Fantastic Experience, Great Host

Great Stay. We came for the April 2024 eclipse and worried that we heard horror stories of other travelers dealing with canceled reservations due to demand from the eclipse. Not Lori -- she was aware of the possibility of short term gain, but as she said, she does not operate that way. We appreciate her integrity, and also how cordial and helpful she is as the property host. House is great -- all that is advertised. We loved the scenery in the Texas hill country and enjoyed the surrounding areas including Fredericksburg. The scnery on the property -- wildflowers and Cactus plants, as well as the horses and the cat, were great. We recommend this property, and Lori, without hesitation. If you're looking to get away and enjoy Texas hill country, look no further!

Ranch Vrbo in Harper, Texas

Lori Sanders is a gracious and warm hostess. She answered all questions prior to our arrival. We walked into our Vrbo to be welcomed by wine, fruit, meat and cheese (which we snacked on all week-end!). The entire house was comfortable and met all our needs. We all especially LOVED the back porch where we could observe deer and birds, including hummingbirds. I highly recommend this Vrbo if you are looking for a serene place to unwind!

Great Girl’s Weekend!!!

This was my second girl’s weekend at this property- just a different group of friends (co-workers) this time. I knew that I could trust the home to be clean, which is so important these days, and to have everything we needed. It is in the country, which is part of the charm, so it is over 20 miles into Fredericksburg. We didn’t mind the nice drive into town and looked forward to returning to our home for the weekend. We especially enjoyed the bird watching on the back deck. Our hostess, Lori, is such a nice person; she started our weekend off by providing a cheese and meat tray, a bowl of fresh fruit and 2 bottles of local wine. She was also available to us to help out with the DVD player one evening when we couldn’t figure it out - she gave us a quick tutorial. We all enjoyed our weekend so much! It was just what we needed. It’s easy to say that I’ll be back for another weekend. Thanks for everything!!!

Thanks so much!

We had a great weekend. The house was great and had everything we needed. It was really nice to meet Lori and we had the best time walking around the property and watching the animals. Big variety of birds to watch and the multiple feeders bring them all to the back porch area where we sat and tried to identify all of them while we were having our coffee. Thanks again to Lori!

Fantastic Getaway

If you want to get away from it all, then this is the place to go. Only 30 or so minutes away from Fredrickburg and very quiet. Great amenities and very clean. Try the Longhorn Cafe in Harper too.

Hill Country Gem!

Lori has decorated and provisioned this beautiful place not as a vacation rental, but as her own home. From directions that were accurate to the fraction of a mile and the welcome wine and cheese tray, to actually stopping by to check if everything was ok ( it was absolutely fine), she definitely went the extra mile making us comfortable. Located in the middle of a ranch, this place has all the amenities of a big city along with the opportunity to enjoy wildlife and farm animals right outside your window. The deck in the front is perfect for stargazing at night, and the back one for birdwatching in the day. Definitely one to visit again!

Absolutely, love this place!!

From the moment, we arrived, we felt so comfortable and at home. The house was nicely decorated and immaculate. We were completely blown away by the warm welcome we received from Lori. Awaiting our arrival was a welcome tray of cheeses and meats and crackers, a large bowl of fresh fruit and wine! Sitting on the back porch in the evening, watching the sun go down and the deer feeding in the pastures was so tranquilizing. We never felt so comfortable, so at peace. We will surely be back.

Great Retreat Location

The location was far enough out of the way for the privacy and quite that we were looking for, yet it was no more than 30 minutes away from Kerrville. My Mother-in-law really enjoyed watching the deer every day. The kitchen was outfitted better than any other retreat we have ever rented. It was clean and comfortable. We will consider using this place again.

Very clean and quiet place to stay.

Although, the water heater had issues we had a great experience and stay. Lori was very accommodating and got right on the issue from the water heater. The house was very equipped with every thing plus more needed. I recommend this place for your next stay 100%

Great place away from it all. Very clean, comfortable, quiet, and secluded.

This is a great spot and this is the second time I’ve stayed here. It’s great with the kids, or just as a quiet getaway without the kids. Far enough away from everything that you can’t hear traffic or any other ambient noise from a city. No streetlights nearby so you can see all the stars. I highly recommend this place and Lori has been the best. I can’t say enough good things, I love it here.

Great getaway

Perfect place to get away and relax with the family getting our teenage children to interact with the family instead of devices. Great distance from town where there were plenty of things to do. The kitchen was well stocked and we even had two bottles of wine a delicious meat and cheese tray and crackers waiting for us when we arrived.

Excellent hide away for relaxation, family, with great places to visit nearby.

We were looking for a place to relax, have our children come out to visit, and be able to visit surrounding places of interest. Darla's Getaway fit the bill. Lori was an excellent host who was available close by to provide any information or help you might need. Wildlife to watch from a covered deck, short drives to San Antonio, Fredericksburg, Boerne, wineries, and breweries. We were very satisfied with our chose. Highly recommend since it provides both a need to get away, but close enough to enjoy day trips.
