Cool Getaway for any Age Group or Family

First off, Per the Review Tips and Guidelines. One exception to the accuracy of the property, The Hammock was not up for our stay however it was early in the summer. Photos didn't do the property justice. It was better than the photos. Property was clean and maintained. Owner was more than helpful. Myself and 8 others all went to this property and all were very pleased with everything about it. The owner(s) were sincere, nice, and easy to deal with for all questions, payment arrangements, etc... I'd recommend to a friend in an instance. We were all in our late 20's and Early 30's. You have enough space to get loud if you so please to, and enough space that the silence is heard from all sides of the house. It's the best thing we did while in San Antonio for 6 weeks of training. It was approx. 30min from Lackland, AFB and with horrible traffic, approx 45-60min at worse. Boerne, TX was a very cool place with grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, Gas station, Pizza Joints. It's a cool little way to get away from the hustle of the city. The pool was a great touch, the hot tub, just as good. Heated water if preferred and owner was very quick to ensure all was taken care of. The WiFi was really for emergency use only phone use was not a problem at all so do what most do and use your phone. The owner ensured we were aware of the this though. It wasn't a deal breaker because vacation is about the people you're with and not surfing the web or checking FB. I'd rent this house again and if you happen to rent you'll feel the same. Side Notes: There were so many items in the house to cook with, grill with, bake, etc.... The owner gladly answered every and any question we had. The ability to play music streaming outside and also inside with either the same or different music was actually a big perk.

Our reunion

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 25, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
I rented this place for a reunion with my college friends. It’s been 15 years since we all met and I wanted to rent a place which will be a memorable one. I looked at several properties and this is the one that I picked. This property exceeded all my expectations and was extremely happy to have rented this place. All of my friends were very very happy too.

The outside fireplace, BBQ area, the pool, just words can’t describe the fun we had. It is a paradise. Nice bedrooms, bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen.

Pat was extremely helpful right from the beginning. He had everything ready by the time we reached.

There is a HEB, bunch of nice restaurants and a gas station within 3 miles so we never had any issues with food, groceries or gas.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this anyone. It’s worth the money I spent.

A wonderful Thanksgiving

The property is better then the photos. We spent Thanksgiving week there. The kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed for Thanksgiving and the other meals. The house is wonderful with plenty of places for people to be without being on top of one another. The property and views are amazing. You feel like you are away but you can get to everything you need in less then 10 minutes.

Management Retreat

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 23, 2012
  • Stayed: Sep 2012
While this house is a big hit with family groups, it is equally well-suited to management retreats. This is the second year we have held our retreat here and we couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations (on either visit).

The house is ideally located for easy access to fantastic golf and not too far from great bird hunting. The secluded and scenic setting allows for great relaxation in the yard, whether you're playing washers, ping-pong, grilling or just listening to music and hanging out at the pool.

The interior is well set up, too, with two TVs on which to watch football, shuffleboard and a great table for games. One day of golf was rained out, but we hardly cared because hanging out at the house was so relaxing. Each of our seven guys had their own beds with a couple to spare.

Great place.

Perfect Setting for Family Reunion!

Our stay at Casa Wheeler was fantastic. During our three day family reunion, we enjoyed the serenity of the location, the vastness of the property with beautiful views and the many activites that were available, especially for the children. The pool was a favorite spot for all and the Longhorn sightings were the perfect photo opportunity. Any suggestions we had for Pat were graciously considered and we would highly recommend it for an enjoyable, relaxing experience.

We came to San Antonio to celebrate my 50th Birthday with family and friends....this home was the perfect setting. From the moment we pulled up to the home until the moment we pulled away it was great. The home has so much charm and personality, it feels like your right at home. The yard & pool are exceptional & the fire pit at night was fun to sit by and relax. Everything about this Beautiful Hillside Ranch House was PERFECT! We will be back.....thank you for sharing your home with us!!

