Family-friendly vacation rentals in Utopia

The place was everything we had hoped for and then some. Everything was so well thought out, tidy, and well-appointed. Fantastic entertaining areas with tons of seating. Quiet, private and gated. It really felt like home. There were a few household items we forgot to bring, but they were already there. There is also covered parking! Easy river access - stone steps even the little kids could easily navigate and no crowds to hassle with. There was a stone patio with a table and chairs by the water's edge and the expansive area along the riverbank is gorgeous. We had 8 kids from infant to pre-teen and all had a blast - swimming, bicycling, hot tubbing, playing pool and yard games. Plenty of room for our large vehicles and UTV trailer. Owners are very helpful and are ready answer questions or address any issues immediately. Definitely a return trip in our future!

Thank you Arturo for a great property and great communication!

Tim’s place (Rio Bajo) was very delightful! We enjoyed sun bathing by the river, watching Tim’s bird feeder attract many cardinals and all sorts of beautiful birds, hot tub time, star glazing and so much more! Thank you Tim for sharing your beautiful place with us!🙂

The love shack was perfect for a weekend away! We grilled, enjoyed the hot tub, relaxed by the fire ring and on the back porch with gorgeous views. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed, from fire wood for the fire ring to k cups for the coffee pot, and lots of clean towels. We came down for a motorcycle rally, and scenic rides, but this was such a perfect little cabin, that we will absolutely be back. The host was thorough with the instructions, and super friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We were secluded but not too far from grocery stores or restaurants, they were just a little drive away. The bed was SO comfortable too, we both slept great! We had a wonderful time here at the love shack, and can’t wait to come back.

Daniel was very helpful! The house was perfect, we had a great time while staying there!

Great place to stay, especially for BMT grads as it has ease and access to Lackland AFB!

The place was nice for a family especially if going to Sea World, Aquatica, etc. It's very close by. The place was clean, directions were clear. The outdoor space is nice to hang out, although at the end of March the pool was too cold to enjoy but the hot tub made up for it. Note that the 4th bedroom is separate from the house which would be nice for teenagers (we didn't realize that but might not have looked closely enough at the description), so we didn't utilize it since we had younger kids. They had some good suggestions in the binder of local options. They were very responsive on the app with communication.

First of I have to say the house is more beautiful in person! They have everything you would need for your stay including pots and pans, silverware, bowls, plates…. Etc. My favorite part out of everything was the backyard nobody wanted to go back inside the house. The dogs loved!!! The backyard space it was big lots of room for them to roam around. They also have a small gated space near the master bedroom so your dogs can use the bathroom. We used it at night since there is a light and we can see the dogs. The fencing is perfect. I had a chihuahua and there was no way for her to fit underneath it. They did an excellent job covering it. The speakers are through out the house. We loved them!! If you have kids but want to still explore a winery. There is a place 20 minutes away from this Airbnb. It’s called Grapetown vineyard and they also have a safari tour as well. Overall the house is breathtaking perfect for a big family or a little getaway. We will be back for sure!

This was the most beautiful, spacious, accommodating, fully loaded, great smelling Airbnb that I have ever seen. My phone was waterlogged at SeaWorld and I was unable to get into it. For one moment I got in, long enough to get Vanessa‘s contact number so that we may have access to the property, and she picked up the phone immediately. Showed empathy and gave me the code to get into the property with no problems. My family loved living in Vanessa‘s Airbnb. Get this one guys, you will not be disappointed!

This is our second time out to the property. The property was just as if not more beautiful as we remember. The cabins were also very clean, welcoming, and warm just like last time. We love it out here!!!! Bruce and his lovely wife are absolutely wonderful people!!! We will definitely keep coming back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house and deck were so Nice. Seeing the deer every morning and evening was such a treat. The massage chair was awesome. The hosts answered all questions quickly and were always kind and helpful. We hope to return in the Fall. Thank y’all for everything

We had an amazing time at this house in Kerrville. The photographs of this house just don’t do it justice - It’s even better in person. The location is 10 minutes max from town and has the most lovely views from the backyard. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals from scratch- probably the best equipped kitchen we’ve ever had in a vacation rental. The beds are very comfortable. The living space was roomy and had such interesting artwork. The back porch was a delight to sit out on any time of day. The pool was a little chilly the weekend we were there but that’s just because a big storm system had gone through the night before. We still had a fun afternoon in the pool. If you are not there in the height of summer and want to swim, you might want to consider paying to heat the pool- but remember that you need to do that in advance. We would highly recommend this rental home and hope to return.

Thank you for receiving us at your home And your recommendations , peaceful neighborhood and we enjoyed our stay

Our family of four spent four nights here. It’s such a unique spot, with the house being just above a shallow part of the river running over rocks. The sound is incredibly peaceful. The property has a long riverfront that you can enjoy, ranging from the rocky shallow areas to a deeper section where you can start canoeing. We used one of the canoes, plus there was one single kayak and one SUP. A 15-20 minute paddle puts you at Angel Falls which is a beautiful area to splash in the water or just relax. We caught some little bass along the way. The area has fun activities as well, including The Point Theater and Crider’s Rodeo & Dancehall. The house itself could have been cleaner but the location felt so amazing that we didn’t really care. So thankful for the opportunity to stay at this magical property! Truly unique!

We absolutely loved this place! It was bigger than we thought it was going to be, and it had plenty of beds for our group of 11. The kids loved the pool table room, and we all loved the location! It was out in the middle of nowhere with 360 degree beautiful views, and we could see ALL the stars at night. We would definitely stay here again!

It was a very nice. Very close to Sea World.

We had an excellent stay, it had very beautiful surroundings with deer coming on the property in the mornings for a beautiful sunrise view

The inside was beautiful and made you feel like at home. It was very quiet and the town is beautiful. The only thing that really needs attention is the outside of the home. It has too many dead plants and the corners of the home was surrounded by wasp and you couldn’t sit outside comfortably. The area of the hot tub had too many dead plants and others were so near the entrance that we found three scorpions on top of the cover of the hot tub/ I understand nature but fumigation and a little cleaning over the plants and keeping them trimmed and treated I don’t think there is a necessity for those creatures so near a home. I really hope they can fix up a little outside and be able to visit again.

Beautiful place. Beautiful view. Tons of fun things to do. *I totally missed in the description that it’s a studio space with a Queen Murphy bed. It turned out fine, but that was a surprise.

Beautiful peaceful place to stay, loved the jacuzzi tub and the bed was very comfortable. The fire pit was a perfect touch for the clear nights to see the full moon and the stars. We loved our stay!! We will definitely be back.

Great place! Very nice and cozy!

We had a great time- pool was so lovely!

Our stay was wonderful! The cabin was perfect and it was a beautiful property. Upon checking in, the bathroom door was locked and the host had someone there to fix it in minutes! Highly recommend staying here

Our experience at Porch Haus was simply delightful! Our boys had an amazing time, and the amenities were superb. The breathtaking view was incredibly relaxing, and the house had everything we needed. The food at Joushas Creek was fantastic! We enjoyed delicious meals for breakfast and dinner. The pool and drinks/food were top-notch! The only minor challenge was the firmness of the bed, but we adapted and made the most of our stay. Thank you again for such an amazing experience! 🎉🙌🏼🤗
