What guests are saying: I am writing to let you know about our stay at the beautiful La Hacienda near Utopia….. The accommodations were perfect, the house was decorated with special touches both inside and outside. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility. The stars were never brighter and saw fire-flies for the first time in years. We relaxed every evening in the hot tub listening to our favorite tunes. Especially during this pandemic time, it was a much needed get-away! We took one day to head to Lost Maples Park for a family hike, played volleyball and went swimming. The owners truly thought of everything, including a stocked kitchen! We hope to return next year with our family. Thanks again for a special weekend. Lenora: San Antonio, TX

Thank you so much! We had the BEST time at La Hacienda. We booked the house because it was my 30th birthday + my college graduation! It was the perfect place to celebrate! I had a surprise there too as my boyfriend proposed to me!!! We sat down by the river as the fireflies were coming out when he pulled out the ring. It was literally perfect. Some of our friends have said that this was the best vacation they had in a long time and that we should make this a yearly celebration and we agree! Ellie: Euless, TX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What a Beautiful house surrounded by gorgeous nature! The perfect escape from the day to day! Thank you so much for our mini vacay, one to remember!

I would like to give you a big thank you for letting us go look in January before reserving it; to see how it was laid out for our Autistic granddaughter, Elena. She really loved the place and you will be happy to know La Hacienda gave her the opportunity to learn how to swim in the river. She did not want to get out of the river towards nighttime. Us having the privacy of the property was a bonus because Elena likes to wonder throughout and she had plenty of room for that. Now my grandson Abner (2 year old) did not want to leave this morning because he wanted to go back into the river. He had a blast and was able to enjoy the outdoors. He loves being outside, and being able to observe all the wildlife was awesome for his young eyes. Being in the city we do not have the opportunity to see deer in our backyards in the morning, or seeing a hummingbird feed from the feeder or plants. You gave these two (Elena and Abner) a special break in their young lives, and that is a special thank you; because you make this property available to rent. (words cannot express the happiness/smiles on their faces) I am deeply appreciative with our vacation results. "La Hacienda" was very special to us and my son is saying he would like to make plans to return next year. Once again thank you very much for a memorable vacation for me and my family and hopefully if we have the opportunity to pass by your place of business I will stop in to meet the person responsible for making this vacation very special for my family! Sylvia: Spring, TX *They have returned every year since!

This is a beautiful property right on the river with plenty of space and a comfortable home. We had our extended family stay and there’s plenty of room and so much to do. Thanks so much to the property owners for a beautiful stay!
The pictures don’t do this place justice! La Hacienda in Utopia was everything we needed for a perfect vacation. It’s the kind of spot where you never have to leave to eat, swim, fish, play, relax, and sleep all in one place.Our group ranged from ages 13 to 75, and everyone had a great time. Within the first five minutes, the family fisherman caught a 2.5 lb bass! The water was clear, flowing, and perfect for private swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The property is beautifully landscaped with shady cypress trees and wide green lawns for relaxing or playing catch.The adults loved the hot tub, the big kitchen made family meals easy, and the four bedrooms had plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. Best of all it was just a short drive from San Antonio. Truly a 10/10 stay. Something for the whole family to enjoy.
The house was very clean, well stocked kitchen and linens/towels. Two full size refrigerators was really convenient, we had food in one and drinks in the other. Check in & out was simple. The Hacienda decor inside & outside is nice and had a relaxing vibe! The hot tub on the patio was perfect for hanging out, we kept the heat down to more of a room temperature feel for entertaining the grandkids while taking a break from the river. The views of the river, giant trees, butterflies and birds is spot on as well. We all loved watching the mass quantity of fireflies each evening, with all the native plants and trees it made for a magical experience! A great place for a large group because of the house size, the extra large patio area and vast, separate fire pit seating area, volleyball net and multiple swings, picnic tables throughout the shady lawn area between the deck and river with thick green grass you could walk barefoot through! It’s a large property with total privacy! Also, a shout out to The Lost Maples Cafe in Utopia, incredible food, pie and excellent prices and service!
