Hill country paradise
This property was an exceptionally lovely retreat to relax in after the busy holiday season. The firepit/grill area provided hours of fun, roasting marshmallows and cooking steaks. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed, from the kitchen to the game cabinet. The wandering longhorns were visible every day of our trip and made for even more beautiful views from the porch. We had such a wonderful time and can’t recommend this property highly enough!

Home on the range
We enjoyed our stay. We fished in the river that runs behind the home. Made s’mores in the outdoor fire pit. We were delighted when we saw the longhorn on the property. Bedrooms are small but clean and comfortable. Kitchen is fully
Stocked but we did have to buy sponges and kitchen towels. It was nice to unplug and enjoy family time cooking, watching movies, dancing and playing games. The location is great for visiting New Braunfels, Luckenbach and Fredericksburg. We did have a minor ant invasion in one of the Kids suitcases but hey, she learned how to use the washer! If you love the outdoors, you will love this beautifully decorated home.
