This was such a wonderful place for our family vacation. The location is so peaceful and the ranch was just perfect for quiet time spent with family. David was so kind and explained how the ranch operates, gave us a tour, and responded quickly to our questions. We enjoyed exploring the property, playing with the goats, swimming in the pool, playing basketball and the many other games available in the game room. This will certainly be one of our favorite trips! The house was so unique and had everything we needed. And, we LOVED Katy, the cattle dog. She greeted us each morning and kept us company each day. I can't recommend this property enough!

This property is probably one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. Beautiful location, great proximity to the city, such a fun home to stay in. The hosts were incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions and communicated clearly the check in and out process. If we ever come back to San Antonio we will absolutely be staying here!

This property was everything it said it was and more. We had a fantastic time in the game room playing pool and we enjoyed exploring around the property. The swimming pool was so nice and bigger than it looked in the pictures. We looked forward to Katy greeting us and David was a fantastic host. We did not get to meet Athena but we definitely plan to be back and stay here again. You will not be disappointed. We stayed in the master bedroom with the huge shower and the bedroom walked out to the back patio where we would sit in the morning to have a cup of coffee and take in the beautiful landscape. Our friends stayed in the other bedroom with the king size bed and they had a very nice bathroom with a soaking tub. We even got to go see the goats and cows. What a peaceful place to stay. Thank you so much!!!

Property is tucked away and definitely makes you feel like you're out of the city. Very quaint and rustic with lots of fun activities to do on the property.

Second year staying at the ranch for our kids' spring break, per their request :) Same fantastic experience!

Our family enjoyed getting away for our spring break. We loved everything about this place. Our children took a dip is pool and loved exploring the property. David was very accommodating and lent us some flour when we forgot it for our breakfast. The gameroom was well stocked with board games and books.

We came for a wedding at Park 31. The house was very clean and well stocked. Owner was very helpful and friendly. The cows were great but Katie stole the show.

This property does not disappoint. It's even better than the pictures show. The setting is off the beaten path and quiet & peaceful. Katy, the cattle dog, greets you & instantly becomes your friend. It's conveniently located if you're planning to visit San Antonio, Gruene, Fredericksburg or Boerne. The main section of the building is great with the kitchen, dining & living room and each of the 2 bedrooms has it's own bath and the bunk house also has a bathroom. We made it easily work even with 7 women! The beds were all very comfy. The game room has everything for all ages and was a great spot to hang out in the evening. This was our second stay and I hope to be back again. The hosts are wonderful and immediately respond if you need anything.

Overall very satisfactory.

We really enjoyed our stay at Oden Ranch. The guest house was very comfortable and a great home base for our family while in Texas attending our niece’s wedding near by. David was very helpful and accommodating. Anni Pat and Chris McKenney

David & Athena were so welcoming. They greeted us upon arrival and gave us the tour and all that their property had to offer. We enjoyed talking to them and learning their story so much that we felt like we were visiting family. House was amazing, just perfect for 11 girlfriends celebrating 39 years of friendhips. The house was clean, water was hot for showering, lots of games, clean towels, plenty of ice, a game room We loved being able to float in the their pool and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Amazing with wild flowers, hummingbirds, butterflies and of course Katie the dog and Pearl the cat. We definitely recommend this house and would love to go back any time. Thank you so much! Cara, Jackie, Julie, Jody, Lindsay, Liz, Robin, Rizpah, Bonnie, Tonya & Sheryl.

We had a great time on the ranch! Our hosts were nothing but nice and accommodating. We felt right at home in our beautiful accommodations. Purchase a black light on Amazon so you can see the scorpions at night! We had a lot of fun finding them! Check out texastubes.com and float the Colam river. We also went to canyon lake and the water was nice and warm. The pool is a lot bigger then it looks online. A baby calf was born shortly after we arrived and was a nice surprise.

The Oden Ranch was an awesome place to stay. It was perfect for our group of 7. We had plenty of room to spread out and everyone do their own thing, while also being close to each other. The pool and the game room were our favorite to hang out at. The owner's house is right next to the property, but we felt like they respected our privacy, but were also there if we needed them. David and Athena were super responsive and helpful. Great location too! You're near a few wineries and about 35 minutes from San Antonio and 1-1.5 hours from Austin. We loved being able to see the stars at night and also view some wildlife too!

Loved our stay at Oden Ranch! Beautiful property, amazing hosts and close proximity to San Marcos, Gruene, Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Austin, Luckenbach, wimberly and dripping springs!! We loved the farmhouse charm and all amenities of this property!! Looking forward to returning soon!

