"I do not often give outstanding reviews of anything but La Hacienda deserves it. I first stayed at this property 10 years ago when it was under different management. Steve, the new manager, is a wonderful human and gave great service and knowledge of the local area. You know how you can't ever capture the majesty of mountains in a photograph? It's the same here; the pictures promise a delightful stay, but when you are there, it's so much nicer and peaceful than the pictures convey.The river is swimming depth year-round, and my friends and I had fun on the rope swing and hanging out at different areas on the grounds all with some great natural beauty. This house and its grounds are large enough that, I suspect, even if there were 20 people here, one could find a comfortable moment of aloneness in nature. clean hot tub kitchen is very well stocked strong wifi (but I recommend putting screens down while here!) fish, deer, rabbits, and more wildlife galore cool, shaded riverThe only minus I can think is that the porch railing all along the backside is in need of repair. If you lean on it, the entire railing bends; we thought it would break when 2 people leaned on it at the same time. I am confident that Steve is the kind of person who would take this seriously, and if he deems it unsafe, he will take care of it.Overall, this is a rare and true gem among Hill Country properties; take it from this native Texan and Hill Country enthusiast. Thanks, Steve!"
