Amazing vacation home

We stayed over for George Strait in college station. The commute was easy and the price was unbeatable for all the amenities. We had 10 adults and kids ages 3-18, everyone loved the property, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could ever need. The house was enormous and great for our families to be able to spread out. Outside offered all sorts of activities, fishing, basketball, frisbee, hammocks, giant connect 4. The kids spent little to no time in front of screens. Inside they have an air hockey table, poker table, lots of games and toys. Overall a great house for families with kids, the screened in patio was wonderful for keeping the mosquitoes away. It’s a beautiful property that provides you with everything you need to have a staycation. If we ever go to that part of Texas again we would love to revisit!

Family Gathering

This was the perfect place for our large family to get together! This was the first time our family was all together since our mother passed away in October. It was the perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying family! The property was so spacious that you never felt like you were sitting on top of each other. The large screened in porch was perfect for hanging out (and keeping the little ones contained). There was equipment available for many activities to enjoy as well. You felt like you were way out in the country somewhere even though there are neighbors. The owners responded quickly to questions we had as well. Our family is already talking about staying here again later in the year.

Our stay was amazing! The property was beautiful and comfortably accommodated all our guest. Check in was a breeze. any problems we encountered were addressed promptly and we were given direction on how to resolve the. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The only regret we have is that there had been no rain and the pond was low, but the children and adults still enjoyed the fishing experience. Some of the kids were able to catch their first fish. I will definitely recommend this property to my friends and colleagues as well as my family to theirs.
