Family Getaway
This was the best vacation we ever had with our extended family! The house and the porch were extremely clean and spacious allowing private space for everyone but at the same time the large kitchen, dining, living room, game room, etc provided space for group activities. We have never seen a better stocked kitchen! The expansive grounds were fun to explore. After 4 days, no body was ready to leave the place!

Wonderful time!
We stayed at the Rusted Roof Inn recently and had a wonderful time! There were 3 generations of us together, and there was something for everyone. From the fabulous furnishings to the lovely hill country decor to the well-appointed kitchen, we lacked for nothing. Oftentimes houses look better in the pictures than they do in person, but not with this house! The house was extremely clean, the pool and fountain were refreshing, and the property was quiet and peaceful. I hope that we are able to stay there again sometime soon!

WONDERFUL AMAZING HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Place and location was amazing. This house had all the amenities you could think of. We will definitely want to go back around the winter time to enjoy the tons of fire places and terrain this property had to offer.
