Amazing
Such a cute house, and all everything you needed. The walk to the water wasn’t bad at all. It was very enjoyable and love that it was dog friendly so the pups could enjoy the outside too.

What a wonderful getaway place by the lake!
We enjoyed our stay so much ! Jessica , our host, had the house well stocked with anything we might have needed to have a carefree stay and small details like a bluetooth speaker , bug repellents are so well appreciated!
The beds were so comfortable to sleep on. The outdoor space was so well set up for us to enjoy nature.
Bluebonnets were in full bloom ( April) too adding more beauty.
Would definitely recommend this place! I will just warn about the bugs for people who cannot stand them at all. Keep the doors closed as much as possible after sunset to prevent bugs from crawling in.

Beautiful Home
House was absolutely beautiful with a large yard and plenty of parking. Host was so kind to leave a goodie basket of snacks. The kitchen was huge and had everything one would need. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in the hill country.

PERFECT GETAWAY!
We had such a great time at this home!
The home was so clean on our arrival. They had EVERYTHING we needed for cooking, playing games, great book selections (“How Do Astronauts Scratch An Itch” is hilarious! On my book order list!) and the hosts even left us some tasty treats! I will even go as far as complimenting the type of hand soap they use because now I’m only getting this brand lol (Mrs Meyers).
Believe it or not the hot tub even felt great despite the hot weather but late at night when things cooled down it worked out fine and for a morning dip while watching the sunrise too! The deck has such a beautiful view as well!
Our dogs loved the freedom to run and play and due to the completely fenced in property we didn’t have worry about them getting into trouble.
These hosts will treat you right so give this place a visit. You won’t regret it! We’ll be back! :)
