The Best Family Weekend Trip Ever!
Let me start off by saying this was the BEST TRIP our BIG family has ever taken. We had 19 people (10 adults and 9 children) stay 3 nights in this wonderful property.
There was something for everyone to do and we NEVER LEFT THE PROPERTY for 3 days! It was amazing. From pickleball/basketball court, to paddleboarding, to a pool with a slide, to a movie room, to swimming at the lake and having a beach access for the kids to easily get in and play in the sand, to countless TVs and space for each individual family to have privacy...the list goes on and on. The house is fully stocked with whatever you need to cook, and feel like its your very own home for the weekend.
Our property manager Theresa was INCREDIBLE. She answered any questions and would text back immediately if we had any. Her sweet nature and awesome attitude made us feel even more at home! We were very thankful to have this extra touch. Not to mention we were in touch with Sean the weeks leading up to the trip and was just so helpful.
The house was VERY clean, spacious, enough space for everyone to have their own privacy if needed, and truly an amazing trip for all ages (from 1 to 70). The location on the lake is perfect for families with kids, it is more quiet than being on the lake side of lake travis. We felt comfortable here with the kids swimming and having the time of their lives.
We will be booking this house for our next family get together. The memories created here will never be forgotten.

BEST house!
Rented house for a girls getaway weekend. The house is amazing!! The owners have thought of everything possible for their guests. Not only was the house 5 star. The rental company that manages the home. Hands down they are 10000% the BEST ever. Someone greeted me at check in and was there to help answer any questions etc during our stay. Definitely a 5 star home and 5 star staff to help along the way. Cannot say enough positive things about the property and the management. Beyond impressed!!!!
