A fantastic alternative to a traditional hotel, Chicken Paradise is the most relaxing and private B&B we've ever been to. The gardens are lush with colorful blooms and fresh herbs that make their way to your breakfast table every morning. We set by the pool, relaxed in the treehouse and slept with the windows open at night. We were greeted... More

What a great place.... I was so sad to have to leave when our stay there was over. Beautiful property, outstanding food and wonderful hospitality. Absolutley no hesitation to stay again when/if we are back in town and I have already highly recommended it to any of my good friends. Not a single complaint :)

This lovely B&B really takes the gluten-free cake! It causes my previous "excellent" reviews to pale. Anne and "Papa" Joe are wonderful hosts and they have created a comforting and magical oasis of carefree nurture in the midst of San Antonio. I traveled with my daughter who is celiac and we never imagined we'd find such a perfect place. My... More

My wife and I just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary here and no surprise to me, we had a great time. I say no surprise because this is my second visit to this wonderful place. I first visited and discovered Chicken Paradise on a local bicycle tour here with my father. There is no doubt that Chicken Paradise is paradise... More

If you look in Webster's Dictionary under "hospitality", you should find a photograph of Joe and Anne Barfield and the Chicken Paradise Bed & Breakfast. From our late evening arrival reception to our farewell a week later we were continually delighted by our hosts' (husband, wife, two dogs, numerous fowl and squirrels) kindnesses and generosities. Suggesting routes for Hill Country... More

When my wife told me that we were to stay at a B&B with chickens I wasn’t expecting much. All of the positive Internet ratings notwithstanding, lodging with fowl did not seem like the best combination for a relaxing getaway. Was I wrong. The chickens were efficiently cared for by ‘Papa Joe’ and were more of a quaint sideshow than... More

We have just returned from spending 3 nights at Chicken Paradise. We can only agree with the other reviewers - it is a truly lovely place to stay. The grounds are relaxing; the room is a great size with a lovely comfy bed; the breakfast is delicious and unusual; the swimming pool is heavenly. Owners Anne and Joe are that... More

We stayed at the Chicken Paradise for 2 nights in April, 2012. Papa Joe and Anne are extremely warm hosts. They only have 1 set of guests at a time so guests get a lot of attention. The food was excellent. We are not in need of a glutten free diet. If we had not been informed that the meals... More

Chicken Paradise is an amazing little oasis in the city. My husband and I have been there twice now, and we wouldn't dream of ever staying anywhere else in San Antonio. Despite being in the city, you'll feel like you've stepped into the country once you drive up. There are chickens and peacocks roaming the grounds and the landscaping is... More