We stayed at Casa Wheeler a third time, for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time, and spent almost all of the weekend relaxing at the house and by the pool. The home is very secluded and quiet. It is quick becoming our favorite place to stay. Well worth the visit.

Wonderful Spring Break

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 19, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2012
If you are considering renting this property, do not hesitate or you will miss out on a wonderful experience. We decided at the last minute to take our family of eight on a short trip for spring break and Pat was gracious enough to cancel his family's stay and let us use his home. Although we were only there for three nights, we will have fond memories of this trip for a long time. The home has been impeccably maintained and renovated, but it still has the charm and character that you cannot find in modern homes. It is truly a treasure from a bygone era. We had activities planned for each day, including Sea World and the Natural Bridge Wildlife Reserve, however, if I had to do it all over again, we would have spent all of our time at Casa Wheeler. There was so much to do - from exploring the property during the day, to playing ping pong on the patio after dinner to staying up late to roast s'mores and tell ghost stories around the firepit. Our three year old was the only one brave enough to use the swimming pool as the water was still very cold, but we still enjoyed relaxing around it in the afternoons. The inside of this home is so quaint and had more than enough room and modern amenities, but frankly, the outside of this property is so incredible, we spent most of our time outdoors. I could go on about Casa Wheeler forever, but my words would never do it justice. We have been renting upscale homes through VRBO for years and consider ourselves to be pretty discriminating. Trust me, if you rent Casa Wheeler, you will not be disappointed.

Pat, my apolgies for taking so long to write this review!

Yee Haw!!!

  • Submitted: Jun 16, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2012
Family of 4 (two young girls 7 and 9) and grandparents had a blast! Our host was gracious and helpful in many ways.

A really good location for experiencing San Antonio.

An ambitious week with the grandparents turned out to be relaxing and eventful. We saw museums, missions, went horseback riding, hiking, ate at some wonderful resturarants, meandered down the river walk, swam in the pool (a-lot) and just relaxed at this beautiful ranch. Slow pace but very enjoyable.

We found all of the owners advice to be useful and spot-on. Restuarant recommendations were thoughtful as well as local grocers.

The only great restaurant we missed was that awesome place in Pearl Market (couldn’t get a reservation…boo hoo) … although we did walk around the Market there which was nice.

Prickly Pear Cactus margaritas are to die for at one of the very fine restuarants on the walk!

The kids favorites besides swimming every minute were the Missions (surprisingly), horses and zoo's Austraila exhibit. Can I hear a Yeee Haaww!!!!
Adults would agree the museums, missions, zoo, gardens and restuarants were great.

Here was our itinerary:
Saturday - arrived and swimming, groceries
Sunday – McNay, swimming
Monday – Zoo, swimming
Tuesday – Alamo , River Walk, swimming
Wednesday – Flying L Ranch, Missions, swimming
Thursday – Botanical Gardens, River Walk, swimming
Friday – Rancho Cortez, SA Museum of Art, swimming
Saturday – swimming, Pearl market

Little room for improvement:
1. WiFi in the home is weak - 3G was fine - difficult problem to improve WiFi in that location currently.
2. Dining room chairs were falling apart (ready for the dumpster dude)!
3. Windows and outdoor furniture were a bit dirty and could use cleaning.

True Texas Hill Experience

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 15, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2012
Six teacher friends stayed here for our spring break from Washington State. This property was exactly what we were looking for. Casa Wheeler is an old world Texas Hill Country escape. Pat and his family have thought of everything to make this special place a real retreat. It was full of charm, character and yet had modern appliances, etc. It was truly a peaceful and beautiful spot, away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. We loved our stay here and know we stubled onto a real find. Thank you to Pat for being such a hospitable host. Our only complaint was the wi-fi, which we never got to work. But really, that was okay too. Helped us enjoy the moment. We never watched the news, just the birds and the peaceful scenery. All the wildflowers were out in their glory too. It was a spectacular time to visit Texas.