We couldn’t have loved our stay more. Comfortable house in beautiful surroundings that is still close enough to enjoy excursions around town. The owners made us feel so welcome from the start and the house had everything we needed and more. The pool is amazing and was bigger in person that we thought it seemed online. The game room was a hit with all 4 of our children and us too. We loved feeding the goats and cows and touring the property. The kitchen was great to cook in and had all the essentials. Everything about our stay was wonderful! True Texas treasure

Magnificent country retreat with great access to both San Antonio/Seaworld (1hr) and New Braunfels/Family (40 min). The property was beautifully manicured inside and out. The pool was our 4 year old's favorite and the cow dog and goats were enjoyed by our 6 year old. The kids vacation with us every summer and seemed to enjoy this property the most completed with tree swing, hammock, and plenty of places to play hide & seek.

This was a great location for a small family gathering. We had so much fun. Great accommodati

The house was perfect for our family as well as the location. Just a hop skip in a jump from everywhere we wanted to go, but lots to do without going anywhere. The hosts are wonderful and are available whenever you have a question! We would definitely return!

We had a delightful stay at this beautiful property. The owners were extremely helpful and communication was prompt with information and answers to any of our questions. The home was fully stocked with any item we might have needed. The area is close to a few towns yet secluded enough to never hear a passing vehicle. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

We reserved this property as it was near the venue for our nephew’s wedding. Our entire family enjoyed the unique experience of staying at a real ranch. It is a beautiful setting, the accommodations were perfect, and the owners were extremely attentive and helpful. We’ll be back!

Beautiful property and welcoming owners. The guest was very well equipped with more than everything we needed for our long weekend stay!

The ranch and property is beautiful. The listing and photos are spot on. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing time, using all the amenities, with plenty of room to spread out. David and Athena were responsive, welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, it's history and unique features. Their love of the property and it's preservation shows in spades. We would love to come back!

Thank You for a wonderful stay at the Oden Ranch. We loved all of the spaces perfect For family together time including our walks , outdoor games and game room. Thank You for making a stay a fun and memorable one.

Beautiful property. Very clean. Hosts were amazing. Home is lovely. Game room was a big hit with my kids. We could have stayed forever!

Property is very nice. Owners are great. A/C broke first day but owners had it fixed the next day on New Years day and even gave a partial refund. They really went out of their way to make us feel at home. Owner let the grandkids feed the cows and goats. Overall it was a great stay. Only thing I wish I could change is how far away it is. I would definitely stay here again.

We just returned from a 4 night stay on property and what a unique place it is to stay. Everything went very smooth with check in. There is an abundance of wildlife on property and surrounding. The house has plenty of room and the game room was great for night time or bad weather. The time spent there will not soon be forgotten and the stars at night are incredible. They have everything one would need or want on property and were very accommodating. Would stay there again in a heart beat!

Our friends and family group had a wonderful time here. The home had every convenience and comfort we needed and then some. The hosts focused on giving us privacy but responded to texts promptly, were able to give suggestions for activities in the area, and were very friendly. We loved their sweet dog, Katie, and the resident donkey named Marfa. The pool was like none we had every seen. This was a weekend of resting, relaxing, and fun!

The communication, attention to detail, and amenities were all outstanding. The pictures and online description don't do the home justice. Everything was beyond expectation. The kids loved the game room and pool, while my husband and I enjoyed relaxing on the back porch or by the fire pit. The road to the main gate provided a nice, relaxing walk in the morning or evening and offered some beautiful scenery. We enjoyed meeting the cows, goats and donkey along the way. And of course, we all LOVED meeting Katie, who was a perfect ranch dog host. The kitchen was well stocked, and basic toiletries were provided, which was a nice touch.

This property was amazing & just what we were looking for! It’s off the beaten path and private which made it so relaxing. The property has everything you could ask for including a game room, pool & firepit. Sitting on the pack porch with a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine was a great way to begin or end the day. David & Athena are gracious hosts and Katy the cow dog helped to make the stay extra special.We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time! It is perfect for all types of family, from swimming, exploring the beautiful grounds, the totally fun game room with all that you would want to do, and more. The butterfly gardens everywhere and of course the animals. Wonderfully sweet Katy who will be your best friend and then the kids loved the goats, donkey and the opportunity to explore all over. Beautifully decorated and very organized, easy to find all that you would need. In the evenings we enjoyed the fire pit to visit and the kids doing smores. I will be going back!

We spent two nights at this property and it had everything we needed. The property was very clean, quiet, and had all of the amenities we needed to relax. I was quite impressed with the pool design, which was remarkably ideal for small children, as it had very large terraced steps that gave the littles lots of safe space to wade around in. We also enjoyed regular visits from the cows passing by our windows. The game room provided endless entertainment, especially when we had a few hours of rain. Katy (the canine hostess with the mostest) made my children feel super welcome and comfortable. We appreciated the attentiveness of the host, David, who would check in via text periodically to make sure we had what we needed and was quick to answer our questions. We especially appreciated that he respected a contactless experience in the midst of the pandemic. He is a super nice and has done a beautiful job creating a inviting, welcoming and fun space for guests! We didn't want to leave and would definitely go back!

Awesome
