of board games, and spent hours and hours in the pool. We all had plenty of space and gathered centrally for meals in the main ranch house and on the spacious porch. We shopped in San Marcos for groceries on the way in, and never left the property again! It had everything we needed and so much space for the kids to run and play, although mostly they wanted to swim . The beds and pillows were comfortable, each of the houses had a drip coffee maker, and we loved being serenaded by the songbirds every morning. Using the Merlin app, we heard 19 different birds one morning! We also enjoyed the butterfly garden and the longhorn cattle on the adjacent land, and the occasional deer. Perhaps most importantly, the AC worked on a hot July weekend. When we arrived, the main ranch house was warm, and we were concerned that there might be a problem, but overnight it eventually cooled down and stayed cool for the rest of the weekend. Overall we are very happy we had the opportunity to stay here!

This was such a beautiful property! Each place to stay had everything we needed and more. Our team-building weekend was a success with basketball play, a pickleball tournament, relaxing pool time & evenings at the fire pit with s’mores! I was so impressed with the kitchen & bar areas. We brought kitchen things with us for cooking meals (you never know when you’re renting), but nothing was needed! It was all provided! Our whole group enjoyed the weekend! Thank you!

Great rental for a group. Pool and amenities are very good. Nice bar area but wine refrigerator is not very cold, please ask about this if you want to stash chilled beverages there. Property is beautiful and well-kept. There are a couple of very nice outside cats running around, not a problem for me, but think twice if someone in your group is deathly allergic. All in all, our group was very pleased. Would stay here again.

Great Experience at Stone Haven Ranch

We were interested in a place that had room for our family of 22 adults, teens and children. We hoped for a retreat from the busyness of our lives and time to be together. We needed to cook together and play games together, be in a pool together. We also wanted access to grocery shopping, cafes, museums and outdoor activities.This VRBO was ideal for all of this. We loved our stay!

Perfect Reunion House

We had an amazing long weekend at Stonehaven. There was was plenty of room for the 12 adults and 8 kids that came. It’s close enough to town for grocery runs but far enough to feel like you’re on your own ranch. The private houses made naps east for the little ones.

Hill country stay

The property itself was perfect for our large family. Plenty of space and well maintained and pretty much everything we wanted. The only disappointment was the pickleball courts. One had very large cracks and was unplayable and potentially dangerous. The other court had many cracks but not as large and we used that one.

Incredible property - Great for Retreats!

We used this property as a location for a small couples retreat, and it was absolutely perfect! The location is nestled in a beautiful hill country setting, and we had everything we needed to make the weekend special and memorable for everyone that came. We loved using the firepit, and we had everything we needed to cook and eat some delicious meals. There was also a lot of room around the property to roam around and experience some peace & calm. The bedrooms were spacious and had everything we needed for a relaxing, clean, and cozy time away from the city. We will definitely be booking this place again for future events. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us!
